Gracie sighs as she turns in the bed and slowly opens her eyes to find the crib empty; she goes to get up at once in alarm but her daughter's squeals stops her. She smiles watching Tristan and Tracie on the floor playing with each other.

"Say daddy" Tristan speaks to his daughter who pts both of her hands on his face making him cringe before he once again asks her to say it.

"Come on, just try it say daddy"

"Daddy" Gracie calls making both of their head turn towards her and she laughs before getting up from her bed.

"I can call you daddy" she grins as she rushes to their side.

"You are not my daughter" he frowns getting up as he picks Tracie as well.

"When did you arrive?" she asks instead as she sits on his lap.

"Early, you were sleeping while she was awake" he points as he kisses her forehead handing Tracie to her.

"Sad, you did not join me in bed," she pouts bringing pushing her hair away from her daughter's reach.

"Well your dad would have killed me if he found me in your bed, he did not seem happy seeing me here early" he shrugs as he holds both of his daughter's hand who seems unhappy at that.

"Did you also say you came to take us back home?"

"I did not want to die early and anyway you said you will talk to your parents" he reminds her.

"Pussy" she sighs and he glares at her.

"Not in front of Tracie"

"Well she did arrive from there"

"God Gracie" he groans as he takes Tracie in his arms and pushes his wife away from his lap.

"Daddy is mean," she pouts while her daughter squeals throwing her arms towards her mother.

"Come on, freshen up"

"Join me"

"I don't even want to talk with you" he sighs as he turns to walk out but Gracie jumps and holds his legs.

"What are you doing?"

"I missed you, please don't leave me," she pouts while wrapping her legs around his leg.

"You are such a drama queen, get up and freshen up already" he laughs as he ruffles her hair before she smile brightly and gets up.

"Okay, be right back" she states before rushing to the bathroom.

*******

"Now kiss me" Gracie whispers in Tristan's ear from behind.

"You are unbelievable at times" Tristan chuckles as he turns his head to give her a kiss.

"Hey baby girl happy daddy is here?" Gracie coos as she picks her daughter who was happily sitting in her seat.

Tracie squeals loudly, which makes Gracie wince, Tracie starts to babble on looking from her hands towards Tristan as if telling her father something important.

"Is our daughter complaining to you about something?" Gracie asks as Tracie keeps on babbling her own words, which had no meaning.

"I think she is, come here sweetheart. Now tell me all, what your mother did. Was she bad?" Tristan asks as he takes Tracie in his arms.

"Hey you two stop it," Gracie frowns following them around.

"Oh yes honey, I understand your feelings your mother can be difficult at times"

"Tracie, stop complaining to your father about things that did not happened"

"Oh is that so? Ha! Your mother is horrible"

"What did she say? TT, stop pretending, you understand her" Gracie shouts at her husband.

"Oh but I understand her perfectly that is why she is talking with me, right sweetheart" Tristan speaks to his daughter who stares at him and then her mother before she pulls her tongue out and spits.

"Oh my God" Tristan laughs at what his daughter did who laughs along with her father.

"You taught her that" Gracie accuses Tristan who shakes his head no.

"I swear I did not, this is the first time I saw her doing so. Who taught you that sweetie?" he asks his daughter who just smiles at him.

*******

"Did we do something?" Grace asks her daughter as she watches them walk out with their bags.

"Mom, no, it's just that how do I say it" she sighs as she hugs her mother hoping she would understand.

"Well guess I will never know how it feels as when I had you and your brother I never got a chance to stay away from your father...

In a way I do understand and in a way I don't" Grace sighs as she pulls away from hr daughter and caress her cheeks before kissing on her forehead.

"Just remember unlike me, you have your parents to always welcome you in your home," Grace adds as her eyes moisten.

"Oh mom, I know. Moreover, I do not want Tracie to grow without knowing the greatest grandparents...

I promise I will come back and stay few days unlike this time"

"Okay, we will come visit you all time and again" Grace smiles as she turns towards Tristan to hold her granddaughter.

"Sorry, to cause you all trouble" Gracie smiles as she hugs her father.

"Never, it's always a pleasure to see you cause trouble" Nicholas smiles hugging his daughter tightly.

"I will miss you"

"I know I will miss you and Tracie too" Nicholas sighs as they stay like that for a while before stepping way.

"Take care of them" Nicholas states as he stares at Tristan meaningfully who nods his head once.

*******

Both, Tristan and Gracie frown as they watch Tulip and Gabby standing in front of the gate with bags in each of their hands.

"Hey, what are you two doing?" Gracie asks as she gets out of the car and stares at their hands.

"I just felt like not being alone after the biggest fight in history of my birth," Gabby comments shrugging her shoulder.

"Uh what?"

"I am amazed they did not announced in the news but anyway I and Rare I mean Ricardo Russo are not in talking terms at the moment" she clarifies.

"Okay and what about you?" Gracie asks staring at Tulip who just shuffles in her place.

"Come on girls, let's go inside and talk" Tristan interrupts Gracie's questions as he hands Tracie to his wife before taking all the girls bags and walking inside.

"He is such a gentleman" Gabby sighs as she follows the man.

"So, Tutu?" Gracie asks waiting on for her answer while Tristan sighs.

"Why don't you go put Tracie in the bed while I make us some coffee?" he suggests.

"But"

"Have you ever heard curiosity kills cat, baby?" Tristan asks making Gracie groan and walk towards their room.

"Make some food too" Gabby orders as she jumps on the couch and watches the TV.

"Yes your highness" Tristan bows making Gabby grin.

"Don't over do it else I will be tempted to keep you as my slave" Gabby comments while Tristan just smiles shaking his head before walking towards kitchen.

*******

"You want to talk?" Tristan asks as he starts the coffee while Tulip silently sits in the kitchen.

"No" she whispers making him sigh.

"You can stay here as long as you want to"

"No actually, I came to ask for your help"

"What help?"

"I need a job and a place," she states making him turn towards her in surprise.

"Damon will kill me, literally"

"I don't know where to go to ask for help"

"Tutu, after last time I am the last person you should ask for help. Moreover, right now, I am not really the best person in front of the Price brothers"

"Okay"

"Please, stay here maybe after few days whatever this is between you two"

"I really don't want to hear anything about him or even talk about him" she interrupts him.

"He is your husband"

"One I am divorcing soon"

"Excuse me?" he asks shocked this time.

"Few things were said and done between us and I don't think I can forgive him for that"

"I think whatever happened between you two can be solved if you two talked okay, no need to take that huge step...

You two love each other, god divorce, where did that came from?" he asks waving his hands around.

"You are divorcing my brother?" Gabby gasps from the kitchen door before she rushes to stand in front of Tulip.

"One you were making out in his kitchen and one you married few months ago, one who is crazily in love with you...

You got some huge balls, err huge boobs for doing that," she points out shaking her head in amazement.

"Gabby" Tristan chuckles but stops as the girl continues.

"But I feel you, men are idiots. They are like you cannot be with that man; you cannot talk with that man because I am the only man in your life...

While, they have fiancée who sucks their dick in broad day light while I am hiding behind the couch, stupidly...

Moreover, I have to call Bo to pick me up while I am crying all the way back home, because I felt bad for fighting with him, so I said fuck this and let's make the first step...

However, guess what, they have ego bigger than their dick...

While I feel guilty for having our very first fight he is there fucking his fiancée as if he has no care in the world, no care for me...

Moreover, it hurts seeing him so, so close, with someone else and every time I remember that moment, my chest pains, I feel like I cannot breathe and will die and I start to cry all over again...

In addition, I feel like crying right now, because I have been ignoring him and nothing feels same also, he stopped calling me, which never happens...

Therefore, yeah maybe you should divorce my brother and show him you can live without him, but soon you will feel sad and this feeling of being alone and dying alone because no man will ever love you will come eat you...

Then again if I cannot be happy, I say no one deserves happiness" Gabby ends her babbling before she frowns and stares at the floor for a while before she walks out as if nothing happened.

*******

"Oh my, she is in love" Tristan states as both of them watch towards the door still stunned at what just happened.

"I never had doubt on that" Tulip comments before slowly facing Tristan.

"Did she say she watched them?" Tristan asks and Tulip slowly nods her head.

"Shit" Tristan curses before he turns to pour coffee in cups.

"First love brings lots of pain sometime" Tulip smiles sadly before she walks out of the kitchen.

"Until you let it hurt you"

"What?"

"First love, we give it the power to hurt us, maybe we should have a little patience and fight it with all of our worth who knows what the next day will bring for us...

In my case, Gracie never gave up on her love for me and right now, I am the happiest I have ever been" Tristan smiles passing her a cup as he walks out of the room.
