Tori's cell vibrates across the counter.She picks it up, frowning at the small screen.

"Bro? What...?"

She is cut short by Stoney's voice. "Sorry sis, I'm calling for Grace. I see she is resting, but I have to ask her something."

Silence meets his words. After a few moments she sighs. "Fine."

She lays a hand on Grace's shoulder, gently waking her from the doze she has fallen into as they closed up. She sends Stoney her irritation before she hands the cell to her friend.

She was sleeping a little. I hope this is bloody important Bro.


"Stoney. He wants to ask you something. Are you up to it."

Grace smiles, shaking the cobwebs from her mind. She holds the phone a moment then puts it to her ear. "Yes? This is Grace..."

Alise' soft voice brings a smile to her lips. Her smile grows as she listens to beautiful accent. "I am sorry to wake you, but we have a question, one that comes from my whole family. We have a new little girl. She is strong minded and likes the name we have chosen for her, but we would like to have your permission. We want to name her Sarah Grace. We would call her Gracie for short."

Tears fill Grace' eyes. She wipes them away, yet they choke her voice. "I would be honored..."

"We want to have a naming ceremony. The children want Grandmere Grace to be there. Will you come?"

"Grandmere?" A touch of confusion slips into her voice.

Alise laughs. "The little ones call you Grandmere. They all adore you and have told Sarah how special you are."

Grace touches the trail of tears as they slip down her cheeks, wiping them away. "Grandmother? I have no children... I never thought.... yes, yes, name the day and I will come. I am sooo honored."

She clicks off the cell, handing it to Tori. "I am a grandmother..."
