~~Chapter twentieth~~

"Alright I guess" Ali said confused.

~~*~~
Amber came running up the stairs. Emily was seating in her room, reading a novel. She knocked on the door and Ali came running and before Emily could reach for the door she took hold of the door knob.

"Are you trying to hide a guy or something?" Emily asked.

"What? no but Why?" Ali asked pretending to be unaware. 

"well you practically ran to open the door when I am the nearest to the door, see this is the door and adjecent it is my room" Emily stated.

"Am I not allowed to come in or what?" Amber said from the other side of the door. 

"Amber?" Emily said confused. Ali quickly opened the door.

"What are you doing here?" Emily asked with a hug grin on her face.

"Well Ali called me to suprise you" Amber told.

"She told you about my melt down didn't she?" Emily asked.

Amber stood froze and confuse. Her eyes were norrowed down. She didn't have the slightest idea about the melt down. 

"You have no idea" Emily stated.

Ali told to go with the flow through her expression.

"Well off course she did, we are talking about Ali come one, give me hug quickly" Amber said and quickly looked at Ali all confused.

"what melt down?" Amber asked through lipsing. Ali flipped her hand in circle indicating that they will talk about it later.

Ali walked to kitchen and called Emily and Amber. They both followed her to the kitchen. Ali gave Amber a glass of water.

"Ohh shoot" Ali said.

"What is it?" Emily asked.

"Darling can you run to the store I want a couple of things?"Ali requested.

"Ohh ya sure" Emily said and wrote down a list and gave her some cash.

"Oh yes if you want some Cheetos you can buy those too and you come on help me with lunch" Ali said to Emily and Amber respectively.

"Alright" Emily said. Emily walked out of the house. Ali made sure she was gone.

"Janson come on tell us already, she is gone" Ali called Janson said.

"No questions right now" Ali said quickly. Amber shook her head and pressed her lips together as if stopping her questions to come out

Janson came out quickly wearing a shirt. They all sat down in the living room. Janson didn't know how to tell or what to tell.

"Okay I am not sure but I guess she is here?" Janson said and waited for their reactions.

"Who kid, I am not getting it?" Ali asked.

"Mom Grace is here" Janson said and let out a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean she is here?" Ali asked.

"I saw her the other day talking to Emily when we were in the food court" Janson told.

"It's not possible, she doesn't know where we are" Ali said concerned. Amber sat quiet lost in her thoughts.

"What are we gonna do Janson? she is gonna take her" Ali said worried.

"Mom don't worry about it please we are gonna take care of it" Janson said assuring her.

"She must be someone else, it can't be true" Ali said almost teary.

"Well she can be Grace. Emily is in contact with her, remember when we went for shopping, Emily told me she saw a women who had the exact same tattoo on the exact same place, Grace had and when we went to the concert, she disappeared for sometime and when I asked her she told me she was talking to a women who had the same tattoo, I didn't react or gave it that much of a thought because I didn't thought it would be her and most probably Emily forgot about the shopping day" Amber told.

"Oh my god she was here in the house and we crossed each other on the porch, it was her" Ali said remembering.

"What are you guys talking about you both already saw her?" Janson asked panicked.

"We never saw her, you did" Ali said.

"She is gonna take her away Janson, she is gonna take away my daughter from me" Ali cried. Janson took hold of Ali and hugged her.

"What are we gonna do?" Janson asked.

"Is it that bad she is back?" Amber asked. Janson shook his head quickly telling her to shut up. Ali looked at her upset.

"She will understand if we sit her down and talk to her, I mean it's Grace we are talking about" Amber said.

"You don't know her like I do, both of you don't know many things. She is not who you think she is" Ali said.

"Don't worry mum we are not even sure if it's her, if she is then we will take care about it" Janson said still hugging her.
