Saving Grace Point

Chapter 10

Jasmine pulls me into the livingroom and waves Luke into the livingroom as well. "Jasmine she is hungry and needs food let her cook.," he said. "Okay, I will but I need to tell ya'll something.," she said. We head into the kitchen so I can start cooking. Luke and Jasmine go to the kitchen table and set down. I looked in the fridge and decided to fix something simple, Chopped italian sub. I start fixing them as Jasmine starts to talk.

Jasmine: We got a huge break in Grace's case. We thought that he was careful but he wasn't. Plus there is some new information that one of the other PI's shared. Are you both ready for this?

Me and Luke: Yes

Jasmine: Okay...He paid one of the cops to say that she killed herself. I now have enough for the judge to see the case. I am pretty sure that she will want AnnaBeth to tell her story as well. Not only will AnnaBeth have to tell hers but the cop, and we found another woman that he did this too.

Me: Whait?! What?!

Luke: I knew it. He needs to go away....will this put him away?

Jasmine: I hope it does

I hand everyone their plates and we start eating. What did Luke knew about Brett or what Brett did? I know that I don't need Brett but is staying here going to do me any good? It still don't set right with me knowing the Brett called Luke a loser. It's like they had a connection. How does Brett know Luke? Should I do digging myself? or ask Luke and see if he will tell me the truth?

*Lukes View*

I didn't know what to expect when I took her to the doctors appointment. I knew that she probably still had feelings for Brett. On the way to the doctor's office I knew I needed to tell her to really act like we are together and that its our baby. Its the only way that I can protect her and the baby from Brett. Brett is a very cruel and dangerous man. I could back off once he was behind bars.

I helped her when she needed it filling out the papers. I had no idea that they was going to stick that wand thing in her. I thought they just scanned your stomach and that was it. I was a little nervous when the nurse told her she had to strip from the waist down. I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable so I made an excuse to step outside. I also didn't want to stepout because she looked scared.

I seen that doctor Robinson was heading our way so knocked on the door before I went in. When Suzy Robinson opened the door and came in..I was afraid of what she was going to say. But to my surprise she didn't say anything unprofessional. I know I will have to tell AnnaBeth about her..but right now I just want to know eveything is okay. We answered questions and then she did the ultrasound. When I heard the heartbeat of the baby I knew right then I would do everything I could to protect her and that baby. That was the best sound I have heard, its the best sound anyone could ever hear.

I wanted her to be mine but I needed her to be ready for someone else. I pulled my thoughts of her and baby being mine. I looked over at her and seen she had tears in her eyes. Was she sad that Brett wasn't here..did she even miss him? When the doctor handed me the pictures...I was at a loss for words. All I could do was just keep looking at them...wondering how someone could do someone else like this. I was glad to find out that she could do almost anything but riding horses. Which was fine because she could do that after the baby. Plus if she was needed at other parts of the ranch, which I doubt it, she could take the 4x4 (ATV).

As we check out and left that is when she let it all come out. She was afraid of raising the baby alone. I knew that I wouldn't let that happen but I didn't want her to think I was coming on strong. I knew she needed some time to talk to God and I knew just the place to take her...church. I was glad that she wanted to go because I wasn't ready to go home just yet. When we arrived at the church and walked in, I let her take the first pew and I set behind her. I don't know what happen but something came over me and while she prayed and talked, I said my own prayer and talked. God if your listening to me I am sorry for not coming to you when I needed to. Forgive me and help me love again. I want to love AnnaBeth and the baby. Help me love them like you love us. Help me show AnnaBath that there is good men out there. Thank you lord for letting AnnaBeth come to the ranch and putting her in my path. Amen.

As we was leaving I hadn't paid attetion to the time and when her stomache growled, I knew it was time for lunch. We headed back to the ranch. No sooner that I got in Jasmine was pulling her into the livingroom. I knew that she needed to eat so I told Jasmine to let her eat and we would talk in the kitchen. When Jasmine told us all the information I was shocked. I knew Brett would pull something like that. I knew there was another one before Grace. How am I going to tell AnnaBeth....Jasmine? They are not going to trust me anymore.

*Annabeth's view*

Here I was trying to figure out how Luke and Brett knew each other. Maybe I should ask Jasmine. Luke gets up and goes out to the barn to help with the horses. Jasmine stays to help me clean up, now is my chance to see what she knows.

Me: Jasmine this may sound crazy but does Luke and Brett know each other?

Jasmine: It kinda does sound crazy. But I don't think they know each other. Luke would have said something. Plus I don't think Luke would be involoved with the mafia.

Me: You are right...but I just can't shake what he said...well what I thought he said.

Jasmine: What are you taking about? What did he say? When did he say it?

Luke walked back into the house just as Jasmine was asking me. I didn't want to answer her because I don't want Luke to know that I think he is involved with Brett. So I got up and headed to my room, if Jasmine followed I would tell her. If she didn't then well I don't know.
