“Ms. Teague, please don’t take this the wrong way, but why are you willing to marry my young
master.”
“I don’t think your skepticism is wrong. I would have wondered the same thing. The truth is, I’m doing this for Marla. I’m not sure why, but she truly feels I am the best person to marry Kai, I want to do everything I can to prove her right.”
I smiled thinking about her words from this morning.
“Besides. I have the feeling she doesn’t take being wrong so well. I don’t want to be first time that’s ever happened.”
Cameron let out a loud laugh, it was true, Marla Christiansen was not a fan of being wrong. He concluded that if this girl was smart enough to know that, at least she wouldn’t do anything to hurt Kai.
As the arrived on the VIP floor, Cameron escorted her to the young master’s suite. As they got closer, Gracie could hear what seemed like arguing.
“Mom, I just don’t think this is a good idea! I mean what do we know about her!”
“Kayla, I’ve told you everything.”
“What, that she’s a Rochester! I don’t really know them!”
Then there was the sound a male voice, possibly Theo.
“Kayla, sweetheart, we wouldn’t do anything that would jeopardize the safety of your brother. Now I’m asking you, please, trust your mother and I.”
As we entered the room, I could see a beautiful younger woman staring Marla and Theo in the eyes. This must be their daughter. I’d done a little research on my way to the hospital.
The Christiansens had two children, 22 year old Kai and 18 year old Kayla.
Suddenly, the three of them turned and looked at me and Cameron as we walked into the
suite. Marla was the first to speak. Walking to me with a bright smile, she held her arms
out to embrace me in a hug.

“Gracie! It’s so nice to see you again!”
“You too Marla.”
“Marla. Aren’t you comfortable.”
“Gracie. We can’t thank you enough for this. Allow me to also introduce you to my daughter. This is Kai’s little sister Kayla.”
“What are you doing!”
“It’s so nice to meet you Kayla. I’ve always wanted a little sibling, so thank you.
وو
Kayla finally stopped squirming and allowed me to embrace her. After pulling back, I smiled at my new sister who was now pouting but didn’t argue.
Good. First part over.
I then turned my attention to my husband to be, Marla then walked over to his bedside
and held out her hand. I gently grabbed her hand and walked over to his bedside. With
light tears in her eyes Marla introduced us.
“Gracie, I’d like for you to meet our son. Kai.”
I wasn’t sure why, but I felt like I’d met him before, that’s not possible though. Ha.
Smiling, I kneeled down so that I was at his bed level.
“Nice to meet you Kai. I’m Graceland.”
