Chapter 4

Rachel and Grace meet up with Shelby at whole foods market. "Hey you two" Shelby greeted them.

"Hey Nana Shelby" Grace said and hugged her.

"Hey Mom" Rachel said.

"So how was your first Day of Middle School?" Shelby asked as they walked around the store.

"Great. I made two new Friends. Beth and Ben. I also plan on joining the Choir. Auditions are Tomorrow after School" Grace said excited.

"That's great. Have you chosen a song yet?" Shelby asked. Grace nodded. "Okay if you want i will help you rehearse after dinner" she suggested. Grace nodded eagerly.

"Hey Mom guess who we ran into?" Rachel said. Shelby looked at her. "Quinn Fabray" she said. Shelby looked at her with wide eyes.

"Wasn't that one of the girls you spied on VA with? That day that we first met? The other Pregnant one?" she asked in disbelief.

"Yeah the one and only. She lives here now. Actually she lives on the other side of Central Park. And she is Grace's new Friend Beth's Mom" Rachel explained. "We went for pizza together before we got here and talk a bit" she added. Shelby nodded. They continued their Shopping and then went to Rachel's apartment. Grace went of to her room to start her Homework and practice her audition song. Rachel and Shelby started cooking in the Kitchen.

"So what did you and Quinn talk about?" Shelby asked as she prepared the chicken.

"Glee Club. She told me what happened after i left and what they are doing now and i told her why i left" Rachel said as she began cutting the Vegetables. Shelby nodded.

"And how did she take the news?" Shelby asked.

"Well she certainly was surprised. But she understood it when i explained it" Rachel said. Shelby looked at her.

"Did you...Did you tell her about..."Shelby asked carefully looking from Rachel to the Door.

"No...no i left that part out but i think she will figure it out by herself" Rachel said with a sigh. Shelby placed an arm around Rachel.

"People are going to find out eventually and so will Grace" she said. Rachel sighed.

"I know"

They continued to cook. Soon the food was almost done and there was a knock at the front door. Grace went to open it.

"Granny...PawPaw..."she exclaimed happily and hugged them both. Rachel and Shelby came out of the kitchen.

"Granny...PawPaw" Rachel said happily and hugged them as well.

"Hey Mom...Dad" Shelby greeted her Parents. Shelby's Parents were Marie and Peter Corcoran. They were both 70 years old. They both had short gray hair. Marie's hair was slightly curled while Peters was neatly combed. They both had brown eyes. Rachel and Shelby went back into the kitchen to check on the food. Peter pulled Grace aside.

"Here but don't tell your Mother" he whispered as he handed her a 5 Dollar bill.

"I won't i promise. Thank you" Grace said and kissed his cheek. Pater went to one of the couches and sat down. Marie walked up to her.

"Don't tell your mother" she whispered and also handed her a 5 dollar bill.

"I won't thank you" Grace said and kissed her cheek. Soon the rest of the Family arrived. Shelby had 4 siblings. 3 Brothers and one Sister. The oldest was Robert, who was 4 years older than Shelby. He worked at the Family company a Law Firm. He was married to Fiona, who has her own Beauty salon. They have two children. Darren age 17 and Nick age 15. After that came Stan, who was 2 years older than Shelby. He works as a Marketing Salesman and is a Happy Single. After Shelby came her 2 years younger Sister Sarah, who is a Photographer. She is married to Thomas a journalist. They have two children. Hannah age 16 and Jonas age 13. The youngest is Henry, who is 4 years younger than Shelby. He also works at the Family company. He is married to Susan, a High School teacher, and they have three Children. The twins Olivia and Clara age 5 and Aaron age 2. Shelby was the first in the Family to have a child at age 19. Her Family wasn't too happy abut it but learned to live with it especially after Rachel came back into Shelby's life. They all sat down at the light brown dining table in the Dinning room. The Dining room was right next to the Kitchen. It held a big table with places up to 20 people, if extended. The walls were light Blue with light brown panels. The floor was also light brown. On one side was a small Bar. On two Walls were wall high windows. Though one you could see the New York Streets and through the other you could see onto the terrace. There were a few Paintings on the Walls. They ate, talked,laughed and played a few games. After Dinner Shelby helped Grace rehearse her song. At 9pm Grace had to go to bed.

The next day Grace and Rachel met Beth and Quinn in front of the School building. After Grace and Beth walked into the Building Rachel and Quinn left to get some Coffee before Quinn had to go to work. Turned out that Quinn worked at Rachel's Family's Law Firm now. Grace and Beth had Mathematics first thing in the Morning. They sat in the last row.

"So what did your Mom tell you after you left?" Grace asked as she pulled her book out.

"Well not much. She didn't go into much detail but she gave me a quick summary" Beth said.

"Yeah same here. Mama also said that they may spent more time together" Grace shrugged. Beth nodded as their Teacher entered the room. The time until lunch went by slowly. After Math Grace had Chemistry and then Study Hall together with Beth. At Lunch they met up the Jason and Ben.

"So your Mom's?" Jason asked curious.

"They knew each other but they weren't friends" Grace started and explained everything she knew. Jason and Ben listen carefully.

"So are you prepared for your Audition later?" Ben asked. Grace nodded.

"Yeah My Nana helped me after Dinner it's going to be great" She said confident. Jason shakes his head laughing. Grace playfully hit him.

"Have you heard from the Basketball team yet?" Beth asked. Jason looked at her.

"No they said they hang out the Team list during Lunch. I will look when i'm done eating" He said slightly nervous.

"Don't worry i've seen you play your good" Grace said. Jason smiled at her. After dinner they went out to the blackboard. Jason nervously walked up to look at the list.

"I MADE IT" he said and made an air fist bump. They all congratulated him and hugged him.

"I really hope i make the Cheerleading team now so i can cheer you on" Beth said smiling. After Lunch Grace had PE with Ben. After that they had a free lesson. This was where one of their electives would take place. The four decided to meet up in the courtyard that was between the school building and the big Gym. They sat at a Table doing some homework and chatting.

"Hey Grace" shouted a voice. They all turned to look at the source of the voice. It was a slightly older boy with spiky brown hair with Red tips. He was slightly tall and had a slight square face with Blue eyes. He wore a shirt of a rock band under a Blue and white school jersey.

"Oh Hey Jonas" Grace said smiling. "Guys this is my Cousin Jonas" she said to the group. "Jonas these are Beth, Ben and i think you have met Jason occasionally" Grace added.

"Hey" they said as he sat down next to them.

"Don't you have class?" Grace asked.

"No one of my teachers unexpectedly called in sick and they haven't been able to find a substitute?" he said.

"Free lesson. You know electives" Grace said. Jonas nodded understanding.

"Ah yeah the first week of 6 grade. You have a few free lessons then" he said. "So i know about Grace but what electives have you chosen?" he asked the others.

"Art, Literature/Creative writing and Gymnastics" Beth said.

"A i take Art and Literature/ Creative writing as well" Jonas said.

"Is it good?" Beth asked. Jonas nodded.

"Yeah its fun. In 7 Grade you can choose between Painting, Pottery and Photography in Art. Sometimes the Drama teacher chooses our writing from Literature/ Creative Writing for a school play" He said. Beth grinned from ear to ear. Jonas turned to the boys. "And what about you two?"

"Well i choose Introduction to world languages and Computer/IT" Jason said proud. Jonas nodded and turned to Ben.

"I choose Music and Woodshed class" Ben said.

"And what about school clubs?" Jonas asked.

"I wanna try out for Cheerleading and i hope to make the newspaper team" Beth said.

"Ah Cheerleading and Newspaper good. I am on the hockey Team as well as the Newspaper. I do the Sport column" Jonas said.

"I think i saw you there yesterday" Beth said.

"Yeah i was there shortly but i had to attend the Hockey tryout as well...my best friend Mason is the captain" Jonas said and turned to the boys again.

"Committee" Ben simply said. Jonas nodded.

"Well i made the Basketball team i was thinking of joining robotics as well" Jason said.

"Ah nice Basketball. So you meet Coach Hanson? Quite tough right?" Jonas said. Everyone except Beth nodded. "He is one of the PE Teachers and he coaches Basketball, Hockey and Rugby. The other Coach is Miss. Thompson she also coaches Cheer and Swimming" Jonas said.

"Any possibility that Coach Hanson and Nina Hanson are related?" Grace asked. Jonas nodded with a dreamy smile. Nina was tall blond 8 grader with big brown eyes. She was one of the popular students without being in any sport team or being a cheerleader. Everyone just liked her or at least so it seams.

"Ah Nina Hanson" he said with a sigh. Grace laughed at him.

"Does someone has a little crush?" she asked mocking him. He shot a glare at her.

"Shut up" he said annoyed. "And yes they are related. Coach Hanson is her Dad" he said. They nodded. "Well Nina is also in Drama and National Junior Honor Society" he said with that dreamy voice again.

"We get it you like her" Grace said annoyed. Jonas punched her lightly on the arm and they all laughed as the bell went off. They all gathered their things and went back inside. All four of them had Spanish now. After Spanish it was time for Grace's Choir audition and Beth's Cheerleading Tryout while Ben went home and Jason went to robotics club. The Boys wished them luck. Not many people were auditioning. There were a total of 6 students. The choir already contained a number of 12 Students. Grace was the third one to audition.

"Hello Grace. My name is Victoria Benson, Music and Drama Teacher. Are you by any chance related to Rachel Corcoran?" the teacher asked. Grace sighed annoyed.

"Yes i am. She is my Mom but please don't let that affect my audition. I have taken lessons in Dance, Acting and Singing since i can remember" Grace said.

"Okay glad to hear that. What will you be singing for us?" Miss. Benson asked.

"I know it is usually sung by a boy but i really like this song. I will be singing Giants in the Sky from Into the Woods" Grace said. The teacher nodded and Grace started. She sung flawlessly.

"You have an incredible voice. You are clearly your Mothers Daughter. You might be even better than her one day. Thank you." Miss. Benson said.

"Thank you" Grace said a little out of breath as the Teacher called the next forward. Grace sat down back in the the background. Some of the others were good...a few even matched herself.

"Okay thank you all for auditioning. I will hang out the full list tomorrow. Have a good day" Miss. Benson said and dismissed them. Grace met up with Beth and Jason at the front door.

"So how did it go?" Jason asked.

"Good i think. I just hope they take me for my Talent and not my Mama" Grace said.

"Don't worry. You are really talented" Jason said and. "So Beth how did it go for you?" he asked.

"Well...i learned the routine quite quick and i hardly missed a step so i think i have a fair shot" she said.

"Awesome. Robotics was great. They have so many awesome Robots in there" he said with a big smile as they walked outside. Quinn and Christine were already waiting for them. Jason said goodbye and got in the car with his mom. Grace and Beth went over to Quinn.

"Where is your Mom Grace" asked Beth.

"She's at work. My Nana picks me up. I've got ballet lessons at 5pm at my Nana's school" Grace said.

"School?" Beth asked confused.

"Yeah my Nana and her friend Cassie have a school together. They teach dance, Vocal and Acting from age 3 to 21. Cassie also works at NYADA where my Mama went to collage" Grace said as she looked around for Shelby. "There she is" she exclaimed happy as she saw Shelby getting out of a car.

"Hey Grace" Shelby said as she hugged and kissed her.

"Hey Nana Shelby" Grace said.

"Quinn Fabry nice to see you again" Shelby said and extend a Hand. Quinn shock it.

"Likewise Miss. Corcoran" Quinn said a bit unsure.

"And you must be Beth" Shelby addressed Beth.

"Yes Ma'am" Beth said politely.

"Well it was nice seeing you but we really should be going" Shelby said. They all said goodbye and Shelby drove Grace to ballet lesson.

I hope you like it.

I will probably do a bit more from Grace life as i think it would be a bit more interesting but don't worry i will switch it up from time to time.
