"You told Dad?!"
Gracie collapses down in shock, curls into the fetal position on her bed. "Kill me now. Just get it over with."
"I had to, honey. I can’t decide this on my own. Your father and I absolutely have to make a decision this important together."
Gracie eventually sits up, hugs her knees to her chest, asking meekly, "Did he totally flip out?"
Liz sits at the end of the bed, nervously adjusting her glasses. "He’s pretty upset, yes."
Gracie hides her face in her hands, lets out a breath.
Liz instinctively wants to grab her, hug her, but stops herself. "Gracie…this is really hard for us. Especially for your Dad. You need to give him time."
"Lane’s gonna have to go into witness protection."
"I wouldn’t go that far. I wouldn’t bring him over here anytime soon, though."
"What a mess. I wish I never even asked you."
"No, honey, you absolutely did the right thing. Really, you did...which is why we're letting you go on birth control."
Snapping back to full attention: "Say what?"
"Your father and I both agree; it's the safest thing to do. I made an appointment for you next week with my gynecologist."
"Are you serious?"
"I thought that’s what you wanted."
"Yeah, but..."
"But what? You’re having sex, Gracie; you have to use protection. More than one kind, preferably."
"…I know."
"Do you? You’ve been jeopardizing your entire future here. What if you’re already pregnant?"
"I’m not pregnant," she scoffs.
"Nothing’s ever 100%--"
"We haven’t had sex!" Gracie yelps, finally cutting her off.
"You haven’t?"
Gracie shakes her head. "We - well, I’m - not ready yet. I just want to be prepared…
when I am."
No longer holding back, Liz hugs her with all of her might. "Oh, God, what a relief."
