Boy that Gramps sure is a no nonsense kind of guy when he gets his head out of the clouds, isn't he? Great chapter.

You are so prolific. I look away for a short time, and come back to chapter 10 of a new story. Wow! You're very impressive, and I'm sure I've told you this before.

Thanks for the interesting read.

Regards, anabelle

"She may be here when we get back. . .

Good chapter, full of action. I look forward to when everyone learns Nick and the baby aren't human.

    Wierdgrace, I'm glad you are working. This is not the news I wanted, dear friend. You can always talk with me by PM, and I then would send to you the best way to reach me. God bless!

Bonnie has told Gramps about her pregnancy. He has taken her to town where Sara will check her and deliver her baby in time. The town sounds friendly and helpful.

wierdgrace,

I have read this chapter and have given editing suggestions below:

There were no doctor in the town
There was no doctor in the town

Gramps was up before her, had his one shirt, and suit on and all clean, his hair plastered down.
Gramps was up before her, was all cleaned up, had his one shirt and suit on, and had his hair plastered down.

There people were not ones to gossip, they just took news with a solid main thought, what was to be happened. No gossip.
Their people did not gossip, they just listened to the news, and determined what would happen.

Her old car was gone, the door open and a big pot of tea was on a warming burner

There were no doctor in the town - There was no doctor or There were no doctors...
stop at Sara's. I want her to check her out. I added the period after Sara's.
"Could just be tourists." Hank said. Replace the period after tourists with a comma.
You describe your characters and this small town in good detail - it is easy to imagine just how simple life is here.
Good dialogue, too. Brooke
