The one mindset Grace had always tried to keep through motherhood was to always keep an open mind, and always listen before talking. That's what she'd done when Isabelle had called her in tears during her freshman year of high school to let her know what had happened with her very first boyfriend. That was the same thing she'd done when Mikayla had come home a different person the summer after her own freshman year. And now, that was what she'd done as her eldest daughter had announced her pregnancy. Those three situations were very different, but in all cases, she knew she would have been a lot less helpful if she'd tried to get on their case for making mistakes here and there rather than nurturing them, showing them her love and then trying to help them get past it so that the same thing wouldn't happen again. Granted, a case like this one was different - she was hopeful to get many grandbabies, but she hoped Izzy would be through with her higher education schooling before she had another child, and hopefully Mikayla as well. She could very well be one of those mothers who tried to shove the idea of abstinence down her children's throats, but really, it was a matter of a personal choice, and everyone had to make their own mistakes and discoveries. Both her daughters had done that with their first sexual encounters, but that had been more based on a lack of juddgement towards the other person's character. Now they both had lovely young men whom she very much approved of. "No problem darling," she assured her once more, smiling though when she went on to add she would ask Miki to be godmother. "I'm sure she'll be very happy and excited about that," she added with a soft laugh, nodding a bit when she added she was glad she'd told her and it'd taken a weight off her shoulders. "I'm glad sweetie. I love you too, and I can't wait to hear more about this little one once you find out more."
