Chapter 14
Sorry for the long wait, but I had some Internet problems then the job followed next.
It's a little short but here it is, enjoy!
Later that night, Steffy and Liam were lounging on their couch after having had dinner. After the disastrous start of the day they had, they had chosen to stay at home; work would have to wait another day.
"Hmm. A day of relaxation is nice."
"Yeah tell me about it," Liam said, smiling, "and we were supposed to get back to work today."
"You'll be excused: Bill can't refuse you anything because you got married. It's me that will get a talking to."
"You're the boss' granddaughter; he can't do anything to you."
"Rick finally got the power he's always wanted, he won't spare me, especially after learning that we got married and his sister is unhappy."
"If he gives you a hard time, call me and I'll take care of him alright?" Steffy laughed at that. "I'm serious!"
"I know you are. But I can handle Rick, he's not a problem. It's Hope and her mother I'm worried about. Don't get me wrong, I can take them any day but things are different now; there's the baby to consider."
Liam came to a decision then. He knew his wife wasn't going to like it but it had to be done. "I'll go talk to Hope, straighten things out."
"You sure that's a good idea?"
"I don't know but it has to be done. I told you my voicemail was full, right? Well, it was mostly from her leaving messages about us needing to talk. I don't know what it could be about but after this morning, I want things to be clear."
"She won't like it."
"I'm not asking her to like it but I expect her to respect my wife and what we have."
"In any other day I would have told you to go for it: she has to hear it from you but as you said, her surprised visit made it impossible for any peace talking to take place."
He sighed, knowing she had a point. "We'll have to try anyway."
"Well, good luck with. You're gonna need it."
"Thanks." His answer came out as sarcastic as her comment.
