Chapter 25- Aunt Elaine
I arrived home exhausted wanting to just collapse into bed. Happy was trailing behind me, we hadn't spoken much since he got back, I think he knew something was up with me. I was just tired of him making sacrifices for the club without even considering me or our child. I was too preoccupied with my thoughts and him watching me that we didn't notice the car parked not far down the street from our house. The kitchen lights were on, Tanya must be waiting up for me. I unlocked the door and walked inside, Happy closed the door behind me.
"Tanya, you still up are you?" I called out walking into the kitchen
I froze at the sight of Tanya sitting at the table with my Aunt sitting across from her. When I said she would visit I didn't expect it to be so soon or without any warning.
"Elaine, what are you doing here?" I asked stunned at her sudden appearance
"I came to congratulate you in person" she said glancing down at my stomach
"Okay" I replied still shocked
"How about a hug for your Aunt" she said
"Of course" I muttered as she pulled me into a somewhat reluctant hug
Happy was standing behind us, he had been watching the whole exchange and was no doubt annoyed at my Aunt turning up unannounced. He stepped forward and offered his hand.
"Happy Lowman" he said
"Elaine Fields, Layla's Aunt" she said, she looked him up and down a horrified look flashes across her face before a fake smile plastered it.
"I'll take you to the other spare room Ms Fields" said Tanya, obviously sensing my discomfort around this woman
Tanya led Elaine to the empty spare room while I walked to our bedroom, Happy following behind.
"Did you know she was coming?" he asked as I changed into my pajamas
"No, she sent me a letter congratulating me, I knew she would visit but I didn't think it would be this soon" I said climbing into bed
"She doesn't seem to like Tanya" he said while changing
"Uh perceptive one aren't you. No although she was smiling on the outside she was really thinking, 'that skank had another demon spawn'" I explained
"Didn't like your mother?" He asked, getting into bed
"No, she didn't really like me either, she was alright when I was older. I was close with her daughter Marissa, she was a year older than me. After my dad died and I fell off the rails her dislike grew. She thought Loretta should through me out of the house, she was convinced that I was just like my mother and would poison Roxy" I said
"I'm sorry" he said softly
"It's okay, she's just stuck up that's all. Don't worry about her. She won't be here very long, she hates small towns" I said before turning of the lights
I cuddled into Happy's side, to tired to do anything else, and let sleep take over.
