Chapter 49- The Phone Call

I paced around my room, phone in hand. I had been trying to decide what to say to Kane, we left things off badly and I knew we had unfinished business, but this was our daughters life we were dealing with. I finally plucked up enough courage to call him.

"Hello" he said

"Ah, Kane, it's Layla" I said

"Layla, as in Layla Allen" he said

"Yeah that's me" I said, trying to laugh but it came out strangled, too forced

"Layla, it's a surprise hearing from you, how are you going?" He said

"Listen I'm just calling to let you know that Mr and Mrs Thorne showed up, Callie needs a kidney transplant and they wanted to see if either of us was a match" I said, wanting to end the small talk

"Sure, I'll come down to be tested, where are you?" He asked

"Uh, Charming, it's not that far from L.A." I said

"I'm living in Sacramento now, we moved here to look after Tallie's mother" he said

"Of course, well I guess I'll see you in a few days" I said

"Yeah, see you then" he said before hanging up

"Tallie" I whispered

Tallie was my best friend growing up, her, me, Kane and Josh were always close growing up, I had known them my entire life. I had never really noticed that she liked Kane until afterwards. Everyone had always suspected Kane and me to end up together, Tallie never factored into that equation. It was only later on that I saw that she had been in love with Kane the entire time we were together. After we had broken up I couldn't stand to be around him, and unfortunately that meant I didn't see Tallie or Josh much. Only a month after we had broken up Tallie had started dating Kane. At first I was angry but then I realized that I didn't really care, seeing how I wasn't in love with Kane anymore, it didn't mean that the betrayal hadn't hurt, she had stabbed me in the back and had never shown any remorse for it.

And now they were coming to Charming, there was no doubt that he wouldn't bring her and their kids, show me how great their life is now. In truth they didn't have much that I didn't, I had a great career, loving husband, a child with another on the way. Granted they didn't have to constantly worry about whether the other would end up in jail or dead, but other than that my life was pretty great.

The only thing I was worried about was Happy. The ex meeting the boyfriend was never good, especially with two alpha males. Kane would no doubt share his opinion of Happy, as would Tallie, not that I wanted to her it. But Happy would just have to be nice seeing as they were kind of family.

I had stopped pacing when I heard a motorbike pull into the driveway, I walked down stairs and was greeted by Happy. He looked worried, I knew things with the club were getting complicated.

"Hap, are you okay?" I asked concerned

"I'm fine, how are you and my son doing?" He asked, rubbing his thumb over my barely showing stomach

"You know you shouldn't get so excited, what if it's a girl" I said mockingly

"It's a boy, I know" he said pulling me closer to him

"Happy there's something I need to tell you" I said

Happy pushed me away slightly, and looked at me worried about what I was about to say.

"Earlier today a couple visited me, the couple that adopted my daughter. She needs a kidney transplant and they wanted to see if I was a match" I said nervously

"Are you a match?" He asked

"I'm taking the test tommorow" I said

"Okay then" he said

"Thats not all" I said, even more nervous than before

"What else is there?" He asked distracted by running his hand up and down my arm

"I had to call her father to get him tested too, he's coming go Charming" I said

Happy stopped stroking my arm, instead holding it tightly at the mention of my ex. He stared into me eyes possessively. After a while he broke the stare and nodded, walking away from me and into Izzy's room where she was sleeping. I stared after him, wondering what he thought of the sudden arrival of my ex. Lets hope everything runs smoothly, God we didn't need any more trouble.
