Here is chapter eight a longer chapter than the last one it gives more of a background to Maitreya's character. Thank you for the reviews they are much appreciated. Let me know what you guys think.
I don't own any characters associated with this story except my OC.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Maitreya asked as she pushed herself off the floor. "Wow, haven't seen you in months and that's how you say hello to your dear old mom. Well I see you have been keeping busy were you ever going to tell me about that." Maitreya scoffed as she brushed past her mom. "What do you want money, I mean that has always come down to it, oh and wanting to fuck my husband, yeah, yeah I mean that's been up there a lot." Mariette placed her hands on her hips. "Well as far as your husband goes, I needed to know if he was right for you, I mean can't have a guy go all soft if you know what I'm saying, but judging from what I see of you today, I doubt you have to worry about him going soft." Maitreya let a sly smiled slip. "You need to go, you are the absolute last thing daddy or Tig wants to see." Walking over Mariette sat in the chair and folded her hands over her stomach and stared at her daughter. "Better put the kettle on, because I'm not going anywhere."
After about an hour of waiting in the kitchen the silence was finally broken. "So does Tig still bring his work home with him?" Maitreya's eyes traveled slowly up at her mother as she cocked her head to the side. "From that expression I say yes he does. Maybe if he got more dinner, he wouldn't go looking for side dishes, you know what I'm saying don't you sweetheart?" "I really don't have to sit around and listen to this bullshit that you're fucking spitting out." Getting up fast she was able to grab her keys until Mariette grabbed her wrist. "Hey, hey I'm sorry, alright? If he makes you happy then I approve. How is you dad and that wife of his doing." Looking at her mother expressionless she walked back over to her chair. "Why the hell do you care, I mean growing up you always told me how awful he was or how awful she was, but then again you're the same way, that's the reason dad took me from you and I wounded up here." Mariette shook her head slowly. "Yeah you're right, I was a mess, and I was a mess when he met me. So it shouldn't have been such a damn surprise. But when you came to me a couple months back you're so broken hearted over Tig and how he wasn't faithful and how you wanted out of your marriage, I'm guessing from the results of you, you didn't take my advice." "Oh no, no I did I even drew up the papers, I just, I just couldn't go thought with it. Me and him, we've been through so much it made it almost impossible to pull the trigger." Mariette got up and grabbed a beer from the fridge, as Maitreya just stared at her. "What, its 5 o'clock somewhere. Just so you know, if you think that this baby will save your marriage, your wrong, I tried that with Clay and he found someone else. I just don't want to have to tell you I told you so." Mariette said as she took a swig from the bottle. "No asked you." Taking a seat across from her daughter she just stared at her. "So am I going to have to buy blue or pink?"
"You know the 7 at night, where is he, getting those side dishes I presume?" Maitreya bit her lip and tried like hell not to go off on her. "I can't believe you still here, you know most people get the hint and leave after the first hour but you, you still here, like a pesky fucking mosquito that doesn't go away." Just as Mariette was going to say something engine noises filled the room. "Stay in the kitchen." Maitreya walked out just as Tig walked in. "Hey, sorry I'm a little late you're never going believe what happened today." Smiling she embraced him with a hug. "I'm sorry." Tig looked at her with curiosity as Mariette entered the threshold of the room. "You know Tigger you could've asked my blessing before impregnating my daughter." Maitreya dragged Tig to the farthest room of the house as he slammed the door and turned to her. "I'm going to kill her, what the hell is she doing here, how fucking long has she been here?" Placing her hands on his chest she tried to calm him down. "Easy, one question at a time, one I don't know how long because I almost shot her as I came in the door." Tig chuckled. "I would have loved to see that." Maitreya placed a hand on her belly. "Two she won't tell me why she's here, just that she has a fascination with you, every two seconds it's how you're not good enough and something about side dishes, I don't know I had to contain myself from killing her." Tig cupped her face and kissed the top of her head. "Hey, I'm glad you didn't kill her, orange wouldn't look good on you second, only one of us should have a criminal record for the baby's sake and all." Giving him a quick peck on the lips she snuggled up tight next to him. "She wants to have dinner with us, you think you can contain yourself for at least a couple of hours." Tig nodded. "I'll be on my best behavior. You know I could always give her some vitamins and drop her off at the bus station." Maitreya smiled as she bit her lip slightly. "No, no coffee that is coated with tranquilizers okay, we'll get through this night and I'll reward you right after she leaves." Tig smiled as he kissed her passionately. "Sounds like a plan."
Mariette watched anxiously as Maitreya prepared dinner. "You know you could help instead of watching my every move mom." Mariette smiled as she started cutting up tomatoes for the salad. "I never really got the whole cooking thing I was more of take-out kinda person." Placing the freshly cut up lettuce in the bowl next her, Maitreya grabbed the cucumber and started to cut that up next. "Yeah I remember. Instead of having a nice dinner with your kid, you had with Neil, Tim, Kenny or any other guy you were able to give head for a couple hundred bucks then bring 'em back home." Mariette tossed in the tomatoes. "I need attention in certain areas, besides you were able to amuse yourself, that Joe kid, you guys would go off for hours I always thought you two would get married but . . ." "But what, before dad came to his senses and broke the door down and took me to Charming, California. Trust me it wasn't easy settling into a new place. But it must've come so easy for you, since every time I woke up you were never home." Mariette slammed the butcher knife on the cutting board. "Trust me sweetheart, kids were never in my playbook. I think your chicken is burning." Reacting fast she grabbed pan and slammed it on the stove causing Tig to appear as Mariette brushed past him. Walking over he started rubbing her back. "You okay, I can ask her to leave I don't want this stress to affect you or the baby." Leaning on the stove she shook her head lightly. "No I just wanna get through this. I'm sorry I burnt the chicken." Tig smiled as he gave her a kiss. "It's alright. I'll cut it up you finish with the salad. Just another hour or so and we'll probably never have to see her cause I'll dig a small grave and bury her in the woods somewhere." Causing her to chuckle she gave him hug. "That's not funny but thank you. Better get this to her before it dries up, wouldn't want her bitch about that."
"So babe how was work?" Tig took a sip of his beer before he answered. "Same shit, Clay and Gemma had a freak out. It got a little outta hand." "What happened? Maitreya asked taking a bite of chicken. "After what happened in the car accident she's been jumpy, so after getting the repo orders I came back and Clay was going after her, she was going to Caracara. . ." Mariette interrupted him. "I'm sorry but what the hell is Caracara?" "Porn set." Tig said without skipping a beat. This also caused Maitreya to close her eyes. "Anyway I arrived after following Clay and after having a marital fight with Gemma he then went on to throw a cinder block threw Gemma's car window. The doctor ran in to get Jax. By the time Jax came Clay was pounding his fists on her car, they got into another fight, to the point where he grabbed her and she freaked out." "I don't understand what is going on with her. Maybe I should give in and go shopping with her maybe I can get her to open up about what happened." Mariette took a sip of wine. "So Tig you work at a porn studio?" Tig chuckled. "No Mariette I don't, it's complicated." Mariette drank the rest of her wine and poured more into the goblet. "Well enough of the work thing, we need to get down to serious business, so with the baby coming soon I want to buy you guys something. Any plans where he or she will sleep." "Well Mariette we have a couple of rooms to choose from also you don't have to buy anything I'm pretty sure Maitreya and I can cover the baby's expenses." Mariette took a sip from her wine goblet. "Well I'm just trying to be a good grandmother I mean isn't this what grandmother's do, I'm sure Gemma's already bought half of Petit Trésor." Mariette said as she downed the rest of her wine and poured more into the empty goblet. "Petit Trésor?" Tig asked. "It's a baby store Gemma took me too, how did you know about Petit Trésor?" "I've been seeing someone and he told me about it, maybe if you asked me . . ." "I have been asking you why you have been here but won't tell me." Tig intervened. "Okay, relax everyone. Now Mariette, why are you here?" Taking another sip of her goblet she let it rest on the table. "Well I have been seeing a guy and he invited me out here. He's a great guy. He says he knows about you Tig personally." Tig eyed Mariette vigorously. "Who have you been seeing?" Mariette smiled as she sipped the rest of her wine. "Hale. Deputy chief David Hale." Maitreya closed her eyes as she knew Tig had just grown uneasy. "Mariette that is uh, that's . . . Where did you meet him?" Tig asked. "A mutual friend. So what's for dessert?"
"She needs to get outta town before it gets around that your mother is dating the one person that could send me, your brother, your father and the rest of the damn club to jail." Tig said in harsh whisper. "You don't think I know that, you don't think I have your best interests at heart. I would do anything for you." Tig kissed the top of her head. "I know I'm sorry just with Hale literally thrown into the family mix, probably not the best time for her to be here." Mariette walked in with her empty glass. "So where can I crash for the night?" Tig clenched his jaw as he continued to load the dishwasher, rubbing his back to try and calm him Maitreya walked over to her mother with a smile. "You're staying the night?" Holding her glass up she chuckled. "Well sweetheart I have had literally too much to drink and I hope you don't mind." "Not at all Mariette." Tig said not facing her. "Tig and I will finish up here if you want to relax in the living room." Mariette smiled as she exited the kitchen. Walking over she leaned on counter. "What room doesn't have a fire arm hidden in?" Tig tossed the hand towel on the cooled off stove. "The room upstairs right next to ours, I was still hoping to have some fun but I guess that's not going to happen." "Well it's not like I wanted her to stay, is it possible you could move the guns from the room next to the washer and dryer?" Tig rubbed the back of his neck. "The AKs are in there I could rip up the loose floor board hide them in there. Alright just show her the room next to ours say it's going to be the babies room tell here where you want to put the crib, changing table alright. It'll take me 10 minutes tops to move the guns." Maitreya kissed him quickly as she walked quickly into the living room. Walking into the empty room Mariette stumbled around. "Kinda big don't you think, I mean you are just having one baby right?" Maitreya rolled her eyes as she leaned against the wall. "I'm so glad I've missed these drunken talks. Yes mother I'm only having one baby." Mariette stumbled again and caught herself. "Well I don't want the kid to be spoiled I mean look at this space?" "Alright mom it will get filled once the crib and everything gets picked out. Once we find out what we are having Tig will paint it and will look really nice." Tig appeared and gave a nod indicating the guns were moved. "Mariette let's get you down stairs the room is all set up I'm tired I'm sure she's tired and you, you could sleep off that Mouton Cadet." Mariette giggled as Tig helped her down to the bedroom.
"Drunkie asleep?" Tig nodded as he walked over and hugged her. "You alright, when was the last time you saw her like that?" Maitreya pinned her hair up and quick pony tail. "Long time, good example why I don't want the baby around someone like that, so ready to have some fun?" Tig smiled as he kissed her passionately. "You sure, we don't have to if you're not up to it." Maitreya smiled as she brought Tig light down on top of her. "Oh no I'm very much up to it." Closing her eyes she started to engulf him in rough kisses as she searched for his belt buckle. Once unclasped the night was filled heavy breathing and loud moaning. Morning light filled the bedroom as Maitreya looked over and noticed Tig still fast asleep. "Alex, Alex, hey you have blood run for the Children's Hospital." Tig looked over and smiled up at his wife. "I love you, last night was, well it was worth the wait." Maitreya chuckled. "I should call Gemma, see if she wants to get together." Tig got up and started to get dressed. "Yeah, it'll keep you outta the house and away from . . ." Maitreya closed her eyes. "I forgot she was here." Walking down Mariette had helped herself to some breakfast. "Morning, you look exceptionally well slept you Tig sleep together?" "MOM, really?" Maitreya walked over and poured herself a cup of coffee. "I thought coffee was bad for the baby?" Maitreya cocked her head and looked at her mom. "I'm fine, the baby is fine and Tig's fine we are all fine." Tig walked in and noticed Mariette. "Hey I'm afraid I have to go but it was good to see you." Mariette hugged Tig back. "You too Tigger you keep my daughter safe and sound and will always protect this little one?" Tig chuckled. "Always do, alright Treya I have to go, I'll tell Gemma you'll give her a call." Maitreya nodded as she gave him a quick kiss. "Be safe." "Always." Tig yelled as he left the house. After a couple of long hours of silence Mariette grabbed her keys. "Well next time I'll call before just stopping by." Maitreya smiled as she gave her mom a slight hug. "Bye mom, I'll tell dad you stopped by." Mariette scoffed as she got in her car. "Yeah I bet, he'll love to hear that I stopped by. Let me know what you're having, okay." Maitreya nodded as she watched her pull out of the drive way and down the road.
Walking back into the house she phone started to ring. "Gemma, hey." "Hey heard the coke whore was back in town how did that go?" Maitreya smirked as she relaxed in the overstuffed couch in the living room. "I'm just glad she's gone, I honestly thought that Tig was going to literally kill her last night." "I'm surprised he never liked Mariette, hell I never liked that crazy whore." Maitreya gave a small chuckled. "Yeah, but did you still wanna get together maybe go shopping for the baby?" Maitreya sat and waited in silence. "Gemma are you still there?" Another pause. "Yeah, baby I can't do it today, something has been brought to my attention and I can't I'm sorry." Maitreya clenched her jaw okay, well just call me later I'll be around . . ." Before Maitreya could finish Gemma had ended the call. After tossing her phone on the coffee table it started to vibrate again. Picking it up she saw the name BOBBY flash. "Bobby, everything alright?" "No, something happened." Maitreya sat slowly down. "What?" "Tig dumped his bike."
