Too Much Fun equals a big fight
Calleigh was glad that Alexx had wanted to take Chloe with her and her family to Sea World. She and Eric were arguing all Saturday. Why? Well, Eric had gone to his sister's fiancé's bachelor party. That in itself Calleigh didn't care about. She wasn't threatened by strippers. But she had asked not to get too drunk because on Saturday night Calleigh's aunt Roberta, or "Aunt B" who she hadn't seen in years was coming to visit. It was the first time she would meet Eric. Him sleeping off a hangover was going to make a bad, bad first impression.
Despite the fact he promised wouldn't, it was the first time Eric had drank since Chloe was an infant. In short, he came home drunk off his feet, almost literally, considering the fact his father Pavel had to practically carry him into the house from the car. To say Calleigh was pissed off was an understatement. It hadn't take long for Eric to sober up and he wasn't the kind to get ill, however, he had a busting headache on Saturday evening. He was not in the mood to fight with Calleigh over the previous night but the two fought most of the Saturday.
Calleigh's aunt told her not to give Eric such a hard time over "something so stupid." It wasn't like Eric had committed murder.
Calleigh hadn't been prepared for a strong lecture from her southern aunt.
"I've spoken to the guy on the phone. I know he doesn't do this regularly. I did come on short notice when there was an event planned. Get over it, girl. I'll be here a few weeks. I'll see him not hung over. And please, don't bring that cute lil' one home until this snapping stops."
"But I told him-" Calleigh started to defend.
"Oh get off it, girl! I don't care what you told him! I know what I'm talking about! The man's young, has a demanding, stressful job, not that you don't have that, but you told me yourself he's a good family man and hasn't been out with the guys in a long time. Cut the guy some slack.
"Now, when you're ready to admit I'm right, go apologize to the guy and bring him some aspirin. I'm sure my bawling made his head worse."
"Yes, ma'am," Calleigh replied.
Apologies would go both ways when Calleigh and Eric talked later, after he took a nap and most of his headache had subsided.
