Hey guys, this chapter is my attempt at a little humor so I'm looking forward to my "Wheaties" keep 'em coming! Help me get right!

"Ah yes, here she is go down that hallway and take a left she'll be in the first room on your left."
"Thank you." You'd think I'd said her cat was ran over my a Mac truck the way she looked at me, does no one say thank you these days, Jesus!
I went inside the room first while the doctor spoke with Ashley.
"Oh hey Kyla, honey we're here." My sister-in-law looked like she had taken bowling balls to her face and arms, and then rolled around in black and blue powder. She had bruises, cuts and scrapes everywhere!
Ashley walked in the room quietly and stood by the door. I was much better at the nurturing thing than my wife, but any fool could see she was just as concerned and scared as I was when she saw Kyla. She had tears streaming down her face that only I saw. I loved her sensitivity, although on the surface it tends to come off as sheer terrifying anger. She moved closer to where we were almost at glacial speed.
"Leah, where is Ashley?" Her voice sounded of fallen angels, broken and weak.
"I'm here, K.D. I'm here." Ashley said caressing Kyla's left hand, I was on the other side tending to the needs of the right.
"Is my baby okay, where is my baby?" She asked, that maternal instinct was kicking in. Go mommy Kyla!
"Yes the baby was delivered successfully and is beautiful, right here." She smiled wiping a tear, her sensitivity was sexy.
"Is it a girl or a boy?"
"She has your eyes and Aiden's nose. It look's like your daughter will be Leah's namesake after all."
A smile came across her face. "I knew it was a girl, I've always loved the name Leah, but Aiden-oh my God, where's Aiden, is he okay?" she panicked.
"Hey, hey, hey, calm down Aiden is fine he's getting fitted for some casts, he broke his left arm and leg," Ashley took a deep breath and sat it the chair next to the bed. "The doctor told me if your seat would've have been partially reclined you wouldn't be a new mommy right now."
"That was Aiden's idea he thought something might happen he wanted me to be laying down, but I didn't so he just leaned the seat back." She cried.
"Your husband, dare I say it, is a genius." Ashley jested.
"Ashley." I huffed, she makes me this way I swear.
"Ashley's a bitch Leah; we all know we can always count on her to be her bitchy self." Kyla chuckled, that's all her IV's and tubes could let her do, because Kyla was a regular hyena.
I hated hospitals, they're so freaking sterile with tubes and sick people everywhere, icky!
"I'm actually glad you're making jokes, because you look like you've been hit in the face with a pile of bricks by death himself, but this means you're actually going to be okay." Was that a hint of relief in her voice? I'd get her to admit it later, now would be inappropriate.
"Kyla honey, I'm so sorry. I should've listened to you… I'm so sorry I should've listened to you." Aiden said as he rushed….well technically he walked really slowly so 'rushed' would also be inappropriate to say. Anyway he was in the room.
"Hold your horses buddy! Do not go feelin' sorry for yourself your baby's life." I informed him because I'm a good person unlike my mean ass wife… Who I love dearly.
Aiden looked so remorseful and it honestly broke my heart. I could only imagine how Ashley was feeling, I mean she hated him. Don't get me wrong she hid it from Kyla and everything, but she would call him everything but a human being when she wasn't around. It was kind of funny, but that's a secret between you and me.
"Yeah honey, it's fine have you seen our daughter?" she smiled. Seeing Aiden must have instantaneously boosted her immune system because at this point she was sitting up and grinning like a school girl.
"Yes baby, she's beautiful just like her momma." He smiled.
"Jesus Christ Aiden, it sounds like you've been hanging around my wife. You got this whole southern drawl thing going on!" Fuck your sarcasm Ashley Davies!
Her sarcasm is so sexy, she is so damn sexy. Don't judge me, okay I like bitchy women!
"Yeah, she has rubbed off on me a little bit, but that's okay, any woman that can tame Ashley Davies is welcomed in my presence." He winked.
Which happened to be something I couldn't do; honestly who teaches people how to wink anyway?
So here's the scoop, Aiden and Kyla Dennison had been married roughly about two years. They had some strange drama that involved some girl name Ashleigh before they got married and they postponed there wedding and they're relationship for that matter. However, as you can see they got back on track. It seems to me like I married into a family full of secrets and drama. It's like their lives were a TV show and I was still trying to figure out where I fit in and what my motivation was.
Stroke of genius!!!!!!
"Hey guys…after you get out of here, why don't you come and stay at our house for a while until you get better? That way we can help y'all out with the baby." Brilliant idea if I can toot my own horn. Toot, toot!
"That sounds like a great idea, we'll be right back" Ashley yanked me hard out into the hall, almost taking out a nurse. "Uh…Leah what the hell are you doing?"
"What? You're supposed to take care of family when they need it, especially if there are children involved, Ashley honey, you know how they feel about that." The huffiness was back.
"Leah I know that's what you're used to back home, but baby this is L.A. okay? You don't take care of family when you can hire people to do it for you." She smiled.
"I know you're playing with me, besides…I know what the real issue is here Ashley 'fucking' Davies…You want to make sure we can still have loud passionate sex with them staying there." I said pulling her closer to me.
"You haven't called me that in a while, i like it. Is it that obvious?" she smiled sliding her hands further down my curvy hips.
"Only to your wife and I just so happen to be her! So this is how it's going to go, they will stay on the first floor of the house and we'll have the entire second floor to ourselves. Is that okay? I guess this is where two kitchens come in handy, huh?"
"Yes ma'am, I knew I married you and bought a house with two kitchens for a reason" Her lips were pressed hard on mine at this point. Talk about opening the flood gates. If Ashley Davies couldn't do anything else right she was definitely a well-skilled kisser. It always turned me on..
"Ahem...uh guys, Kyla and I need to tell you all something." Aiden said from the door.
I could imagine Ashley running up to the door and smashing it on his neck. Or maybe it was the glare on her face that gave her intentions away.
"Hey guys…Umm I think that you better sit down Ashley."
"Why did someone die or something?" she asked.
"No, that's not it, at all. We bought a house, that's what we were coming to tell you when I went into labor, and a few other things." Kyla spilled.
"Another house, jeez Aiden it must have taken you three years to sell enough blow for two houses."
"ASHLEY! Inappropriate much?" I huffed, once again.
"What I thought it was funny? So where are you moving to San Francisco, Reno I know that you guys were talking about that for a while…so where are you moving to?
"Ha-ha, laugh ii up now, Ash. You won't when you see it." He said as he cradled his new born daughter in his good arm.
"We bought a 5.2 million dollar home in the Ox Bottom district. Ashley, please don't flip!" Kyla smiled at me and I knew. I was instantly overjoyed and released a sorority girl squeal as Ashley was left clueless.
Ox Bottom was in my home town that was filled with million dollar homes away from big city life but not so much that you couldn't get Starbucks coffee. I took Kyla there one time and I guess she fell in love with it. I mean Tallahassee is small compared to LA, but it has a little of everything LA has, with the exception of paparazzi on every major street in the city.
"We're moving to Tallahassee!" she screamed.
"WHAT?!" Ashley's support was clearly absent.
"Yeah there's more…Kyla booked us flights to Florida for next week." Aiden added. He was a smart man not to lock eyes with his sister-in-law upon completion of those words.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Ashley was now pissed and I was elated. "We're going back to that place, for how long?!"
"Until we get things settled, our stuff has already begun being shipped out to Florida, so about a month." Aiden proudly noted.
"Tell me you're joking." Ashley said stone faced.
"Nope." Kyla beamed and I rushed over to give her and Aiden a congratulatory hug.
Ashley sunk down in her chair, realizing the battle she was losing.
"Oh and Ash, try and be nice Madison is coming with us." Kyla slid that one in perfectly, I didn't even see that one coming.
"No freaking way dude, I'm so not going!" she huffed
"Honey, you know she's the best interior decorator in the country." I added.
"God hates me, he honestly hates me!"
Author Notes:
