This chapter is PG-13 for mature subjects and some language.
Beth was in the upstairs bathroom fixing her makeup. Jacob came into the restroom and stood on the step stool next to his mother.
"What are you doing Mommy?" Jacob asked.
"I'm putting on makeup," Beth said. "It makes me look pretty."
"But you're already beautiful," Jacob said.
"You're so sweet," Beth said.
The doorbell began to ring.
"That's your Aunt Sophia," Beth said. "Can you get the door?"
"Yes," Jacob said.
Jacob began to run.
"Walk please," Beth said.
Jacob walked downstairs and opened the door. Sophia walked into the house and picked up Jacob.
"Hey there little nephew," Sophia said.
"I'm so happy you're babysitting me Aunt Sophia," Jacob said. "We can catch more Pokémon!"
"Can't wait," Sophia said sitting Jacob down on the couch. "Now you stay here while I talk to your mother."
"Okay," Jacob said.
Sophia walked upstairs to the bathroom where Beth was putting on lipstick.
"Hey there sis," Sophia said.
"Hey," Beth said. "Thank you so much for agreeing to watch Jacob."
"You're welcome," Sophia said. "So where are you and Chuck going on your date."
"We're going to a movie and then we're going to dinner," Beth replied.
"No sex?" Sophia asked.
"No," Beth said. "No sex. Chuck and I are taking things slow."
Later that night, Chuck and Beth were lying down in each other's arms under the covers of Chuck's bed.
"That was amazing," Beth said.
"4 years in way too long," Chuck said.
"I agree," Beth said. "Wow."
"Want to do that again?" Chuck asked.
"I really need to get home," Beth said. "Sophia is watching after Jacob and it's almost midnight."
"Okay," Chuck said.
"Oh Sophia can wait," Beth said.
Chuck began kissing Beth's neck.
Beth arrived home at 1:30 and walked in through the front door. Sophia was asleep on the living room couch.
"Sophia," Beth said. "I'm back."
Sophia woke up.
"What time is it?" Sophia asked groggily.
"It's 1:30," Beth replied. "The movie ran kind of long."
"Is that a hickey?" Sophia asked pointing at Beth's neck.
"No," Beth lied.
"Unbelievable," Sophia said getting up.
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Beth asked.
"You're leading Chuck on once again," Sophia said.
"I am not," Beth said.
"Yes you are," Sophia said.
"I love Chuck," Beth said.
"Bullshit!" Sophia shouted.
"Since when are you such a bitch?" Beth asked.
"You only care about yourself and what you want!" Sophia shouted. "You never think of anyone else! Did you ever consider Chuck's feelings when you broke up with him simply because he wouldn't have sex with you?"
"That was 6 years ago!" Beth shouted.
"And you can't possibly tell me you were thinking about Chuck's feelings when you broke him a Lily up!" Sophia shouted.
"You need to shut up!" Beth shouted.
"And then you went and broke his heart again!" Sophia shouted.
"The breakup was mutual!" Beth shouted.
"Bullshit!" Sophia shouted.
"Quit saying that word!" Beth shouted.
"Then you kept his son a secret from him!" Sophia shouted.
"That is none of your business!" Beth shouted.
"Jacob is my nephew!" Sophia shouted. "You kept my nephew a secret from me! You're my sister and my best friend and you lied to me! I have never kept a secret from you ever!"
"I'm sorry," Beth said.
"I don't want to hear it!' Sophia shouted.
Sophia ran out the door and slammed it. Beth sat down on the stairs and began to cry.
Jacob came downstairs and sat next to his mother.
"Are you okay Mommy?" Jacob asked.
"I'm fine Jacob," Beth said. "Go back to bed."
"Please don't cry to me Mommy," Jacob said. "It makes me really sad when you cry."
"Come here baby," Beth said.
Beth held Jacob in her arms.
"I love you Mommy," Jacob said.
"I love you too," Beth said.
