A/N: I was originally going to try and redeem Jenna but that wouldn't have been realistic. Jenna's a bigot and she has an obsession with perfection that's just not going to change. Jenna's not going to change from how I made her in this story she's going to be an evil character (Hint: much like Barbra Jones.) and there's no amount of repenting that's going to change that. Nor is her relationship with Emily and Katie but I think in some ways Emily and Katie can learn to heal and accept the pain their mother caused in them as well as heal from themselves and even in a way learn to accept their mother but we'll see when it comes to that.

Chapter Twenty: Dealings with the Devil (Jenna's POV)

Sunday at 4:16 PM

The car ride to take her daughters home had been filled with the same uneasy silence that they had sat in on the way to the French restaurant in London and it was beginning to make Jenna slowly lose her damn mind. Emily was being caustic and rude and Jenna was beginning to get annoyed by it. Katie being the sweetheart that was had tried to get Emily to make peace and let things be but it was useless; Emily was sticking to being the spoiled brat she was by badgering on about Jenna being a selfish bitch for wanting her and Katie to be at her wedding but Jenna didn't think she was doing anything wrong and she wasn't about to apologize for it either. Was it so wrong to want her daughters at her wedding? Katie didn't seem to think so but Emily did and Jenna had given up on understanding her younger daughter a long time ago.

"Emily, if you have nothing nice to say then shut your mouth." Jenna said sternly, growing tired of Emily's misplaced anger. Emily only growled in response but she did what she was told and Jenna turned her attention back to driving the car.

Jenna couldn't help but to be horrified at her daughter's attitude was this how Robert was raising her daughter's to be? If it was she had some real considering to do. Maybe leaving wasn't such a good idea; it seemed her daughter's need a female hand in their lives. Even her sweet Katie had a roughness about her that hadn't been there when Jenna had lived at home. It also seemed that Robert still allowed Emily's inappropriate habits to go on If Emily's wardrobe was anything to by (It screamed Dyke).

Jenna still believed that Emily's lifestyle chooses were extremely wrong. Didn't Emily realize that she was throwing away her right to marry, her right to bear children, to grow a family and raise her own daughters like she had raised them with all the life lessons that she had learned in her life? Didn't Emily see that being gay was wrong? It just wasn't part of god's plan; it wasn't natural and Jenna just couldn't accept having given birth to an abnormal child, it wasn't an opinion.

Jenna stopped her car in front of Robert's new house; giving it another critical look: It was a town house (Acceptable), it had three bedrooms if the windows where anything to go by (Also deemed worthy: the twins needed to share a room) but none of those things gritted Jenna's nerves: it was its utter disarray. There were no plants out in the front to invite welcome, there was no expensive car that sat out front to show respectable people lived there (Just Robert's old beaten down car from his days in college; which Jenna always used to hide in the garage), nor was there any sense of perfection about it. It was just being and Jenna didn't understand it. How could someone live life just being?

Emily jumped out of the car and said with a sarcastic tone (that made Jenna want to rip her tongue out), "Nice seeing you, mum we should do it again." And with one last hard look at her mother, she slammed the door. Katie didn't get out with her sister and Jenna was thankful that at least one of her daughter's still had her manners. Still making me happy Jenna thought with a smug grin.

Katie gave her a polite look before saying, "She's just having a hard day." Jenna highly doubted that, Emily just didn't have any manners. "Its fine, sweetheart. I'm sure she'll be fine on Thursday when I pick you girls up again." Katie looked a little uneasy by that and for a minute, Jenna was disappointed that Katie was letting Emily's sour behavior affect her but then Katie smiled and said "Can't wait."

Good girl! Jenna smiled and said "I'll see you then." And with one last polite smile, Katie exited the car and unlike her sister she didn't slam the door which pleased Jenna greatly.

Jenna watched her daughter make her way back up the driveway before she pulled out her phone to dial Patrick's number. He picked up almost instantly, "Hello, Jenna How'd it go?" Patrick asked curiously.

"As you would expect it too." Jenna groaned; thinking of Emily's heathen behavior. That girl was just trouble waiting to happen! Jenna thought with a roll of her eyes, "Emily was being her usually bratty self but it's good I think Katie will convince her to go to the wedding."

Jenna didn't have to see Patrick to know he was nodding in agreement, "Yeah, My talk with Naomi won't be a walk in the park either." Patrick paused briefly before adding, "I'm not really looking forward to it." Patrick had a wimpy tone of voice that made Jenna want to slap him.

"We made a deal, Patrick." Jenna said with a warning kind of tone of voice He wasn't backing out now! "We agreed that If Gina ever called and gave you the green light. We'd contact our children and invite them to the wedding. I held up my end of the bargain, Patrick and I expect you to do the same."

Patrick sighed defiantly but was complicate in his answer, "I'll do it, Jenna." Patrick said timidly "Don't worry."

"Good, get it done." Jenna snapped, closing her phone. Why was she surrounded by incompetent jerk off's? Jenna guessed she'd never know but if one thing was certain she would correct them if needing. She just hoped that Patrick (or Emily) wouldn't need it.

Starting the Car and with one last unimpressed look at Robert's new house, Jenna sped out of the driveway (showing no respect) and headed home.
