" damn it feels so good to be home " Nikki says plopping down onto the couch beside me.
" until Friday when you have to go back and finish the tour " I mumble keeping my eyes on the television.
We got back to LA yesterday night and have done nothing all day....we haven't gone grocery shopping or dusted the place.... I just don't have the energy and there's no way Nikki will do it.
I sit with my head resting on a cushion as I try to watch wheel of fortune....
" Can you stop that please " I pipe up looking at him as he continues to tap his fingers on the table beside him.
" Sorry " he says sarcastically. I sigh turning my attention back onto the tv before he starts talking again.
" I'm just so bored! I'm not used to just doing nothing Soph " He explains.
" You sound like a child....go play with your harley or something and while you're at it run to the store and get us some food " He looks at me and I pause for a second playing back to myself what I just said.
" Okay Mom " He scoffs before kissing me on the forehead.
" I'm sorry " I say not knowing why i'm so snappy.
I must say his patience has grown so much.

I jolt awake as i take in my surroundings, the light from the tv illuminating the living room. I look around at adjust my eyes to read the clock, 7:32pm it reads. Nikki must not be back.
I trudge into the kitchen pouring myself a glass of water staring at my own reflection in the window. I start to daydream of the future, my baby, nikki, Gunner our little family.
Before I get to smile a loud knock breaks me away from my thoughts. It scared me and I don't know why i feel hesitant towards opening the door.... it can't be Nikki I definitely would've heard the bike. I walk towards the door putting on the latch before slowly opening it up.
" SOPHIA " I hear the voice boom. It takes the air away from my lungs.
" ZIA " I remove the lock instantly embracing her in my arms.
" I'm so happy you're here what an amazing surprise" I say still latching onto her.
I've spoken about my aunt a couple of times, I usually don't bring her up much....not because I don't love her no no no....because then it usually leads to having to speak about my parents and i'm just not ready for that conversation.
But if you need a little reminder, my aunt took care of me most of my life. She's my fathers sister , a beautiful Italian woman with dark long hair and olive skin. I owe this woman my life, she helped me move to LA to chase my dreams, except I never really then had the money to visit her.
When I got the job with mötley sure I had a couple of bucks but....she was then unfortunately diagnosed with Lupus. She was very ill and I would send most my money out to her to help pay for treatments ( something I never told Nikki because I didn't want him to worry ). Luckily her symptoms have improved.
" please come inside! how are you !? how did you get here !? - " I ramble on as I usher her inside.
" Sophia slow down I can't hear myself think " She laughs as she drags her suitcase behind her into the living room.
" I'm sorry i'm just so overwhelmed.... "
" We'll i'm glad you're glad to see me, I know it's late but I wanted it to be a surprise....oh and um I hope you don't mind if I stay here " She says fixing her cardigan.
" Zia you can stay for as long as you want " I say reaching over and putting my hand on top of hers.
" I hope you don't mind me saying but you are huge....that has to be a boy...no baby girl would cause you to be this large " Have I mentioned she's very outspoken.
" We'll have to wait and see, i'm due next week so it's not too long before - " I'm interrupted by the sound of Nikki's harley pulling up.
" Now who on gods earth is making noise at this hour of the night " Zia stands up looking out the window.
This is actually the first time Zia and Nikki will be meeting. Sure they've spoken on the phone before and she reads the magazines about us but this is face to face what if they don't actually get along....what if this triggers Nikki about his own mother....No stop spiralling.
" I brought foooood " I hear him sing as the noise from his boots and chain belt chime through the hallway. He stands at the door frame staring at me then and Zia then back at me and she does the same.
" Nikki aw come here I didn't realise it was you outside " She walks towards him her arms spread to embrace him. Uh oh.
To my surprise he actually hugs her back.
" Zia what a surprise, how was your trip " he smiles towering over her.
" Great now come on with them groceries and I cook you both a proper meal " She smiles up at him grabbing the paper bag from his arms and walking into the kitchen.
We take a second to make eye contact before embracing each other.
" You never told me she was coming " He says kissing the top of my head.
" She never even told me she was coming " I laugh turning off the tv.
" It'll be nice to have a motherly presence around before the birth she might me able to give us some tips " He says confidently, I know " motherly figures" are not exactly nikki's favourite topic of conversation but it makes me smile that he's seeing the positive to having Zia around.
" You're a good man Sixx " I say leaning into his side as we walk together towards the kitchen.
" Now who likes lasagne " Zia says staring at us with the lasagne already half assembled.
" Looks like we've no other choice " Nikki snickers while I nudge him smiling.
