(James)
"Now that is settled we should begin making plans to deal with my mom"
"Can we just not tell her?" She asked
"It's her grandchild Martha"
"I know, you still love your mom and you want her to be apart of your family"
"I do?" I said
"You don't?" She asked confused
"I mean I do love my mother Martha but if I'm being honest I'd much rather keep my son away from my mother as long as I can"
"So why don't you want to keep it from it"
"That's not what I meant. It's not that I don't want to keep it from her. I literally can't. You know why?" I asked her
"Eve?"
"Yes. Whether I like it or not that child is still her grandchild. Eve wouldn't keep something like this hidden. Especially at risk to her own self"
"Can't you just ask her to hold off a little before she tells her"
"Do you remember what Max's wife associates her with?"
"If I remember correctly. She called her your mother's bitch"
"Though I hate the phrasing it is not that far off from the truth"
