The Secret Child (Axl Rose FanFic)

Part 34.

I sat on the couch waiting for Colson to get there as I heard a knock on the door.

"It's open!" I yelled as my voice cracked a little and he walked in.

"Dude you sound like a frog" he laughed closing the door.

"And you look like a praying mantis so shut up"

He sat on the couch across from me as I sipped on my wine before he took it from me.

"Excuse me!" I laughed snatching it back from him.

"You shouldn't be drinking while on medicine, I'm doing you a favor" he said matter of factly as I rolled my eyes.

"I haven't taken medicine today thank you very much, so what's been new with you? Welcome to my house for a 3rd time I guess" he smiled and shook his head.

"Not much, just recording, doing interviews the usual. What about you?"

"Honestly, dealing with some baby daddy drama but that's a story for a different day. I'm gonna have to get back to work soon though, I've been off for awhile now"

"Is he cool with what you do?"

"I don't give a shit if he is or not, I do what I have to for my daughter and I to have the life we do. Other peoples opinions take a back seat at that point." We stayed up and talked for hours with eachother until he finally went home around 2 in the morning, it felt nice being able to spend time with someone who wasn't prying me for information and just genuinely seemed like they cared. Literally all this is, is just a friendship and as dumb as it sounds, that doesn't come often when you're a stripper in LA. A lot of the men see you as easy and the women see you as whores, that's just how it is. I found myself sleeping peacefully that night for the first time in awhile until someone decided to bang on my door at 430 in the morning. Stomping down the steps furiously, I opened the door to see Emily there.

"Do you have any idea what time it is?" I asked half asleep and annoyed.

"Where is he?" Ok well so much for answering my question.

"Where is who? And you better answer my question this time because it's too damn early to be dealing with this"

"Jake, I know he stayed here last night after you bitched out on talking to me now where is he?" I raised my eyebrows at her and held up my pointer finger to hold on a minute.

'Hey everything alright?"
'Jake, where are you?'
'At work why? Is something wrong?'
'Yeah there's something wrong, Emily is here banging on my door at 4:30 in the fucking morning looking for you. This is going to go down in 2 ways, you either come get her or Im calling the cops to do it. Either way I'm not in the mood to be dealing with some pregnant psychotic bitch especially if she wakes up my daughter. Now you either deal with her or I fucking will be make it snappy'

He groaned on the other end of the phone cursing under his breath before I hung up the line. She stared at me in shock for god only knows what reason.

"I swear if you knock on my door one more fucking time, day or night, I won't be calling anyone to save your ass. You're fucking lucky as hell that Jake picks up when I call and that you are knocked up because if you were I would beat the shit out of you from where you stand. Now sit down shut up and wait for him to come get you"

I stood on the patio practically baby sitting this women for 10 minutes waiting for Jake to show until my phone started to ring.

'Hello?'
'Shit your still awake? Did I leave my wallet at your place?'
'If you're talking about the black one on my counter then yea...'
'You alright? Did I wake you up?'
'No I'm not ok and no you didn't wake me up I'm waiting for Jake to come get his wife from my house because her crazy pregnant ass refuses to leave even though she lives 3 fucking houses down'
'Alright I'm on my way'

I hung up my phone and continued waiting while this women kept running her mouth until Colsons car pulled up when I had enough.

"Bitch would you shut the fuck up already!" I yelled at her as he walked over.

"What's going on?" He asked as I tossed him his wallet and I lit a cigarette, Jake pulling up shortly after.

"Emily have you lost your mind? It's now almost 5 in the morning and you're banging on the door of a house where my daughter is sleeping inside?" Colson and I just watching both of them as we leaned against the house.

"Should we separate them?" He whispered to me as I shook my head.

"Nah, I'm enjoying this" I said back to him as the fight continued.

"You're never home, you aren't answering your phone, you stayed here last night with HER and you answer as soon as SHE calls. You tell me what's going on?!"

"Well actually-" I started as she cut me off.

"No one is talking to you!" I raised my eyes brows and looked at Jake.

"Muzzle her or I will" I warned as she laughed.

"Yeah right, what the fuck are you gonna do. You only got knocked up because of who his dad is."

"You really have no idea who you're talking to do you? The moment you pop that kid out, that I will put money on isn't even his, I will fucking end you."

"Are you threatening me?!"

"No you dumb bitch that's not a threat, it's a fucking promise. Now you have 5 seconds to get off my property and you better not come back." Jake dragging her to the car sitting her in the passenger seat.

"By the way, you didn't deny what I said. Jake, I highly suggest you get a paternity test"  I hollered over to him as he turned to look at me.

"Lily, would you fucking stop already!" He yelled to me as Colson stepped in.

"Come on, let's go inside..." he opened my front door as I walked into my living room and Charlotte started crying, her tears being heard by Jake as he just looked at me apologetically.

"Text me later ok?" Colson gave me a hug before walking to his car.

"Come here babe" I picked up my daughter trying to console her.

"Yellinggg" she cried to me as I rubbed her back, her nose still stuffy but not as bad as the day before. Carrying her to the living room, we sat on the couch and put on a movie, my eyes becoming heavy as she drank milk from her sippy cup. A hand on my shoulder gently shaking me awake.

"Hey Lils, go to bed...I'll take care of Charlotte" Jake soft voice flooding me as I shook my head.

"Go home Jake... you haven't slept either" I mumbled out to him, my body soon feeling weightless as I drifted off to sleep.
