Even After Death

The History

It's been a few days since the club and I've been dying to get out of the house. I have my head leaned back on the couch staring at the ceiling. We have been relaxing and enjoying each other's company, but I want to go out and do something. He looks over at me and sees it. "Darling it's been a good bit since we have seen my mother. Would you like to go see her?" I snap my head up and looked at him. "Do you think she will make her Jambalaya?" "Oh most definitely." He chuckled. I got up and jumped a bit like a schoolgirl, her Jambalaya is the best in town, I have never met anyone that can make it better, well maybe Tiana at her restaurant but Alastor's moms is better. I ran into the room and quickly got dressed in a nice summers dress and put on some accessories. He walks up to the door frame and leans on it with a smile on his face. "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that?" I said while fiddling with my earring. He walks up to me and brings his hands to my hips. "Oh nothing. Just looking at a beautiful woman. You know before I met you I didn't think I would be with anyone in this life time. But when I saw you slaying that man I fell in love quick." He said, slowly rubbing my back with one of his hands. "You always know what to say to get me all teary eyed. I thought of the same thing, though I stayed cautious of you for the first couple of interactions but I quickly saw the real you and I fell hard. I love you." He brings me in to a passionate kiss. "I love you to, now go finish up getting ready." He lets me go and I head over to my vanity to quickly put on my makeup while he gets dressed and then we are out the door.

We arrived at his mothers house. It has a white picket fence with a small garden on both sides of the walkway leading up to the porch. He lends me his arm and we head up to the door, he knocks on the door and we hear her yell "One minute!" The door quickly opens up to a shorter woman with long gray hair, wrinkles near her eyes, she gives out a soft smile, "Oh Alastor! Alice! What a pleasure having you here! Now come on in, I'm about to start cooking and now I know what to make. Alice do you want to join me?" My smile grew big, "Of course ma-ma," I always love visiting her and helping her cook. We walk in and I head to the kitchen while Alastor heads into the living room grabbing the newspaper to read. "Now dear can you grab the pot for me, you know what to do." I smiled and nodded. I grabbed the pot and put it on the stove and then grabbed the apron and put it on. Walking over to the fridge and grabbing all of the ingredients that I need. Chicken, Sausage, Celery, Onion, Garlic and Bell Peppers, I started cutting up the chicken and sausage and put them in the pan until they were brown, then I put them on a plate. While I did that, mama diced up the onion, garlic, celery and bell peppers and put them in the pot and sauteed them for me while I grabbed the tomatoes, basil, Cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. I diced up the tomatoes and added everything into the pot. She grabbed the chicken broth and rice and added them into the pan including the chicken and sausage and let it cook. "See dear, you know what you're doing. If you keep it up you will be a master chef in no time." She said lightly hitting her hand into my shoulder, I let out a small chuckle and I went to grab plates. "It smells wonderful, my two favorite people making my favorite meal. What a dream come true." Alastor said coming in and wrapping both of his arms around us, he places a small kiss on each of our cheek. "Oh Al, of course I will make your favorite while you're here. I'll do anything to put a smile on your face." She said while pinching his cheek on the last part. His face turns a little red and I laugh at his embarrassment. He turns to see me carrying the plates and silverware and grabs them out of my hand. "Now you two sit down and I'll serve." He said, plating everything down grabbing a ladle. "Oh yea, have us do all of the hard work and you get the easy part." Mama snickered. I took off the apron and sat down at the table across from his mother while he brought in the plates full of food. "Now dig in." He commands. We all started to eat our food, humming to the satisfaction that we had made. "You guys make it perfect every time." He said with a mouth full." "Well I hope so, I've been making it like this ever since you were a child. I hope I know how to make it right. Plus now Alice knows it very well, she can start making it at home." She smiled pointing the fork at me. "Yea, I'll have to make a batch that will last a week or he will beg me to make it every day." I laughed.
