Heaven rolled her eyes. "And why do you think I wouldn't do my share, Mama?" She asked, shaking her head. She leaned over once more when she walked back through the kitchen to the woman and kissed the top of her head. "And I'd do your share too, if you'd let me." She lectured. The woman had raised her, and done everything to make sure that she had a good life. The least she could do was see to it that her little brother or sister had the same kind of start.

She looked at Cheyenne and smirked. She actually liked the woman, but when she was made at Asher, things got sticky. The teen made her way back to help her aunt get the food on plates and start putting them in front of people.

"Daddy!" She said, brightly, when her father came in. As usual, the girl made quick work of crossing the room to hug the man, and give him a soft kiss on the cheek. "Morning Daddy." She said in a more subdued voice. "I'll get you your plate." She promised, before hurrying to do just that.

Kerry smiled at her brother. "Only the best for this house." It was starting to sound like it would be a quiet day. All that they needed was Asher to join them to really find out.

Cheyenne was leaning a hip on the counter while watching the others. She opened an arm to bring the ten year old to her side, giving her an affectionate squeeze and pat on the back. She wasn't in the mood for kind words, but for her daughter, she would lavish all the love she could muster.

With a quick grab of a pack of cigarettes she kept in her robe, the woman lit up and looked at the pregnant woman, her eyes narrowing. She liked Sydney more than Rosemary, but not much more. Too fucking goody-two-shoes for her. Purposefully blowing out a cloud of smoke, the woman smirked. "Some of us actually have to work around here, Sydney." She said in a slow voice. "You know, go out into that scary world." Her eyes went wide for a minute to dramatize her point. For her daughter's benefit, the woman added "I'm going out to meet my most recent 'Sugar Daddy'." She explained.

Everyone knew that Cheyenne had taken up on a site for sugar daddies, and it not only brought them clothes and money, but also more than a few victims when they were needed, or just annoying. "I figured I'd quit this one's whining and give him a little something, get enough money to by that new Cannon camera I've had my eyes on." Her eyes were on Kerry then, purposefully ignoring the doorway, in case Asher came in. "You know, to forget about my own troubles with..." She rolled her eyes dramatically and grinned.

"Anyway, after that and a little shopping, I headed to the club for a couple shifts." The woman shrugged. "That. Is where I'm going."
