Darrin quickly moved behind Angel and helped her regain a footing before looking down at her and back at the woman standing with his parents. Jacob and Hannah both matched their son's reaction and looked to Angel and back at the woman. Neither of them looked entirely "happy" with the reunion.

“Yeah? You haven’t either.” Angel said coldly, which was strange and a rarity. Angel didn’t speak to anybody with such a chill and spite in her voice. She leaned against Darrin as though she was hoping to fall into him and disappear until her Mother was gone; but this was happening.

“Well, I suppose there’s at least one big change for you. That’s where we’re different.” Whitney countered, now eyeing Darrin distastefully. She would’ve much rather Angel match up with some Blueblood her mother picked out.

“No…That’s not the only reason we’re different.” Angel said calmly, trying to keep her mood mellow.

Her Mother simply pressed her lips into a hard and thin line; Angel recognized this face, it was at this point Whitney would politely excuse them and drag Angel off to chew her out for embarrassing her. She turned to face Hannah again; almost seemingly ignoring Angel and Darrin now, but to the contrary Angel was heavily on Whitney’s mind.

“You have a beautiful home Missus…?” She started.

"Remfield. Hannah Remfield," Hannah replied curtly, brows furrowing. She wasn't blind, she caught the look Whitney was throwing to both Angel and Darrin, and she didn't like it. Most of the time, Hannah was a calm, level-headed, bubbly woman, but much like the mother eagle, you fuck with her young and she'll rip you limb with her lethal talons. "What brings you here, exactly?" She asked, folding her arms over her chest in an, what looked like, off-handed manner, although it was more so to keep from reaching out and shaking the woman in front of her.

Darrin furrowed his brows as he watched Angel's mother and his mother conversate.

“I can’t stay long, but I thought due to the present circumstance it was appropriate that the four of us have a sit down and talk about the situation.” Whitney explained; all business. No concern, no kindness, nothing. She felt nearly nothing for her daughter. But in her mind how could she after she spread slander all around their church that her ex husband was molesting her and then ran away for a few years. Only to turn up pregnant.

"That's fine if that's what Angel and Darrin want." Hannah said quickly, looking to the twosome.

Whitney looked at the twosome out of the corners of her eyes.

“Is that all right with you Darrin?” Angel asked.

"If you want." Darrin replied with a shrug, looking back down at Angel.

Angel stared at her Mother, their eyes boring into each other in some internal battle. Angel didn’t want to, but this was a visit she needed to have, but that’s putting it nicely. If anything, this was a showdown to Angel; western style.

“Yeah…I want to.” Angel said to Darrin without breaking eye contact.

Hannah looked from Angel and Darrin over to Whitney and gave a slight shrug.

"I guess we can talk. Lets go into the kitchen then." She said before turning on her heels and heading off into the kitchen, her husband following her like a lost puppy as per usual. Darrin reached down and took Angel's hand, coaxing her towards the kitchen as well.

They all filed into the kitchen, the air was so thick with tension you could cut it with a cleaver. It was clear that from this point on, shit was going to get real. Angel sat at the table but uneasily, on the edge of her seat; prepared to shoot up and attack Whitney. Whitney on the other hand, stood. And even more uncomfortably for everyone, beside Angel with her left hand firmly placed on Angel’s shoulder. This made Angel’s hair stand on end.

“So, no beating around the bush. I’m going to tell you how I see this and what’s going to happen.” Whitney started.

"Oh? And what's that?" Hannah asked, her arms folded over her chest as she stood behind Darrin with her husband sitting down beside their son with a hand on Darrin's shoulder.

“Your heathen of a son knocked up my conniving daughter. While the thought of brining back such a wild child into my household makes me sick, I’d like the opportunity to give the unborn bastard a chance at a decent life. Clearly since you’ve let your kid stick it wherever it can fit, this is not a home to bring a baby into. So what’s going to happen is I’m going to haul her out of here, you can keep anything she’s obtained since I don’t suppose he picked her up with any possessions; and I’m going to get her out of your hair. You have so many mouths to feed already in such a tiny house, it’s really cute and quaint in a trail pack trash kind of way, but I think the baby could do better.” Whitney fired off without a change in expression, stance or tone. She acted so stiff as though she hadn’t said anything wrong at all.

Angel looked up, appalled at her Mother’s manners but not necessarily surprised either.

“Apologize to them! Right now! You can’t just say-” Angel started, standing up but Whitney with one arm shoved her right back into her seat and gave her a light tap on her mouth.

Darrin had jolted up quickly but his mother moved faster. Hannah had quickly moved over and shoved Whitney's hand away from Angel and stepped between the mother-daughter duo. She had to look up at Whitney due to her small stature, but despite her small frame she looked ready to kill. She reached up and jabbed a finger into Whitney's chest.

"Excuse me, but you will NOT be touching her in my household and you will NOT insult me or my family, you stuck up, silver spooned, prideful-"

"Woah woah woah!" Jacob quickly jumped up as well and grabbed his wife and tugged her away before taking her place betwixt Angel and Whitney. "Listen, Miss Baxter, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to go, WITHOUT Angel." He said sternly.

“I don’t feel like that’s up to you, she’s a child, MY child. You cannot keep her here.” Whitney said, unmoved by Hannah’s swift movements and her response. She was like cold fire.

Her hand was still firm on Angel’s shoulder when she started to yank her out of her seat but Angel jerked back with a fierce strength nobody had been familiar with when it came to Angel. She was soft, and gentle; she couldn’t be mean or hurt anyone. Whitney wasn’t anyone.

“No, Whitney.” Angel snapped.

“Excuse me?” Whitney started, looking down at Angel as though she was about to strike.

“I didn’t stutter, if they don’t want me here I’ll leave, but I’m not going home with you. Not ever. You couldn’t pay me, there isn’t enough money.” Angel shook her head slowly.

“Azriel Angel Lazarus! There is no reason for you to not come home with your Mother!” Whitney yelled, trying once more to yank Angel out of her chair. This time Angel didn’t resist but jumped up immediately knocking Whitney onto the floor.

“You didn’t believe me!” Angel screamed practically in Whitney’s face, her body shaking as adrenalin coursed through her. “I’m not scared of you…” She snarled through her bare teeth. It was like seeing a completely different person. Angel went from a dove to one eared alley cat in seconds. But the tears welling up in her eyes said that this was rage pent up for years, she had finally burst.

Whitney just stared up at Angel in disbelief, Angel had never directly raised her voice at her, and never had she ever shown the capacity for violence or brute force. Whitney wasn’t scared either, but she was astonished.

Darrin blinked in surprise but quickly stepped over to Angel despite the shock that came with the "new" Angel before him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders from behind and looked down at Whitney. Hannah found herself in a bout of shock as well as she looked down at the statuesque blond on the floor.
