CHAPTER SEVEN

Tour Day 60 – Los Angeles, CA

I opened the front door of my house, stepped into the foyer, and dropped my overnight bag on the blue and white marble.

“Lucy!” I called out in my best Ricky Ricardo voice. “I’m home!”

“Stop playing, Aiden,” my sister, Sara, yelled from the kitchen. “You know my fat ass isn’t running in there!”

My mother rounded the corner with a welcoming smile and her arms extended for a big hug.

This is exactly the reception I love coming home to. I love having my family here. There were so many days I came home from a show or a long tour and my house was just as empty as the day I left it.

I grew up in a house full of people. I’m used to noise and chaos. I hated living alone in Atlanta. I was miserable and usually passed out drunk from boredom combined with depression. That’s one of the main reasons I stayed with Sunny for so long, and definitely the reason Delilah moved in with me when I moved to Los Angeles.

“How long are you going to be home?” my mother asked as we walked into the kitchen.

Delilah and Sara were sitting at one of the granite counters snacking a huge fruit and cheese platter that I couldn’t tell if my housekeeper, Marissa, or my mother had put together. It looked delicious.

“Three days,” I answered her before turning to my big sister. “Look at you! You’re about to pop!”

Sara was wearing a purple sundress, and at nine months pregnant, I had to bite my lip to refrain from calling her Barney. It was the hardest thing ever!

“I wish,” she grumbled. “I’m a week from my due date and doing everything possible to go into labor. I want this kid out of me!”

I kissed the top of her hand and rubbed her huge and firm belly.

“You can have him any time today,” I said. “But I’m playing the Hollywood Bowl tomorrow, so if you don’t have him today, you’ll have to wait until after my show.”

“Ha ha,” she grumbled. “I’ll set a reminder on my phone. I mean, who cares that I’m miserable. Aiden has a show!”

Delilah poked me in the ribs and giggled. “Don’t anger the beast.”

“Shut up!” Sara snapped as she slid off the barstool.

“See,” Delilah said as Sara waddled out of the kitchen. “She’s going to go cry in her bedroom now.”

“I heard that!” Sara yelled. “I’m just going to pee!”

I burst out laughing and hopped up on the kitchen counter. My mother shook her head at me. I fully expected her to say something like ‘counters are for glasses, not asses, Aiden’, but she didn’t.

“What are you doing here?” I asked my baby sister. “Sunny went straight to the studio when we pulled into town. She’s probably pissed that you aren’t there.”

“That’s why Sunny has two assistants,” Delilah replied. “I already told her that I’m on baby watch until Sara delivers my new niece-”

“Nephew,” I corrected her.

“Whatever, loser. Anyway, I’ve been working my ass off while she’s been with you.
