Upon hearing the noise outside her kitchen Angelica Wells finished what she was doing and dried her hands. Smiling warmly she stepped out of the kitchen only to stop mid stride her identical green eyes going wide in astonishment. It wasn't the sight of her daughter that her stunned. Oh no. It was guest she'd brought home with her. Aria never brought anyone home. Sure she talked boisterously about her co-workers and friends in the city but this?

Shaking her head softly so that a graying tendril of hair fell out of her ponytail Angelica snapped back to the here and now. It could only mean on thing! Her darling baby girl was finally ready to settle down! But when on earth had she began this relationship? She'd never mentioned a certain someone on her sporadic visits. Unless...her daughter was a better actor than she'd thought. Or..oh no. What if she was pregnant?! No! She'd raised her children better than that. She'd sat down with each and every one of them at that crucial age and made sure that they understood the rules of having a roll in the hay. And by George by the time she'd finished with them they'd understood the rules perfectly. Placing a smile on her weathered face she held out a hand to Jacob.

"Well this is a surprise. Aria has brought a guest. I'm Angelica Wells. How ever everyone calls me Angel. You must be starving after your flight. If you'll follow me I'll be more than happy to fix that. I was just wrapping up lunch."

Aria felt a small lurch in her stomach as her mother froze. That wasn't right. Her mom didn't freeze up like that. Nor did her mom spend so much time wrapped up in her thoughts. Just what was her mom thinking? Had she done something wrong? She'd called to let her mom know she was coming. And she'd remembered to do all of her shopping. And...she'd brought Jake with her. That was the one thing she'd forgotten to tell her mom.

Uh oh. Big fat uh oh. Leave it to her mom think up the worst thing. 'What if mom thinks I'm pregnant? Oh man I'll never hear the end of it. I can't forget 'The Talk'! It was horrifying! Its scarred me for life. Just how does she expect me to do the horizontal mambo with any dude with her voice in my head retelling every gruesome detail?' she thought. She shuddered softly in revulsion and quickly steppe din after her mom introduced herself. "Mom this is Jake. My BOSS." she stated making sure to put a special emphasis on the word boss. "He decided he'd like to spend the holidays with us. I guess I forgot to tell you.." she mumbled quietly her eyes lowered on the floor as she waited for some response.
