Cause if you mean that they are just both alone in the house, because no one else is home, then that is ok. She is living with you guys now and that can be expected. However, if by alone, you mean that they are both disappearing off to a bedroom or a room, that is not a communal area, together for a long time, then you might have a reason to be concerned.But how are they acting towards each other? Are they flirting? I guess, if I were you I would voice my concerns to your mom. Not to start anything. But I think she might be able to relieve some of your insecurities. Just because it is hard to fathom that your aunt or your father would do that to her sister and her family. And at the same time, it is very understandable, given the situation, for you to see her as a threat, even though she probably isn't. Just tell your mom.

 Do you see any flirting going on? If your dad gets in first and you're mom's still at work and you're worried then maybe you can make sure and spend some time in their company until your mom gets home. Watch them both carefully and form your own opinion. I don't think you necessarily have anything to worry about but it has happened in the past so just be vigilant and maybe have a quiet word with your aunt if you think things are getting out of hand. After all, her sister has taken her in out of the goodness of her heart here.
