I don't make any money and I am just trying to have some fun. This is my first so please be nice? I love some constructive Critism, but flames are just mean. PS, if you couldn't tell by the name, I am a BABE all the way, so hang in there ladies, this is for all you Babes. Cupcake fans bear with me, Joe is a good guy and he is portrayed as so in this story.
Lester's POV
When we got home it was dinner time and I smelled the lasagna outside. It was my favorite and Stephanie knew it. The guys and I were running to take our place at the table when a familiar voice scolded us.
"Hijo. What are you doing? Boys. Be quiet. Querida is upstairs napping. Go clean up while I get querida from bed."
"Momma?"
"Why are you looking at me like that? I came to see the woman that my son is marrying and met my other son's love and children. She asked me to stay for dinner. I like her. She is a keeper, whether for Ricardo or for you. I am glad that she is going to be in this family. I think that she needs a pep talk for tonight."
"What is tonight?"
"Your engagement dinner. Carlos is coming to meet the woman I told him was a gold digger."
"Momma I should have asked for your help in the beginning, you have accomplished in a day what we have tried for months."
"That is okay hijo. You are a man. It is understandable. Now go. Clean up. Tonight is a big night."
Dinner was fun as it always was. Stephanie and Momma were getting along and Momma really liked her. That was a good thing. Momma has never liked her son's wives. There have been some major battles between Momma and the other girls that my brothers have married. She and Rachel didn't get along at all and she hates all my dates before she even meets them. I don't really blame her for that though.
I guess it was just the Stephanie magnetism. That she could cook was a point in her favor and that she was giving Momma five grandsons was a major step up. After dinner the guys and I pulled cleanup as Stephanie, Lula and Momma went upstairs to get ready for the 'engagement dinner.'
I wasn't surprised that Momma loved Lula too. Anyone could see how happy she made Tank. Or Charlie as the girls called him now. Uncle Tank didn't sound nice is the excuse they used to get him to tell them his name. This was going to be a rough night and I knew that the stress had to be getting to Stephanie.
