Dinner with Milton Mooney

Disclaimer: None of it belongs to my except Frank's Thoughts.

AN: Thanks for all the review, favorites and alerts. I'm enjoying writing this story and I love to work on it when I have a random thought.

I was listening to the audiobook version of Finger Lickin' 15 while working last week and I couldn't get over Helen pushing another loser on Stephanie. I wondered what Frank thought during this meal from hell because this guy was a total loser.

I was sitting at the table wondering what loser Helen brought to dinner this time and I couldn't help but hear Edna's mouth. They're fixing my girl up with hotties no matter what her opinion is. Believe me this guy isn't close to a hottie. He's overweight, balding, pasty white skin, a bad complexion, and bad posture. She's on the outs with Morelli again, maybe it'll stick this time and she's helping Ranger. She's staying with Ranger. Why can't Helen see Ranger is the one for her? Oh, yeah, I know, he's not from the 'Burg. Who the hell cares?

I listened to this yutz tell everyone how he lost his job, lives with his mother, had a nervous breakdown and committed arson. Yeah, this is who you want to invite to dinner and serve your daughter up to? My wife is as crazy as this loser. I understand everyone reaches a breaking point and he's getting the medication and treatment for his mental health but when he said he's considering marriage to Stephanie because she has her own apartment I have to wonder about Helen's sanity. I shot Helen a look to show her the intense pain I'm having listening to this.

The latest dinner from hell is over and I sat Helen and Edna down. "What the hell is wrong with the two of you? How could you bring that loser home with you for dinner? Are the two of you completely insane? That loser is not the right man for Stephanie, he doesn't have a job or even the prospect of one. How can he support her in the 'Burg tradition you want for her."

Helen smiled and simply stated "I wanted her to see that no one else out there is as good as Joseph is. There aren't any 'Burg boys her age available that aren't losers so she'll patch things up with him."

Of course, that's her angle. Again pushing Morelli, who can't even be bothered to offer her comfort when it interferes with his job. "Helen, leave Stephanie alone and stop pushing men at her. If it's meant to be with Morelli things will work out but after all the break up over stupid things you'd think they would stay away from each other. I think you should leave her alone and maybe she'll get with that bounty hunter, Ranger. He's solid, smart and will give his life to protect her."

"Oh Frank no!" Helen exclaimed while Edna shouted "Yes."
