“I see. You’re one amazing boy. You’re so much like your mother.” Gina was lost watching Seth, amazed by his progress and determination. “Hey, your uncle Aiden called, he wants to know if you want to go fishing with him tomorrow?”

“I can’t tomorrow. It’s the annual international cook off and it’s live on the food channel.” Seth replied without disappointment.

“That’s tomorrow, I forgot.”

“Yeah and the who of who is going to be there. I was hoping we could watch it together.”

“Sure, I have some work to finish up for my meeting on Monday but I can join you after.”

“Cool.”

“You don’t seem too bothered that you won’t hang out with Aiden tomorrow.”

“Because I’m not.”

“Why not? You hardly ever spend time with him anymore.”

“He thinks I’m a sissy.”

“Did he say that?”

“No, but its implied. He said that the perfect male likes women, cars and sports. But the perfect male wouldn’t treat women the way he does. He has no respect for them and you would think that for a guy who lived with my grandmothers and my mom, he would treat women like people and not some object or conquest. And he loves making money. What’s the point in having al that money and no one to enjoy it with.”

“He wasn’t always like this you know. He’s really a sweet person.”

“So what happened then?”

“Well he met this girl in high school and fell in love with her. They went to college together and got married soon after. Six months into the marriage he came home and she was gone. Left him a note saying that she didn’t love him anymore and that she found someone else. He was really devastated. It took him years to get over her.”

“But that doesn’t give him right to hurt people like that.”

“Well honey when you get older and you get your heart broken you may just understand him a little better.”

“Mom I had my heart broken once. Don’t you remember Jamie Spencer?”

“The girl we spent all night cookies for?”

“Yes and after I gave them to her she gave them to Bruce Mc Kenzie from the second grade. That really hurt my feelings mom.”

“I remember, but I also remembered Casanova that a week later you were doing the same thing for Sarah.”

“That’s low mom.” They laughed.

Gina and Seth were done with dinner and setting the table. They were cleaning up when Angelica and Gabrielle came home. “Guys we’re home.” Angelica called out form the living room.

“In here babe.” Angelica came in the bedroom to meet Gina giving Seth a bath. “How was your day?”

“It was ok. One of our major clients threatened to pull his account.”

“Why, what happened?”

Angelica looked at Seth and then Gina, “I’ll tell you later. Young ears.”

“Mom.”

“Sorry.” Angelica kissed Seth. “So what’s for dinner?”

“Pork chops.”

“Great. Hey sweetie I forgot to ask how was your therapy?”

“I’m getting better.”

“Yeah, he stood for himself. Even walked a couple feet on his own.”

“That’s excellent sweetie.”

“Mom, can you help me out here please?” Gabrielle yelled.

Gina and Angelica looked at each other and yelled back together, “Which one?”

“Anyone it doesn’t matter.”

“I’ll take this one.” Gina offered so Angelica can spend some time with Seth. “You can finish up here.”

“Good luck. She and Marcus are fighting again. I had my turn in the car.”

“Oh.” Gina ached

“I swear those two are like an old married couple.” Seth added.
