Lena's: POV
We were sitting around the dinner table having supper. Dad agreed to stay, none mention anything about the blow up that happened a few hours ago. Francesca who was to my left and Stef sat on my right, Sharon kept stealing glances all around the room. Dad was telling all about the recent camping trip he and Brandon went on last weekend, l took a sip of my white wine. Stef gave Sharon the meanest glare l ever seen, nobody knew what to say. Cause the tension was so thick you could cut it with a knife, Francesca picked up on everybody's mood and she couldn't understand why her Nana tried to pick a fight with mommy, after she promised to be nice. Can I please be excuse Francesca asks sure baby did you get a enough to eat Lena said, yes mommy l'm fine just feeling a little tired that's all Francesca says as she unlocks the brake on her chair and wheeled herself out of the dining room. Leaving Stewart Stef and myself all around the table, still eating. Mother if you have something to say just it cause I know want to
Don't think l didn't hear your talk with Stewart earlier, Stef was trying to keep her temper in check. I didn't appreciate you blaming my wife
You have to realize l'm a grown woman now with a family and Lena didn't change me, l did that on my own. And you said l couldn't gave Lena a lavish lifestyle. We both have good jobs, l think we're doing alright for ourselves. I take care her quite well, just because I don't board case it to the world. As for our children they don't want for anything, l feel your trying to blame Lena for something she's never did. She has always gone out of her way to be nice to you, she's never disrespected you in know way
Stef said. Stephanie you don't need prove anything to anyone Lena states
I know apparently my mom feels the need blame you, when in reality
She's mad because my grandfather left us this house and his money and he didn't her a lot. Honey l'm just sorry you got caught up in this mess
Stef takes Lena's hand in hers, and brings it to her lips and kisses it.
isn't that true mom Stef asked
Yes l didn't find out about it till the reading of his will, but l guess I took my angry out on the wrong person
Because l was hurting inside and then your father died and you left. I was so alone, you stopped calling me and when you did call. You were telling me about some trip you and Lena visited, l became jealous cause you had this other life l wasn't apart of
I guess my bitterness got the best of me. Sharon Stated, mom all this could have been avoided if you would have told me instead of trying to pick a argument with Lena. Your gonna have to respect that she's my wife Stef says to her mother, l know l should be use to the fact that your a married woman and have kids. I'll always see you as my little girl who would ask me tons of questions about everything and anything, Sharon said to her daughter.
