like her boys somehow knew what they would be as adults. Michelle reach up to touch the 85’ Chicago Bears poster Jed had on his wall. Then turned and smiled up at the poster of her little Jed in his football uniform.
Her boys were all doing well for themselves. Yet it was all the tabloids and magazines that would say negative things about all the women after women they appeared with, that worried her. All those women looked anorexic and very slutty. “Eso no es lo que yo quiero para mis hijos.” No, that was not what she want for her children. What they needed is a strong woman who will be their equal and not some airhead eye candy.
After closing the door to Jed’s room, it dawned that it was time to call a meeting of the round table. There was still time before she need to get ready for her Birthday date. Diego had already left for the garage. It was less than half an hour before her doorbell rang. She had already made the coffee and set out some cookies, cake and toast.
“Hola Gloria, Lucinda, Reina, Camila, Patricia." I greet my best friends as they come in one by one. They have been her rock. Without them, she might not have been able to raise five boys. There was always a pair of eyes on them as they grew up.
"So what's the big emergency Michelle? We celebrated your birthday yesterday so that you had time with the hubby today?" Patricia asked looking confused.
"It's my boys, they’re all gathering home tomorrow. I have decided it's high time they found a good woman. I mean the youngest is 24 and not getting any younger. When we were their age, Diego and I had five children already." They all started to laugh at her words.
"Honey, it is not the same thing. How can you even think to compare your situation with Diego to their lives?" Camilla admonished making Michelle pout. She really dislike being contradicted.
After hearing more from the girls about their options everyone turned to Lucinda. She was not her normal cheerful self. "Lucy what's wrong?" Michelle ask as they all gathered around the woman. Her tears started to slide down her face and they all felt her pain.
"Molly called me this morning to finally inform me that she and her husband got divorced last month." Lucinda said on a sob. They instantly went to hug and comfort her. "She admitted that he was not the father of her baby. He married her anyway because he loved her. Yet she did not love him and would not sleep with him. It’s been a year now and he finally got tired of not getting any. She agreed to the divorce, because she still did not love him."
"Wait, what? So who's the father then?" Michelle asked as they all closed in on Lucinda. Molly was such a lovely girl. Why hadn’t she married the baby’s real father? So many things went through Michelle’s head at that moment.
"Molly doesn't want to tell me. She's coming home in a week and I'm going to make her talk then." Lucinda said full of determination. "Don't worry about me, let's talk about this plan of yours. My only daughter is a mess and was married before your little plan took root. So I'm guessing we are going to pair him up with the girl's daughters?" Lucy asked smiling again as she wiped at her tears.
"We did talk a lot about wanting our kids to get together when they were younger. Plus your girls are not married. I'm guessing, what the hell. It doesn't hurt to manipulate situations so they can meet again as adults. Maybe we can orchestrate a way to get them together." Michelle smirked already thinking up ways to get her boys married. "You are one scary woman when you set your mind to something." Camilla said causing them all to laugh again.
Yes an idea was taking shape in her mind. Michelle had already planned on creating a list in which she would write the names of all her friends’ daughters. There she would figure out what they might have in common with her boys. They were all beautiful and special
