“When I was alive I tried to live
in the utmost of normal, of course we all know that, no matter how hard you
try, things come out of the blue to destroy you, this is where we get the
saying… when life gives you lemons, make lemonade… However when life gives you
garbage… Burn it!”
Bree heard a knock at the door, and was elated to see Jennifer standing
on her stoop. “Jennifer, I’m glad you could make it… I have to go pop something
in the oven, meanwhile go ahead and chat with the other ladies, I’m sure they
will be happy to meet you.” Bree took off into the kitchen, As Jennifer made
her way into the family room. When she stepped in Lynette and Gaby stopped
taking and looked at her. “Hi I’m Jennifer I just bought…” Lynette stood up and
hugged her. “It’s so nice to finally meet you; you’re the one who bought
Susan’s old house.” Gaby stood as well “Which means you have some very large
shoes to fill.” the girls laughed and sat down to talk.
Kayla sat on the couch next to Tom. All was quiet till… “Why did you
come back Kayla? Don’t get me wrong it’s great to see you after all this time,
but the way things were ended…”
Kayla looked at Tom,
“Actually, I come back every year to lay flowers on Mom’s grave, and every year I've thought about coming to visit…” There was a noise from behind them. Penny
came running down the stairs and stopped when she saw the two on the couch.
Kayla stood up, “This isn't little Penny Scavo?!” Penny smirked and said “Well
no not so little, not anymore… Who are you?” Tom stood up and swallowed hard.
As Bree put down her coffee mug she asked Jennifer what her husband did.
“Well he’s a doctor… a very educated doctor.” Gaby laughed as all the women
looked at her, still giggling, she stopped. Cleared her throat… “Well that’s
nice, you’re all set.” Lynette shook her head. “So Jennifer, how did you two
meet?” Jennifer paused and looked at them all. “It’s a long story but... I've always believed in fate, and I guess that’s what brought us together in the
first place.” “Oh well that’s wonderful dear.” Bree said as she smiled.
Jennifer Smiled and took another sip of her drink.
“Why is she even here?” Penny Exclaimed. Tom put his hands in front of
her mouth as to shush her. “Penny! She’s going to hear you!” Penny grabbed tom
and dragged him into the den. “Parker told me what she did to mom and having
her around isn't such a great idea…” Tom stood with his arms crossed “That happened 13 years ago, we don’t know why she’s here she could be ashamed and
wants to apologize.” Now Penny crossing her arms says “I hope so, for mom’s
sake.” Penny walked out of the den and passed Kayla with a dirty look.
“Carlos, I’m home” After Gaby shut the door, she walked into the
kitchen, where Carlos was finishing up dishes… “Oh honey, I could have done
those” Carlos turned the water off, threw the sponge at the sink and walked
past her. Gaby turned to follow him. “Carlos! What now?” Carlos Stopped and
spun around. “What did we discuss this morning Gaby?” Gaby looked stumped.
Carlos threw hints at her “It involves kids…And there missing mother…” Carlos
looked at Gaby, waiting for a response. “I told you I was going over to Bree’s,
I’m Home now.” Gaby smiled. “The girls are in bed Gaby, they waited up as long
as they could, Juanita passed out and Celia was sleep chewing on her blanket.”
Gaby looked at the floor “That explains the cotton mouth” Carlos stood tall.
“I’m serious Gaby.” “ OK! Fine, Tomorrow I’ll call off work and spend the day
with the girls…” Carlos smiled at the thought. However Gaby stormed off into
the kitchen. “But I won’t like it!” She yelled.
“Yes things come out of the blue to destroy you…
Whether it be an object, or a person. But once the storm settles it gives you a
much better perspective on life when you finally decide to… fight back”
