As the food got there Mariana looked at her food with a smile.  "Everything looks so amazing.  I'm starving."  Positioning her plate how she wanted it.  Listening to Alex speak while she also felt his foot caress hers.  Her eyes showing a hint of playfulness as she looked over to her handsome son.  "Your meat looks really good Alex.  I bet it's delicious, you may have to save me some for later."<br/><br/>Her eyes moving to Kayla with a tender smile.  "Alex is very talented as are all my kids.  We are very blessed to have such a wonderful family."  Looking at the way Kayla has cut up her meal clearly thinking of the others.  Mariana reached over and took a piece off Kayla's plate.  "I know you may still not be comfortable in calling me Mom, but Mrs. Stevenson makes me sound way to old.  We are going to have to think of something until you get comfortable."<br/>Holding up a shrimp with her fork as she looks at Kayla.  "Try this sweetie, the sauce is amazing."
