Mariana had been quiet on the ride to the restaurant, she just watched her children interact with each other.  She was proud of the family they had built and having Kayla only made things feel complete.  Sipping her glass of water as she listened intently to them all.<br/><br/>Sitting next to Ashley and her handsome husband she waited until everyone spoke.  "Well I guess its my turn." Smiling at all of them as she brushed her radiant red hair out of her face.  "My life is my family.  Everyone here knows my children come first...although your dad is a close second."  Smiling, laying one hand on his thigh, the other one on Ashley's thigh.  "Kayla I am so happy you are we us, and I hope you and I grow to have the special bond I have with all my kids."<br/><br/>OOC: sorry if I messed up the seating.
