Telemundo,” Natasha said.
    “ Since when do you watch Telemundo? I thought you hated soap operas,” Mona said as she fastened the bib around Alexis’ neck.
    “ I did. I probably still do. It’s just that daytime television is just not as interesting as it used to be,” Natasha said. “Trust me, I did not begin watching it by choice,” she added with a smile.
    “ Of course you didn’t and I am a virgin,” Mona said before she fed Alexis a spoonful of the mashed vegetables. “So, I called the office and Stacy said you were staying home today. She seems to think you are under the weather,” Mona said as she went on feeding the baby. She looked at Natasha and shrugged. I don’t know about you, but you look perfectly okay to me. So, what is wrong, mama?” she asked as she gave Alexis another spoonful of her food. Natasha leaned back and took a long deep breath.
    “ That bad, huh?” Mona asked.
    “ Well, not really,” Natasha said.
    “ Come on. Are you going to tell me or are you going to make me guess?” Mona asked.
    “ When did we start talking about me? We haven’t even gone through how you and Leo are,” Natasha said. Mona smiled.
    “ Leo and I are fine. So, why are you at home and not at work?” Mona asked.
    “ Just fine?” Natasha said ignoring her question.
    “ We are more than great. We are perfect,” Mona said smiling.
    “ Good. Have you heard about Rita’s mother?” Natasha asked. Mona raised an eyebrow.
    “ What happened with Lydia?” she asked as she fed the baby another spoonful.
    “ She has Alzheimer’s. We could not find her for weeks and when she was tracked down, it was in Seattle,” Natasha said. Mona looked at her, surprised.
    “ Seattle? What was she doing there?” she asked.
    “ Rita’s biological father lives in Seattle. We think she was going to see him when it all happened,” Natasha said. Mona shook her head.
    “ Wow, I had no idea. I just happened to be around for work and Leo is around for the week...” Her words trailed off and Natasha knew exactly what she was feeling. She was probably giving herself the “I am a horrible person speech.” “I am a terrible friend,” Mona said.
    “ Don’t beat yourself up. The important thing is you are here now and Lydia is getting the help she needs,” Natasha said.
    “ Where is she?” Mona asked.
    “ Right now, Dave had her admitted at the hospital where he works but she will be moved to a care facility soon. Maybe in a few weeks,” Natasha said.
    “ I’m around for a few days. I should go check up on Rita. How is she doing?” Mona asked as she put the bowl on the table and wiped Alexis’ mouth.
    “ How do you think? Her own mother does not know who she is,” Natasha said biting into another bacon strip. Mona shook her head as she finished cleaning the baby up.
    “ I can only imagine. Maybe you can come with me later. You are not going anywhere are you?” she asked.
    “ No, not today,” Natasha said.
    “ Cool, then we could pass by the gallery and see how she is doing,” Mona said. She then looked at Natasha. “Did she ever make up with Dave or are they still having issues?” she asked.
    “ Oh they made up all right. And Dave is planning to propose soon,” Natasha said. Mona’s eyes grew wide.
    “ Really?” she asked.
    “ Oh yeah. He would have done it already but by the time they made up the whole Lydia situation was a full blown saga. It was just not the right time,” Natasha said.
    “ So, about you,” Mona said. Natasha smiled. There was no escaping Mona’s drilling questions.
    “ What about me?” Natasha asked.
    “ Are you going to tell me what’s going on with you or are you going to make me work for it?” Mona asked. Natasha closed her eyes and took a long deep breath.
    “ Mitchell and I had a fight last night,” Natasha said.
    “ What kind of fight? A no sex fight or I can’t deal with you right now fight?” Mona asked.
    “ A sleeping in the guest room fight,” Natasha
