Sophia Cena watched as the children practiced their singing in the church choir. She had come to drop off some bake goods. But her main focus was on the young blond girl playing the piano. She was a beautiful girl and probably about 23 years old. Sophia was a widow with three grown sons, John was 32, Mike was 29 and Evan was 27. John and Mike were both married but Evan was single and Sophia thought the young girl would be perfect for her son.

"Which one is your grandchild?" A dark haired woman asked Sophia noticing her watching them.

"Oh, I only have one grandchild, Sophie, she is six months old." Sophia replied. "How about you?"

"Oh, my daughter is the pianist. She isn't married." Alexis Shaw replied.

"Really? I have a son, Evan, who is single. They would be perfect." Sophia took out a photo of Evan and showed Alexis. She had played matchmaker for John and it was only right that she do the same for Evan. She tried to do it for Mike but he went against her wishes and married someone she didn't really approve of.

"Oh, Kelly doesn't like me butting in."

"Neither does Evan."

They continued to talk about their children. Both agree to talk to their children about maybe going on a date. From everything Alexis said, Sophia thought Kelly was indeed the right one for Evan. Later that night, Sophia talked to Evan about going on a date with Kelly.

"Maybe you could just meet her for coffee." Sophia said as they were in the kitchen. Everyone was coming over for a family dinner.

"Mom, you know I don't want to be set up." Evan replied. He wasn't looking to get married or anything. He was enjoying being single but his mother was obsessed with having a grandson and getting him married.

John and Melanie had given her a granddaughter, Sophia Rose, but she wanted a grandson to carry on the Cena name and it looked like Mike and Eve weren't going to have her any. They had been trying but still nothing and all of Sophia's sons wanted to please their mother and give her the grandson she wanted.

"She seems nice, Evan. Just for coffee, do this for your mother." Sophia knew he would give in. All her sons followed what she said and it was the way she liked it.

"Fine. Just for coffee." He knew that she wasn't going to give up until he agreed and how bad could it really be.

"Thanks my son."

She walked out knowing this would end up the way she wanted it. She was determined to get Evan married and to get a grandson. She thought that John and Melanie would have the grandson but they had a girl instead. And then she thought maybe Mike and Eve would give her one but it looked like Eve wasn't doing her job.

"Mom, we're here." Mike said when he and Eve came in.

"Oh, my son. How are you?" Sophia hugged her son. "Eve." She said with distain.

"Sophia." Eve said back. She knew that Sophia didn't like her but tolerated her because of Mike.

"John and Melanie not here yet?" Mike asked.

"No, they are running late. But they will be here, John knows this is family dinner night." Sophia knew John and Melanie would be there. Melanie was the daughter-in-law she liked because Melanie did what she asked and had given her a grandchild.

"Here we are." John said walking in. "Sorry about being late, Sophie was a little fussy."

"That's alright son, your daughter comes first." Sophia hugged John and then greeted Melanie who came in with Sophie. "Melanie, how are you dear?"

"Fine, Sophia. Thank you for asking." Melanie hugged her mother-in-law and then the others.

"Sophie asleep?"

"Yes. Sorry, she was a little fussy."

"Not a problem, dear. I have the travel yard all set up for her."

"Thank you, Sophia. That is very nice of you." Melanie went into the living room and put the baby down and then heading back into the kitchen. "Sophia, can I help with anything?"

"You can cut the onions for the salad, you know how I like them." Sophia handed her the onions, a knife and cutting board.

"Can I help?" Eve asked know she had to ask or never hear the end of it.

"Yes, you can cut the tomatoes. You know how."

Eve started cutting like she knew Sophia wanted. She hated that Sophia was like she was. Sophia controlled everything. She handled the garage business and the money. Eve knew today was pay day for the boys that was the reason for the family dinner. Sophia paid them in cash every week.

"Dinner is ready boys." Sophia said as she finished setting everything on the table.

The group sat down and had a nice dinner. The conversation was pleasant until Sophia brought up her need for a grandson.

"So, Mike, do you and Eve have anything to tell me?" Sophia hoped that Eve had managed to get pregnant. She was convinced that there was something wrong with Eve.

"No, mother, Eve is not pregnant yet." Mike replied.

"What are you waiting for? Mike, did you have Eve checked?"

"It's not my fault we are not having a baby." Eve said very loudly. "Maybe it is Mike's fault."

"Nonsense. Cena men have never had a problem. My husband, Anthony and I had no problem getting pregnant with the boys. Melanie and John had no problem getting pregnant. I think it is you. You should go get checked."

"I'm not listening to this anymore. I'm not the reason." Eve stormed out of the room and upstairs.

"Let me go check on her." Melanie said getting up. She walked upstairs and found Eve in Mike's old room. "Eve, are you okay?"

"No. Why can't she understand that we are trying? That is all Mike talks about. Having a grandson for her. It's not my fault."

"Eve, you know how she is. Just come back downstairs and don't give her the satisfaction."

"Melanie, how can you do what she wants all the time?" Eve had always wondered why.

"It is just how it is. This is marriage. I want to make my husband happy and by extension his mother."

"Yeah." Eve wiped her eyes and got up. She knew that Melanie was right. This was what Sophia wanted. She was determined to break Eve down and get her to leave Mike. "Let's go back."

Both women walked back downstairs to find Sophia paying the boys for the week. Eve hated that Sophia did that. She wished that she would pay them with a real check but Sophia did it that way so she could control the money. She also gave them groceries and other things as part of their wages from the garage. It was one of the many things Eve hated about the family she married into but she had fallen in love with Mike before she knew everything about their family. She was convinced that Sophia was involved in something illegal. But she never said anything because of how much she loved Mike.

"So, I have found the perfect girl for Evan." Sophia said as they had coffee and dessert.

"Oh, where?" John asked.

"I saw her today when I was delivering bake goods to the church. I think she is the new pianist." Sophia said as she cut everyone a piece of cake.

"Oh, I met her the other day. Her name is Kelly and she is a music teacher at Wilmont Academy." Melanie said as she held Sophie. "She is very nice."

"See, Evan, she is perfect. Thank you for agreeing Melanie."

Eve rolled her eyes at Sophia's statement. She hated when Sophia would go out of her way to say how great Melanie was and how horrible she was. Mike put his hand over hers and smiled. He was the reason she put up with Sophia. She loved him more than anything and was not going to give Sophia the satisfaction of breaking them up.
