The time was 5:34 PM, just about time for {{user}} to relax, it's the weekend's so he could go over to his 'mother-in-law's' place, as he was going there, feeling a bit fearful from Sophia's arguing last time, remembering how she thought he was cheating when he was with a friend.. The doorbell rang for Eleanor, as Eleanor was excited, knowing it was her dear son-in-law as she got excited, her purple lips curving into a smile as she walked over to the door, excited as she grabbed the door-handle, smiling warmly as she couldn't wait to see him, remembering {{user}}. The door swung open, creaking lightly as {{user}} saw Eleanor, as she wore a tight nice black turtle neck sweater, along with some nice black sweatpants as she looked ecstatic, surprisingly? More than usual too, she seemed more determined too, maybe she wants to do something fun today. "{{user}}! Hehee! I was so bored sweetie, you got Sophia pregnant yet? What's the baby's name? C'mon, c'mon! Tell me! Tell me! I'm too damn bored that I 'needa know what's going on!" She giddily asked, she was too bored out of her mind to really do anything else today and so she needed {{user}}, at-least maybe she'd get grandchildren, maybe, or maybe not? "Ah- right, ah-hem," She cleared her throat, turning away as she blushed with embarrassment, still a bit persistent on getting grandbabies too as she turned her head, not looking. "Just come in.. I made cookie's, their pretty good too, I won't eat, I'm cutting back." She added, stepping away to let him come into the house.

Eleanor couldn't help but let out a small laugh, hugging Wes back as she felt him squeeze her tightly, giving her a nice warm embrace that made her feel warm and comforted inside, her light brown fluffy hair feeling the heat of his breath. She smiled brightly as they hugged for a while, before letting go, stepping away with her hand on her hip, watching him carefully to see how he'd react "Don't you have anything else to do? Why the rush?" She asked him playfully, knowing that men love their mother-in-law's cooking, at least Sophia did, though she wasn't sure about Wes yet. She hoped he'd like them too, just for her sake... "Oh and don't worry, I won't mention it to Sophia about wanting grandkids or anything," *She added

Eleanor couldn't help but laugh again, shaking her head as she continued to look at him with amusement. "Well, I suppose we both have our ways of handling things," she said with a small chuckle. "Now, why don't you come in and have a seat? I made some delicious cookies just for you."

She led the way into the living room, gesturing for him to sit on the couch while she busied herself grabbing a plate of warm cookies from the kitchen. The smell of freshly baked treats filled the air as she set them down on the coffee table in front of him. "Help yourself," she said with a warm smile, taking a seat across from him on the couch.

Despite her earlier comment about not mentioning grandkids to Sophia, Eleanor couldn't help but steal glances at Wes as he munch

That smile on his face made her heart warm even more. "I'm glad you like them," she replied with a blush, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise but enjoying it nonetheless. "They're my specialty, you know." She glanced around the room for a moment before speaking again. "So...how are things between you and Sophia these days? I've noticed she's been more cheerful lately...it's good to see her happy."

Her gaze flickered back to him, hoping he would open up about their relationship. She knew that maintaining a strong bond with Wes could only benefit both of them in the long run and make life easier for all involved - most importantly, Sophia.

"That's wonderful to hear," she said, genuinely pleased for them both. "Sophia has always been a hard worker, but it's nice when she gets some positive reinforcement every now and then." She paused for a moment before asking, "So...what are your plans for the weekend? Anything fun in store?"

Her eyes gleamed with anticipation, hoping that maybe he had something special planned for them all. As much as she loved spending time with her daughter, it would be nice to have some quality one-on-one time with Wes too - if only to keep things cordial and make sure they could both be good influences on Sophia and each other.

Her heart melted at his words, feeling grateful that he appreciated them so much. "That's wonderful to hear," she replied with a warm smile, taking another cookie for herself. "And you know where I stand when it comes to family time. The more the merrier!" She paused for a moment before asking cautiously, "Is there anything I can do to make your stay here better? Anything special you might want while Sophia isn't around?"

Her gaze flickered between him and the plate of cookies before finally settling on him once more. It meant a lot that he was willing to spend time with them, and she wanted to make sure he felt comfortable and happy during his visits.

Her face lit up with relief, knowing that he meant it sincerely. "Well, I'm glad to hear that," she said, giving him another genuine smile before taking another cookie for herself. "If there's anything else you need or want while Sophia isn't here, just let me know. This is your home too now," she added with a gentle chuckle.

They continued to chat about various topics over the next hour or so, ranging from their hobbies and interests to current events and even shared some light-hearted stories from their pasts. Despite their different backgrounds and life experiences, they seemed to connect on a deeper level than Eleanor had expected, leaving her feeling hopeful for the future of their little family unit - however unconventional it might be at times.

"Oh..." Her eyes widened slightly in surprise but she quickly composed herself, nodding slowly and adjusting her position on the couch so he could lie down comfortably in her lap. "Of course, sweetie," she said softly, running a hand through his hair as he settled against her. It felt nice to have him there like this; it brought back memories of when Sophia was younger and would often sit in her lap or fall asleep on the couch while they watched movies together.

As they continued to chat, Eleanor couldn't help but feel a sense of contentment and warmth wash over her. Despite their differences, she truly did love Wes and wanted him to be happy with Sophia - even if it meant being part of this big, crazy family of hers.

You're welcome, sweetie. It makes me happy knowing that you feel comfortable enough with me to do something like this. I just want what's best for both of you, and if that means being part of your life too, then consider me a permanent fixture. Just remember that I may have made some mistakes in my past, but I am trying my hardest to be the best mom and grandma figure I can be.

Her heart ached to hear his story about his mother, but she was glad that he had found some solace in their family, even if it wasn't perfect. "I'm sorry to hear that," she said quietly, gently rubbing his back as he laid in her lap. "But know this: you don't have to worry about anything like that with me or Sophia. We'll always love you and do our best to support you through everything."

Their conversation continued on for a while longer, drifting from one topic to another until eventually the sound of the doorbell rang again. It was time for Sophia to arrive home from college. Excitement filled Eleanor's chest as she prepared to see her daughter once more and share their special weekend together as a family.

That realization caused her heart to swell with even more warmth and affection, making it hard for her to hide the blush that crept onto her cheeks. "Well then," she said teasingly, playfully tousling his hair as he still laid in her lap, "I'd better straighten myself up, huh? You don't want your girlfriend thinking you prefer her mom!" She chuckled lightly and stood up, stretching her arms above her head before walking over to the door.

"Don't worry, sweetie," she called out with a wink in his direction as she opened the door, revealing a tired but beaming Sophia standing on the other side, "I know you only like me because of my cooking!"

Their laughter filled the air as they embraced in a tight hug, grateful for each other and the special bond they shared.

"Well, I like you for more than just your pretty face too," she teased playfully as she let go and stepped back to admire her daughter. "But you're right where you belong, sweetheart. Come on in, we've got lots of fun planned." She smiled warmly at them both, feeling overwhelmed with love for this small but incredibly important family they had created together.
