He's a good boy. Now eat before it gets cold.
Tuesday mid-morning, a little woman entered RenTech offices pulling a small two wheeled cart behind her. She provided security with her identification and shamelessly used her son's name to be ushered to Anya Stark's office.

As the executive assistant's desk was currently unattended, she proceeded to let herself into Ms. Stark's office and smile happily at the president and CEO. "Oh, you are so beautiful, more beautiful than the newspapers say, but too thin. So thin. You need to eat."

"Pfft, that is not breakfast. I read the papers. You do important work, you must eat well to keep your strength up."

With a maternal frown of disapproval for her newly acquired employer-in-law's eating habits (it only has to make sense to a mother with affection to lavish), Maria quickly served a steaming meal for four of enchiladas, beans and rice, a container of homemade salsa and a stack of corn tortillas in front of Anya. "I started cooking yesterday to make sure he had food in his little freezer, but I made too much."

	"I always appreciate home cooking," Anya said. Her mother and father weren't exactly cooks. "Is there meat in this?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Maria paused to put her hand over her mouth. With her eyes twinkling, she nodded yes. "Are you like him? No meat? I don't know how I raised a boy who won't eat meat now. There is good pork in the enchiladas. I blame the army. Before, he would eat whatever I put in front of him. He comes home, he won't eat any meat. Not so difficult to cook for now, but a growing boy needs meat."

	Anya sighed and then shook her head. "Oh no. I love meat. Your son keeps trying to serve me meals without meat in it. Have you ever tasted a veggie burger? They're sacrilegious." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"And he's such a good boy, too." Maria sighed and shook her head in exasperation. She went around to sit in the chair in front of the desk and watch with great satisfaction as Anya tried her food. She knew she cooked well, but it was plain food. Not at all what a rich young lady would be accustomed to, not in Maria's world.

"Eat now, before it get cold. Just like Suntano, he comes to see me and spends the mealtimes looking at papers and telling me what I should do. As if I was a little old lady who needs someone to look after her! I managed quite well when he was growing up and when he joined the army. He bought me a house a little while ago, did he tell you? I am staying with him while the workmen paint and do things he told them to do."

Anya eagerly dug into the food. She'd eat anything, but home cooking was her favorite. Her parents didn't cook, but thankfully she had Jarvis around when she was growing up. He had been the only source of home cooking.

"He told me," Anya said after she swallowed a mouthful of food. Her mother would brain her for not having good manners. "He said it was the first thing he did with his salary and bonus."

	"It's beautiful. I'll have a garden again, and grow my own tomatoes." Maria smiled happily. "I wish it was closer to him, but he'll move many more times and I /am/ getting to be an old lady. I'll have my family close by. You'll come for dinner? I love to cook for a family. Perhaps one day soon he'll give me grandchildren to visit and play in my back yard."

Enter one exasperated executive assistant. "Mama, they told you were at reception, but I knew I'd find you in here," he began in a scolding, but loving voice. "Is everything all right? What are you doing...here..."

He should've known. The sight of all the food spread over the boss' desk told the whole story.

"I left you some catalogs," he told his mother with a frown. "I wanted you to pick out the things you like for the new house."

	Maria shrugged and looked unrepentant. "I looked. So many colors. So many ideas. I thought maybe I'd bring you lunch instead, and Miss Stark as well. To say hello." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your mother was nice enough to bring some delicious food in," Anya said. "She just invited me over for dinner one night. You'll schedule that in, right?" Anya smiled at her assistant. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Sunny had been dreading this moment. Not because he was ashamed of his mother. He loved her a great deal. She was a strong, capable woman who could now live the rest of her life in any way she wanted. Travel? He'd happily pay for it. Go to school? He'd help her study. Stay at home and putter around her garden and read all the time? He'd bend over backwards to make it happen.

No, it was because of that look on the boss' face. His mom and Anya Stark were going to get along so well that his personal life and work life were going to cross regularly.

He was a dutiful son and an excellent employee. "Yes ma'am, I'll schedule that in when her house is ready for guests."

	"And that nice boy you're dating." She sat back, pleased at her arrangements. "I'll bring lunch tomorrow again and Suntano will have the date all ready for me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2013-08-25 08:32 pm UTC (link)
	"I will definitely mention it to him," she said. "What else is needed to get the house ready?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	call_me_sunny 2013-08-25 08:36 pm UTC (link)
	"Nothing," Sunny said warily. "The contractor will be done next week. I gave her some catalogs to pick out furniture and curtains and dishes." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"He wants me to start over with everything new. I like my old furniture. I like my old pots and pans. They're old friends. We've cooked so many meals together over the years. But I will look and if I see something I like, I'll tell him."

She smiled again at Anya. "I should leave you to your work. Thank you dear, for humoring an old lady and eating some food. Please enjoy it all. Suntano will bring the dishes home tonight."

	The famous "Stark Up to Something Look" crossed her face. "What's my afternoon look like?" She continued before he could answer. "Reschedule everything." She turned toward Maria. "You can't pick things out from catalogs. Home furnishings must be seen in person before purchase. We'll make an afternoon of it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Reschedule...everything..." he repeated, unable to believe what he was hearing. "You're taking my mother shopping?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2013-08-25 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	Maria was just as startled but touched that Suntano's employer would help her shop for her new house. "Oh dear child, you are as sweet as you are pretty, but please, don't let me interrupt your day." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	anyastark 2013-08-25 09:21 pm UTC (link)
	"Yes," Anya answered Sunny. "I could use the break. Ask your son. Besides, I could use some retail therapy." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Backfire! But maybe he could still put some breaks on this runaway train. At least slow it down. "Give me a few minutes to get things together. I'll be ready to go with the two of you by the time you've finished eating." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"If Miss Stark needs a break, you must need to stay in the office. I'm sure we can look at dishes and furniture as well as anyone else. Don't worry, I have my notebook you gave me. Window and door widths so things can be moved in and installed. Color swatches and notes. He's so organized," she said to Anya. "Just like his aunt. She works for your father's company."

"I'll make your favorite for dinner tonight, Suntano. You'll love it."

	anyastark 2013-08-25 09:44 pm UTC (link)
	Anya smiled. "It' settled. We'll go shopping while you stay here. We'll be back to your place by dinner." "I know," Anya said. "My father and Pepper sing her praises all of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Security! You'll need me for security." Because he couldn't just send his mother off with a Russian princess, right? He was losing this one, and it was time to give up gracefully while he still had a job and appeared to be an adult capable of handling the situation. "I mean, I'll make sure your security is aware that there will be two in the party." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2013-08-25 10:04 pm UTC (link)
	Maria beamed. "Don't worry, we've both shopped without your help in the past, we can do it again." She rose to hug him around the waist, he was so tall her head came barely to his shoulder. "I promise no meat for you, but we will have meat. You shouldn't try to make her a vegetarian like you." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
