just a teenager with no responsibilities,” Rachel said, trying to explain her current situation.
    “I know you and I want you for you, not for who you were back then or who you are right now.”
    “I’ll let you know tomorrow. I need time to think about all of this,” Rachel promised.
    “Rach, can I ask you a question? Do you still love Vinnie?”
    “Of course I do. He is the father of my children. I told him that as well. Anything else other than him being Jay and Jeff’s father, I don’t know about anymore. I’m confused.”
    “Well, think about what I said and call me. I’m heading back to the office,” Carson asked, as he got up out of his seat to pay the check.
     
     

Chapter Five
     
    Rachel always loved the smell of fresh cut grass. Living in the city she rarely got the chance to experience it. She always looked forward to visiting the ballpark to watch her future baseball stars and enjoy the fresh air. The boys loved baseball so much that Vinnie decided to get them season tickets to the Phillies. Rachel knew he was a great father; he was just a horrible husband. She made her way towards the boys on the field. The game didn’t start yet, and they were just warming up. Rachel made sure she went home and changed first. Jay and Jeff hated when she went to their game in her business suits and heels. They thought she looked snotty and professional. They wanted her to dress like the other mothers. To make them happy she threw on a pair of black tights, a Chase Utley t-shirt and her Nikes.
    “Hey guys, how’s it going?” Rachel called out to them.
    “Hi Mom,” Jay and Jeff said in unison.
    “Did you see Dad?” Jeffrey asked.
    “Not yet.”
    “He’s over there,” Jason pointed out.
    Rachel looked over and saw that Vinnie was talking with one of the mothers. They exchanged looks. Her’s was more like, “I know what you’re up to.” Vinnie’s look was more like, “You’re crazy.”
    “Mom, are you with us?” Jason was now yelling.
    “Yeah, yeah.”
    “Did you remember my cleats?”
    “Yes. Here they go.”
    “Thanks, Mom.”
    Vinnie started to walk toward Rachel and the boys. He had this coolness about him like John Travolta in Grease. All the mothers were staring at him; they might as well have had their tongues hanging out of their mouths.
    “Doesn’t your mother look beautiful?” Vinnie asked his sons.
    “Yes she does.”
    “Okay. Get out on the field and practice,” Vinnie said addressing Jay and Jeff. Then he turned to Rachel.
    “I saw you looking at me.”
    “Yeah, because Jeff asked if I saw you.”
    “It was more than that.”
    “Yeah, whatever. Did you get her number?” Rachel asked sarcastically.
    “You think I want everyone and they want me. Contrary to your beliefs, I only want you but I’m not begging anymore.”
    “Then sign the divorce papers.”
    “No! I know that you don’t want to divorce me.”
    “Get over yourself. These women here might throw themselves at you, but I’m not.”
    “Wait for me after the game. I want to talk to you.”
    “Fine. I’ll be on the bleachers,” Rachel said wondering what in the world he wanted now.
    The game was very exciting. Rachel screamed and jumped up and down when Jason hit a home run. Jason and Jeffrey are fraternal twins. They are completely opposite in every aspect. Jason is athletic and a ladies’ man like Vinnie. Jeffrey is more like Rachel. He says what’s on his mind but he’s actually more reserved. They both share the love of baseball but Jason is more into it. Jeffrey feels like he is forced to play and would rather stay home and play video games all day.
    As the game came to an end, Rachel waited on the sidelines for Vinnie and the boys. While Vinnie was gathering all the equipment, the boys asked if they could go get ice cream with their cousin Matthew, Vinnie’s sister Nancy’s son.
    “If it’s okay with Aunt Nancy, you can go,” Rachel replied.
    Nancy approached Rachel as she was speaking to
