... she heard a sound from stairs:
"Mom, what's going on?"
"Mom? Oh, my God, my son!" Helen breathed
heavily!
Her lungs heaved arduously, as she took a glance through the half open door, and saw the young man, tall, so good looking with grayish blue eyes, tan, identical to her in face and to Jacob in body and height. He had the aura of Jacob, the young Jacob that she had fallen in love with, not the corrupt Jacob of many years passed that New years Eve Party, who was Mr. powerful lawyer!!
He had a full head of blond hair, just the color of her hair!
"I don't know honey!" Jennifer said. "There is a lady here wants something from me!"
Helen thought for a moment on the choice words that Jennifer had used to explain Helen, "WANTS SOMETHING FROM ME!!", and she right away Knew that Jennifer had already connected the dots. This woman was here to ruin her life. She was not a type to share her son, Peter, with his biological mother. It was obvious that she felt threatened by Helen!
Peter came to the door. Helen breathed strenuously. She held on to the door, so she would not fall since her knees were shaking beyond her control. As she breathed laboriously, a stream of agony came out of her mouth.
Peter put his arm around his mother, Jennifer's shoulder. Jennifer's height was up to his shoulder. Helen breathed in everything she could see and hear, so she would never forget!
"I'm so sorry!" Helen blurted out the words with the last strength she had left in her. "I think I'm in a wrong house! Perhaps I'm lost!"
Jennifer had already seen the resemblance of her son and Helen. She also sighed, feeling sorry for Helen, yet being so thankful that she had changed her mind to ruin her life.
"It's okay!" Jennifer said; and closed the door. Helen turned around and ran the three stairs and then towards her car!

As she was getting close to her boss's home to take care of his animals, and mails, and ..., since he was out of town with his boyfriend, she thought about the bad economy, about the rumors that they might close the company, or some would be laid off.
The country was in a big chaos. It was the year 2011. Many people had lost their jobs. The president of the country, which she had voted for, because she was so impressed by his message of hope, had turned out to be doing nothing. She always voted Republican, in fact her ideology was very conservative. In fact, many thought that the President was a very liberal, almost socialist man! He had made the country into a complete plight; the debt of the country had passed fifteen trillions with T!
Steve had lost his job, but it did not matter, since it was close to his retirement anyway and he had a good pension. She thought to herself:
"Did I leave food out for Miss Daisy and Tony?" She could not remember. Her pets were big eaters!!!
