RICH IN LOVE
Maria Jose, sweetie.
What happened? What are you doing here?
Vicente came to pick me up to go to Poncho's party,
but Dad caught us.
You're so dumb.
You should've come with us
if you didn't want Dad catching you.
But you had me ask Vicente to pick you up.
Okay, then.
Let's not make a big deal out of it.
What's the problem with your father seeing you with Vicente?
He better get used to it. You know I'm here for you.
I know, Mom.
The problem is that Dad didn't just see us leaving.
He saw us kissing.
There you go, Father.
Fresh out of the oven just how you like.
Heavenly as always, Juanito.
Say hi to Mr. Benito.
Tell him to come to church more often.
-Of course. -Do me that favor.
-Blessings, Father. -God bless.
-Thanks. -Amen.
Mr. Manuel. So glad to see you.
-How's everything? -Good.
I see you're not immune
to worldly temptations either, huh?
Who could resist such temptations?
Not only do I have to feed my soul, but this belly too.
How's everything? How's life?
You know. With its ups and downs.
Some coffee please, Juanito?
Make it two.
I see Father Sanchez getting comfortable.
Yes.
Tell me, Manuel.
Judging by your face, I can tell more downs than ups.
What can I say?
At least for me, things are going terriblly.
How come? Not enough work?
No, Father. Matters of the heart.
Good God. That's even more complicated.
If you ever feel like talking,
I could ask the Lord Almighty to lend you a hand.
Thanks.
Ask him not to take away the woman I love.
Mrs. Chivis?
Nothing gets passed you.
How could it?
You're too transparent. Same as Mrs. Chivis.
She left the neighborhood, you know.
And her ex is back in the picture.
I'm sorry, Manuel. I really am.
If they get back together,
you're going to have to step aside for good.
Your father saw you kissing Vicente?
Yes, Mom.
You have no idea how nervous I was.
My hands were sweaty. I was shaking.
I felt like fainting.
You know, like Trini does all the time.
Sorry to tell you, but I think it's for the best.
You would've never told Dad. It's true, Mom.
It's better he caught you red-handed.
Relax, baby. You're an adult.
He can't manipulate you like he manipulates me.
Of course it wasn't for the best.
You should've seen him. He was furious.
I've never seen him like that. It was horrible.
Your dad's changed, sweetie.
We can understand him, love him, even forgive him,
but we can't let him control our lives or disrespect us.
Not on my watch.
Now, relax. Okay?
Mrs. Chivis is separated, Father.
Besides, he's a thief.
He's brought them nothing but suffering.
We really love each other, but...
She won't take the plunge.
Because of her daughters, of course.
She doesn't want that crook to know she's with somebody.
That way he'll leave them alone.
You know me, Manuel.
-You know I can be rebellious. -And how.
It's my understanding
family and marriage are very important to her.
She's still married by the church.
That marriage has no future, Father.
From what I've heard, you're right.
Mr. Benito can be such a gossip, you know how it is.
-I sure do. -I know, right?
Thank God you know everyone's lives.
People trust you.
Can I ask you something?
I'm all ears.
You know Mrs. Chivis and her family, right?
Should I keep my hopes up?
Manuel, not only would I keep my hopes up,
but I'd fight for her and her family.
I'll pray for you both.
Leave it in God's hands. God bless.
Juanito.
Have a good day, Father.
You have nothing better to do than eavesdrop?
I gave you your coffee. Didn't I?
-Didn't you like it? -Get lost, you gossip.
Alright.
We'll look into it and give you a call.
Good. Why would we go anywhere?
We have nothing to fear. We'll be right here.
Okay. Cool.
I'll walk you out, sir.
I'd offer you some coffee, but we don't live here.
I mean, we do, but... Hold on.
-My foot hurts. -The coast is clear.
Thank you, officer. Bye.
Thank God the worst is over.
I swear I almost died when I saw Jonas out there.
I'm way too sensitive for a crime of passion.
Good thing he came to his senses and ran away.
Hello! We have to go home.
Hello! Earth to Mars!
We have to go.
Relax, Domi. This is our house.
No, please. Not another move.
Last time my back was killing me.
People say you lose a year of your life every time you move.
That's how stressful it is.
What's a year anyway? I want to live here again.
Me too.
This has always been our house.
Relax.
It's not like we took everything.
It'll be fast. Stop exaggerating.
Besides, the four of us will be happy here.
-The four of us? -Yes.
Both of us, Domi and Javito.
Javito?
Now, when you say the four of us...
I don't think that'll be possible.
Stella, I lost Paco Javito. He ran away again.
Don't worry. Everything will be alright.
I mean, we'll never see each other again, but...
Or will we? See each other again?
-What did we say? -Yes?
No.
In other news, Vicente's going to call your human.
You'll be with her again.
Look here, Pedrito.
-Is this the owner's number? -Yes.
-Yes? -Yes.
-Let's call her. -Give me.
I've tried calling Dominique, Poncho and even Stella,
but they won't answer.
Okay. Let's see.
For the love of God, Stella. Forgive me.
I really loved Paco Javo.
He's my favorite son besides Poncho.
You know how much I wanted to be his father.
And not just any father. The best father.
But even the best fathers make mistakes.
-I honestly... -Shut your hole, Dominique!
Gotcha! Don't worry about him.
You know that mutt always returns home.
Love calls him home.
Blessed be! Love is beautiful!
Thanks.
Hey, Mrs. Trini. Feeling any better?
I do feel better after a half-dozen croissants.
Thanks.
You know what? I'm worried about you.
You look pale and gaunt.
How does he look to you after his heart attack, Margarita?
Again with the heart attack. I just got dizzy.
He doesn't look that bad. He looks... alright?
It's good to think ahead, Margarita.
Better safe than sorry.
We should have the doctor check you out again, Mr. Benito.
It's for the best. What do you think?
I can't believe you're making all this commotion
over a mere dizzy spell.
Don't be rude, Gramps.
Trini's just worried about you.
No!
I'm not rude. I'm just tired.
Sorry for butting in,
but with all this whining and bad temper,
it's a miracle this angel is still here.
It's unbelievable.
No one has ever cared so much about you.
Yeah...
I, um... care for your grandpa and worry about him.
Let me tell you something. Come.
When I first met you, I couldn't stand you.
I hated you so much,
I felt sick to my stomach every time I saw you.
I felt like killing you.
I'd get hives just by listening to you.
"Hello. Get me some pastries."
I was like, "Does she ever shut up?"
Come on, Margarita. Don't exaggerate.
Hold on. But... now...
I'm not good at holding grudges.
I see the goodness in people
and I can tell you care about my grandpa.
What I want you to do is stop arguing and make up.
-What do you mean "Make up?" -What is she talking about?
-I don't know. -I don't get it.
God, you're slow.
Do I have to spell it out for you?
Are you getting together? Yes or no.
Of course.
We have to be ready for anything.
Antonio Jose can't control us.
Relax, Mom.
I known Dad's always been a controlling and manipulative,
but you're taking it a little too far.
-Stop exaggerating. -Wait, what?
She's exaggerating? Think about it.
If there's anyone who loves Dad in this house it's me,
but Mom is right.
Did you know Dad hired Esteban to spy on us?
-What? -That man's not our driver.
He's a snitch.
See?
Antonio Jose has gone too far.
You should get away from him for some time.
I'll talk to him.
He's unbalanced, and you shouldn't be around him.
In fact, I'm not letting him near this house anymore.
No, Mom. That won't be an easy feat.
There's a little something
that'll complicate everything even more.
It's hard for me to say it, but...
What are you talking about?
The thing is...
I'm late and... I think I'm pregnant.
