Fernando sighed as soon as he said that and closed his eyes."Fer," Lia started but he shook his head. "You guys are acting like children. And why are you so concerned if she magically disappeared and is back, Lia? Shouldn't you be happy to have your mother back?" Lia blinked repeatedly, her eyes watering. Fernando had never shouted at her before—well not since they became a real couple he hadn't. She leaned back in her chair and just stared."You owe us an explanation," Fernando said, eyeing Janet and she gulped.She nodded. "Yes I admit I disappeared on the wedding day but I swear it wasn't my fault." She paused and eyed her daughter then Fernando. Both of them were quietly watching her. "I got into an accident and I was in a coma for a very long time. I just recently woke up. I was surprised to hear you talk about a funeral or a tombstone. I have no idea about that." Lia blinked back tears and just stared. It was Fernando that asked the question she was desperate to ask. "Why

Fernando sat up on the bed and took of his shirt. He placed it beside him on the bed and rested his head against the pillow again. He eyed the spot where his shirt was, the same spot where Lia used to sleep when Janet wasn’t around. He wants nothing more than to have her in his arms, like it used to be. He still didn’t understand why they had to deny themselves for a woman who left him at the altar.Lia was really the only reason why he hadn’t acted out to Janet because she was having all these ideas in her head about them getting back together. So much time had passed, did she really think he would wait? Was he supposed to?If he had met and married some other woman, would he also have to pretend? Couldn’t Janet see Lia as some other woman and not her daughter? He couldn’t sleep anymore because Lia wasn’t in bed with him. Before, just knowing she was lying beside him gave him peace but now that she was downstairs in that guestroom with Janet, he was restless.As he closed his eyes t

"Get my keys in the room." After saying that, Fernando bent down to pick up Lia from the ground. Janet watched as he lifted her daughter in his arms, his face incredibly sullen and she took off, running towards the bedroom. The master's bedroom where she would be moving back into as soon as Lia left. She opened the door to the bedroom and snatched his keys from the table, also picking up his phone. Wouldn't it be faster to get a doctor to them, rather than have him drive all the way? As she left the room, she dialed the doctor's number on his phone and informed him of their emergency. By the time she reached the two again, Fernando had laid Lia on the bed and was leaning over her, his whole body shaking. She eyed him for a while and touched his shoulders as she leaned down to drop his keys and his phone. She walked out of the room and bumped into Lia's bag that was on the floor. The contents spilled out of the bag and Janet sighed, kneeling to pick them out. "This girl. How coul

“I must warn you; the gel is pretty cold at first,” Lia nodded and moaned in discomfort as the doctor rubbed the gel on her belly. It had been two weeks since she had moved out of Fernando’s house and in those two weeks, she hadn’t seen Fernando at all. She didn’t know if she still had the right to call him after all he was her father. Their relationship was a forbidden one. Her mother also had been distant. She hadn’t even reached out to check on her daughter and grandchild. Was it because she was mad about her daughter and her lover having something together? Lia didn’t know. Every day was harder than the previous one but she kept fighting and pushing. Thankfully, her friends were by her side. Fernando was still staying at Adam’s place. Well, she didn’t know for sure since she hadn’t been there since, but Adam had mentioned it and Lydia stylishly added it in conversation once in a while. What good could come out of her seeing Fernando anyway? What good would it do? It wouldn’t

"Hey babe.” Lydia called and Adam raised up his head, a big smile on his face. "Yeah?" "Have you seen Lia's sonogram? It's beautiful! I can't wait for her to give birth." Lia rolled her eyes and smiled at Adam. "She's exaggerating, it's not like that at all." Adam eyed her for a while, a smile playing on his lips. "Why do I feel like you're not giving yourself enough credit?" Lia shrugged smiling, although it didn't quite reach her eyes. "I don't know why you'd think that." "Yeah, she's being modest." Lydia said, stretching out something to him. "Lyd—" Lia made a move to grab it but Adam shook his head. "I just want to see, Lia." Lia hesitated for a while and then shook her head. "Fine but it's not all that." "Let me be the judge of that." He said as he examied the picture in his hands. At first he didn't get it but then, it hit him. "Wow, this is really beautiful Lia, I'm so proud of you." Lia flushed and hugged Adam, sniffling. "Thank you, that means alot coming from you.
