I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Prince Charming
"Lia wake up!" Jane stormed into the room and pulled the covers off her friend's body. "Prince charming is here."Lia opened one eyes and groaned. "Too bright, it's too bright.""Get up woman, your man is here.""Please let me sleep." Lia begged, shutting her eyes turning on her back. Jane sighed and walked off mumbling under her breath."I'm so sorry, she's fast asleep and it's usually a pain to wake her up in the morning." Jane smiled apologetically. Fernando chuckled and rose to his feet."I don't want to disturb her. Let her sleep. I only came to see if she was awake so we could go for breakfast at the restaurant."'This idiot!' Jane thought and smirked as an idea slipped into her head. "Give me a second, I'll have her ready.""I don't want to.." Fernando tried to stop her but Jane was already making her way into the bedroom.He chuckled again, shaking his head as he took his seat. She was a character, he could see why his wife was friends with her.His wife. This was all crazy, i

"I didn't know you were such a child." Lia commented, taking a bite from her ice-cream.Fernando brought them to the park after leaving the restaurant. She still couldn't wrap her head around this side of him. It was quite strange.He got them some sugar doughnuts the minute they walked in and now they were eating ice-cream and having small talk.All through the time he dated her mother, Lia had never spent more than a few seconds alone with him.Not because he was too scary or too boring, she just never saw any reason to. But now, life was presenting her with so many firsts. It was incredible."What's on your mind?" He asked, pulling her out of her thoughts and she took a bite of her ice-cream again."Just thinking about how life is full of unexpected twists and turns." Her ice-cream was melting fast.Fernando noticed and he brought out a saviet. "Here. That's going to leave a mark."Lia watched wordlessly as he used the saviet to wipe her chest where the ice-cream was starting to le

"I kissed him." Lia confessed and covered her face with the pillow. She still couldn't believe what she had done.Jane's expression showed that she couldn't believe it either. "You kissed him? As in on the lip?"Lia rolled her eyes but didn't remove the pillow from her face. "You know what a kiss is, Jane Austin.""Of course I do I'm just shocked that you, Amelia Lawson, the shy 21 year old actually initiated a kiss."Lia took the pillow off and frowned at her friend. "I don't know if i should take offence or.."Jane shook her head. "I didn't mean it like that, I'm just shocked. What did he say then?""Who?"Jane rolled her eyes. "Fernando, stupid."Lia sighed and buried her head in the pillow again. "I didn't wait to see his expression."Lia raised her head from the pillow and found Jane's mouth was hanging open. It was so funny Lia wanted to laugh but she couldn't. Embarrassment was eating her up big time and she had no one to blame but herself. Why did she have to go and kiss him

Apparently even walking up the stairs took a lot of work.Lia winced as Fernando pressed the cotton wool on her bruised knee. She could die of embarrassment in that moment and no one would blame her. Who couldn't walk up a couple of steps without tripping and falling on their faces? Since when did that become a chore?Liam was probably having a good laugh at her expense after all he had offered to help her up but she had turned him down stubbornly."It's not so bad. It doesn't hurt so much, right?" Fernando asked and Lia could see he was trying very hard to hold his laughter."It's okay." She sighed, her shoulders sagged. "You can laugh at me because I'm so stupid. I mean who falls on the stairs?"Fernando shook his head as his face turned serious. "A lot of people do, babe it's called an accident.""I'm not.."Fernando shook his head cutting her off. "Don't do that. You tripped and you bruised your knee. Who cares if others don't? I'm just angry that you got hurt not because you wer

"What are you doing here man? You should be with your wife." Adam said as Fernando walked into his office.Fernando rolled his eyes as he took his seat, hanging his coat on the hook behind the door."Well? Where is your wife?"Fernando shrugged and ran a hand through his hair. "She left."Adam frowned, not understanding anything. "What do you mean she left? You said she came over to watch a movie with you.""That's because she did. We watched a movie together but she left as soon as it was over."Adam gasped fighting back a laugh. "Damn man, what did you do?"Fernando frowned, struggling not to be offended by his friend's words. "Why do you think I did anything? Couldn't she have done something?"Adam shook his head and hands with a smile. *No man, they're never wrong and it will do you well to remember that."The frown on Fernando's face deepened. "She didn't actually do anything and neither did I.""Well?""She just said she had to go back to her friend's place." Fernando filled Ada
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Hospital
"When are you going back to work?" Jane asked, throwing some of her clothes on the bed.It was a Saturday and every Saturday the girls cleaned up the house, and then cook a big meal since none of them were going out.Lia looked up from her phone and tried to hide her smile but Jane noticed. "Uhn, I don't know if I even have a job anymore. With everything that happened, the wedding and these changes, I've been so occupied and I didn't even take permission.""Well have you reached out to Shane then? He's going to be so disappointed when he realizes you're off the market."Lia rolled her eyes and looked down at her phone with a frown. Why was it taking him so long to reply her message?"Trouble in paradise?" Jane asked in sing song voice as she rose to her feet. "I'm almost done packing."Lia looked up from her phone. "Fernando is ghosting me." She huffed and tossed her phone on the bed. It landed with a thump sound against the bed.Jane dropped a pair of jeans on the bed and looked at h
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Australia
'Come to Australia with me.' Lia sighed and put the plate on the sink shaking her head. Fernando's last words had been playing over and over in her head.The doctor has released her to go and Fernando had insisted he ran more tests just to be sure. It was nice to see him so concerned so she obliged. The doctor ran a few tests, and only then did Fernando call Liam to come and pick them up. Liam had picked them up and Fernando followed her to the door insisting on coming in with her. She kicked him out with a promise to call him if anything happened. ***And now she was alone in Jane’s house.Jane had sent her a text on her way home that she was meeting with her fiancée and wouldn't be home until later. Lia got bored all by herself and decided to tidy up the kitchen. 'Come to Australia with me.’There it was again. It was such a tempting offer but why did he even want her to go with him anyway? Why was he going? He didn't tell her anything so how could he just ask her to come wit

"Why are your eyes closed?" Lia opened her eyes and looked around confused. She thought...."Did you think I was going to kiss you?" He asked leaning even closer and she shook her head, avoiding his eyes. She felt so embarrassed! "Uhm, are you hungry? I told you we made dumplings right?" She made a move to pull away from him but he stopped her with his hands. "Not so fast." He smirked, leaning in to whisper in her ears. "You're not going to get out of this so easily. Remember we haven't talked about the.." Lia placed her hands over his mouth and blushed. "Jane can hear you from the bedroom, the walls are very thin." Fernando chuckled and bit her palm. Lia gasped and pulled her hand back, glaring at him. "Are you five?" She pulled away from him and rose to her feet. Fernando didn't stop her until she tried to walk away. He pulled her back into his lap and she protested. "Let me go." Fernando planted a kiss on her back through her shirt and she squirmed. "You can't keep running

2 days later. "Are you sure about this?" Jane asked, fixing Lia's hair. "You still have enough time before your due date." Lia shook her head. "No Jane, I can feel that something is going to happen sooner or later. And if I'm going into labor, I want to be married first." Lia had called her friends and Fernando to inform them that she'd love to push the wedding forward after her visit with Dr. Baymont. She didn't want her child born out of wedlock and she didn't want to have contractions while walking down the aisle with her father by her side. "Well, you look beautiful." Lydia announced, walking into the room. "Do you have something borrowed?" Lia rolled her eyes. "Do people still stick with that tradition?" Jane gasped looking offended and Lydia shook her head. "Well of course people still follow it. We want to follow it." Lia opened her mouth to protest but Lydia glared at her. "No ifs or buts, you're doing it." She pulled out a packaged box from her bag and stretched it o

4 months later…."You started without me." Lia remarked, sitting down on the seat looking offended. Sebastian Reynolds smiled and held his hands up. "I'm sorry. It's just a cup of coffee, today has been a long day." Lia sighed. "Tell me about it," as she spoke, she rubbed her belly and Sebastian smiled. "How's the baby?" He asked, taking a sip of his coffee and she smiled, in the big way she always did whenever anyone asked about the baby. "Growing stronger everyday. I think I felt a kick earlier today at the shop but I'm not sure." Lia had opened a little coffee shop, BREW where she sold coffee and finger food. Fernando had been against it because of the baby but with a little push, she had been able to convince him. He sometimes helped her at the shop when he wasn't at the restaurant with Adam. Sebastian nodded. "When is your due date again? Are you sure you should still be working there?" Lia rolled her eyes and signaled to the waiter. "Dad, I'm pregnant not handicapped. I c
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Bitter truth
"i'll be in the kitchen Lia. It's nice to see you again Ms. James." Lydia greeted and walked off. Lia didn't miss the symphatetic smile she sent her way and she appreciated it. Why did her mother decide to show up at such a time?"Do you want to come in?" Lia asked, looking down at the window. Anything to avoid her mother's judging look. "I asked you a question." Janet shot back and Lia sighed. "Fine then, I'll sit because I'm tired and hungry." She took a seat and crossed her legs, leaning back against the couch. Janet eyed her for a while before walking over to her. She stood in front of her for a split second before she spoke. "So you're not going to answer my question?" Lia opened her eyes and glared at Janet. "I'm trying to decide if I actually owe you an explanation. I haven't seen you since you kicked me out of my husband's home and told me that my said husband is actually my father so no, I'm not going to answer your question." Janet stared at her in silence, the clock h
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Complicated
Fernando leaned back and groaned, pushing the plate away. "I have missed this so much.” Lia raised her eyebrows. “Have you….really?”Fernando nodded. “I didn’t realize how much I had until I ate that.” Lia’s face fell and she nodded. “Oh, it’s the food. I see.” “Yeah, I'm telling you. You are a mean cook.” he smiled and she forced a smile too but he saw through it. “Did I say something wrong?” Lia shook her head. “No, you didn’t. It’s fine. I’m just…never mind.” She struggled to rise to her feet. “I will just clear these up.” she reached for his plate and placed it on hers, “Uhn, no, I’m not letting you leave like that.” He reached for her hand before she could take another step. “What did I do?”She shook her head. “Nothing Fernando, you did nothing.” “Then what did I say?” “Nothing Fer, I told you.” “Are you going to actually not tell me what I said?” he asked and she sighed, tugging for him to let go. He did. Lia sighed. “Look Fer, the fact that I actually have to tell you.
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Moving Forward
"How have you been?" Fernando asked and Lia eyed him for a while. Was that really his first question? Lia shrugged. "I'm doing okay. Just moody half the time and sometimes, I can't understand why." Fernando's eyes filled with concern and worry and Lia hoped he'd ask the question that was really on his mind. "How's the baby doing?" Lia sighed. "The baby is growing bigger everyday. I thought I felt him kick yesterday but I think it's still too soon to tell." "Him?" He asked with raised eyebrows and Lia took a moment to drink him in. It had been so long since she had gotten the chance to look at him like this. He didn't look different from the last time she saw him, which was a few hours ago in the bathroom. She looked away and her gaze fell on her lap. She had put on some weight. "I can't call the baby an it and I really want a boy." He just smiled and Lia rolled her eyes. "This is the part where you tell me what you want the baby to be." He flushed and she laughed. "Well, I d
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Awkward Moments
"Oh no you don't." Lia scoffed and ran after him. She opened the door expecting to find him but he was long gone. "Coward." She muttered under her breath as she walked back towards the place she knew her friends would be. Surely enough they were right there. Lydia was taking pictures of some cute onesies while Jane was staring into space. Lia sighed and walked up to her. Jane looked up as soon as she got to her and smiled. "Hey, where have you been? I was getting worried." Lia rolled her eyes and laughed. Trust Jane to worry even when Lia had screwed up. "I'm sorry about earlier, I'm not handling any of these changes well. You didn't do anything wrong and I shouldn't have shouted at you." Jane scoffed and tugged Lia's hand until she sat down beside her. She looked into her eyes and shook her head. "You don't owe me any apology. I should have understood that everything that's been going on is a bit too much. Perhaps I shouldn't have pushed for this shopping spree anyway. The only
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Big Decision
"Don't tell me she's still in bed?!" Lydia yelled, tossing her bag on the sofa. She kicked off her shoes and crossed the room, stomping towards the bedroom.. Jane scoffed and waved her hands. "Does she ever leave the bed? I swear at this point we need an intervention." "You don't need an intervention, I'm fine." Lia announced her presence, walking out of the room. She almost bumped into Lydia on her way out. "Hey girl, how come you are here so early?" Lydia opened her mouth to reply but nothing came out. Lia chuckled and shook her head, walking away. Her steps were not uneasy this time or unsure, she actually seemed to be in a good mood for a change. "Is that a smile I see?" Lydia asked, running towards Jane and she gasped, glaring at Lydia. "Don't you dare creep up on me like that again. I almost had a heart attack." She scoffed and crossed her arms against her chest as she looked back at Lia's retreating form. "Yes. I think something good is going to happen today. She's been li

"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.
I MARRIED MY MOTHER’S LOVER AS A STAND-IN BRIDE Janet Visit
Adam eyed Janet and Fernando who he had just called out. "I'll leave you two alone." He pated Fernando's shoulder on the way out of the living room. "I'll be in the office if you need me." Fernando nodded and walked into the living room taking a seat. Janet her eyed for a while and sat down too. They settled into the silence around and then Janet sighed. "I came to see how you're doing." Fernando let out a dry laugh. "How do you think I'm doing?" Janet shrugged. "Well, if that's your reply then not so good I guess." "Have you even reached out to your daughter since everything happened?" Fernando asked and Janet shook her head. "I'm still mad about her moving on with you so fast after I left." Fernando scoffed. "That's really what you're upset about right now? in this situation, I honestly thought you'd be siding with your daughter after hearing what actually happened between us. I mean it was my fault she even got married to me in the first place." "Those are just semantics Fe
