"did you see her?"

"yeah i did unfortunately. she froze though and it gave me enough time to get out of there, before she start to speak to me." andrea shrugged leaving the kitchen, joining fez on the couch.

"when i saw her at the store i barely recognized her." he says shaking his head seemingly at the memory.

"what are you talking about?"

"aliyah. when we went to the store last week i saw her. she looked so different i didn't even know it was her, till you showed me a picture. she looks healthier i guess." he shrugged.

"why didn't you tell me you saw her?"

"it wasn't a big enough deal ma, she bumped into me. acting super weird and shit but i don't know. then you came up and i wasn't worried about her anymore."

"so she saw theo?"

"yeah. i guess she did." he nodded a little as she waited for him to realize what had happened.

"oh shit."

"yea oh fucking shit. fez what the hell! you are supposed to tell me about shit like this. you can't not tell me about seeing her. it doesn't matter if it was a small interaction. she can twist her words fez." she hadn't noticed how she had been pacing around the room trying to brace herself. trying to fight off every single scenario that came to mind.

"just little words ma. theo was trying to get her to shut up. nothing happened okay? it was a simple thing, no more than a minute. stop pacing."

"i can't. she can." she let out a frustrated groan.

"she can do nothing. remember what that lawyer said? she can't do shit. so sit down and calm the fuck down, nothing will happen."

andrea sat down next to him while he brought her closer pulling an arm around her.

"you should have told me." she let out.

"i know. i forgot. that's how inconvenient it was."

she placed her head on his shoulder letting out a sigh.

now that she knew aliyah was here she couldn't do much but wait. she would focus on theo like she had been. 

after all at the end of the day she was his mother.

|-|

"do you remember when we stopped seeing each other?"

fez's breath hitched. of course he had remembered how his stupid mistake ended the best thing that had been going for him.

"yea i thought you would come around. but then i didn't see you until three years later."

"i couldn't. i tried, but i couldn't even call you fez, you had hurt me so much."

"i know ma. i'm sorry. i'm sorry that i ruined the best thing that ever happened to me. i'm sorry i was so stupid."

"i know."

the two were closer without even realizing it her legs in his lap.

"i won't hurt you again."

"i know." she would make sure he wouldn't break her again like he had.

it was why she had leaned in. it was why she had turned his head so that she could look into his eyes.

his chapped lips came closer. staring into the eyes of the person he had once made cry.

he kissed her gently taking her lips to his moving their lips in sync as her arms wrapped around his neck.

the feelings were sudden but familiar. it was overwhelming. her heart was pounding, that was enough for her to continue.

"yay!"

andrea pulled away quickly looking towards the voice.

theo was stood there clapping.

he was supposed to be sleep.

"mama and papá get married now?"

andrea's eyes widened as she headed towards theo.

"theo baby, why aren't you sleep?"

"you not in bed. but is okay you with papá!"

"let's go to bed okay?" she said trying to ignore what had happened.

"no." theo shook his head. "you sleep with papá, you getting married."

"theo we are not getting married." theo's face turned into a frown the smile leaving his lips quickly.

"no married? why not?"

"not right now okay." she brushed it off. they weren't even dating getting marriage was way out of question.

"when?"

"not now okay theo right now we are going to bed say goodnight to papá for real this time." theo frowned but obliged going to say goodnight to fez kissing him on the cheek.

before walking back to andrea lifting his arms wanting to be picked up.

andrea picked him up, nodding to fez. while he mouthed a later.

she knew then that he wanted to talk and that this would all be resolved tomorrow.
