*Hey guys, it's been a minute! I promised to help write the advent calendar so I thought I'd try a chapter of TIMFPTB to see if I could bring back the spark now that we have a date for new S19! Can't promise it'll be regular but I'll try and finish my plan for this story!*

*Tia Sandra's house 3 days later*

"I want nothing to do with you! You lost the right to me and my family when you upped and left all those years ago! I grieved...I... I broke.... my...my whole entire world turned upside down when you DIED!"

"Mi'ja please listen to me" Elena tried to say through sobs and sniffles. "Please, you have every right to sh.."

"I know I have every right to shut you out! I will shut you out for however long I damn well please!" Andy shouted as she flew out the front door, slamming it behind her.

Tia Sandra ran out after her... "Andy.. Andrea! Stop"

"Don't!" She yelled, still storming off towards her car. "Don't even try Tia, you knew! You knew and you didn't tell me! How could .."

"Andy!" She caught up with her just before she managed to get in the car, pulling at her arm to turn her around. "You're not getting in that car like this, not on my watch, not on your Moth"

'That woman... Is NOT my mother!"

Sandra released her tight grip on Andy's arm in deflation. She held her head low and took a deep breath before trying to form her next sentence.

"Sweetie.... can you please come back inside... Let her explain" she lifted Andy's chin up softly.. "Please... do it for you.. do it... for me.."

Andy let go of her car door, slowly shut it, closed her eyes and took the biggest of deep breaths. "You've got five minutes. After that, I'm going home to my actual family." She snarled whilst starting to walk back to the house.

*Herrera - Sullivan household earlier that day*

"Hey babe I thought we were going to Tia Sandra's for dinner later with the kids, why are you suddenly rushing round now, we can sort all off this later when we pick them up?"

Andy was distracted and running around gathering supplies for the children's' days at school and daycare. "Uhh yeah, slight change of plan, Tia Sandra rang me this morning and said something about me needing to go round beforehand to sort some paperwork or something? Figured I'd pop there quickly before work and then we can just focus on family time later.. that ok?"

"Of course, but, slow down before you run in to that coffee table for the third time this week." He chuckled.

"I'm good I'm good! But Thank you for caring."

"Always" he said softly, giving her a peck on the cheek. "I'll drop the kids off and then you can just head straight there."

"Are you sure? Thanks baby, I'll pick them up later because you've got that meeting with Luke at 3 right?"

"Ahh yes I do, sounds like a plan!"

*Tia Sandra's house*

All 3 women were sat awkwardly separated on the couches in the living room, an eery silence continued for what seemed like hours, with nothing but the tick tock of the grandfather clock reminding them all that they weren't in fact in their own versions of a hellish nightmare, but right there in the thick of it.

"Mi'ja.." Elena started.

"Don't call me that, Papi called me that." She snapped.

Elena looked at Sandra, took a deep breath and muttered her daughter's name.
