Surely, they were just seeing things, that wasn't there mothers standing in the doorway watching them have sex. How long had they been there? How much had they saw? Why were they even there? These were all the questions running through Rick and Mia's brains.

"What are y'all doing here??" Mia exclaimed.

"Don't yell at us young lady. I am still your mother" Deborah said.

Mia rolled her eyes, "Okay, but what are y'all doing here?"

"Well your mom tricked me into coming, I thought we were going on a vacation to celebrate the end of a beautiful celebration. How we ended up here... I have no idea!" Lisa said with an attitude.

"Honestly I was worried about you Mia. I wanted to make sure, he didn't hurt you" her mother explained.

"Only thing I'm hurting is this ..." Rick started to say but Mia hit him.

"Not now, but mom I'm fine. This is my husband, he is not going to hurt me. Where do you come up with this stuff? I know you didn't fly 4 hours, just to check on me. What's really good? Wait, before you explain anything else, we need to get dressed. This is getting pretty awkward. Please close the door and wait in the living room" she demanded. Once they left, she jumped up pissed. "What the fuck?? Like seriously, I can finally get my groove on and my mom pops up? And then drags your mom here as her accomplice? This is some bullshit! I'm so over her fucking antics!" Mia moved around the room looking for some comfortable clothes to put on.

Surprisingly, Rick was calm as hell as he got dressed, "Babe, calm down. Don't let her get you all worked. You know your mom is crazy, real talk."

"Derrick, I can't calm down. Saying she was coming to protect me? From what? The fuck? That makes no fucking sense! Who the fuck let them in anyway? Let's go! I'm going to hear her out, then put her ass out!"

Mia was still on ten when they got to the living room. "Okay Ma, start talking."

Deborah rolled her eyes at her daughter and started to apologize and explain herself.

Mia wasn't buying it and pressed her for the truth, "Cut the shit mom, why are you here?"

"Okay, okay, okay. Fine, I thought that if I got here in time before y'all consummated the marriage, I could convince you to annul it. And yes, I lied to Lisa to get her to come with me."

Mia was livid and Rick could tell she was about to lose it. "What the fuck! You gotta be fucking kidding me! Mom, this is my husband! I love him, he loves me! That's not changing! What makes you think we didn't have sex the night of our wedding? Why are you trying to sabotage my marriage already? He hasn't hurt me or you!"

Deborah wouldn't back down, "Mia he cheated on you after proposing to you! He doesn't deserve you! He doesn't love you."

"That is not for you to decide Deb! I cannot believe you drug me in the middle of this shit! Actually... I can" Lisa butted in.

Mia chimed in "First of all, let me set the record straight for both of you, He never cheated on me. When we broke up he started seeing other girls, but before that our record was clean! I didn't feel the need to explain that to anyone, but since it's such a big fucking deal to you, Mom, I'm gonna put the shit to rest. He was scared, getting a case of cold feet, and just said something to get me to break up with him. There was no infidelity! So now make up another reason to not like him. He is not a bad man, at all! This is your son in law whether you like it or not!"

Lisa said to Mia, "Baby girl you don't have to explain anything to me! You know I love you! And you and my son deserve each other!"

Mia couldn't see straight, "When we return, you better be gone!" she stormed out of the room.
