Germangie- Life Together

Chapter 14- How Could You?

From now on I will be writing it more like a story than a script. It will also be from Angie's point of view unless said otherwise.

"That's amazing!!!" I was so surprised to hear those words come out of German's mouth.

" So you still want to marry me?" I replied, still shocked that he was pleased about the baby, I thought he would never want to see me again.

"Yes"

"Then YES, YES and YES!!!!!!!"

I hugged him so tightly after he slid the diamond encrusted ring on my finger. I was so glad I had given him another chance because in a short while, I will become Mrs Castillo and I will have a child of my very own to cherish and love just as much as I do Vilu.

THE NEXT EVENING

"ANGIE!" I heard my husband to be shout from his office. "WE HAVE GUESTS COMING IN HALF AN HOUR, YOU NEED TO GET DRESSED, NOT THAT YOU DON'T LOOK GREAT NOW!"

"OK!" I shouted back.

I wonder who it is that is coming, then it dawned on me, it would be my mother. Oh no, she doesn't even know we are engaged, if she finds out she will kill me. No, Angie breathe, I am sure mum will be pleased for me, I mean she wants me to be happy.

Oh no! Is that the door? Ok, just breathe, breathe I told myself as I walked down the stairs.

"Angie!" My mother cried.

"Mum!" I cried as I hugged her.

"Angelica!" German cried.

"Oh, hello German." My mother said unenthusiastically.

"What no hug for me?" German replied looking hurt.

"I don't think so, no not for the man that took my Grandchild away from me for 12 years Speaking of Violetta, where is my Granddaughter?"

"Oh, she's at Leon's" I saiid without even thinking. "German- I"

"No it's fine" He replied.

"Shall we eat?" I asked.

All through dinner I could hear the scraping of forks on plates. I knew I had to say something but before I could even open my mouth my mother suddenly screamed

"ANGELES!!!!!! WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR FINGER??????? DON'T TELL ME YOU ARE, NO YOU MUSTN'T!!!!! Angie may I speak to you alone."

"No mum! Whatever you have to say, you can say to both of us."

"Ok Angeles, I can't believe you would betray María like that, German is her wife!"

"Mum, I know you hate to hear this but María is dead!"

"YES BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN GO AND MARRY WITH YOUR SISTER'S HUSBAND!!!!"

"Angelica! Leave her alone! I proposed to her, and I love her just as much as I loved María!"

"What would you know about love, you kept my family hdden from me for 12 years!"

"Mum, he had good reasons!"

"Oh sure take his side, not the woman who stood by you when that monster took Violetta!"

" Mum, of course I am going to take his side, I love him!"

"How could you, I can't believe you could betray your sister like that! And you better not have any children, or you can say goodbye to me forever, I will not have my daughter betray her sister like that!!!!"

That hurt me so much, how could my mother say that to me. I ran upstairs crying, wishing that my mother had never come over. How could she do this to me. I went up to mine and German's room and cried my eyes out under the covers. Everything was quiet then I heard someone's footsteps.

"Mum?"

"Why did you just run off like that?"

"GET OUT!!!!"

"Angeles Cararrá! tell me now!"

"I'M PREGNANT ALRIGHT!!!!!"

The next thing I know my mother is dragging me downstairs screaming at German to explain himself. He comes over and wraps his arms around me.

"If we want a child, that is our choice"

"I cannot believe you two, German, I thought you had changed. and Angeles we are done don't call me when this monster changes his mind and takes Violetta away and you are left all alone! Goodnight."

And with that, my mother left and slammed the door behind her. I felt like someone had shot me in the heart, my mother hurt me so much. German sensed this and whispered in my ear that everything would be okay. We sat on the sofa and I cried into his shouder for hours until we eventually went to bed, but I couldn't sleep as all I could think about was my mother telling me that she would no longer be there for me. I was just so grateful for German, Violetta and my baby. But my mother's words stung in my heart...
