Chapter 36

"Lily?" I heard dad say in shock as we all turned to the entrance and watched someone entered.

"Mom?" me, Nate, Jai and Ava said.

Aaron immediately closed the songs.

"Mommy!" Max yelled running to her and hugging her.

"Max!" Nate said.

"lily! What are you doing here?" Dad asked.

I didn't realized Shawn was standing next to me, till when I felt him squeeze my hand and intertwining his hands with mine.

"I'll take care" Madison whispered taking sky.

"what are you doing here?" Nate asked angrily.

"I’m here for my daughter’s wedding" she said.

"oh, Nate do you see, she just remembered that she had a daughter, and by the way the wedding ended, and you weren't invited in the first place!" I said.

"Lia" Jai said.

"I have the right to see you at your wedding Amelia, congratulations Shawn" she said.

"thankyou Ms. Johns but will you please leave, because you're making everyone here uncomfortable and specially Lia" he said.

"you have a great husband Amelia, just like how your father was" mom said.

Dad shook his head "lily! This is not the right place, and it will never be, please leave".

"lily, will you please leave?" Amanda said.

"ooh, since when you are with Liam?" Mom asked.

"I was always with him; he is my brother lily!" Amanda said.

"Ava, darling" mom said.

"mom, please don't ruin this day" Ava said shaking his head.

"Don't look at me, I'm of course with Lia and forever will" Jai said.

"mommy?" Skylar said trying to walk to us.

"is she my granddaughter?" Mom gasped looking at her.

"fortunately, no, she's my daughter but never your granddaughter" I said "Karen is her only grandmother".

"so, you are Karen?" Mom asked looking at Karen.

"stop! Don't bring my family into this fucking situation, stay away from them" I said.

"my family wow, I'm your real mother and you want me to leave but they're just some creeps and you call them your family?" she said.

"hear me out woman! Don't you ever speak about any one of them in a bad way because each person here is better than you a million times!" Nate yelled.

"just fucking don't, they are my family whether you like it or not!" I yelled "you fucking left! You always left! But they are the ones who always stayed, they treated me as their own daughter and loved me endlessly, they've been kind to me and showed me what's it like to be loved! they even fucking looked for your children! they were strangers but still they did everything you didn't! Karen and Manny were with me with the whole pregnancy process! Karen was in the delivery room! She held my baby first, it wasn't you, I see her as my mom, she is my mother-in-law after all, but know that you'll never be like her, never!" I yelled as tears filled my eyes.

"Just fucking leave m—I don't want to even fucking call you mom! It's such a shame that you showed our friends how our mother is, good job on doing this woman, and you can't just fucking come here and act like nothing happened! Mind your own business! Stay away from me, my brothers, and sisters! From my friends! From sky! And from our friends and families! Stay fucking away" Jai yelled.

"JUST FUCKING GO LILY!" Dad yelled as mom walked away.

Nate hit one of the tables loudly before taking off inside the villa Jai stood up looking around before he followed Nate Sky started crying loudly before Aaliyah picked her up.

"um we're sorry you had to see this" dad said as he went to Ava, and they both walked inside while he hugged her.

"I'm sorry" I said walking away to follow them, but Shawn pulled me and hugged me tightly.

"Don't baby, please don't, everything is alright baby, you don't have to be sorry, and you don't have to cry" Shawn said kissing the top of my head a couple of times.

"I'm here for you" he whispered.

"darling don't worry, nothing happened, we all are here for you" Manny said.

"she ruined everything" I whispered as I walked from Shawn.

" baby" Shawn said while all the others said "Lia".

I shook my head and went inside.

Dad sat on one of the chairs as Ava was sitting beside him and she had her head on his chest.

Nate was pacing around the living room while Jai sat at a corner.

"come here" dad said as I went to the other side and sat beside him putting my head on his chest while Ava had her head on the other side.

"I hate her" Ava said.

"She always ruins everything!" Jai said.

"guys she didn't ruin anything; you guys could complete this night if we forget about her" dad said.

"Dad, she didn't have to make a scene in front of everyone, she can't do this to Lia on her wedding!" Nate yelled.

"guys I'm sorry, it's my fault, she's here and she did this" I said.

"Lia!" Dad, Nate, Jai and Ava yelled.

"What? I'm not joking" I said.

"don't be fucking serious!” Nate said.

"Lia, baby girl, look at me, it's not your fault, you were going to get married sooner or later and she would've come! you can't not get married because of her!" Dad said.

I stood up and turned my back as tears fell "dad she ruined this for Shawn! For his family and our friends!" I yelled.

"baby no" Shawn said coming towards me and pulling me into a tight hug.

"don't cry Lia!" Johnson said.

"darling no you didn't ruin anything, nothing is ruined" Karen said.

"I'm sorry Shawn" I said as Shawn cupped my face and wiped some tears.

"baby will you please not think in this way? you didn't ruin anything, and by the way you know all I care about is your happiness baby, so please if you want me to be happy then you should be happy and stop crying" he said.

"okay?" he asked as I nodded.

"we're always here for you" Amanda said putting a hand on dad's shoulders as he gave her a smile.

"look at me, I'm always with you, and t—" Shawn was stopped when Aaliyah got in with a crying Skylar.

"she got scared" Liylah said before Shawn took her and brought her to me.

"shhh baby girl" he kissed the top of her head.

"I'm sorry" I whispered before taking her to my chest.

"mama" sky said as she erased my tears.

"stop crying baby" Shawn said as I nodded.

"I love you" I said.
