Falling For The Man I Married

"Ahh.. that's so sweet, honey. They're so sweet." his mother walked closer to us clapping her hands.

They both have genuine and happy smiles on their lips.

"I'm happy for you son, you've finally found your woman." Mr Wilsons patted him on the shoulder while Mrs Wilsons hugged me tightly. Nancy was also smiling behind them and she already stopped recording.

I couldn't help but gulped the conscience that has risen inside me. I wish I could say the same. I wish I could proudly say, 'yes I am his woman' but no. These are not real. These are just part of a deal.

"Thank you so much, Madi. You were an angel sent from above to my Gabriel." Mrs Wilsons took both of my hands.

And I smiled nervously. I looked at Gabriel but he wasn't looking at me.

"Angel? What do you mean, Mrs Wilsons?" I asked her trying to calm myself down.

"Oh come on, let's cut that formality and just call me 'mama'." My eyes widened in surprise.

-'Mama?'-

"And don't call me Mrs Wilsons, because you're only calling yourself by that too."

"Huh?"

"I know someday you're going to call me mama too, why don't we do it now? I heard my son call you his 'future Mrs Wilsons', why don't we start it today, right honey?" she called her husband's attention.

And everyone looked at me. I bit my lip when I glanced at Gabriel, but the jerk.. always the jerk himself, said nothing but just smirked.

"Yes, Madi, I also want you to call me Dad from now on."

My eyes widened and a light chuckled escaped my mouth. I don't know what my face looks like at that moment. I wanted to laugh but I also wanted to kill Gabriel.

"D-Dad...?"

"Yes. That's better than calling me Mr Wilsons every time."

"And call me Mama." I smiled at her wife.

"M-Mama."

"Thank you, Madi. We're always here to support you and Gab. And regarding my condition, forget it. If you two want to have more babies
