I know it feels like forever lovelies, I've had serious writers block. I don't even know what to do with myself sometimes. College doesn't make it any easier, enjoy this!!!

More time has passed and Andy and Cher still couldn't see each other. They talked on the phone every night, away from prying ears but it was not the same. It broke both their hearts but Andy wasn't going to stop fighting. He moved from Pierce's house after some time, it was getting difficult to not get caught by the press. Marivi had finally gave in and signed the divorce papers last month but the custody battle was still going. He hasn't told Cher because he wanted to do it personally. He wanted to have shared custody of Andrés but Marivi wanted the full custody just to piss him off. Their daughters were torn between parents, they wanted to support their dad but their mom was being manipulative. They weren't given any explanation, that's how they caught up on her game. Soon it was time for the Mamma Mia: Here We Go Again premiere and they wanted to see Andy before his trip. Even though they were going to be there at the premiere.

July 8

Alessandra, Daniella and Dominik hadn't seen Andy since the divorce process started. The first thing they did was hug him all and sit down.

"I'm so glad you're all here, I've missed you. And I miss Andrés" Andy told them

"We missed you too dad, everything is difficult with the situation right now but we are trying to be there for both you and mom" Dominik said

"I know, I'm sorry you have been put in the middle of all this. I didn't want it to be this way, I don't want you to feel you have to choose sides" Andy told them

"It's what mom makes us feel, she says it's your fault. She says you cheated on her, it's hard for us to believe that dad, you wouldn't" Daniella said

"Girls I'm not gonna justify my behavior or deny anything. I did fall in love with someone else" the girls were surprised by his confession but still listened "Marivi and I haven't been good for months and I honestly got tired of trying. I loved your mother very much, I am grateful for our years together but I couldn't help it but fall in love with someone else. I feel good with her, I feel different than what I felt with Marivi and I'm happy. What brakes my heart is that Marivi keeps me away from your brother. I sacrificed myself and don't let myself be seen as to not compromise the situation"

The three women were stunned by these news but they respected their father "Is the woman you love famous? Do we know her?" Alessandra asked

Andy smiled thinking about Cher "Do you really want to know?" He asked

"We don't know yet" Alessandra said

"She does have her own children and is well known" Andy added

"Is she going to be at the premiere?" Daniella asked

"Yes" Andy answered

"Look, we respect each of your decisions, we want you to be happy so if somebody else makes you happy then we're ok with that. Andrés is too, we've talked to him and he really misses you but he doesn't like to see mom in the state she's in now. None of us do"

"Thank you for understanding and trust me, I didn't want things to turn out this way. I love all of you, you are the most important thing to me. I want to be able to see Andrés and be with all of you. I'm aware that I can call or text him but it's not the same. I thought your mother would react differently but I guess not" Andy said

"She's hurting" Dominik said

"I know and it's my fault but I can't continue to be with someone I don't love anymore and I'm extremely sorry about that. I just didn't want to hurt Marivi more by being with her in a loveless marriage"

"Don't be so hard on yourself dad, at least this is being handled privately. Unlike Pierce Brosnan's divorce" she pointed out

Andy slightly chuckled "His case and mine are more alike than you think" he paused on seeing the puzzled faces "but I'm sworn to secrecy for now"

"I for one, want to meet her. Mom is probably going to be mad but it's our decision. I want you to be happy no matter what" Dominik said

"I agree, I want to meets her too" Daniella said

Alessandra nodded in agreement to her sisters "We'll all be at the premiere anyway"

Andy smiled wide, happy that his daughters were so accepting "technically you already know her because she's famous, just not personally yet. She has a family too, children I mean"

"So who is she?" Alessandra asked

"I think she wouldn't want me to tell anyone about us yet, not while the divorce process is still going. it would be rude if I do it without her consent. Can you wait until the premiere?"

"We understand" the three women said nodding

"It's time for us to go, you have to get ready to leave the day after tomorrow" Dominik said standing up, the others following

"We love you dad" Alessandra said hugging him

"See you at the premiere" Daniella said hugging him after her sister

"Don't worry about Andrés, we will find a way to convince mom to let him go with us" Dominik told him

"I love you girls so much, thank you for your support" Andy said and showed his daughters out the door and went to make the arrangements for his trip.

Malibu, California. Cher's house

Cher was working on the finishing touches of her album to release it after the Mamma Mia HWGA movie premiere. She had Jen talk with her managers about the trip to London for the press conference. Cher along with Georganne, Georgia and Pauly and some of the crew were in her house recording studio. Georgia called for a lunch break but the real reason was that Cher didn't seem so focused. Cher sat quietly at the kitchen counter  playing with her ring, of course thinking about Andy. Georgia passed some some plates to Pauly and Gigi to take to the dining room.

Georgia stood in front of Cher who didn't even noticed the movement "You haven't taken that ring off your finger or out of your sight since you got here"

"It's pretty special" Cher said smiling at the ring

"You didn't get it in a store, somebody gifted it to you. Andy Garcia I believe is his name. The man who played Fernando in the movie you worked at." Georgia blurted out

Cher looked at her mother stunned "how did you know?"

"Because I'm your mother and know everything about you. Besides, your eyes glow every his name is mentioned or you talk about him" she said

Cher turned bright red, flustered and looked down "I know what you're gonna say mom"

"I also know about Pierce Brosnan and Meryl, every time he is on the news, you call her. I just don't want you to get hurt or go through what they are going through" Georgia said

"It won't come to that, he is working on it and he won't let it go public. Not now at least, He promised to come back to me" Cher told her while playing with her ring

Georgia sighed "What about you two?"

"He loves me and I love him, I haven't felt that way for anybody since Rob and I want us to work out" Cher honestly said

Georgia smiled "That's all I wanted to hear honey" she kissed her daughter on the head "Still you have to focus on your job. I know you must miss him but you will see each other soon"

"I know, thanks mom. Now let's go, I'm getting hungry" Cher said and they walked to the dining room. Later Chaz and Elijah visited and spent time with Cher. The next day she and Pauly started packing for their trip. She knew they had a lot of work but also couldn't wait to see Andy.
