#Maybe then Armando starts to see Betty with longing eyes

[supercool-here]

Ok my sins are keeping me up late at night so of course I'm going to post about ysblf. I am not a fic writer, actually I'm not a writer of any kind other than bad, but I really wish I could come up with a storyline in which Armando and Betty develop a somewhat healthy relationship, or at least one in which they get together without having gone through the ordeal of seducing/getting used. I will love reading your ideas, even fanfic recs if you know any. My own theory will be in the tags

#I THINK it could be possible for Betty and Armando to get together in a normal-ish way because #In the small period of time before Mario gets into Armando's head and convinces him he has to seduce Betty to keep the company safe #During that time Armando and Betty had something pretty sweet going on #Of course I think getting anywhere near romantic would've taken much longer than it does in the soap #But I think they could've eventually gotten there #BECAUSE Armando's and Betty's relationship was really nice #It was quite damped in inequalities tho #So I think in this alternative narrative the first step would be to get them to stand on the same grounds #Even the situation #So help Betty get more confidence and get the career she had always wanted #And help Armando break away from his unhealthy relationships and bad influences and help him be bold #Maybe then Armando starts to see Betty with longing eyes #And maybe Betty tries to go out with other people #To learn a lil about relationships and learn to stand up for herself MAYBE #And MAYBE then Armando realizes he feels jealous #Which he wouldn't want to admit not because Betty used to be an “uggo” but because he's always seen her as this sweet angel of a person #And MAYBE he goes on a personal quest to find himself because MAYBE he starts wondering wether he could ever be with someone like Betty #Could he ever be with someone so honest kind intelligent knowgeable innocent loyal yada yada basically so perfect when he is such a torment #That has been a cheater and what not #But then I need something to happen so he decides he wants to try to become the man Betty deserves #(which is what he does in the original story teehee) #And I don't know what that could be #But yeah I think so far we could get pretty cute scenes of them bonding #Armando being proud of Betty seeing her grow up and treat herself better #Scenes of Betty doing things she's scared of and then getting that reassurance knowing she's always been capable of those things #And our beloved scenes of tortured Armando #But then what is gonna push Armando to decide he wants to be good for Betty #I don't know if I want it to be jealousy #MAYBE it'll be some situation in which he realizes he has to fight for her or he'll loose her forever #Meanwhile for Betty

Mornings at the Mendozas’

Armando woke up to an empty bed.  That in itself was not unusual since Betty always woke up with the sun.  What was different was that today was Aurora’s first day of school.  He shook his head and rushed to the kitchen in his PJs to see his girls.  His wife greeted him with a warm smile and a kiss like always.  For the millionth time, he thanked his stars that he married her.  Betty was still in her usual robe and nightgown looking more delicious than the traditional Mexican breakfast spread she’d put on the table but at said table also sat a little girl with big, innocent eyes looking up at him.  Aurora, his beautiful little girl.  His eyes welled up a little.  One day soon someone would come and take her away from Betty and him.  That day was not today, though.  Today she was only all of four years old.  He immediately swept in for a hug, tucking her head under his chin and raining kisses on her hair as she continued to eat her fruit.  He looked up at his wife and saw the fondly exasperated look in the eyes that their daughter had inherited.  He didn’t understand his own mother’s need to tell him that his baby would need surgery when she got older.  After all, Aurora looked exactly like her mother at that age -- his father-in-law had shown him all the photographs to prove it. Armando’s eyes widened.  Aurora would be the prime target of every Armando Mendoza type in the world.  Hell, no.  Over his dead body.  He immediately made plans to start building an arsenal.  And maybe a nice little tower in the woods to lock his baby girl in.  He and his wife would visit every day, but...

He felt Betty’s hand on his shoulder.  “Mi amor, you’re spiralling again.”  He handed Aurora the banana she was reaching for.

He pouted.  “Am not.”

Next thing he knew his hand was on Betty’s belly that was slightly swollen with life.  “You better not be.  We have this one coming in a few months and we can’t have a meltdown about how Aurora will one day get married and live far away from us.  Again.”

“But she--”

“That is still a long way off. Besides, our next child is a boy.  You’ll have an ally,” she teased.

Armando brought Betty’s hand to his lips.  “I am so very, very glad I married you.”

“I know. Now hurry up -- Aurora is going to be late for school.  She’s excited to go because she met this one little boy at her baby gym ---”

“--which we’re apparently going to have to cancel now.”

“Armando!”
