I don't own anything in this story besides Anthony Flynn, Lydia Fletcher, Amber Fletcher, and the story itself. I know I have two other stories in progress but I wanted one where I could work on if I don't know what to do with those stories. Anyways, this is an AU where Phineas' dad raises him and Candace as a single dad after Linda dies during childbirth (yes, this is the second story where I have her dead) while Ferb's mom raises him and his twin sister, Amber, as a single mom after Lawrence gets killed during a break-in (don't get me wrong, I love Linda and Lawrence but I don't like the idea of divorce so death is the only other way to have their spouses as single parents in my AU). I hope you like this story! Also, my version of Phineas' dad isn't an a-hole in this story, unlike in my other story. Before I forget, everybody has normal shaped heads, like my other stories.
Anthony's POV
I was pacing around in the maternity ward, waiting to see if my wife and child are okay. It seemed like hours till the doctor found me nervously walking back and forth.
The doctor cleared her throat. "Mr. Flynn?" I stopped in my tracks and faced the doctor.
"Doc, is everything okay? Is my child okay? Is my wife okay?"
"Follow me." She motioned me with her hand to follow her. We stopped in front of the delivery room where my wife and child were. I walked in the room and towards my wife, who was holding a small bundle in her arms and a tired expression on her face.
"Tony...meet your son, Phineas." I looked at the bundle and saw a little boy who looked just like me.
"Honey...he's beautiful." A weak smile came to Linda's face as she handed our son to me.
"Take good care of him and Candace. Tell him that his mommy loves him and will always be with him."
"Linda...what are you saying?"
"Tony, I lost too much blood during birth, I don't have the strength to survive."
"Linda! Please…"
"I love you so much Tony…" Linda said as she passed. I just stood there, in shock while my baby boy cried for his mother. I held him close to my chest as he cried.
"Don't worry little one, Daddy's here and will always love you, Mommy may be gone but she will always love you and be with you." Phineas stopped crying and fell asleep in my arms. "Daddy will love you forever, Phineas Vincent Flynn."
Two years later
"DADDY!" A scream of a little girl rang throughout the house.
"Yes sweetheart?" I said, looking at my little girl who was clearly angry.
"Phineas won't stop bothering me!" I shook my head in amusement.
"Candace, he's only two years old, leave him be." Just as the words left my mouth, I felt a tug on my pants. I looked down and saw my lookalike son, Phineas.
"Dada? Iz Candy mad at me?"
"My name is Candace you little rat."
"Candace Gertrude Flynn, go to your room, now! We'll talk later about your attitude."
"But-"
"Now young lady." As my daughter stormed away in a huff, I picked up my son and held him as he was close to crying.
"Candy no like me." I looked at Phineas with compassion and concern. He didn't like it when Candace yelled at him, neither did I.
"Aww, Phin, she's just mad that you bothered her."
"So, she still like me?" Phineas said, giving a small smile.
"Yes, she does but she needs some time alone. Let's go play in your room." Phineas clapped his hands at the word play and we started our way to his nursery.
Meanwhile in London, England
Lydia's POV
"Lawrence!" I said, calling out for my husband. Just then, my husband, who sported brown hair and glasses, was at my side in an instant.
"Yes, my dear?"
"Can you get Amber and Ferbian?" Amber and Ferbian, who prefers to be called Ferb, are mine and my husband's two year old twins, who resembled me with my green hair and violet-blue eyes. Just then, Lawrence and I heard rapid footsteps. The two of us looked down and saw our beloved children.
"Mummy, you need us?" Ferb said in his cute voice.
"Yes darling, it's time for supper." After supper, I tucked the infants in their cribs and headed to the sitting room to have some quality time with Lawrence.
"There's the most beautiful woman in the world, Lydia Fletcher." I blushed and laughed softly.
"Oh Lawrence, you're such a flirt!"
"Isn't that why you fell in love with me?" I let out a small laugh before Lawrence wrapped his arms around my hips and started dancing with me. A couple hours later, we had gone to bed, not knowing what would come only an hour later.
It was 22:30 (10:30 p.m.) when I heard a loud crash. Before I could shake my husband awake, he was up in an instant.
"Darling, go to the nursery, check on the twins." I ran out of the bedroom and to the nursery where my children were crying upon being woken up by the loud crash. As soon as I could, I called 999, telling the operator that someone had broken into my house. Just as soon as I got off the phone, I heard a loud noise coming from the living room. I got scared and stayed close to my children, comforting them. When the police arrived minutes later, I stepped outside of the nursery and saw a horrendous sight. My husband, dead on the floor with the person who had broken into the house in handcuffs. I knelt to where my husband laid and started crying loudly.
"Lawrence...no! You can't be dead!" An officer knelt down beside me and put his hand on my shoulder.
"Mrs. Fletcher, I'm sorry but he's gone." I screamed and layed over my husband, crying so loud that my babies started to cry loudly too. My Lawrence was dead and now...I'm a single mother to two children. Why did this have to happen to me...why.
Alrighty, here's the first chapter of my new story! I'll update my other two stories as soon as I can. I wanted to do this story if I didn't have any ideas for my other stories(which I don't have any at the moment). Most of this story will take place when the boys and Amber are 13 and Candace 18. There will not be any pairings, only friendship and family! I hope you like it and I'll see you in the next chapter! Bye! ~Aurora
