“And now we’ll never know won’t we.”He continued over her.”Because Hugo and I share the same DNA both test would prove we are the fathers. There’s nothing I’d love more than to be those babies father to get a second chance and experience everything I couldn’t with the boys with them, to see you glow from the inside out.”
“It is your baby.”She said desperately.”I promise you that.”
He scoffed.”You’ve no idea how painful it is for me to know my brother could’ve fathered your baby, a baby that should be ours. I can’t even be happy because I don’t know if it’s mine or not and if you slept with Hugo within three days of sleeping with me then we’ll never know who’s the father. You took the right of me becoming a father again away, you stole it and for that I’ll never forgive you.”He walked away from her.
“Bruno. Wait! Listen to me.”When he looked at her again she saw tears glisten in his eyes he truly was hurt and really believes his brother made her pregnant he really does think the baby isn’t his, what more can she do to convince him differently it kills her to know how much pain he’s carrying inside his heart because she can feel it too.”This is your baby. Our baby. I’m telling you the truth.”Yet his eyes tells her he doesn’t believe her.”Please believe me.”Instead he walked out, Sage rushed after him.”Bruno!”She yelled when he was at the stairs he kept on walking, suddenly she felt dizzy again. “Bru-..”She didn’t finish as darkness closed over, he caught her just in time.
He called his doctor.”Is she alright.”He asked Suzanne after the examination.
“She’ll be fine, she’s tired her body needs rest. She’s pregnant I’d advice she gets bed rest for the next couple of days to give her body the strength it needs, the baby needs it too she’s extremely weak and if she keeps on pushing her body this way she’ll lose the baby. I’ll come back tomorrow to do an ultra sound to make sure the baby is alright I draw some blood to check and ensure that everything is order.”
“When can we expect the result.”
“Tomorrow. Make sure she stays in bed for at least a few days.”He nodded. Margarita walked Suzanne out, he slowly walked over to Sage where she was lying on the bed he couldn’t help but reach out to stroke her cheek, she looked so pale against the dark pillow case she was lying on. Her eyelids fluttered open and she gazed at him.
“What happened.”She sat upright, he helped her.
“You fainted due to exhaustion Suzanne said you need bed rest for a few days.”
“I fainted.”She said in disbelief.”Bed rest. Is that necessary.”
“It is for the baby.”He said.”You must take better care of yourself for your baby.”
“My baby.”She croaked.”You mean our baby Bruno.”She sighed wearily.”Do you really believe I’m carrying your brother’s baby. I know this baby is yours.” Her hands rested on her abdominal.”I can feel it in my heart, this baby is a result of our love and although you might not believe me it’s okay, I believe in our love.”His cell rang before he could respond, she watched as he walked out of the room Sage touched her cheek where his hand had been.”Despite your anger I know deep down you still love me Bruno.”Margarita brought her food and a sedative that the doctor prescribed for her to take so she can get some rest. Sage knows her staying in bed would be a challenge but she’s gonna have to do it for the baby. Another life is growing inside her, a part of Bruno, will it be the girl he wanted or more boys Sage can’t wait for this bundle of joy hopefully this baby will reunite Bruno and her.
Sage had a good nights rest thanks to the sedative she’d taken yesterday Margarita had brought her breakfast early this morning she hasn’t seen Bruno since yesterday but Margarita had told her he’d been here early morning when she’d still been asleep he cares even though he pretends not to. She’s waiting for Suzanne to come and wonder if Bruno will be here, staying in bed is boring and today is only the first day of remaining in bed she wants to see her boys and was about to go when a knock sounded on the door and Suzanne came in.”You should be in bed Mrs Romero. Where are you off to.”Sage wanted to respond but Bruno followed. She hadn’t expect to see him here especially since he thinks he isn’t the father of their baby.
“Staying in bed isn’t for me I was about to go see the boys.”She sat down again.
“There’s plenty of time for them to come to you. Let’s see how the newest member of the family is doing.”Sage laid down, her eyes met Bruno’s they reveal nothing, a few minutes into the examination he received a call and dropped it the baby’s heart beat filled the room a second later, such a beautiful sound a strong heart beat she remembers with the boys when she had heard their tiny hearts beating for the first time tears had spilled from her eyes.
Having Bruno hear to experience this moment with her makes it special and to see the gentle, tender affectionate look in his eyes as he’s looking at their baby on the screen brings hope where there had been none.”Strong heart beats that’s a good sign. Everything is alright.”
“Heart beats?”Bruno quoted.
“Yes. They are two.”Suzanne said with a smile.”You’re gonna have your hands full. Twins are in your genes Bruno.”
“How far along am I.”Sage asked, Bruno excused himself when his phone rang again.
“Just over ten weeks.”Ten weeks Sage thought then she conceived while she’d been in Greece with Bruno it is his babies but even if she can tell him that what guarantee does she have of him believing her. He returned moments later. “You gonna have to take better care of yourself Mrs Romero, your blood pressure is very low considering you’re in your early stage of pregnancy I’m gonna advise you to remain on bed rest for at least a week or more it’s for the safety of the babies your body is weak any sudden distress, tension or overexertion can result in you having a miscarriage. So please be very careful and I also won’t do any lifting if I was you.”
“But I can at least hold the boys for a few minutes.”
“I won’t advise that it’s only for a little while, we need to control your blood levels your blood test results also came back clear. I’ll prescribe some vitamins including folic acid and other necessary supplements I’m also gonna give you something for your low blood pressure we need it to be normal as soon as possible. Come see me in two weeks so we can see how far you’ve progressed.” She got up and put her medical equipment away.”Congratulations to the both of you.”
“Thank you.”Sage said.”The prescription.”
“I send it to your husband what I need is for you to get plenty of rest. Is that clear.”
“Crystal.”She said.
“Good. Have a lovely day call me if you have any questions both of you.”Bruno walked her out leaving Sage to her own thoughts, another set of twins she can’t wait to know their genders hopefully it would be girls so that they can help her with Liam and Logan they are a handful she wonders how she’ll handle them now that she’s pregnant. Margarita came to congratulate her with a cup of tea in her hand.
“Thank you. For everything I appreciate it.”
“No need to thank me I’ve told you before I’m only doing my job senora.”
“I’d like to see the boys where are they?”
“In their playroom, I can bring them to you if you like.”
“I would. Did Bruno leave?”Margarita nodded, he didn’t even come to see her before going for how long will this go on she needs to talk to him and tell him when she’d fallen pregnant so that he can stop thinking their babies belong to his brother.”Where did he go.”
“He didn’t say.”Margarita went to fetch the boys Sage played with them for an hour before Margarita came to take them away, she was all alone and extremely bored so she called her brother they haven’t spoken in weeks.
“Hey sis. How’s married life treating you.”
“Good. How are you? How are things at home and where’s Gina.”
“We’re okay the renovations is coming along great I wish you can see the house you won’t recognize it. When are you and Bruno coming to visit.”
“Not now Sean. Bruno is quite busy with work we hardly get to see him but don’t worry me and the boys will come soon when I get off bed rest.”
“Bed rest.”He repeated.”What’s wrong with you. Did something happened.”
“Yes something happen, I’m pregnant Sean.”
