The room was silent for a long time…..
Katarina looked at Alba suspiciously:
-When Gustavo was born, I distinctly remember that Alba said firmly a million times that she was determined not to have a second child….
Micaela answered favorably:
-Yes, that’s what Alba told me in the video call the morning after the baby, er, after that was the night….
-Ejem!
Ernesto coughed dryly, looked at Yerma admiringly and said.
-Mom has a good eye!
Then, looking at his siblings sitting around him, he said smugly:
-Sorry, I’m going to be a father again, don’t be jealous, hold on tight guys.
Leonardo throws him a blank stare.
-Are you sure that look on your face, that tone of voice, is embarrassment?
The women immediately surrounded Alba, questioning her:
-How can you be pregnant and hide it from us?
-Yes, don’t leave us for happy ah!
Alba puts her hand around Micaela’s arm next to her and looks at her little sisters, lowering her voice appropriately.
-At that time, the fetal signs were unstable and he was bleeding irregularly, all the doctors said they weren’t sure they could keep him, they were afraid the result would be unsatisfactory and make you all sad about it, so they didn’t say anything, but now he is stable and safe, so people don’t have to worry….
So that’s what happened…..
Micaela took her hand and looked at her, her nose a little sore.
-Alba, it’s because I became a cat then, and you were far away, on this side of the globe, worried about me and in a bad mood, right?
Everyone is silent…
For the past year, Micaela’s situation has been on everyone’s mind….
Feeling the atmosphere getting a little heavy, Olivia hastened to say.
-Gosh, everything’s fine now, everything’s in the past, everything’s fine as it was!
Katarina also added to what Micaela said:
-Yes, happiness may come late, but it will come back!
Everyone came out of their sadness and Bianca looked at Alba and said sincerely:
-Alba, congratulations on becoming a mom again!
Alba smiles and nods.
-Hold on tight you too!
Bianca looked at Tomas, not far away, and lowered her voice:
-My period has been late just this month and I’m not sure if it’s…..
Wow…
The friends lowered their voices to a cacophony.
Bianca felt a little embarrassed, she loved children, she had been preparing for pregnancy since Rigoberto was a year and a half old, month after month of anticipation, month after month of disappointment, and she looked at Micaela and said:
-Tomorrow I buy test strips and take a test, or will you read it to me?
Micaela couldn’t help but laugh out loud and nod her head when she remembered that she was too scared to look at her first baby’s results and….
Olivia asked:
-Alba, for the second son are you expecting a daughter?
Alba was silent, for a while, before saying:
-Something like that.
-What kind of reaction is that, are you afraid that your daughter will compete for your favor?
Actually it’s Olivia’s thing, but Alba denies it and slinks away, Katarina scoffs:
-The second child is here, can the third be far away?
Those words made Alba sit up suddenly.
-No, no, no, no, no, I tell you, the first child was an accident, the second was an accident, and there are not all three! So the third child, nothing at all!
They all laughed at once, it was really unexpected that Alba, who swore she was determined not to have a second child, was the first to get pregnant with her second child….
After chatting late into the night at Nyisrenda, they each left on their own.
As soon as he got home, Ernesto tucked his son, who had fallen asleep on the way, into his own bed, covered him up and immediately went to put his wife’s bath on, get her pajamas ready and explain to her to be careful on slippery floors, and then went to the kitchen to get the bird’s nest he had cooked for her before leaving home, and let it cool….
Alba finished showering and came out in her pajamas when she saw Ernesto come in with a small bowl.
-Honey, come here, hubby is feeding you at midnight.
Alba obediently sits down next to Ernesto and cooperates by letting him feed her.
She kept her eyes on his handsome face, his eyes full of love….
Ernesto lifts the spoonful of bird’s nest to her mouth, smiling an ungainly, wicked grin as he looks down at her.
-Have you noticed that your husband is the most handsome man in the world?
-Pfft…
-Honey, don’t spray it, every bite of this bird’s nest is essence, it can strengthen your body and beautify your skin!
Ernesto said as he took out paper to wipe the corner of her lips, not caring about spraying….
Alba’s heart skipped a beat as she swallowed the bird’s nest in her mouth and looked at him.
-Oh yeah, isn’t that for the baby in my belly?
Ernesto put the bowl down on the table and took her in his arms.
-What a thing to say, you are more important than your children?
A constant torrent of emotion surged in Alba’s heart….
-Honey, I didn’t mean for you to win the lottery, you were the one who said it was a sure day….
Well, the touch didn’t last more than three seconds and was immediately erased by him….
Alba pushes him away and grabs her own bowl to take a good bite of the delicious bird’s nest….
Ernesto clung to her again, his arms around her waist, his big hand pressed against her bulging belly, his warm breath spraying her cheek, his muzzle unmistakably serious.
-“Honey, I’m going to book you in for a spay appointment tomorrow, so you won’t have to go through the pain of having a baby again.
Alba paused in her eating, and halfway through her meal, tears fell into her bowl…..
Ernesto didn’t notice, Woody said:
-I definitely will not do without any method of contraception, it hurts your body, and that what condoms I do not like, this method is once and for all, I asked him, it is safe?
In the middle of the day, when he heard the person he was holding in his arms runny, he realized that she was crying, he hurriedly took the bowl in his hand, put it on the table and clasped her in his arms.
-What’s all the crying about, it’s heartbreaking?
Alba kindly admitted:
-It hurts the heart! It hurts like hell!
Ernesto wiped the tears from her face and gave her the cop:
-It was very, very safe, it didn’t even need stitches or anything…..
-Ernesto, I gave birth to Gustavo, from the pregnancy, until he was a year and a half old, you lost twenty pounds, you were with us every day, you contracted everything for us, mother and son, and all these processes, you were much more tired than me, and I wasn’t willing to let you get too tired….
Ernesto looked surprised for a moment at the person in front of him and hugged her tightly, holding the back of her neck with one hand, full of gratitude.
-I’m not tired, not at all, I would do anything for you…”.
The beautiful atmosphere didn’t last a minute before Alba pushed him away, grabbing his shirt across his chest and glaring at him with merciless threats:
-Don’t go to that shitty surgery, I’ll beat you up if you do!
Ernesto looked at the living person in front of him and hurriedly relented, asking with a pitiful face:
-What if you accidentally get pregnant again?
Alba lowered her eyes and put a hand to her stomach, feeling the slight movement of the fetus inside her, torn for a long moment, and then raised her eyes to look at him without hesitation:
-Then give birth!
Ernesto’s heart swelled with emotion and he hugged her tightly.
-Darling, I love you and I swear that no matter how many babies we have, you will always be my favorite…
