Carlos and Micaela spent the night at Nyisrenda, and the next day, Tomas and Bianca came early, and Bianca went straight to the bathroom, then came out and pulled Micaela inside, pushed her against the sink and she herself turned around.
-Micaela, who is sitting on the sink, help me look at my-
Micaela was crying and laughing as she looked at the early pregnancy test stick sitting on the sink.
-Are they coming so early in the morning?
-Micaela, I’m so nervous, it’s like I have a feeling that this time I really have it, but I’ve been disappointed for so long that I’m too scared to look at it, so help me look at it…..
Micaela can’t help but feel a little nervous seeing her nervousness. Bianca loves babies, and when Rigoberto was born, she said she wanted to have a second child without fear of pain, so Micaela hopes Bianca’s heart is in the right place….
She walked over to the sink and looked at the pregnancy test on top, a smile tugging at the corners of her lips…..
-Bianca, Bianca, come and see!
Hearing Micaela’s excited tone, Bianca, who was standing with her back to her and her eyes closed like an ostrich, felt joy in her heart, which made her open her eyes and turn to look over there, observing the two distinct lines on the test stick, and hugged Micaela happily.
-Wow Micaela, that’s great, you are my lucky star?
It’s clear that it’s her second child, but Bianca is still as happy as with the first one…..
Micaela is happy for her and at the same time she feels a little envious….
-Micaela, when are you going to win the lottery too?
Bianca asked right away.
Micaela let out a couple of dry laughs.
-This, this isn’t something I can control either….
Bianca looked at the hickey under her lace collar and continued the question wistfully:
-Are you sure you can’t influence this one?
Micaela ran her hair across her forehead, extraordinarily embarrassed.
-My period has always been very regular, Carlos remembers it better than me, before I only avoided the time of danger, but now I have lengthened it even more….. Anyway, it’s too difficult for Carlos to win the lottery with such a strict -defense-… Well, let’s give Tomas the good news that you are pregnant, so that he will be happy too.
Bianca was still trying to speak and had been pulled away by Micaela.
Tomas was on duty outside and heard all about it when he saw his Bianca’s jubilant expression, he reached out to pick her up and wrap his arms around her, a smile on his face.
-Congratulations to Bianca on becoming a mom again….
Bianca is beaming with joy.
-Ditto, ditto.
Tomas was happy by nature, he also loved the children, especially the fruit of his love for Bianca, but there was a touch of melancholy….
It’s time to go back to living the life of a monk….
On second thoughts, Tomas took Bianca by the arm and looked at Carlos, who had followed him, and spoke with a certain smugness in his tone:
-Brother, I don’t think you can catch up with me in the second pregnancy.
Rigoberto was born more than 20 days later than expected, only two hours after Mike, as a brother….
Carlos was standing next to Micaela, with his arm around her shoulders and a slight smile on his thin lips.
-I’m in no hurry.
He said looking at the person in his arms with eyes full of love.
He wasn’t going to have another bun to divide the girl’s attention, one Mike was enough….
However, the evolution of things is always so unexpected, that Micaela’s menstrual period, which used to be as accurate as an alarm clock, was three days late!
On the fourth day, as she still hadn’t had her period, Carlos couldn’t wait any longer and took the girl to the hospital for an examination.
After drawing her blood, the doctor ordered an ultrasound and, once a series of tests had been carried out, the obstetrician and gynecologist who had first examined Katarina looked at the report sent by the nurse for quite a while, before looking at the couple with the high courage of their faces and announcing with a smile:
-Mr. Aguayo, congratulations, your wife is 48 days pregnant.
48 days more or less?
Carlos frowned, that was what was in Salamonsa?
Micaela was exultant, knowing that Carlos had always been wrong with the measurements and yet he had won….
The doctor had not finished the sentence.
-The ultrasound showed two gestational sacs in the uterus and that she was carrying twins.
Micaela raised her hand and covered her lips in disbelief?
Give her two children at once?
She looked up behind her to see Carlos, only to see Carlos reach for the ultrasound sheet the doctor was holding and look at her, covering his face….
Micaela didn’t think much about it, her heart swelled with joy, remembering that time on their honeymoon in Salamonsa, when Nicolas had taken the group to Lotus Mountain to burn incense and blessings, and had taken them to the lottery, where the guru had said she could make Nicolas a grandfather three times, which meant she would give Carlos three children….
That guru also said that both Alba and Olivia and Paula would have two children, and now it looks like Alba and she are fulfilled….
In the hospital to build a maternity card, Carlos took her home, sitting in the car, see her eyebrows slightly furrowed, Micaela then realized that Carlos’s reaction is not quite normal, suddenly the mood of a few heavy, biting his lips, he asked her quietly:
-Carlos, are you sure you do not want to give a brother or sister to Mike?
Seeing the uneasiness in the girl’s eyes, Carlos leaned over and stroked her cheek, looking at her with love in his deep eyes.
-My dear, what’s all this nonsense about? Since I’ve been so meticulous and still got you pregnant, it must be God’s will, it’s just that I don’t want you to strain yourself?
Micaela hurried to take his hand.
-Carlos, I’m not afraid, it won’t be difficult….
Carlos kissed her lightly on the lips, reassuring her, before taking her in his arms:
-Micaela, now that I have it, naturally I’m waiting for the two children…..
Micaela sniffs and struggles a little to push him away, Carlos puts his arms around her to prevent her from letting go, he grabs her little head with one hand so that her cheek is pressed against his chest…
The woman’s slightly aggrieved voice reached his chest:
-Carlos you are lying, I don’t think you are happy at all…..
Carlos hugged her tightly, he was not unhappy, he was really upset, even a little scared….
The child in the girl’s womb was conceived in Salamonsa, and according to the time reckoning, at that time, it was only two months since she had been injected with the rabies vaccine antibody, and he was worried that there was still residual toxin from the rabies vaccine in the girl’s body, and he was worried about the effect of that antibody on the health of the fetus….
He didn’t know how angry she would be if he told her all this, so he wouldn’t tell her unless the late maternity test really came back….
Calming down quickly, Carlos rubbed the girl’s head and released her slightly, his long fingers picking up her chin.
-Dear, I’m not unhappy, I’m just feeling a little sudden, you know, I’ve always taken precautions, and I can’t believe there’s still a ‘leak’, holding you for the next year, but not being able to ‘eat’ you, do you know how tormented I am?
Leaks, leaks?
Micaela froze for a few seconds and reacted with fury, her little face bursting into flames as she reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist, her little face buried in his arms.
-Carlos big bad, what’s on your mind?
The exasperated tone of voice had a hint of smugness in it, making Carlos’ heart instantly soften into a mess, hugging her tighter and tighter, his low voice ringing in her ear:
-Full of nothing but Micaela?
The woman felt her ear burning and hurriedly turned her head away, her forehead brushing his arms, ruffling his black shirt, her voice low with shyness and joy:
-A year that goes by fast….
Carlos grabbed her little head with his hands, stepped back too, moved away a little, lowered his head, his fine lips softly brushed hers….
-Silly, I can’t wait to turn every minute into two minutes to love you, how can I let it pass quickly, as long as I am with you, as long as you are well, it doesn’t matter if I suffer a little torment, besides, this torment is nothing compared to the pain of giving birth to your child…..
Micaela’s heartbeat sped up involuntarily, reddening her eyes slightly, and the feeling of being touched and happy swelled her heart, making her unsure of what to say, and in the end she could only reduce it to a few words:
-Carlos, I love you so much…..
Carlos rubbed her head contentedly, looked at her and whispered:
-Dear…
