Every day after that, Carlos cared for the pregnant woman in every way, watching her belly grow bigger and bigger every day, and besides the pain he felt for her, there was also a sense of happiness filled with….
This gentle woman was giving birth to his children, and she was inseparably bound to him for the rest of her life….
It is comforting to know that the news is good at every maternity checkup and that both children are healthy….
Two months after Micaela’s pregnancy, Olivia and Katarina have also hit the jackpot, and with everyone piling up pregnancies, husbands are leaving no stone unturned to take care of their wives….
The birth of a baby in October was greeted by Alba, the earliest pregnant, with a fit of grief on a quiet afternoon when the pregnant women gathered for afternoon tea and flocked to the hospital….
Carlos, Tomas, Leonardo and Antonio also arrived at the hospital immediately and waited for their wives outside the maternity ward, a large group of people that became a beautiful sight in the maternity ward….
Ernesto had his head covered with cold sweat as he walked up and down the hall….
Everyone has been there, and everyone will be there in a few months, and no one flirts with it….
Finally, after six long hours, a nurse opened the door with a small baby in her arms and looked at Ernesto, who had rushed in immediately:
-Congratulations to Mr. Mancebo, mother and son.
Ernesto looked at his swaddled child and glanced anxiously inside.
-May I come in?
-No, there are other laboring women inside, you can’t go in.
The women surrounded the newborn, full of happy chatter:
-Wow, another son!
-He looks like Ernesto!
-Exactly like Gustavo when he was born!
-So cute, he didn’t even cry….
The men placated Ernesto so that he would take it easy and wait a little longer, while one and the other thought that, when their wives gave birth, they would have to book in advance an individual delivery room to be the first to enter….
Half an hour later, Alba was wheeled out and the women crowded around again, saying sympathetic things and squeezing Ernesto to the core….
Thank goodness they were all sympathetic and, after saying what needed to be said and that they would see them again tomorrow, they all finally withdrew, leaving room for Ernesto.
Closing the door, Ernesto returns to the hospital bed and looks at Alba lying down, caressing her cheek with sincere and grateful eyes.
-Honey, I work hard, now there are four of us in the family, it’s all thanks to you, from now on when you tell me to go east, I’ll go east, I won’t hit you back, I won’t curse you back, I’ll get up in the middle of the night and make you whatever you want to eat?
Hasn’t it always been like this before?
Alba loses her smile a little, her eyes slightly moist, and looks up at the handsome man above her, smiling:
-Are you sure it was all because of me? If it wasn’t for me, you’d be with another woman too? Well!
Ernesto leaned towards her and covered her lips for a moment before pulling away a little and resting his hands and elbows on either side of her.
-There’s no other woman, Honey, and I’m convinced that if you don’t come into my life, I’m going to be properly single for the rest of my life.
Alba laughed at him again and put her arms around his neck, looking at him lovingly.
-Ernesto…
-I am.
-Ernesto, I’ll probably die soon without you….
Ernesto interrupted with a frown.
-What is all this nonsense? Are you stupid for giving birth?
Alba smiled as tears slid down her face.
-Truly, Ernesto, without you surrounding me, cooking me and holding me to sleep, I must feel more miserable than if the sky had fallen…..
Ernesto felt Alba’s love and contentment, but then he looked at her tears and felt a tug at his heart and hastened to coax her:
-This will never happen, good boy, good boy, no crying, no crying?
-Ernesto, will you promise me something?
Alba’s voice had an uncommon sweetness and a tinge of pleading that made Ernesto boast without hesitation:
-Don’t say one piece, ten pieces a hundred pieces, as long as you say, I promise you?
-We’re going to hire a nanny, you don’t have to rush everything, just stay with me…..
Ernesto froze, looked for a moment at Alba below him, let out a laugh and pinched her cheek.
-So you want me to hire a nanny? What’s so hard about that, people who don’t know think we’re not too poor to afford a nanny.
Alba took his hand.
-I don’t want you to be so tired again, promise me.
Ernesto’s heart swelled with emotion and he kissed her on the lips.
-Okay, promise me, I’ll stay with you and give you ‘personal attention’.
Satisfied, Alba starts barking orders.
-Come upstairs and sleep with me.
-Yes, sir!
Ernesto takes off his shoes and lies down next to her, Alba immediately throws herself into his arms, exhausted from labor, and snuggles into his, soon falling asleep….
Ernesto embraced her and turned his head sideways to look at his youngest son sleeping soundly in his crib, turning his head to kiss his forehead.
-Honey, from now on the three of us men will be together to pamper and protect you.
