She gave a little scream at the other side, and I smiled. She was the more mature one compared to Mia. “Are you pregnant?”
“Well, I took three tests, but I need to make sure, and I don’t want Antonio to hear. I want to tell him myself.”
I could almost see her nod. “I understand. We’ll tell them it is for me. Emiliano will keep Dario busy, and he won’t tell anyone. You should have the chance to tell him the way you want.”
After we hung up, I got dressed and texted Dario that they were coming to get me. He was, of course, going to accompany us, but he thought we were going shopping. He was a little surprised when we came to the hospital, but he was not going to ask Isabella why she wanted to visit her OBGYN.
Bella came inside with me, and I was glad I called her instead of Mia. She was very calm and helpful about my anxiety. She told me she freaked out when she found out about her pregnancy with Clara. I found it very hard to believe, but then she mentioned it was not planned.
Well, they seemed like great parents, so it worked out well.
After my long anxious wait, the doctor confirmed my pregnancy, but even though Bella and I smiled, she had a calculated look. “You are only a little over four weeks. It is very early, so the risks are very high. Most women don’t even realize they are pregnant this early. You have to be cautious.”
My heart squeezed in my chest. I wouldn’t even know if I just brushed off my light period. I asked her about my bleeding and also about the glass of wine I had at the club. She said everything looked okay but repeated it was still early.
Now that I knew my baby was there, I wanted to do everything to protect it. I was not going to lose her.
“I’ll be careful,” I assured myself more than her. “I won’t let anything happen to my baby.”
Bella reached and squeezed my hand as a support, and the doctor smiled sweetly. “Of course. You learned it early so you can be careful. Also, the risks decrease every week. You are young and very healthy. Everything will be fine.”
That put some ease into my chest, and I breathed easily for the first time since I took those tests out of my drawer.
When the doctor left, I went to change my clothes, and my eyes widened. “Damn, I have to find a cute way to tell Antonio.”
Bella laughed. She was still inside because I told her I wouldn’t mind if she saw me naked.
“How did you tell Alessio?”
She bit down her lip, no doubt remembering the sweet memory. “Since it was not planned, I was so stressed. I took the test, and the second he came home, I just showed him the test. I was nervous about his reaction, but fortunately, he was quite happy.”
I pulled my jeans and smiled. “I know Antonio is going to be happy.”
Bella laughed. “Well, as much as Antonio can be happy.”
I hated that comment, but I was not going to taint my happy day. I knew Antonio was going to be happy. He was going to smile that really huge smile and give me so many sweet kisses. Fuck, maybe he would even tell me he loved me.
I mean, it was definitely a possibility. Being that happy could make him see his true emotions for me.
I jumped up and down and then stopped suddenly, remembering I had to beverycareful for my baby. “I am going to do it at the Lake House. I am going to ask for a private night and then give him a very nicely prepared gift with the test inside, and then he is going to be so happy, and then we are going to make love.”
When I looked at Bella, her eyes were huge. “Maybe you are not so different than Antonio,” she said.
I liked that remark but couldn’t understand the reasoning behind it. “Why do you think that?”
“Well, both of you are control freaks. You just have a different way of showing it.” She laughed and shook her head like it was so crazy.
It was not. We were very fitting for each other in every way.
“Come on,” Bella said. “Let’s go shopping and buy some things for your big reveal.”
“Oh, that’s a great idea,” I chirped. “Things like a new lingerie for when he is so happy about the news and wants to fuck me, right?”
She again shook her head at me with amusement. “I was thinking of a onesie with a joke on it, but of course, we can buy that too.”
I twined my arm with hers and pulled her out of the hospital room. “Yes, yes, let’s buy all of them.”
And we did buy all of them. A little white onesie saying, ‘I love mom more than dad’ and a cute box to put that and the test in. I, of course, also bought a new set of pink lingerie with bows that could actually unwrap. It was perfect.
