-I already did!

—Okay, now see what's next.

My nerves are eating me up, I know it's hers too because three days ago we were fucking at a table in this same house talking about how we wished that moment would come.

—I've already put them to rest!

—Now it's time to wait, princeessa.

I listen to her wash her hands, but she vomits again and I have to go into the bathroom to hold her hair, she cries like never before, I pick her up and give her the toothbrush with toothpaste so she can wash her mouth. With tears in his eyes he does it until he spits and claims me, seeing me from the reflection of the mirror.

—I hate vomiting!!

—Yes, I hate it too, now rinse it off.

-I hate it!

I rub his back, we finish and lie down on the bed to wait, he eats the last two chocolate bars, leaving the wrappers on my legs. I caress her head going through thousands of moments from my childhood, in short , if those tests come back positive, my daughter or son will not go through any of that.

It was a promise I made to Emily and something I would also do if she were not my partner, I knew that my children were not going to go through the same torment that my brothers and I went through.

—I didn't realize, I was excited to travel.

—Do you want to continue traveling?

"At some point, we can do it even if I'm pregnant," he proposes, "the joke is that I like to travel with you." Although now I hate that I'm vomiting, I can't fall asleep, since yesterday I couldn't.

-And why did not you tell me?

—You were very tired, it doesn't matter, I think it's a good time because we have a whole life ahead of us and in some way we were looking forward to it.

—Yes, but I want you to feel ready.

"Oh, I am, I think," he hesitates for a second. I'm not going to stand crying and throwing up all the time.

I let out a light laugh.

—We'll find a remedy for that.

—How many minutes?

—There are five left, don't worry.

-Well.

She curls up on my chest, I hug her and make her calm down, she sniffs several times after crying so much. I think there is a considerable imbalance in hormones, which makes it clear to me that the percentage of a positive is high.

—Will it be there?

I look at my watch.

-Two minutes left.

—Okay, there are five, it is difficult for five to come out with a false positive, right?

—I don't know, but if the result is positive, we will talk to the doctor to send her the information and tell us how to proceed.

-That sounds good.
