Bonus Chapter 2: Family Matters-2

Angelo looked into Francesco's eyes and decided he had to speak fast before he snapped his neck " It's not my place to say... She needs to tell you... I am sorry.., She is the bathroom... She felt sick after lunch..." Francesco's expression changed to concern. He let go of Angelia shirt and turned around to look at the lunch table " What did she eat? Waffles? for lunch?" Angelo quickly responded " She asked for waffles... Then before she could even take a bite she felt sick..." Francesco stated as he turned to Angelo  " She was fine yesterday.. I will go find the chef... He must have poisoned her... I need to know what poison it is... Adele was just fine yesterday..." As Francesco started walking away, he found Angelo speaking urgently " Its not the food... She knows why she got sick... Ask her... I will give you some privacy..." Francesco stopped walking and turned around " Stop testing me Angelo... What is wrong with her?" He then walked to him. Angelo put his hand up in surrender and took a few steps away back wards " Its not my place to say... She will tell you if you ask..." Francesco felt like flooring Angelo for playing around with him when Adele's safety was concerned. Just as he was about to grab his neck, Adele's voice brought him out of his thoughts and stopped him " Francesco..." Francesco froze as he spotted Adele coming out of the bathroom. She looked pale. She looked sick. Her eyes were watering. He walked past Angelo and towards Adele " Sweetheart ... What is the matter? Have you got food poisoning?... Angelo tells me you are sick...." He then embraced Adele and picked her up bridal style and carried her to the bed... She was biting her lip nervously in silence.. He knew that look. She was too shy to speak... He then noticed Angelo managed to slip out of the room at that moment. " Where are you going? Your sister is sick? She needs treatment..." Adele whispered as Francesco put her down on the bed " Francesco ... I know what's wrong with me... It's nothing to worry about ..." Francesco sat down on the edge of the bed and took her hand in his " What is it sweetheart?.." Adele took a deep breath " You know what we talked about on our way back from our honeymoon ..." Francesco frowned " I don't know sweetheart... Just tell me why you are sick... I will get you the best doctors... But your brother made no sense... He said it's not his place to say what sickness you have... What kind of doctor is he?..." Adele looked at Francesco as she let out a shaky breath " Please remember what we talked about on the plane when we came back from our honey moon.." Francesco sighed " We said we will go to Australia on holiday next year..." Adele shook her head " No...Not that..." Francesco sighed " What does it have got to do with you being sick... We talked about what to name our children and do we want middle names..." Adele nodded " That's it..." Francesco sighed " What ... so you are sick over baby names?" Adele closed her eyes " No ... I am pregnant..." She then opened her eyes to see Francesco's reaction. He was looking at Adele with pure shock ... His eyes had widened ... He looked at Adele's face and then at her stomach that she was holding ...Come to think of it she had held onto her stomach for a while..." Francesco shook his head and looked at Adele with disbelief " Impossible ... You are ... You are ... pregnant..." Adele nodded and swallowed hard " Do you want this baby? ... I know you said you don't think it's right for me to have a baby so soon... I know I was the one wanting this... I really want this baby... Please don't make me have an abortion ... I want to keep this baby... I know you told me if you feel I am not ready to become a mother you will have no problem arranging for an abortion... I want this baby... I really do..." Francesco's tears said it all " So do I ... I want this baby too.., Sweetheart... This is amazing... You are ... You are carrying my child..." He then hugged Adele tightly who was now sitting up on the bed. He whispered " I want a baby with you more than anything ... I just felt guilty and felt that .. I had pressured you when we got married... I don't want you to have a baby you don't want with me... It would break my heart if you had an abortion but a woman's body belongs to her. It's all your choice sweetheart..." he then pulled away and looked at Adele who was also crying and smiling at the same time " Do you really want to have a baby? You don't regret marrying me?" Adele leaned close and kissed Francesco's lips and wrapped her arms around his neck. She gave him a lengthy kiss and pulled away slightly as she breathed while brushing her lips against his " I love you... I always did.. I always will. I want this baby more than anything.... I know it's hard to raise a child but we will work together. We can do this together. I have faith in you Francesco... I know in your heart you are scared of becoming a father like Paulo. But you are not your father... I know you would rather have no children than you becoming a father to our child like how Paulo was to you but I know your heart... I know you will love our child... You will protect our child... You will put the life of this child above your own... I love you so much..." Francesco sobbed " I love you too... Thank you .." He then pressed his lips against hers.
