Chapter 156

AUNT MARY

Luna was desperate at the possibility of becoming a mother and couldn't disguise the tension running through her body. She was afraid of how Matteo would react. She spent the whole dinner distracted oblivious to all the conversation, Luis even questioned, but she claimed to have a headache and Alice signaled that it was not to insist. After they ate, each went to his room.

Alice and Luís were tense because the little one would have surgery the next morning. Despite being tired neither of them could sleep, they were hugging each other and exchanging caresses

Alice: Did you talk to Matteo?

Luis - Yes, and did you talk to Luna?

Alice - Yes, I did, I think they will be fine, but how was it with Matteo?

Luis - Oh, honey, he is tired, they are both in their last year of college and all these academic worries, and then there is this girl who likes to tease Luna. Matteo said that they have been fighting since the first semester over something. He said he is going to prepare a surprise trip for them as soon as they finish school. And how were you with our daughter?

Alice - Fine, I guess.

Luis - What do you mean? - confused -

Alice - As I imagined they are insecure, a lot of changes in their lives and there is this girl and her teacher who is on top of them. I think for the first time any boy besides Matteo has caught her attention

Luis - Luna cheated on Matteo? - shocked -

Alice - Luis - scolds - that really screams for Matteo to hear

Luis - it's just that I did not expect this

Alice - it was not really a betrayal, according to her it was a kiss and as soon as she came to her senses she ran away

Luis - You know that this is treason, yes

Alice - Oh love, it depends, these young people nowadays you never know. Maybe he doesn't consider it

Luis - You don't even believe what you are saying. But then she doesn't like him anymore? If she doesn't like him it's better to let go - I told him that if one day he stops liking Luna he has to let go and not betray her and make her suffer and that goes for her too.

Alice - look honey, I believe that they both love each other, they are just very young and have hardly dated other people. Luna is going through a phase that makes her hormones rise to the surface and this guy was all over her. There is no hormone that can stand it.

Luis - Maria Alice, are you saying that our daughter is pregnant? - in Panic -

Alice - Look she didn't want me to tell you until she was sure, but I can't hide this from you

Luis - She is not sure then?

Alice - No, in fact it hadn't even crossed her mind until I brought it up

John - What made you think that our daughter is pregnant?

Alice - everything, this insecure one, her body is different even though I have been an absent mother for much of Luna's life I know her body like no one else I used to draw her clothes myself until she started drawing and yes your daughter is with bigger breasts, wider hips and with a change of mood very fast. She cries and in an instant she is freaking out and then she cries again.

Luis - You're right, but what are we going to do now?

Alice - We? Well, give them all the support they need. But for the moment you will pretend not to know anything, otherwise she won't tell me anything else and tomorrow while we wait for our little one to be operated on you distract Matteo and I will go with her to the examination

Luis - You are not going to tell Matteo? - perplexed -

Alice - Of course she will. She just wants to do the exam first - our daughter is afraid, love. She is afraid of Matteo not wanting the baby, she is afraid of not wanting her anymore and of her not knowing how to be a good mother. All of her behavior is my fault, they are traumas that I left in her, honey. Please help me with this, pretend you don't know anything and don't tell Matteo anything.

Luis - I hate it when you get sad like this and start blaming yourself for everything. Love, I told you it's not your fault, you were sick and you didn't do things because you wanted to. Now you are fine and you are the best mother our children could have. - He kisses the top of Alice's head.

Alice - Thank you my love you are always so perfect, I love you so much

Luis - I love you, little redhead

Meanwhile in Luna and Matteo's room they both couldn't sleep either. They were cuddled together, but unlike the pleasant climate in the other room there the silence was uncomfortable until Matteo could not stand it and broke the silence
