Chapter 159
Alice - Luna I wonder if you could go outside for a while with me, I am feeling suffocated in here.
Luna - She realizes her mother's true intention - Of course, let's get some air, honey, will you stay with my father?
Matteo - Sure, go ahead, anything you want, call me
Luis - Hugs Alice, is everything alright?
Alice - Yes, baby, don't worry, we won't be long - stealing a kiss and winking at him
Luis - Understanding my message - Ok, anything you need, call me, we will be here
Alice - I will, honey, we will call you if there is anything else.
Alice and Luna go to the reception and talk to the receptionist about the situation and she says that a pregnancy test doesn't need an order, they just need to fill out the form and wait to be called, they soon collect the material and two hours later they would have the result, they go quickly to the cafeteria to disguise it by taking some coffee to Luis and Matteo.
Alice, Luna and Luis were very anxious not only for the surgery, but also for the pregnancy test. An hour had passed and Alice stood up and started pacing nervously
Luis - Calm down my love, you'll feel sick this way.
Alice: It's been an hour since our son was inside.
John - I know honey, the doctor said it would take about an hour, it should be over soon
Alice - Oh baby, I am about to explode, our baby is inside
Luna - Mom, don't be like this, you need to stay calm, Arthur will need all of us, but mainly his mother, and if you get nervous like this you will get sick and won't be able to take care of him.
Matteo - It's true auntie, stay calm, I will get some tea for you at the cafeteria to calm you down.
Luna - I'll go with you and bring it to dad too.
When Luna and Matteo were about to leave Dr. Estevam enters the room still wearing his surgical clothes.
Luis - So Doctor, how is our boy?
Dr. Estevam - Well, the surgery was a success, we took a little while to start, because he was anxious and threatened to have an asthma attack, but we cheered him up and everything went well, now he is sleeping and we prefer to leave him medicated to sleep a lot because as soon as the anesthesia wears off he will feel uncomfortable and may become agitated.
Alice - Is he really well? Without any sequelae?
Dr. Estevam - Yes, everything is fine with your son, now the hardest part is the recovery and making him have patience
Alice - I can handle this
Luís - We will solve it, love, we are a family and we are in this together. - Hugging Alice from behind
Alice - Yes - welcoming her husband's embrace
Dr. Estevam - Well, in a little while he will enter the room, but as I said he is medicated for sleep. Don't worry if he sleeps a lot. Well, now I'll be going. I have other patients, but if you need me, just ask one of the nurses to call me.
Alice - Once again, thank you doctor for everything.
Dr. Estevam - I'm just doing my job, now it's up to you - I leave the room -
The four of them celebrate the success of the operation by hugging each other and then going to sleep serenely with a band around their eyes
Alice - Oh my little one, he is barely small and already going through these situations
Nurse Clarice - He will be fine, ma'am, the recovery is a little boring, but he is a good boy
Luís - Thank you ma'am, we know. Thank you for taking such good care of our boy.
Nurse Clarice - No need to thank us, we are just doing our job, I will be at the nursing station, if you need anything, just call. He will sleep for a long time, I believe he will only wake up in the late afternoon.
Alice - I understand, thank you very much - nurse leaves - well, if you want you can go home and I will stay with him, I will sleep here today.
Luna - mommy, how about you go home with daddy and rest, and Matteo and I will stay here and later you can come back and sleep with him.
Alice - No, I want to stay with my son.
Luis - I know, I want to stay with him too, but let's take a shower, rest a bit and then stay here all night with our baby
Alice - Sweetheart - crying
Luis - please honey, he will not be alone, he will be with our daughter and Matteo
Matteo - yes auntie I promise that if anything happens I will call you in the same instant
Alice - promise you will take care of my children?
Matteo - I promise
Alice - ok, you win, let's go home, but later we will come back to sleep here
Luna - Yes, mom, go eat something decent and rest.
Luis - you go eat something and stay here for a while, then when you come back we will come back
Matteo - Then let's go to that snack bar across the avenue, my love, you love the things there.
Luna - Come on, we won't be long.
The two say goodbye, go to the snack bar, eat, and then return so that Alice and Luis can go and rest.
