CHAPTER 193

ALICE

I am so proud of my daughter, she has been so determined in her work and doesn't stop losing her essence, although she is still sad for the loss that she suffered, her relationship with Matteo is wonderful, she is organizing her wedding and she organized the event and today's fashion show practically by herself, of course she had Carmen's help, mine, Luis', Matteo's and Annie's stubbornness, but it was almost all her.

The event was a success, tomorrow it will be in every newspaper and magazine of the country and the world, what she did was innovative, she thought of a niche of people that no designer thinks of and it is a group of people that will always exist.

Well, now we are at the hospital waiting for some news from Annie, Luis was already waiting for more than two hours alone and we have already arrived a half hour or so and nobody shows up to say if everything is okay with Annie and the baby

Tom - appears panting - the baby is born - we all hug him and congratulate him

Luna - how are the godmother and my goddaughter?

Tom - as far as possible fine. Carolina will have to take a light bath and receive medicine to strengthen her lungs because she was born prematurely, but she is strong. She is in the nursery, you can go see her now

Alice - and Annie? how is she?

Tom - she is sleeping now, she was a warrior Alice, she had to fight hard for herself and for our daughter. It was a painful birth until the last moment, they tried to deliver her normally, but then her blood pressure started to rise, they even wanted to take me out of there, but I was firm and did not allow them to take me out.

Luis - So it was Cesarean?

Tom - Yes, as her blood pressure was high, she began to suffocate our daughter, it all happened very quickly. Allie said that she will not wake up today, she is exhausted

Matteo - so we can't see her today?

Tom - no son, but you can see her sister and goddaughter, tomorrow you can come and see her, I will stay here tonight with her. Can one of you get her things and the baby's things

Alice: That's fine, we'll get it, and we'll bring you some change. Do you want to eat? I'll stay with her for now, you can't stay here all night without eating.

Tom - I'm not hungry

Alice - Now you need to eat more, you need to be well for them. Go get something to eat and a cup of coffee, I'll stay with Annie. Then we'll go home to get our things and I'll ask them to prepare something for you in case you feel hungry in the middle of the night.

Tom - Thank you Alice - hugging - You too Luis, I don't know where we would be without you

Luis - Don't worry, we are family, one for each other, remember, let's go - I want to see my little princess

Alice - so I'm going to go stay with Annie and love, make him eat something, you know how stubborn he is - giving Luis a kiss - Tom - Annie's room is Annie's room - 209

Tom - Annie's room is 209 - I nodded and went to my friend's room

I stayed for almost an hour in the room with Annie watching her sleep, she was in such a nice sleep. I was so proud of my friend for facing a difficult birth and having everything work out so well I watched her sleeping there that I didn't even realize I had fallen asleep and woke up with Tom coming into the room and calling me

Tom - hey sleepyhead wake up, you can go home and rest

Alice - I didn't even realize I fell asleep, sorry

Tom - No problem, Annie is sleeping and will continue to do so until tomorrow, now go home and rest, tomorrow you will come to see her

Alice - Yes, I will, I need to put this princess to sleep - I talk smoothing my belly - but first I will organize your things.

Tom - Thank you very much, Matteo and Luna will sleep there tonight to be with the little one

Alice - I was going to take her to sleep at home, but if you think it's better this way

Tom -ah, whatever you think is best, that's fine with me

Alice - ok then, I'll stop by the nursery real quick and go until tomorrow - I kiss your cheek - if you have any questions you can call me or Luis

Tom - pulled me into his arms - thank you Alice for always being with me, I love you little girl

Alice - I love you too big guy - I smile at him - you will always be my best friend and can always count on me - you and Annie will always have a special place in my heart.

As soon as I left the room I found only Luis, Matteo and Luna had already gone home to go ahead and Matteo himself would return to deliver everything to his father. I went to see the baby, and she was so small and beautiful and completely in love with that little piece of people and it only made me more anxious to hold my baby in my arms. Luis hugged me from behind, smoothing my belly and I put my hands under his.

Luis - I can't wait to have our little princess in our arms love

Alice - I am also in the little piece, I love you thank you for making me so happy

Luis - I thank you for being this incredible woman and giving me the most beautiful children in the world. I love you Pettit - we kiss tenderly, I turn to face him and hug him - how about going home my love? - he speaks with his forehead pressed against mine - you need to rest

Alice - That's right, but what I really need is you, not rest - I smiled maliciously

Luís - Maria, you have no way - he lets out that grin that only he has - let's go before you get your crazy ideas
