Chapter 44.

"Will you do me the honor?" “She had her back to me.

“Of course Dylan. — Brian extended her hand to me, winking, and kissed Ayza on the forehead. "He deserves to know the truth." — And left.

“What is he talking about? — I ask.

Which truth Brian was talking about.

What is Ayza hiding something?!

“Nothing, forget it.

We started dancing, at that moment it was a slow song, she rested her head on my shoulder, I held her waist with one of my hands, and with the other, I held her hand. Just feeling her touch made me all excited.

— Annie talked to you, right?! ’ She just nodded. "And yet you still married him."

“Dylan, I have my reasons.

— The baby?! — I do. "You know I can be their father too!"

She stops for a second and stares at me.

" Ayza, are you okay?"

— I am. She takes a deep breath. "I don't understand what you mean?"

“I can take over him, that's it. — I talk. “I can be a second father. But you took that away from me. — I take a deep breath.

“Dylan, I told you I can't. Please do not insist.

She said that and walked towards the door.

(...)

It's been a few days since the wedding, in the meantime, I don't leave my room.

Annie is here at home, she always invites me to eat, go out, and do other things. I always refuse. I am discouraged.

Lili comes over here and keeps knocking on the door, I just ignore her.

(...)

Today I decided to go out with Annie and the twins for a walk.

I took a shower, shaved, and changed into comfortable clothes, a set for running.

— She is the spitting image of Diogo. — I hear Lili's voice as soon as I approach the kitchen.

"At least he was handsome, right?" — Annie says, and the two laugh.

“Yes, at least that much.

— Imagine when you have yours, they will be beautiful.

— That's true, Vitor is a cat. — Lili says all excited.

They laughed.

— Imagine what Dylan's and Ayza 's will be like. — I stopped when Annie said that sentence.

— Speak softly, he cannot hear. — They start whispering. — But they'll be beautiful, Annie says. — I approach.

"Do you two think so?" — I go into the kitchen and throw a green one at them. “They'll be perfect.

— How do you know? “Lili always falls for mine.

— I just found out. — I do.

— And Liliane, as always with her big mouth. — She scolds herself.

— Are you going to tell me the truth or do I have to call Ayza?

“The twins are yours. Annie speaks.

“Annie! — Lili calls her attention. “One time or another he would know.

"Since when do you know Annie?" — I ask.

"I found out on the wedding day."

— Petterson knows the whole truth, he asked Ayza not to tell you anything, and she accepted. — Lili finishes.

“They don't have that right. “Anger overwhelms me. "I'll call her right now." Lili takes the phone from my hand.

— Wait for them to come back from their trip, it's not good for Ayza to be nervous.

"When are they coming back?"

“In a couple of days. Annie speaks.

— OK. “I went back to my room.

I waited for those two days that seemed like an eternity.

I started texting her.

*** What's On. ***

“— Ayza, I need to talk to you, it's urgent. ”

“ Please answer me. ”

“ I already know everything. ”

“ Can you answer me? ”

“ I just want to hear it from your mouth. ”

“ Please, you're already driving me crazy with this story. ”

*** Whats Off. ***

And for once, she ignored me.

*** Ayza. ***

There are only two weeks left to complete six months of pregnancy.

Today I have an ultrasound to see him.

"Peter, shall we?" Rite him one more time.

It's already the fourth time I've yelled at him. I decide to go to the bedroom and see how he is doing.

As soon as I arrive, he is lying on the floor, I call for him.

"Peter... Petter...

He does not answer. Morgana rushes into the room.

“My God, Ayza girl. “She's terrified.

"Call an ambulance!" — I ask. — Now.

(...)

The ambulance does not take long to arrive.

As soon as we arrive at the hospital, he goes straight to the ICU.

Sometime later the doctor appears and says that he is in a coma. And we don't know when he will wake up. I'm groundless.

When I feel like I'm going to fall, someone catches me, and just by the touch of their hands, I know it's him.

—Dylan. My voice comes out in a whisper, and I start to cry.

“Come here little one. — He hugs me.

— Ayza. — Only then do I notice Lili's presence.

“How… With

“I called your house, Morgana told me what happened. He didn't even let me finish the sentence. “And here we are.

— Thanks.

“I'll get you some tea, Ayza. — Lili goes towards the diner.

“How is he?” Dylan asks.

“He's in a coma, and the doctors don't know when he's going to wake up. — I do.

— Try to calm down Ayza, think about our children. I froze when I heard that sentence. “You don't have to be like that. Dylan tries to calm me down. — I know I'm a father. He sighs and continues. “I did the math, and you got pregnant on the day of the awards.

What a fucking good memory he has!

“I couldn't tell you, I thought the twins were yours. "I got out of your embrace.

“And you think they and I have no right to know the truth. — He says pointing towards my belly. “What were you going to do? — Question. "Would you never tell me the truth?"

“I was going to go back to my hometown, but Petter asked me to stay, and he loves our kids like they were his own. "I said that, putting my hand on my stomach.

— Look Ayza, I don't want any trouble. ’ He pauses. "Since you didn't want to stay with me..." He was crestfallen. — At least don't deny me the opportunity to live with them, I want to, I need to raise them.

“Okay, Dylan. — Deep breath. — You have that right and I cannot deny it to you.

After some time Lili came back. I called Tina and told her what had happened.

“How is he?” — Tina arrives all euphoric.

"He's in a coma and we don't know when he'll wake up." — I do.

— Oh my God! She puts her hand over her mouth.

— Where are your parents?

— They're in NY, they had a company emergency. “She sits next to me.

— Our! Is Dylan here?

He had gone to the bathroom.

— Yes, Dylan is Lili's brother.

"Does he already know about the twins?" Tina asks.

“And how do you know? — What was supposed to be a "secret" is now becoming a headline.

“Peter told me. She gives an awkward little smile. “That must be why he's avoiding me.

"Who's avoiding you?" — I ask without understanding.

“Dylan, I asked him out, but he always makes a lame excuse.

— Oh!

"You don't mind if I talk to him, do you?"

People! I didn't know Tina was like that, wild.

— Of course not. — I lie.

I had to stop myself from flying into her neck. But I couldn't interfere in his life. He also deserves to be happy.

(...)

Petter has been in a coma for a month now, I go to see him every day. His health is not improving. I miss you. I have to finish decorating my little ones' room, but without him, I won't make it.

I'm running his companies. I didn't change anything, I just continued what he was already doing.

I've been ignoring Dylan, he's seeing Tina, she told me so herself.

What a desire to choke there.

Today I have an ultrasound to see my little ones, Dylan is going along, just because Lili is going too.
