Chapter 41
FAITH
When Chris finishes speaking he takes the little girl's hand and throws
Christopher: I'll bring it back to you in the evening
Cheska: I see that you have lost all the education that your parents spent their whole lives giving you.
I see Chris turn towards her, his eyes reddened with anger, I take the little girl's hand in his, he advances towards this woman before resuming
Christopher: dare to talk about my parents again with your mouth
I walk towards him before stroking his arms from behind, he turns to me he looks at the little one and me before asking me to go away
Christopher: am so excited to see our baby
Me: do you mean our daughter? Laugh
Chelsea: yes a girl we are going to play with dolls together, you will let me play with dolls with her, right?
Me: Of course I'll let you play doll with her, but for now you could do it with him "laugh"
Chris: There's no way I'm doing that.
Me laughing: is this a challenge?
Chris: uuhhhh…look at the doctor here
What makes us frankly tide, he leaves us and goes to talk to the doctor, who given the turn of their conversation must be an acquaintance of his, when they finish they approach us
The doctor: finally I meet the famous faith, with all the work you did I imagined you more imposing or more robust than her
Me: to be imposing I am with my big belly there
The doctor: no, pregnancy suits you very well
Chris: So what if we were going to deal with what really brings us here?
The doctor: the big jealous
He turns to little Chelsea and lowers himself to be level with her
The doctor: what is the name of our beautiful little princess?
Chelsea: I'm Chelsea and you?
The doctor: I'm robert, do you want to come and listen to the baby's heartbeat with us?
Chelsea: yes, yes, shall we go?
The doctor: ok here we go
We go to the ultrasound room arrive laba they sit in the chair and the nurse gives me a shirt to change into when I come back he asks me to lie down on the ultrasound table so that we can proceed to ultrasound
During the ultrasound I see my two soldiers well focused on what the doctor says, in the end it is Chelsea who is the first the first to ask the question that burns our lips to all
Chelsea: is it a boy or a girl?
The doctor: the baby doesn't want to show us, he wants to surprise you, it seems
Faith: how do we prepare the baby's room?
Christopher: I like the idea of being surprised
Faith: don't worry it will be a girl
When we finish the ultrasound we spent the day outside visiting the city, since I arrived it's my first time to go out and I admit that I like everything I see, Chelsea and I are falling from fatigue which pushes us to finally go home, arrived at the house we go up to sleep Chelsea and I in the room
I wake up a few hours later alone in bed, she was no longer there, when I go down I see Elisabeth who tells me that they are next to the swimming pool, I join them at the edge of the swimming pool she was bored no way
Me: so we have fun without me?
Chelsea running towards me: come sit next to me
Leila: so they forget me now what?
Me: lol stop being jealous
She settles me on one of the rails by the pool and sits in the middle, we were sitting there when Chris arrives with pastries
Me: you have to believe that you read my thoughts, I thought to myself that some
Leila: it's because he knows you can't live without food and sweets
Me taking the tray: I guess you pass your turn
Chris: darling we have to go home now
Chelsea: already? Can't we wait a bit?
Chris: we're going to bring you back so that mom doesn't get angry
Me: next time we'll take your stuff so you can spend the night here
Chelsea smiling: is it true?
Me: yes, next time we'll have a girls' night out
Chelsea: okay provided you don't wait too long
Me: next weekend, what do you say?
Chelsea jumping in my arms: yesiiiiii… you come with us?
Me: I'm not going to let my little princess go alone
Chris: pretend like we're not here
CHRISTOPHER
Chelsea says goodbye to Leila, and we head for the exit when Faith joins us with a dish in hand with a piece of cake, I guess it's for the little one, we get in the car and James drives us to Cheska's home, I realize that we are entering a neighborhood where I never thought I would see Cheska, I wonder what happened for her to end up in this kind of place with the little one , we park in front of a building that is practically falling apart, I ask the little girl if this is really where they live, she answers in the affirmative, she leads us to the third floor on foot since the elevator was out of order, we s stopped in front of a door and the doorbell rang, when she came out she looked surprised to see us there, her hair was disheveled, and almost drunk
Cheska surprised: but what are you doing here?
Me: did you forget that I had to bring you the little one?
Cheska: and her, what the hell is she doing here? You couldn't bring the little one on your own, you had to bring your bodyguard, right?
I force the pass to go home, Faith and Chelsea follow me too, when we get into the bedroom there were bottles of whiskey all over the living room that she is trying to put away, she smelled of cigarettes everywhere
Me going into a red rage: don't tell me that you do all this when the little one is here
Cheska: lol, you're not going to show up today and try to play model dad huh, where have you been all these years?
Faith: Are you coming to show me your room?
She leaves with the little one, I guess it's so that she doesn't hear the conversation I'm having with Cheska
Me: what kind of mother can you be? You deprived me of my daughter for all these years to make her live in this environment?
Cheska laughing: now you know it's your daughter, when you were giving the little one a paternity test, didn't you know?
Me: really pray that the little one isn't mine, if not...
Cheska: if not what? What are you going to do ?
I don't answer him, I pick up the bottles that I put in a bag, I pick up all the cigarettes I find, I try to restore some order in the living room, I open the window to clear the smoke before going to get faith and the little one, when we come back she was sitting in front of the tv
Me: I'm picking her up for the next weekend,
We say goodbye to the little one before taking the road home…..
