CHAPTER 176
ALICE
I can't believe everything that we have been through in the last 24 hours, I have never felt so afraid in my entire life. Just imagining that I could lose my daughter and my grandson or granddaughter, my heart was broken, all I wanted more than anything was to have my little girl in my arms and be able to nurture her, care for her, and give her all the love that one day I did not give her.
When Matteo entered the apartment with her, I hugged and kissed her with such happiness, we had a very relaxed family pizza night, but I knew that my daughter was different, that this change would be for life, it was a trauma, lucky that hijo de la puta is dead or I would kill him with my own hands.
After we had eaten enough of Luis' wonderful pizzas, Luna and Matteo went to their room so that she could rest, I tried to convince Arthur to sleep in his room, but it was impossible and I couldn't even fight with him, I understood he was scared by what happened to his sister and missed his father, that is he is in our midst lying tightly clinging to both of us holding our hands on his tummy watching a drawing while Luis and I held each other's hands, we do not need to exchange any words, one perfectly understood what the other felt, it was a feeling of peace in having our little one with us every day better and our baby well inside my belly. I miss my other children and my goddaughter very much and can't wait to go home.
It did not take long for my little pest to sleep and Luis had put the tampons in his eyes, yes he still used the tampons to sleep and was much better, almost ready to travel and still needed his eye drops and of course would use glasses for a while to protect, we stayed there watching each other until he fell asleep
THE NEXT MORNING
I wake up with a little being tickling me, when I see it was Arthur and Luis had a tray of breakfast for us
Alice - huum, how delicious breakfast in bed with my loves
Arthur - everything for our queen - hugging me and giving me a long kiss on the cheek
Alice - Oh, how beautiful, my love, but won't your sister and Matteo eat?
Luis - She is too lazy to get up so Matteo went to have breakfast with her in the bedroom and we will have breakfast with you - stealing a kiss
Alice - Then let's eat, because in a little while this young man has an appointment with Dr. Estevam.
Luís - He approaches the bed, placing the tray for them to eat - I hope he discharges you today, son, I can't stand to be away from you anymore
Arthur - Not me either, Dad, I miss you, my brothers, my godparents, and my friends at school. To give you an idea, I even miss my own bed.
Alice - I would say that you are dramatic, but I am also dying of missing everyone and of being able to sleep cuddled with your father every night - smiling at my handsome and delicious husband who I really want to hold in my hands, but my son did not cooperate and I would not say that to him, would I?
Arthur - Oh, not a bath, mom - he grumbles, crossing his arms
Alice - The son of the most smelly man in the world refusing to take a bath
Luís - What an ugly thing son, do you have to take a bath or do you want the bugs to come to you? a cockroach can get in where it shouldn't, I know you are brave and not afraid, but it is disgusting isn't it?
Arthur - God, Dad, that's disgusting - grimacing
Luís - This way you will not find a girlfriend, girls like clean and smelly boys.
Alice - You can stop that my baby is not old enough to date yet - She speaks with jealousy.
Arthur - Oh, how innocent Mom is!
Alice - her eyes widen - WHAT? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, ARTHUR BECKERMANN?
Arthur - I have a girlfriend mommy, I have three girlfriends
Luís - Three? don't you think that's too many?
Arthur - I had five, but two no longer wanted to be my girlfriend because they were very jealous and did not want to share me with anyone
Luis - And if you don't take a bath you'll run out of them.
Alice - scolds - "Luis, you are encouraging your son to have several girlfriends, is that right?
Luis - Love, don't take it seriously, it's just a childish thing.
Arthur - I am not a child and for your information Bernardo has four girlfriends and Melissa already has a boy who wants to date her at school, but Bernardo and I will not let him.
Luis - WHAT? YOUR SISTER? NOT EVEN OVER MY DEAD BODY YOUR SISTER WILL ONLY BE ABLE TO DATE IN 50 YEARS
Alice - Laughs - I thought it was just childish stuff Luis
Luis - But she is not a child, she is a baby, she is my little girl, Maria Alice, you have to do something, I don't know, talk to her when we get back.
Alice - the day you talk to your son and teach him that he can't have multiple girlfriends and how a girl should be treated I'll talk to my daughter. After all, if you don't want them to do anything with your daughter, teach your children not to do it with others'.
Luís - raising his hands in surrender - okay, then I will have a talk with him and take the opportunity to talk to Bernardo, now can we eat and turn around to go to the appointment?
Arthur - Yes - laughing at his parents
Alice - you laugh, you little pest, I don't know who you're laughing at
Luís - Are you sure you don't know, Maria? - smiles debauched
The three of them stayed there eating and talking until it was time to take a shower and change to go to the doctor's office, before leaving they went to Luna and Matteo's room to see if everything was okay and they were watching movies cuddled up tight
Alice - lazy day today? - says smiling
Luna- today I deserve it mommy, I deserve to rest
Luís - Yes you deserve it daughter, rest, do you want something from the street?
Luna - I want those Harry Potter magic beans - salivating
Alice - are you serious? - arching her eyebrows - Luna
Luna - I have a pregnancy craving mommy, don't you?
Alice - I haven't had it this time
Arthur - obaaaaaaa we will go to Harry Potter's candy store, thanks nephew, you were not even born and you are already a fan just like my uncle here - jumps up and goes to bed, says goodbye to his sister and brother-in-law with a kiss and leaves humming
Alice - We'll call you if there's anything wrong
Luna - Be careful mommy and daddy
Luís - Don't worry daughter, we'll be fine until later.
The three of them leave in the direction of the doctor's office, they were all anxious for her appointment, waiting to be discharged and finally return home. With all her family and friends.
