PENULTIMATE CHAPTER

AUNT MARY

As the days went by, Annie and little Carol went home and were receiving all the love from the family. Annie unfortunately had to have her uterus removed, but she wasn't sad because she already had two princesses and two stepchildren, Matteo and Bernardo, not to mention her godchildren.

Tom was as much of a baby-sitter as he was in the previous pregnancy, he and Martha didn't let Annie do anything and helped a lot in taking care of the baby. Luna and Matteo were always together, they said they wanted to train because soon little Harry would arrive, yes they did a lottery with the names they liked the most and it turned out to be Harry that Arthur wanted.

Arthur and Bernardo were happy that they would have their own Harry and made a thousand plans for when their nephew would grow up, Luna thought it was cute how her brothers were so anxious as she and Matteo were for Harry's arrival, Melissa and Clarice were a little bit jealous of Carol, but they were always on top of Annie, always wanting to help her giving her a bath and watching her breast feeding the baby.

Alice and Luis were more in love every day and anxious to see the face of their little princess, they had some names in mind, but they kept them under lock and key, because they decided only when they saw her face. Luna was already on maternity leave because she had a small placental abruption and had to rest, which she doesn't do because she stays behind Annie and is always angry, because they wouldn't let her hold the baby in her arms so she wouldn't carry any weight.

Alice was doing well, did not feel pain or anything and continued following her busy life in the company trying to advance what she could to not let Louis and the mother-in-law overloaded, the sex nights with Louis were increasingly intense despite the big belly and not being able to dare so much in the positions they always found a way.

Luna was afraid of a normal birth and opted for a C-section, but little Harry decided that he wanted to come into the world ahead of time. A week before her delivery she stubbornly decided to arrange the baby's room, when the children were at school and everyone was working, while the maids were distracted preparing lunch, she started to change the place of the furniture by herself and the force that she did ended up bursting her bag despite everything she felt no pain, she got a little scared and called Alice

CALL ON -

Alice - Hi daughter, I am busy right now, it is very urgent

Luna - mom my bag burst

Alice - Wide her eyes - WHAT? is there someone with you?

Luna - There are only the maids downstairs and I am in Harry's room

Alice - Okay, are you feeling any pain?

Luna - No, but I am scared mommy please come home

Alice - I will come, do the following, ask one of the maids to accompany you to the bathroom while you take a shower and to pack up your things and the baby's. You have already told Matteo that you want to come home? Have you told Matteo yet?

Luna - Not yet mama, I just called you, I did not know what to do, I am scared

Alice - Stay calm my love, soon you will be with Harry in your arms, let me talk to Matteo. In a little while mommy will be there princess

OF CALL

Luis - pale - is that what I am thinking?

Alice - Yes my love, you are going to be a grandfather, we need to go home now and on the way I will call Tom to take Matteo, I don't know how he will react so I prefer to tell Tom

Luis - OK, I will tell mommy and ask the secretary to reschedule our appointments

Alice - I'm turning everything off here - Louis gives Alice a kiss and leaves.

Alice turns off the computers, picks up her things and Luís', which she forgot because she was so anxious and soon finds him at the reception desk talking to their secretary. They say goodbye to her and go to the car on the way while Luís drives Alice calls Tom and tells him about it asking to speak to Matteo. Tom canceled all his and his son's appointments, talked to his son who almost fainted from emotion, and they went to Alice's house.

Alice, Luis, Matteo and Tom arrived practically together at the house as soon as they entered Luna was walking from one side to the other, the pains had begun and she was nervous and crying with fear as soon as she saw her fiancé she hugged and kissed

Luna - love I am so scared, it hurts

Matteo - it will be alright, let's go to the hospital, I called Allie and she is already waiting for us

Luis - come on I will take you, where are your things my princess?

Luna - on the couch dad - she says crying and Luis hugs her - dad I have never been so scared

Luis - You do not have to be afraid, we are all with you.

Luna - I know, but I am afraid of not being strong enough for him to be born and of not knowing how to be a mother

Alice - Of course you will be my daughter, you are strong, you are my warrior, you have been through so much, you will be the best mommy in the world, and Harry will be very proud of you and daddy here - hugging Matteo

Matteo - thanks auntie I can't wait to see our Harry

Tom - I am very proud of you my children, I am going home to talk to Annie and then to the hospital - go to Luna and give her a kiss on the forehead - dad loves you and is very proud of you, you are strong and you don't need to be afraid

Luna - I love you too dad - Tom gives his son one last kiss and hugs him - Luna

Tom - Congratulations my son, I am proud of you both, go and take care of your family, I love you my son -

Matteo - I love you dad, thank you for everything.

Tom says goodbye to everyone. Luis and Matteo help Luna get into the car. As soon as they arrived Allie was waiting. Matteo got in with her, and Alice and Luis went to fill out the form, and then they waited.

Alice and Luis were waiting for hours and no news, Luna took eight hours and forty-five minutes to have the baby, Matteo was by her side all the time holding her hand helped to take at least three baths, helped to walk and do exercises on the ball, she screamed of pain at each contraction making force pushing out, said she would pull the member of Matteo or never again have sex and the poor man did not know what to do for his fiancée, to see her suffering. All the suffering was worth it when a thin cry took over the room and a cloth was wrapped around Luna.

Matteo - look baby our baby, he is so beautiful, thank you for making me the happiest man in the world, I love you so much - stealing a kiss from Luna -

Luna - thank you baby for always being by my side, I love you so much, hey baby, look your big daddy is crying

Matteo - I am really happy, I never imagined I could be as happy as I am now baby, this is thanks to you two, I didn't even know it needed to be completed until I heard our son's cry - smoothing his little head and kissing the top of Luna's head

The baby was taken away to be checked and cleaned up and Dr. Allie finished taking care of Luna and then transferred to the room. Matteo went outside to tell them that Harry was born and everything was fine, when he went outside he didn't expect it, but there was not only Alice, but Bernardo, Arthur, Clarice and Melissa. They didn't give it a rest until the family driver took them to the hospital. Tom had stopped by with Annie, but they left because of Carol.

Allie managed to get them to let the children in, but quickly to see Luna together with Luis and Alice, they went in and soon the baby arrived in the room with the nurse and it was just a party and unbelievably Harry wasn't scared by the mess the children were making. Alice was already tired and had the children decided to leave soon to make privacy for the couple with the baby knew that there they would be well cared for and receive help.
