Chapter 270

Antonio

It was Friday morning and the first appointment at the OBGYN I was beyond excited to hear what the doctor will say and when the due date will be. I was also excited to find out how long the morning sickness will take; hopefully not long poor Emilia was puking her guts out, yet again this morning. Through all the excitement I was also a bit scared if Dante didn’t show up it will mean he won’t be part of our marriage anymore and that will rip Emilia apart. I know she’s been through this before with him it’s not like it’s the first time he has doubts but he promised her after that first time he was all it. Clearly, he is not ready but he has to figure that out for himself. I’m more than ready to marry Emilia and be the father of her babies and clearly, she’s more than happy to marry me as well even if it’s just me but she will be sad of that, I’m sure. We got ready, when Emilia came out of the walk-in closet she took my breath away in her blue outfit. I walked over to her and gave her a kiss “You look amazing sweetheart.” “Thank you, Antonio you look handsome as always.” “Why thank you mam. Does this mean you think it’s a boy?” I motioned to her outfit. She gave me a smack on my shoulder “No Antonio I didn’t even think about it.” She said. “Well then let’s go hopefully he can give you something for your morning sickness.” “Wouldn’t that be great?” Emilia said. We walked down the stairs and out the front door where Luca was waiting for us. He opened the door for Emilia, I helped her in and then got in on the other side. “You ready sweetheart.” “I’m ready.”

Emilia

I was almost pissing in my pants that is how nervous I was. I know I told Antonio I was ready but fuck I was nervous and the fact that Dante wasn’t there couldn’t be a good sign. I would just have to learn to live with it if he doesn’t want to be part of us anymore. It’s not going to be easy like I said I’m so use to him but then on the other hand it’s not the first time he got cold feet and then do I really want someone in my kids’ lives that couldn’t stick by a decision or his word. But I put that to the back of my head and tried to get excited about the doctors’ appointment. When we got to the OBGYN’s room’s Luca dropped us off at the entrance of the doctors’ rooms then he went looking for a parking. “You ready?” Antonio asked again. This time I told the truth “I’m scared.” “I’m right here sweetheart I’m right here.” We didn’t even sit in the waiting room for 5 minutes before the receptionist called us into the doctor’s room. “Doctor Bavga, I’m Antonio Morelli and this here is my lovely fiancé, Emilia Rossi.” “Ah good day, both of you are Italian?” “Yes, we are.” “So nice to help people from my mother country.” “Emilia if you will just go in there take of your cloths and put the robe on.” He told me I looked at Antonio that knew immediately he needed to go with me. “Can I go with her doctor?” “Yes, off course.” He took my hand and we got into the examining room everything looks odd for me even the bed. I got undress and Antonio held the robe for me, when I had that on, I got onto the bed and we waited for the doctor, Antonio didn’t leave my hand for a second. “Okay then, how far along are you?” The doctor asked us, Antonio was the first to answer “We where actually in hospital last weekend doctor, Emilia was very sick threw up the whole weekend and had a fever she couldn’t keep anything down they did a pregnancy test and told us she was 6 or 7 weeks pregnant.” “Oh, okay and Emilia how are you feeling now?” “It’s just the morning sickness that is getting me down and the tiredness.” “Both of those are normal. Do you get sick through the day or just in the morning?” “So far just in the morning.” “Okay good. I’m going to put some gel on your stomach it’s going to be a bit cold.” He put the gel on took that magic wand and started to look for the baby. “There it is” The doctor showed to the blob on the screen, Emilia you are 8 weeks pregnant your baby is the size of a raspberry by know, see the baby is 16mm long with your next appointment he will be double the size.” “Doctor said he, is it a boy?” Antonio quickly asked. “No, we can’t see what the gender is but by your next appointment we will be able to see. What I can say is that everything is normal and in order.” I tear slipped down my cheek when the doctor said that, I was so worried. “You, okay?” The doctor asked “I’m okay thank you doctor I was just worried because I was so sick and all the morning sickness.” “No don’t worry everything is 100%.” “Great thank you doctor. And the due date?” Antonio asked “I will say the end of June but I will give you an accurate date with your next appointment.” “Thank you doctor.” “Anything else?” The doctor asked “Is there anything you can give me for morning sickness.” “Sorry my dear there is nothing but you are almost over the worst is the only good news I can give you about the morning sickness.” “Okay thank you doctor.” “Here is a picture of your little baby.” The doctor gave us the sonar picture which Antonio took with a huge smile. “You can just make another appointment with my receptionist for over a month.” “Only then?” “Yes, after that the appointments will become more regular but if you have any problems or queries don’t hesitate to get in contact with me.” The doctor gave Antonio his card which had his private number on. “Thank you doctor.” “Yes, thank you.” I said as we walked out.

The baby is perfect Emilia is perfect but now the problem is Dante didn’t show up which means he is out and the news will have to be shared with Emilia but I’ll wait until tonight now we are just going to enjoy being healthy and having a healthy baby. “You want to go and eat something sweetheart.” “I wouldn’t say no for a celebrity lunch.” “Well then let me take you to a place where we can celebrate.” Emilia came closer and kissed me. “Thank you for being here Antonio thank you for always having my back.” “I will always have your back sweetheart.”

We went to a restaurant, where Emilia had a nonalcoholic Mimosa and we ordered some steak and salads which where delicious Emilia even orders some dessert, when we got back to the SUV Emilia said she was tired and needed to go to bed. She laid her head on my shoulder and before Luca even got into traffic she was out. When we got at home, I saw Dante sitting on the porch which was skeptical already because he had a key for my house but I knew what it meant he was here to break up with Emilia and probable me.
