After some time, Joshua and Maria sat down and watched a film in Mine and Jorge's room. I was downstairs resting as my pain in my stomach stopped. Jorge was still at the hospital as he was worried about Ethan, I started to watch a film when the doorbell rang. I answered the door and Candelaria held me in her arms.
Candelaria: It's been such a long time since I have seen you.
Martina: Oh, I'm still here.
Candelaria: I heard that Ethan fell down the stairs.
Martina: Ah, Jorge called you?
Candelaria: No, Ruggero wanted to apologize for something that happened yesterday, so he called him, and Jorge told him everything.
Martina: I'm surprised you're not hating me as well.
Candelaria: Why would I hate you?
Martina: I don't know it's just Jorge is always biting my head off.
Candelaria: Awe, I wouldn't take it personally he's under a lot of stress right now, with work, Christmas, and now his son.
Martina: Well, you obviously know more than me, would you like some tea?
Candelaria: Uh, sure, and what do you mean?
Martina: It doesn't matter.
Candelaria: Well, obviously It does otherwise you wouldn't have said it.
Martina: It's just I haven't told him what I'm hiding.
Candelaria: What?
Martina: I just can't because it'll upset him more and he's going through so much right now.
Candelaria: What?
Martina: Candelaria, when I moved out of here because I quit, I lived with a new guy called Clemont and I found out I was pregnant with Jorge's baby, but the guy I lived with was very abusive and Jorge saved me, but I have been or had been feeling all sorts of pains in my stomach so yesterday when Jorge was at work and the kids were over yours, I went to see a GP and they gave me to scan. *Tears up*
Candelaria: *Holds her hand* It's okay.
Martina: *Sniffles* I lost the baby. *Breaks down*
Candelaria: *Voice breaks* Wh... what?
Martina: And that's why I went out yesterday I needed time to think about how I was going to tell Jorge because it's going to break him, but mostly I don't think I want to tell him because then that means our baby really is gone.
Candelaria: I'm so sorry, that must be hard, but you still have Maria and Joshua and of course Ethan if he wakes up.
Martina: Yeah, but it's not the same you know this would've been our baby mine and Jorge's, not other people's children.
What I didn't know was that Ruggero and Jorge were behind the kitchen door listening to it all, which made Jorge rub his eye.
Candelaria: But you must tell him, Martina, he needs to know.
Martina: *Wipes her tears* No, he can't know Candelaria, promise me you won't tell him?
Jorge: I already know.
I looked at him in the doorway which made me sigh and look down because now this really was really our baby was gone now.
Jorge: Candelaria, can you leave us to talk?
Candelaria: Sure.
She and Ruggero left and I was standing in the kitchen trying not to look at him, because I couldn't.
