My family didn't talk about that subject again, so I had to keep asking and I thought they were almost saying yes but I noticed that my grandma's mood kept getting worse.
Marta and Martim spend a lot of time at our place because theirs was still not totally ready for them to live in. I remember a day that Marta and I went to the supermarket and were talking about our plans; she was very excited about the wedding organization and I was happy with something else that she didn't know yet.
- "So, Miguel and I talked when we were in the Maldives and... We decided to have another baby."
- "Oh my God, that's amazing! But I was actually hoping you would say you want to get married too, so we could have two weddings in one, it would be amazing."
- "Wow, Marta, you make the whole movie don't you?" We laughed. "Let's grab yogurts."
- "But what made you decide that?" Marta asked with a curious look.
- "I'm 30 and I always said I didn't want to have kids late, so we think having two now is ideal, we can be young parents and travel the world with them."
- "That's a great idea actually, I'm starting to think about having one myself but we don't even have a house yet so, I guess when things start to be more stable we'll really think about it."
- "And you still have a wedding to plan! Let's pay, we already have everything."
A while after that conversation, Miguel and I talked about how things would be after we had a second baby, we wanted to start thinking about it with time so we would have to worry about fewer things during the pregnancy.
After a while, I started feeling nauseous but I thought it was because of a party we had been to the night before, I had a great time but ate way too much. The days passed by, I wasn't getting better and I thought "What if...". As soon as I left work, I went to the closest pharmacy, bought 2 pregnancy tests and when I got home went to the bathroom to take them. A couple of minutes later, the tests were ready and they both were positive. I started screaming and when I got to the living room, I ran to Miguel.
- "We did it, we're gonna have another baby." I said smiling a lot.
- "Are you serious?" He said and took the pregnancy test from my hands so he could see with his own eyes. "Come here, we're gonna have another baby." He hugged me and gave me a soft kiss on the forehead. "I love you so much, I can't believe in the family we're creating."
- "Our own family... I love you three so much." I kissed him and we went to watch Maria sleep for a while, thinking about how happy we were with the life we were making.
As my father avoided all the Christmas talk and the airplane tickets would be more expensive the closer we were to Christmas, I called him to see if he had already made a decision and to tell him the good news.
