The gangster's little unknown assassin - Part 2 ✔

Chapter 36 - Nonno story time

SAGE'S POV

"How far along are you?" Meredith asked me when we reached her house.

"33 weeks tomorrow." I answered her while getting out of the limousine with my aunts' help.

Meredith hurried to open her front door and ushered us inside, quickly guiding me towards her sofa where I plopped down as if I haven't been sitting down for the last few minutes. Everyone sat down and a tense silence filled the air, no one knew what to say or how to react, except for Blaze, of course. My little mischievous daughter thinks that this is the perfect moment to 'exercise'. My bladder feels like it's going to explode!

"Excuse me, where is the bathroom?" Hazel quickly got up and offered to take me there. She and aunt Jully ended up having to help me up when another Braxton shit hit me strongly, not letting me get up on my own.

"Are you ok?" Hazel whispered to me while taking me to the bathroom.

"As best as I could be." I whispered back through paths of pain.

"Aren't you afraid of going into labor so early?" Hazel whispered nervously while looking between my stomach and my face.

Hearing her question I froze. I had never thought about that. All this time I had my mind set on Blaze being born on October 16 but what if she comes early? I have nothing prepared for her.

And how will I protect her? While she is in my womb I know no one could hurt her but the moment she comes out there is no guarantee that she will always be safe. If Igor got word that she was born he would never stop chasing us, never stop sending men, never stop attacking until he got her. Until he got us.

I can't let that happen!

"Until today I had never even pondered that possibility but one thing I am certain, the moment my daughter is born I am going to my father's den and seek protection for her. I will never willingly let anything happen to her." Hazel had a soft glint in her eyes after hearing my speech, she offered me a gentle smile and squeezed my arm softly before guiding me the rest of the way to the bathroom.

Ten minutes later, when we arrived back in the living room, Doctor Izelda was already there waiting for me.

"Good afternoon, Sage. I heard from your aunt that you required a check-up so, let's go ahead and let me just feel your stomach real quick before we go to a bedroom and I do the rest of the check-up..." Hazel stayed by my side for support and doctor Izalda kneeled before me, feeling all over my stomach. She wore a concentrated expression while touching my belly but the longer she pressed and touched the more her expression slipped and a frown took its place.

"Is everything alright?" I anxiously asked doctor Izelda after seeing a worried glint pass through her eyes.

"Just a minute to confirm..." She muttered, still frowning. My blood pressure spiked with fear after hearing her words, my aunts' worry, and Isaack chewing on his nails didn't help my nerves either.

After exactly forty-seven seconds Doctor Izelda finally got up but her frown remained.

"What's wrong, Izelda? Don't tell she is going into labor?" My aunt quickly asked, beating me to the punch.

"Sage, your daughter has dropped into position, I need a bed, preferable a private bedroom to be able to access you quickly before we have a little Blaze screaming her lungs out."

What the hell...

Doctor Izelda left me in a state of shock. From the corner of my eyes, I could see Miss or Mrs. Meredith leave the room on a run, like a headless chicken, and my aunt talking on the phone with someone. Hazel was hugging my side and Doctor Izelda was on my other side helping me walk towards the room Meredith was guiding us to. Isaack was white as a sheet of paper while still sitting on the sofa, the noise around me was none existent but I could swear by everyone's expressions that there was a lot of talking going on, my head felt like it was floating and suddenly my body felt heavy.
