Separation

     Raquel woke up with classic morning sickness and ran to the bathroom. Sergio woke up as Raquel rose from his arms. He sat up on the bed and waited for her to come out. Raquel came out of the bathroom and dried his face and approached the bed. 

     Sergio: Are you okay?

   ''I'm fine. Morning sickness... Fortunately it won't take long'' she said disappointed.

     Recalling their decisions made them feel bad. Maybe this should have ended soon. Sergio stood up to support her and hugged his wife.
- Come on, let me make breakfast for you. You also rest. Later, I will go to town to talk to the doctor. Okay?

     Raquel shook her head helplessly. He turned around just as he was about to leave the room:
- Raquel! Is this process dangerous for you?

- Every transaction has its dangers, Sergio. But don't worry it's not too high.

     Sergio had read all his life, everything. Now this abortion scared him. Emotional consequences aside, it was an operation after all. Even the slightest possibility that might happen to Raquel was enough to worry her. 

   He called out again: Raquel!

- Yes, honey

- Do you think... I mean, if all this weren't like that... It (he took a quick glance at her stomach)... So do you think it'd be a girl or a boy?

   Raquel was touched, she stopped for a moment.
- I do not know that. And you? What would you like it to be? Have you ever thought about what its gender would be if you had a child?

- Do you know? Actually I saw it in my dream. I never thought about it, but it...it was a boy.

     Raquel couldn't help herself get a tear or two from her eyes. Then they gathered themselves and smiled bitterly. While Raquel was lying down again, Sergio left the room to prepare breakfast.

      After breakfast, Sergio approached Raquel and stroked her hair: Darling, I'm going to town.

     She calmly shook her head. Sergio put her head between his hands.
- Are you ready?

- Yeah, Sergio, go ahead as soon as possible. It seems like every second is getting harder.

   Sergio nodded. He was giving a quick kiss and leaving the door.

"Sergio, we got what we needed yesterday," Marivi called out from behind but Sergio kept moving on.

- There are a few missing, mom. Let's clear the table.

- No daughter, you will tell me what happened. Look, you look good with Sergio, too. If you solved the problem, why are you still so upset?

- Nothing, mom.

- Raquel!

  She took her daughter's hand and made her sit on the chair.
- Are you okay honey?

    Paula was playing by the sea, far from home. Raquel could not take it any longer and started sobbing. She hugged her mother, cried and cried. Marivi anxiously stroked her daughter's hair.

- I can't, mom! She started crying, shouting that she loves him so much, she loves them so much.

   Marivi waited for her daughter to cry and relax a little. When she calmed down:
- Now, tell me calmly. What happened? Do you want to break up?

- No mom, never! Another thing.

  She looked at her with curious eyes.

- Mom, I'm pregnant!
