The Bosses daughter✔️

Chapter 13

"Lets go talk in my study," Arturo put his arm around her waist and helped her into the house. He sat her next to him on the couch of the study.

"Arturo, I am sorry. I-I-," she fumbled over her words not knowing what how to say it.

"There is nothing to be sorry about. What's wrong mi amor?" Arturo caressed her face with his hand.

Consuela stood up and turned away from Arturo, "Arturo, I am pregnant."

Consuela was to nervously to turn around and look at him, she did not know what his reaction would be, she waited for him to speak, but when Arturo didn't respond she continued speaking. Her heart broke me tears fell from her eyes.

"I know that you must be disappointed, you wanted to retire and travel and go to many places, I am sorry, please do not be angry. I truly didn't know this would happened. I was taking precautions, but I won't stop you, I will not hold you back," she paused, when her lip started trembling and her voice cracked, "I-I will go back to my mothers."

Arturo stopped her from leaving, hugging her from behind, putting his hands on her stomach, "I am not angry, I was in shock, speechless, I would never ask you to leave, traveling can wait, we have plenty of time for that. I am ready and more than happy to do this with you."

"Are you really not upset? You have a grown daughter and for you to do this all over again." Consuela hesitated.

"I want to do this with you, I know there is still a lot we need to know about each other, but all that matters is that we love each other. Please trust in my love, because that is all that matters," Arturo said as he hugged her close.

"Thank you, I love you, Arturo."

"I love you, Consuela."

Paloma paced the floor, "Diego, what do you think is going on with Consuela? She did not speak a word, on the way home from the hospital."

"I don't know, I am sure your father is taking care of it, but I will talk to her a well," Diego said.

Paloma stoped pacing, "Should I have called my father to the hospital, I didn't want to worry anyone and I wasn't able to update since I was not allowed to the back with her, I didn't want for you and my father to worry and rush to the hospital," she paced again.

They both turned when they heard the door to the study open, they were both smiling and talking, "Consuela," Paloma ran to her, "Are you ok?"

"We will celebrate, tomorrow we go out to dinner, today, Consuela needs her rest."

"What are we celebrating, Mr. Alvarez," Diego said.

Arturo laughed happily, "we are having a  baby," he hugged Consuela lifting her off the floor, kissing her and setting her back down gently.

"NO WAY! YAY! There is so much to do now, we need to get two of everything, two strollers, two high chai-," Paloma looked at her father, "Papa, are you ready for this, you can borrow my book," Paloma laughed.

"Yes mija, we have plenty of time to get everything ready," Arturo took Consuela's hand, come my love, let's rest before supper time," Arturo suggested.

The top half of the arch in the back of the garden was covered with all different types of lilac colored flowers and purple tule on the bottom half, with a white runner leading to it, where Diego and Paloma were about to become husband and wife. The rows of chairs on either side of the aisle runner were covered with white chair covers and a large bow hanging behind every chair.
