New Beginnings

Back To Work

It's been a few days since we got back to Paris, a few days in which we also surprised our parents with the news of the pregnancy.

Everyone was super excited and happy and supportive of our new journey.

'I'm gonna head out to work, if anything call me.' I placed a kiss on Pedri's lips, ready to head out the door.

'Can't you just tell Xavi you want a maternity leave or whatever is called?' Pedri pouted.

'No.' I smiled. 'I love my job and today Barcelona is taking on Real Madrid. There's no way I'm missing that.'

'Okay, take care.' he rolled his eyes playfully. 'I love you.'

'I love you.' I blew him a kiss  and left the apartment.

We still haven't let the world know about the little bun that's cooking in the oven.

Oh god, I've been hanging around Pedri for too long.

Everyone's been enjoying our pregnancy on the low, giving us presents and making plans about what's going to happen when the baby arrives. Me and Bru call eachother at the end of every week to speak about how it went and how we're feeling.

My belly is starting to show a bit more, so hiding it is going to become a little harder.

'Good morning, good morning.' I tell the receptionist who greets me with a big smile.

I walk towards mine and Ela's office, ready for the day ahead.

'Irina!' Raphinha says as soon as I walk in.

'What are you doing here?' I chuckle.

'I wanted to check up on you.' he shrugged his shoulders while walking towards me. 'Hey there, how are you?' he crouched down, placing his ear on my belly. 'Same, man, I can't wait to meet you.'

Me and Ela laughed, sharing a hug.

'How do you even know it's a boy?' Ela asked confused.

'Look at her.' he gestured towards me.

'What are you trying to say?' I frowned my eyebrows.

'You're glowing. There's no way you're having a girl, they tend to take the beauty away from their mum.' he smiles and shrugs his shoulder.

'Are you a boy?' I placed my hands on my belly and slowly moved them up and down.

After catching up a little with Ela and talking about how her relationship with Gavi is going, we decided to get ready to film some content.

'Irina, how are you doing?' Xavi asked me as soon as we stepped outside.

'I'm good, thank you.' I smiled.

'Do you know what you're having?' he asked softly.

I shook my head. 'No, not yet.'

'Well, I hope it's a boy.' he smiled softly, placing a hand on my shoulder.

'You want to recruit him or something?' I chuckled.

'It's only right.' he winked.

After chatting a little bit more to the boys which started placing bets on the gender of my baby, me and Ela started shooting some content.
