Chapter Fifteen

𝗡𝗶𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗹𝗮𝘀' 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘃𝗲𝗶𝘄

I anxiously bounced my leg impatiently waiting for the love of my life to wake up from her coma.

She's been in a deep coma for a few weeks.

My days get slower and excruciatingly painful without her.

My gorgeous ray of sunshine.

My hope, my joy, my love I just wanted her to come back to me.

I regretted not saying more than 'ok' to her.

I will do anything for her to forgive me.

I prayed and cried asking for forgiveness for my sins.

I thought she was being taken from me because of my sins, because of the lives I have taken.

A life for a life.

As I sat at my desk thinking, I decided to visit her.

My baby cousin was visiting from Italy and I was on babysitting duty.

She turned one a few days ago.

I looked at her while she banged the air with her toy as she sat on my lap.

"Time to go visit my love," I said to her, she just looked up at me and smiled.

I sighed and picked her up, taking the elevator and heading to the garage.

"scegli un'auto, Natalia," I said to her.

translation - pick a car

She pointed to my G-Wagon.

I'm sure driving without a car seat for her is very unsafe so once I got on the road I made my way to a nearby store to pick up a car seat for her.

Once we arrived at the store I looked around not knowing which one to pick.

I'm sure that one day if me and Astraea were to have children she'd know just what to buy.

A woman who seemed to be in her late thirties approached me.

"Is there anything I can help you with sir?" She asked me.

I thought about asking for help for a moment but Astraea would want me to.

"Yes...I'm not sure what car seat to get." I told her.

"How old is she?" The woman asked.

"One," I replied.

"Will you be carrying her around a lot?" She asked me.

I nodded.

"Right this way!" She replied with a smile.

Me and Natalia followed her and she stopped in front of a stroller; not what I asked for.

"Since you'll be carrying her around a lot I would suggest buying a stroller, now for what you came for...this is probably the best one." She told me.
