Lorenzo Mancini is cold, heartless and ruthless, in the business world he's known as always being merciless and unfeeling in the boardroom. Until a chance encounter with a woman with the most mesmerizing eyes catches his attention. Aella, she's the...
Aella's about 5 months pregnant now, she has the cutest little baby bump. Today we're actually going to see Dr.Bailey. The kids are still in school and so far they're loving it, the only thing they complain about are the school uniforms. When I first saw them I kinda agreed with them, for girls they had to wear navy blue skirts that reached their knees with black tights and a sleeveless v neck sweater with their logo on it over a white button up. The same thing for the boys but black dress pants and a navy blue sweater, the things were hideous. I remember Aella wanted to take a first day of school photo and they all had frowns on their faces Aella being the only one smiling.
"Baby, we got to go now, or we're going to be late." Aella said. I'm preening on the inside, Aella has been calling me baby for the past couple of months now.
"Let's take the mom mobile, after when we're done we can go to that baby store, Posh Baby. And then pick up the kids." I recommended. Even though we've cleared out a room for the baby, it's empty. We haven't bought a single thing and I feel like we're really behind.
"Enzo baby, that store's a bit overpriced. Let's just go to Ross or Carter's."
"Sei serio, Amorina how many times must I tell you that it's our money now. You haven't even used the card I gave you, you know there's no limit?" She groans.
"I appreciate everything you do, but I don't want to use you like that."
"We're married you wouldn't be using me." I told her.
"Come on, let's go." I watch her half waddle to the car, her fitted t-shirt showing her small bump.
"Are you going to get in? Or just watch me waddle like a penguin."

Sitting in the doctors office, I tap my foot anxious to hear what the doctor says
"Enzo calm down, everything's good to be fine." She places her hand on my knee stopping my tapping.
"Ok Aella, you're here for your 20 weeks visit, we should be able to find out the gender, do you guys want to know?" She asked.
"Yes." We both say at the same time, eager to know the gender of our baby.
She wheels in the ultrasound machine.
"First I have to take your blood pressure." She wraps the cuff around her arm and presses a button. The cuff inflates then deflated slowly.
"So your blood pressure is 122/85, it's slightly higher than average. Have you been eating any red meat?"
"Yes, my cravings have been impossible. This week I've been craving burgers so I've been indulging." She looks guilty, it's also my fault whenever she says that she wants a mushroom burger I go to the nearest fast food joint and buy her two, she always finishes the two.
"You can still eat burgers but instead of beef how about you try replacing it with ground turkey, try to replace all beef products with turkey or chicken. I want your blood pressure to be at least 120/80 on your next visit."
"Yes doctor, I'll replace everything in our fridge." My tone is serious.
"Alright, let's see the baby." She claps her hands together, Aella raises her shirt and she squeezes a clear substance on her belly. She moves the wand around her belly spreading the gel. Turning on the screen I can somewhat make out the shape of the baby.
"I can see the gender, do you guys want me to tell you?" She asked, we both nod our heads.
"Congrats, you're having a baby girl." I jump up from my seat and holler, I knew it, I had a feeling that we were having a girl. I kiss Aella on both her cheeks.
"Thank you Amorina, for giving me this."
Her hand caresses my check wiping the stray tear that escaped my eye.
"No, thank you baby for giving me another baby girl."
"I'm going to print a few ultrasound photos, I'm sure the proud parents to be are excited for their baby girl."
"Thank you Dr. Bailey." I sincerely said.
"No problem, I'll be back."
"Aren't you excited? We'll have a new member to add to the family. When do you think we should tell the kids?" Aella asked.
"Let's tell them when we pick them up." She smiles from ear to ear. Holding her hand I place a kiss on top grateful for the gift she has given me.

After our appointment we head to Posh Baby. Now that we know the gender of our baby we can buy a couple items now. I plan on buying a crib, a car seat, a diaper bag, some baby decor, and a lot of baby clothes. I get out the car and get around to open Aella's door, she takes my hand as she steps out.
"Thank you baby."
I place my hand in the small of her back, she goes to grab a cart but I stop her.
"Let me push the cart, you shouldn't be doing anything strenuous." I grab the cart from her and start pushing while she huffed at me.
Not even twenty minutes later the cart is overflowing, me and Aella have been tossing random stuff into it not bothering to look at the prices. There's clothes, toys, bottles, and a bunch of other stuff in the cart but on the bottom we chose a crib and a carseat. The cribs a dark grey, a changing table is attached to it and the carseat is a light pink.
"I think this is enough for now." Aella said.
"Yeah, I think so too." Finally for once I agree with her, the cart's so full I don't think we can add any more stuff.
We check out our stuff placing them back into the cart. Aella was shocked with the total, in only 20 minutes we spent $4,200.
"Go wait inside, I can load these in the back." Opening the back I put the bags, the car seat and crib into the trunk.
