the love of my life - Pablo Gavi

little one

Tess pov: 

I carefully sit down in the rocking chair. We haven't painted the walls of the nursery yet, but we have already picked out a color. The crib is also ready. 

Today I would like to paint something for the baby's room. 

I scroll through Pinterest to get some ideas. Once I have saved some photos, I walk to my workplace. 

I grab a canvas and pick out some colors. Then I start painting. My idea is to make a little elephant in a hot air balloon. 

Suddenly I feel 2 warm hands resting on my shoulders. I know it's Pablo. 

"Hey darling." 'Hi mi vida, you are really good at painting. I don't understand how you manage to do it.' "Aw, thank you babe. I don't know either. I start with some lines and then I work from there. 

I'm using some neutral colors, because we don't know what it will be.'' ''That's a great idea.

 What gender do you hope it is, Tess?'' ''I hope it is a girl, but if it is a boy, that's also okay.'' ''I'm hoping for a girl too. Hopefully she looks like you. Then we got an angel." I give him a kiss on the lips. 'Sweet.' 'Love you, Tess. And of course the little person in your belly.'' 

''This afternoon we have the 20 week ultrasound, right?' 'You're right. The appointment is at 2 pm.' 

We enter the hospital. I'm quite nervous. Pablo notices. 'It's going to be okay, trust me. You already felt that the baby was moving. That's a really good thing.' 

Pablo grabs my hand tightly. I look at him. 'Thank you, Pablo.' After waiting a while we are allowed inside. 

'First of all, do you want to know the gender?' I look at Pablo. He nods. 'We want to know the gender.' 'Okay, then we start with that.' I take Pablo's hand. 

She applies gel to my stomach and gently moves the device over my stomach.

'It's gonna be a little girl!' I look at Pablo. He smiles at me. ''We really wanted a little girl.' 'That's sweet. She moves the device a little further. ''Here are her arms. And there's her head.'' 

''She's so cute.'' 

''Do you want 3D pictures of her?'' I look at Pablo. "It's nice to have, isn't it Pablo?" "That's right, I think it would be very nice to have." "Okay, then I'm going to take the photos now.

After the photos, the midwife looks if everything is okay. 

Luckily everything is going well with the baby and fortunately it is completely fine. 

'You're baby is doing very well. She is growing well and we see no abnormalities.' 'That's great.''

''That's absolutely fine. If you have any questions or think something is wrong, just come by.'' ''Thank you.''

Then we walk out of the hospital. I take Pablo's hand. 'I'm so happy, Pablo!' 'Me too, I just can't believe that we are getting a little girl. 

And she looks a lot like you, Tess. You could already see that on the ultrasound 'You're right. I hope she is identical to me, so that I am not reminded of the rape all the time." "I hope so too, mi vida."

I'm getting ready because we're going out to dinner with Pedri and his girlfriend, Camila. I'm so excited. Pedri and Camila are always so nice.

 I look in my wardrobe for a dress. I grab a tight, long khaki dress from the closet and put it on. I stand in front of the mirror and decide which jewelry to wear. Then I walk to my makeup table. I do the lights and I do my makeup.

Finally I put on some perfume. The perfume that Pablo likes the most. 

Then I walk downstairs. "I'm ready, Pablo." Pablo sits on the couch and looks at me. 'You look so stunning! You dressed your bump perfectly!' I look at him smiling. 

I am now 23 weeks pregnant. Gavi likes it when I have tight dresses on, because then you can see my bump really good. 'Thank you babe.' I give him a kiss on the lips. He kisses me back.

'You look so pretty!' 'Thanks Camila, you too!' 

We are sitting in a restaurant, just next to the beach. We just ordered. 

'How are you Camila?' 'Very good.' 'And is there enough work for you as a model?' 'Yea, I can walk a lot of shows. Here in Spain, but also in Italy and Paris.' 

'You go to Paris? I'm so jealous of you right now. I've never been to Paris, but I really want to go there someday.' 'I haven't been asked to do a show in Paris yet, but if I am, I'll have a ticket ready for you.' 'Thanks, that's so sweet.' 

I see our food is coming. I asked for paella. I had never eaten it before I moved to Spain, but it is really delicious. The waiter places the plate in front of me. 'Gracias.' 'Disfruta tu comida.' 

When we finish dinner, I see that the sun is setting. It's not late yet, but I'm exhausted. Pablo sees it. 'We'll go home if that's okay.' I look guiltily at Pedri and Camila. 'Sorry, but I'm very tired.' 

'No, it's okay! I'd be exhausted too if a whole living creature was growing in my belly.' I look at Camila and smile thankfully. 

We get up and Pablo and I walk to the car. 'I'm already walking like a penguin.' Pablo laughs. 'But a very cute penguin.' Pablo kisses my hand. Then we get into the car. 

'Pablo, she kicked!' Pablo immediately puts his hands on my stomach. Then she kicks again. 'Hey little girl, your dad is here!' I look at him with a smile. How sweet he is. 

Then he takes his hands off my stomach and starts driving. 'Pablo, are we going to do a gender reveal?' 'It's fun, but I don't want you to get overtired.' I place my hand in his. 'That's sweet, but I want it. Shall we start the preparation tomorrow?' 'Good idea.'
