the love of my life - Pablo Gavi

my boyfriend is turning into the father of my child

Tess pov:

I feel something cold and wet on my head.

I immediately think of our first meeting. Pablo had hit the ball hard against my head, accidentally of course.

Pablo would never do that on purpose.

"Pablo." I say with difficulty. I slowly open my eyes. But I don't look into Pablo's dark brown eyes.

I see an arm going to my head and feel something cold again. "Hey Tess, are you feeling better?" I look at Pedri. "What happened?" I look at him questioningly.

''Your stitches from the surgical wound were broken and you fainted. You're attached again.''

''Why am I always such a little child?'' I sigh. I see Pedri looking at me in surprise.

''Are you really serious? You had a serious accident a few days ago and you just gave birth to a child. You are in the hospital, so is your child and your boyfriend is in a coma.''

''Tess, believe me, you are the strongest woman I have ever seen.'' I smile at Pedri. "Thank you, I appreciate that."

I look around the bedroom. "Why are there so many chairs?" Pedri laughs. ''The team was there for your birthday. They were all very happy to see you again.''

''Oh, how awkward that I fainted! Please tell them I'm sorry it had to end this way.''

''Don't worry Tess, you need to rest. And I will tell them, I promise.'' Pedri says reassuringly.

He smiles. "What's wrong?" "I'm reminded of when you just fainted. Let's just say that Frenkie can't stand blood or fainting people.'' he says laughing. "I didn't know that at all," I say, smiling. ''Frenkie is very good at keeping things secret, believe me.

But he sprinted out of the room, I've never seen him run so fast.''

''Is he okay?'' I say worried. ''Oh sure. He also likes a bit of drama, so.'' I smile and I look around the room.

"Has the doctor said anything about when I can go home again?" "Yes. He said you can go home once the wound has healed properly."

"Okay." I say sleepily. Pedri closes the curtains. "I think it would be better if you go to sleep for a while."

"But that's not possible, I have to go to Pablo." Pedri takes my hand. ''I'm going to Pablo now and I'll stay with him until you can go to him again. I will go straight to you if anything happens.'' I nod and then I fall into a deep sleep.

"Tess, wake up, I have great news." I wake up quickly. ''What is it Pedri?'' ''Pablo woke up!'' ''Wait what?!'' I quickly sit up. "Watch out Tess, you don't want to hurt yourself." "No, that's right, but is it really true?"

"Yes, he's awake." Pedri says, smiling. Tears stream down my cheeks. Tears of relief. Tears of joy. Pedri gives me a tight hug. "Everything will be fine now Tess," he says. I can hear from his voice that he is also emotional.

I let go of Pedri and grab a tissue. "Do you want a tissue too?" I ask, half laughing, half crying. "I think it's useful." Pedri says, laughing. A feeling of indescribable happiness floods me.

I press the red button. Pedri looks at me questioningly. "I want to ask if I can go to Pablo." I say, smiling. He nods.

A nurse comes in. ''Is everything okay?'' ''Couldn't be better. Can I go to Pablo?'' The nurse smiles. "Of course you can." Pedri also stands up. ''I'm going Tess, I have training. Should I tell the team that Pablo has woken up?'' ''Please, very much.''

''That's okay hermana.'' I smile. I'm glad I feel like his sister and to be honest, he feels like a brother. "Hopefully see you soon hermano." He smiles and then walks away.

The nurse drives to the ward where Pablo is. I can't stop talking with excitement.

Then I arrive at the bedroom where Pablo is lying.

A big smile forms on my face when I see him. "Pablo!" Then he sees me. Tears well up in his eyes. "Mi vida," he says softly. I see him crying.

The nurse puts my bed next to his bed and leaves us alone. I grab his hand.

''I'm so sorry mi vida.'' ''No, you shouldn't feel guilty. I'm so glad you're alive.'' ''Me too. The doctors said that I have to do tests, and if I'm cleared for that, I can go home.'' ''I'm so happy Pablo.'' ''Me too Tess, me too.''

A nurse enters the room . I see her smiling. "Do you want family photos with your new daughter?" I look at Pablo. He nods. "That sounds like a lot of fun to me." "Me too."

The nurse walks away and picks up Hope. "I was here every day, talking to you all the time. It was boring because I didn't get any comments.'' Pablo laughs. ''I'll annoy you forever.''

''Go ahead. Then I feel your presence."

"I hope we never have to go through this again, Tess." "I hope so too." I smile.

After a few minutes the nurse comes with Hope.

She gives Hope to Pablo. I watch with a smile. This is the most beautiful moment of my life.

My boyfriend is turning into the father of my child.

The nurse takes pictures of us. Hope yawns. ''Look how cute Tess. She yawns. And she is so sweet! "She is indeed cute."
