I let Mariah in and i narrated everything to her, from the throwing up to the Nutella with eggs and noodles and I'm expecting Mariah to freak out but she just smiled and walked up to Zara.
I was expecting Zara to be enthusiastic about seeing Mariah the way she always did, but she just burst into tears yet again.
"What is wrong Zara" Mariah asked what I have been asking since morning
"I can't find the Nutella" Zara answered wiping her tears
"Okay let's go get you one" Mariah said and Zara smiled "go get dressed" and with that Zara rushed upstairs
"I hid the Nutella, so there is no need to buy another one" I said because there is no point buying new ones, I can just bring them out.
"We are going to the hospital, and if what I'm suspecting is right then there is nothing to worry about"
Okay now I'm more confused than ever, there is no way Mariah has figured everything out in a matter of minutes
"What are you suspecting" I asked because I need to know what is happening to my sister
"You will see"
"No don't leave me hanging, I have every right to know" i said to Mariah but she just smiled
"Calm down will you, let's go to the hospital first"
And I hesitantly nodded
"I'm done!" Zara yelled from the stairs dressed like a ninety years old woman.
We get in my car Mariah sitting at the back together with Zara while I do the driving like there Uber driver
We get to the hospital and we sat in the waiting area before we are called shortly after.
The doctor ask who the patient is and I pointed at Zara
"So what's the complain?" She ask Zara with a kind smile and I rushed in explaining how she is possessed with eating Nutella, throwing up, crying and everything but the doctor is just smiling. Did she find it amusing or something
"So if I get you right she throw up in the morning and she is craving Nutella" she ask me and I nodded
She directed her gaze now towards Zara and ask her some questions "since when are you throwing up in the morning?"
"This week" Zara answered
"And the cravings?" She ask typing some things on her desktop
"Since last night" Zara replied shyly
"Okay we would run some tests and in a few minutes the results will be back, just wait at the waiting area for some time, it won't take long" the doctor said politely and a nurse come in and take Zara's blood and we walked outside, but I can't help to worry because they are running a test, which means something is wrong with my sister.
"Valentino calm down, you are stressing over nothing" Mariah said holding my hand and I sit down with them leaning Zara's head on my shoulder
I will give her all the Nutella at home if that will make her okay. Nothing must happen to my sister, nothing at all, she is my whole world.
"Zara Anne Rodriguez!"
A nurse called us again and we stand up going back to the doctors office and she is smiling kindly at me and congratulates me handing me an envelope
"Congratulations Mr Rodrigues, your wife is pregnant"
Hold up.
Wait a minute.
"I beg your damn pardon" i said not knowing which one I heard wrong, the wife part or the pregnant part.
"Your wife is pregnant-
"She is not my wife, she is my sister"
"Oh sorry I thought-
"She is what!" I ask her again, she furrows her brow in confusion
"Don't worry, he is just surprised, can we know how far gone she is?" Mariah ask but I'm out of words
I'm definitely killing Edward this time around.
"Six weeks now" she said to Mariah "she will soon start her antenatal treatment"
"Thank you doctor" Mariah said politely and we walked out of the office Zara oddly quiet, did she even hear that she is pregnant.
We get in the car and i angrily closed the car door making Zara flinched a little but I'm so pissed
I drive us home in a thick atmosphere, no one saying a word and they better keep shut because if I see Edward right this instant I will strangle him
I parked the car at our front yard and we all stepped out and I unlocked the door
"Zara" I called the moment we get into the house because Zara is making her way upstairs ignoring me.
"ZARA!" I yelled and she stopped
"Valentino don't" Mariah said, but I don't know how to react to this, I'm not fully accepting of her and Edward to the extent of having his child, I don't trust him that much.
"Don't yell at her, let her think about this for a moment okay" Mariah whispered and I sighed
Zara walked the remaining stairs going into her room.
She is right, I should calm down, but what about my plan of saving enough money to take me and Zara to a far away land where this mafia world doesn't exist, how am I supposed to do that if she is pregnant with the mafia's king child, there is no way he is letting us go.
It seems like anytime one hooked is loose another one is being tied
"Let's sit and talk" Mariah suggested holding my hand and walking to the couch.
"Do you know who the father of the baby is?" She asked me
"Yes I know" I said to her. Of course I know the bastard
"Then I see no problem, you can just tell him your sister is pregnant for him" she said like that is the easiest thing to do
"But you don't know him, you don't know anything about us" i tell her, because as a matter of fact she doesn't even know that I'm in a gang.
"Then enlighten me, I'm here to listen, I want to know" she said staring at me and I decided to just tell her, if she wants to break up with me, she better do it now than later when I'm too attached to let go.
"I'm in a gang, one of the notorious gang in the country"
