Product of Love

I didn't know how to tell him. Would he happy or would he not be? I had a slight feeling he would react negatively to it. He was in the peak of his career, he didn't need another child to worry about. Of course, he had Davi already but.. He didn't want another child. Not yet anyway.

So how would I tell him?

"Is Ney home?" I asked.

Rafaella nodded and pointed to the ceiling. "He's upstairs."

I headed to the stairs, my palms sweating like I had run a marathon.

He loved children. I know he did. He was so good with kids. I saw him with Davi all the time, he'd laugh and giggle and try to do anything and everything to make Davi laugh or smile.

This baby would be beautiful. It would look just like Ney. His hazel eyes, his curly hair, his tanned skin. I smiled even thinking about it. It would be our child.

A product of our love.

I pushed our bedroom door open and looked around not seeing him anywhere. "Ney?"

The bathroom door opened and he stepped out, smiling widely when his eyes found mine.

"Meu princesa!" He cooed and ran to me picking me up as we spun, his arms wrapped tightly around me.

I laughed and kissed him with my arms wrapped around his neck, embracing the heart swooning moment. I could taste a hint of alcohol in his mouth. He didn't seem drunk, but he must've had a glass or two.

"Have you been drinking?" I asked, a little concerned.

"Just beer with the guys, it wasn't a lot we were just chilling." He shrugged.

I believed him. He didn't seem drunk at all, I could just taste alcohol when I kissed him.

"So how was your day amor?" He asked, finally setting me down.

"Wonderful babe, I've got some news." My smiled decreased slightly to a hopeful one as his eyes set on mine in surprise and anticipation.

"What is it? Is it good news?"

I nodded biting my lip. Maybe he would love this news after all. He seemed to be in a good mood. But knowing Neymar.. He could snap instantly without warning too.

He went over to the closet pulling out a shirt he had placed on the front and took his own shirt off changing into the new one.

"Did you get a new job?" He asked.

"Nope."

"Hm.. Your parents are coming to visit?"

"No.. But it has something to do with parents." I smiled and looked down at my belly touching it. There wasn't a bump too visible but I had gotten all the early symptoms of pregnancy. It had worried me after the vomiting didn't stop and I decided to get it checked. After a few tests, my doctor announced that I was pregnant, and with a healthy baby.

"Parents? It's your parents anniversary?" He kept asking as he changed into his shirt.

"N-"

I was interrupted by my phone as it rang.

I looked down at the ID and my jaw dropped slightly. It was my gynecologist. How was I supposed to answer this in front of Ney without him knowing about the pregnancy yet?

"Who is it?" Ney asked. He walked over to me and I looked up at him a little scared and unsure of what to do. "What happened? Why are you so scared?" He took the phone from my hand and read the ID.
