Goal Changer

Chapter 37 - Photo Ready

The day of the photoshoot had arrived, the photographer and crew were setting up around the house and Donna was having her hair and make up done.

She wasn't used to having someone else get her ready and it felt strange, but her mind was on too many other things to worry about it.

The brunette still hadn't spoken to Cristiano since last night in bed, he had gotten up early that morning for training and still wasn't home yet.

The stylist approached Donna carrying a few outfits, holding up a few dresses in front of her they finally settled on a beige body con midi dress as Donna nodded in agreement. She didn't care about her outfits today, she just wanted to get the photoshoot over with and find out if she was pregnant.

Cristiano appeared behind his girlfriend who was sat at the dressing table mirror. Leaning over her shoulder he kissed her cheek "hey beautiful" he whispered

Donna smiled, she felt bad for how she had treated her boyfriend last night.

"Aw look at you two, you are so adorable" squealed the make up artist as she watched the pair

The brunette suddenly felt uncomfortable knowing they were being watched "you should go get ready" she replied to Cristiano who rubbed her arm tenderly before walking away.

Donna felt a pang of guilt for her boyfriend. She loved him with all her heart and wanted nothing more than to share her life with him, she just wasn't ready to share her news with him just yet.

......................

An hour later the couple were halfway through the shoot. They had already changed outfits 3 times and had been photographed in the garden, at the dinner table and were now on their bed for a bedroom shot.

Donna sat on the bed with her legs laid out by her side as Cristiano was placed behind her.

"Ok can we have your arm around Donna please Cristiano" requested the photographer

Cristiano smiled and placed his arm around his girlfriend as his hand placed over her stomach as he began to lay his face against her shoulder

Donna jumped slightly at his touch, grabbing his hand she quickly pushed it from her stomach as the photographer began to take the pictures.

Pretending not to notice, Cristiano tried to maintain his smile but he was hurting inside, why didn't she want him to touch her he wondered

"Can we take a break" asked Donna

"Yea we can start again in half an hour" replied the photographer

Before he could finish the sentence the brunette got off the bed and ran out of the room, running along the hallway to the bathroom she locked herself inside.

Cristiano followed behind, he wanted to get to the bottom of what was going on and he needed answers.

Knocking on the door he whispered "please let me in"

Donna ignored his plea as she leaned against the unit biting her nails, she could feel the panic rise inside of her at the thought of having a baby.

"I'm not leaving this, please open the door" begged the footballer

Feeling bad for Cristiano the brunette unlocked the door.

Walking in he closed the door behind him and leaned against it "What's going on and don't say nothing because I know somethings wrong" he asked

Donna looked down at her feet as they fidgeted against each other, the leather of the shoes squeaked as they rubbed against one another.

"If you've gone off me then please just tell me I can handle it.....well I think I can" he added hoping it wasn't true

The brunette looked at Cristiano shocked "I could never go off you" she replied

Relieved, the footballer walked over to his girlfriend taking her hands in his "then please tell me what's wrong" he begged

Donna knew she had to tell Cris the truth if she wanted to save her relationship with him. Taking a deep breath she blurted it out "I think I'm pregnant"

"Really" squealed Cristiano "why didn't you tell me? Thats great"

The brunette watched as Ronaldo looked excited about the idea "great, this is not great it's a nightmare" she replied letting go of his hands

"A baby is amazing" he added looking at his girlfriend confused. He couldn't understand why she wasn't happy about them starting a family together. The footballer always knew he wanted more children and he loved Donna so to him it was perfect.

"It's not amazing. I don't want anymore kids. This is the worst thing that could happen" scoffed Donna

Cristiano put a hand to her waist, he wanted to calm the brunette down but she pulled back from him, shaking her head she walked out of the room slamming the door behind her.

..................

The next set of photos was of the couple in the pool together. Donna was wearing a baby pink bikini and Cristiano was wearing his own brand of CR7  shorts.

Stepping into the pool Donna walked over to the centre as Cristiano followed behind. The photographer gave directions placing them facing each other, Cristiano's hands held her waist as Donna wrapped her arms around his neck.

Staring into his eyes he stared back, it was intense like he was trying to communicate by look alone. He looked saddened. She loved this man but she couldn't have his baby.

"Ok that's good, can we have a kiss from the happy couple" shouted the photographer

Donna felt uncomfortable as Cristiano leaned forward, his lips pressed against hers. Only 20 minutes ago they had been arguing in the bathroom and now they were here pretending to be happy.

The kiss was tender and loving as Donna found her eyes closing as she began to relax into the kiss. Cristiano pulled her closer, his arms wrapping around her body. Their skin made contact as the brunette realised she could feel his heart beating against her chest.

"Wow" cheered one of the assistants causing the couple to pull back slightly

"You are such an amazing couple, you look so in love" she added

Cristiano hugged his girlfriend whispering in her ear "I love you more than anything, I want our baby"

Donna didn't know what to say, she loved the footballer but she knew she couldn't have another baby no matter what.  She just hoped it didn't mean the end for them as a couple.
