Mysterious

Chapter 80

"Come on, Brunoooo...you're always late...." Arissa yelled at him from the couch.

"Hold your horses, Mrs. Hernandez, geez." he said hopping into the room putting on his shoes. She waved her feet in front of him showing him that she had flip-flops on

"It's a lot easier if you just wear these, babe." she told him.

"I don't have pretty pink toes like you..." he answered looking at her feet.

"We can change that if you want..." she laughed at him grabbing her purse taking his hand walking toward the car.

He turned on the radio as he started the car. She instantly changed the channel to a Top 40 station. "What are we singing today, Riss?" he asked her.

"Whatever you want, baby." she smiled at him. "As long as it's on this station."

"Oh, I like this one..." he responded as Mirrors came on the radio. She started to sing his part toward the middle of the song.

"Riss, how do you still not know the words to this one?" he asked her.

"I don't know...but what I'm singing is right. You're wrong. Obviously." she told him.

"Oh, even though that's what I recorded in the studio?" he played along with her.

"Umm, yes. Obviously, I'm the queen of song lyrics." she answered him frankly.

"Alright Queen Arissa." he finished the conversation waiting for the next song to come on.

"Bruno...I'm going to be the next Britney Spears...duh.." she said dancing in her seat to the Ke$ha song that came on after.

"Riss, you are sooo funny." he told her.

"Shit, I know. Our children are going to be so funny that they're going to be on Saturday Night Live." she told him.

"I can live with that, Riss..." he said.

"But really, I just want the baby to be healthy." she confessed moving away from the flirtatious conversation they were having just moments before.

"The baby is going to be beautiful, baby doll." he said looking at her. "Because their mama is the most beautiful woman in the world." he told her taking her hand intertwining his fingers in between hers kissing her hand.

Aww, don't flatter me, Brunz." she answered.

"Bruno...look at all the baby pictures.." Arissa said pointing to a bulletin board by the chair.

"Ours is going to be up there in March..." she told him.

"I'll blow the picture up so big that those babies won't even know what's coming for 'em.." he said flpping over a picture to look at the name. "Shiloh..."

"No way..look at that baby's lips. That's Brad and Angelina's Shiloh..." Arissa pointed to the pouty lips.

"Your doctor has magic hands for touching Angelina like that..." he laughed at her reaction.

"Oh, you are so gross, Bruno..." she hit him on the side as the door opened.

"Was I interrupting something?" she asked them.

"Oh no, he was just being gross.." Arissa told the doctor.

"Okay..so let's get you all set up...and how are you feeling?" Dr. Benson, a sweet woman close to her forties with light grey hair, asked her.

"I'm feeling fine..I think all the morning sickness is finally gone." she told the doctor.

"That's what I like to hear!" she responded. "And cravings?" she asked.

"Umm..not more so than usual...yet." Arissa answered.

"Don't lie, Riss. You want oranges and caramel sauce all the time." he told the doctor.

"Okay, so yeah. I want that..and I hate oranages. The peels get in my nails...he just doesn't like peeling them for me."

"It's the only reason I'm going on tour...so I don't have to peel the damn oranges.." Bruno laughed.

Arissa sniffed responding to his sarcasm. The doctor looked back and forth at each of them trying to figure out their relationship.

"Okay..so this will be cold, Arissa..." the doctor told her rubbing the gel on her stomach. She cringed at the cold looking at Bruno laughing at her.

"God, you really have no idea, do you?" she asked him smiling.

"I won't let the mean doctor hurt you, Riss.." he replied looking in her eyes.

"Thanks. I was really afraid there for a second.." she laughed hearing the beating noise. She stopped talking to him as he walked over to her grabbing her hand.

"Oh my god...look...there's a baby..." Bruno said in shock.

"It's a boy, guys..." Dr. Benson said pointing to the middle of the screen.

"Are you sure?" Bruno asked.

"Yep...." she pointed to all the baby's body parts.

"Wow..." Arissa responded not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Here are the pictures..." Dr. Benson told them handing Bruno two copies. Arissa snapped one out of his hands as the doctor wiped off of her stomach.

They scheduled her next appointment which he wasn't going to be at walking out to the car hand in hand.

"Bruno! Oh my gosh. It's a Brunito!" she exclaimed when they got in the car.
