Unmistakable- Miami Medical

Chaper 22

It had finally reached the summer, Eva was 4 months pregnant and was starting to show. In a week it would be the wedding day and the nerves were running high. Eva was constantly hormonal and her feelings were all over the place, she would constantly pick fights with Chris for the stupidest things yet he still refused to leave her, he wouldn't get angry at her, he would just take her abuse, which in the end made her feel worse.

They were lying in bed one night after Eva tried picking a fight with Chris over the wedding. She said plenty of things she never meant and regretted it straight after, especially the part where she yelled that she didn't even want the wedding and then stormed upstairs to lock herself in the bathroom. Chris sat down on the couch and took several deep breaths, he knew that she didn't mean it but it didn't make it hurt any less. Eva came down five minutes later and saw Chris with his head in his hands trying to blink back tears. She closed her eyes and sighed, feeling the tears prick at her eyes. She felt like such a bad person. Chris was always there for her, never got angry at her, always went to the shop when she got her crazy cravings, he gave her foot rubs after a long day at work and never asked for anything in return. Eva walked towards him, cursing her Cuban anger, he didn't deserve the way she treated him. That night they ended up cuddling on the couch watching a Disney movie.

Eva turned to look at Chris who was lying on his back, staring at the ceiling.
"I'm sorry I'm such a bitch"
Chris whipped his head to face her and pulled her closer.
"You're not a bitch baby, you're just stressed because of the wedding and your hormones are unbalanced because of the baby, I'm not mad at you, it's not your fault"
Eva bit back a sob, wondering how she got so lucky to get a guy like Chris.
"Still, I can't wait until the baby is born"

They had sorted out the arrangements for the baby a couple of months ago. Eva would go on maternity leave when she reached the 6 months mark ("no sooner or I'll show up to work anyway" she warned) but wasn't allowed to do any strenuous work past the 4 months mark, she was only allowed in a few surgery's and she wasn't allowed to be assigned to anything too bad in case it was an emergency in fear of making her stressed which wasn't good for the baby. She would be allowed to return to work 3 months after the baby was born and then Chris would go on paternity leave for 3 months. When they are both at work again, after the baby was past 6 months old, Eva's dad would look after it ("I insist, I'm retired now it's not like I'm getting up to anything")

That Saturday morning saw Eva looking into her bedroom mirror with tears in her eyes. She was in her elegant white wedding dress and was marrying the love of her life in just a few hours. She blinked back her tears and straightened out her dress. The dress was a simple one, it was long sleeved, enhanced her small baby bump and then flowed into a long skirt. The top half was donned in lace and had a sweetheart neckline. Eva refused to wear heels "We're getting married on the beach, heels are just too impractical, I'd rather not trip over and break my neck thanks" was her argument, instead she was going barefoot, she complained that her feet hurt in the shoes which barely fit because her feet were swollen to twice the size they usually were. Eva did a little twirl as her father, Serena and Nurse Graceffa walked into the room, she asked the nurse to be her other bridesmaid because she had been a massive help with the pregnancy. All three gasped and blinked back tears, except her father, who allowed his to flow freely.

"My baby's growing up" he chocked out.
"Oh papi, don't cry, you'll make me cry"
"Okay princess. Are you ready to head down?"
Eva nodded and took his arm, allowing him to lead her to the car which was going to drive them down to the beach. When they got there, they met Rick who had just flown back in as Chris' best man.

"Rick! How's the treatment going?" Eva asked as she hugged her soon to be brother-in-law.
"I've got the all clear! How's my little niece or nephew?"
"Rick that's amazing! And we find out next week which one it is!"
Rick grinned, he was secretly hoping for a little niece that he could spoil to pieces. Rick headed back over to where Chris was, getting ready for the ceremony to start. A few minutes later, Eva heard the music playing, her cue. She followed Serena down the aisle, clutching on to her fathers arm. She looked around at all the people who were with them today, at the front she saw Chris' mother, all of their closest work colleagues and a few people they both knew from med school. She looked up at Tuck and Proctor who were stood at the front with Chris, as his Groomsmen. Her eyes clapped on Chris' and she felt the tears prick at her eyes. Everything was so perfect.

They got to the front and Eva stood before Chris with a huge grin on her face.
"You look beautiful" he whispered to her. Eva barely listened to the minister, focusing on the blue eyes of her soon to be husband. When it got to their vows, Chris went first.
"Eva, we've only been together for just over a year and a half and I know it may seem like we're moving fast, but I can't picture myself with anyone other than you. When I think of the future, all I can see is you, our baby and possibly a couple more. You make my life complete, you have made me the happiest man on the planet. I love you, forever and always"
Eva blinked back her tears as Chris grabbed her hand gently and put the gold band on her finger. She started on her vows, her voice cracking a few times from her emotions.

"Chris, my love for you is unmistakable, the moment you walked in through those doors all those years ago on your first day, I immediately felt drawn to you, but my walls were up. You broke them down one lame joke at a time and I knew I felt something but I was too scared to act on it. The day you proposed was one of the happiest days of my life. You know, except the fact you had just got out of a coma, and today is high up that list as well, so will be the birth of our baby. I love you Chris, forever and always"
Chris went to brush of the tears which she had allowed to fall as she placed the ring on his finger, uniting them at last.

"I now pronounce you man and wife, you may kiss your bride" Chris didn't hesitate in connecting his lips to hers in a passionate kiss, dipping her as the crowd cheered.
"Now now, that's enough you two! She's already pregnant" Tuck called, causing the two of them to break apart, blushing. Everybody laughed at their embarrassment, including the lovebirds themselves.
"Well them Dr. Zambrano-Deleo, do you want to go cut the cake?" Chris asked as he turned to Eva. She had wanted to take his name but thought things at the surgery would get confusing so settled for keeping her name as well as taking on his, granted it's a bit of a mouthful but Eva wouldn't have it any other way.

They had agreed that they wouldn't have much of a honeymoon, they would go back to Chris' hometown for a few days before going back to work. They had to be back for the following Friday for Eva's baby scan so they agreed on leaving on the Sunday and coming back on the Thursday. The band had started playing and Chris led Eva to the mini dance floor set up on the sand. He pulled her close to him and wrapped his arms around her.
"Are you happy milady?"
"I've never been any happier"
