Pregnant By A Gangster

Ch.21 I Hate Hospitals

CHANELLE'S POV.

Today I am super excited to show Jovanny our finally finished baby nursery's! I worked long and hard. But OF COURSE the help of Jovanny's sisters. I put up the final decorations today and they look beyond adorable. I just keep going back and forth from Ariyah and Lucca's rooms.

I can't believe in just a couple months our son and daughter will be lying in these cribs. It makes me so happy and excited to know me and Jovanny will be parents soon. After staring at the nursery for what seems like forever, I go downstairs for some food!

But I already see Stella cooking. "smells good in here!" I tell her as I go to the fridge. "I am making you some mozzarella sticks and spinach mushroom and chicken pasta" she says as she prepares a plate and I grab a Coke.

I sit down at the table and she gives me my plate. "do you know what time Jovanny will be back so I can know to leave the food out or not?" Stella asks. "he said around 2 or 3" I tell her as I begin stuffing my face. "oh alright then I'll just leave the food out then" she says then leaves the kitchen.

I continue eating then go back upstairs. I couldn't resist going into the nursery's one more time. I then go back to my room. I sit on my bed on my laptop doing some things for the baby shower. I am so excited for it! It's just in 2 weeks.

I do that for a while then relax and watch some movies. I check the time and it's 5. Still no Jovanny. Not even a call or text. But that's to be expected when he's doing business so I don't worry about it. I sigh and close my laptop.

I go downstairs cause I'm hungry AGAIN. I go into the kitchen and see Stella talking on the phone. "okay, okay yes yes I'll tell her right now, okay bye" she says then hangs up. "who was that?" I ask. "that was Jovanny's sisters he, he's in the hospital" she says.

I freeze in my steps and my heart stops. "what?? why?? what happened?!" I ask totally freaked out and worried out of my mind. "they don't know yet but they're on their way to pick you up to go to the hospital" she says.

I quickly go upstairs and put on some flip flops and grab my phone. "Chanelle!" Stella calls. "I'm coming!" I say as I go down the stairs as quickly as I can. With this big belly it isn't easy. I quickly go out the door and see Vivianna and Isabella waiting outside in their car.

I quickly go up to the car and get in. "what happened to Jovanny"  ask them on the verge of a nervous breakdown. "my dad just called us, he was on business with Jay at the office, and someone from the outside just started shooting, and one guy actually went into the office and started shooting at them" Isabella tells me.

My heart starts racing and I get a lump in my throat. "do they know who it was??" I ask. "no, my dad just said they were shot, no one knows how bad yet" she says. I try to keep calm and relax to prevent myself from passing out.

If anything happens to him, I don't know WHAT I would do. I hate going to hospitals for shit like this. It's happened so many times with family member and friends. I even hate that I have to be in the hospital to have the twins. But I know I have to.

We get to the family private hospital and quickly go in. I see Jovanny's parents, Jay's family, and a bunch of security. Only the top, high mobsters have a private family hospital for situations like this so the police won't get involved. This is actually the hospital I'm gonna give birth in.

I give Jovanny's parents a whirl wind of questions. He was shot 4 times. once in the shoulder, once in his back, once in his arm, and once in his stomach somewhere. That's where the trouble is. He's in surgery right now and there's nothing we can do but sit and wait.

When the doctor came out from finishing Jovanny's surgery, I got nervous. "we were able to stabilize him and he will be fine, we're transferring him to a room and then we'll allow you to see him in about 10 minutes" he says courteously. I sigh a sigh of relief.

Thank god he's alright. We wait the 10 minutes then walk to his room. He's laying in bed topless with wires attached to him, an I.V. AND bandages over the spots where he got shot. We all quietly enter the room and Jovanny's mom Angela goes up to him first.

"hi sweetheart how are you feeling?" she asks sweetly as she rubs his forehead. "I'm alright" he says. Then I go up to him and smile. "hi" I say as I sit next to him and give him a kiss. "bet I had you worried sick huh?" he asks with a small half smile.

"yes! I was about to have a nervous break down" I tell him with a soft smile shaking my head. "Lorenzo" Angela says to Jovanny's dad with an unhappy look on her face as she looks at me then Jovanny. She gestures his head for him to follow her outside.

"I'm sorry this happened, next time you'll be in a hospital it'll be for Cecilia and Lucca's birth, that's it, not cause I was shot, I promise" he tells me with a sorrowful expression as I hold his hand.  "it's not your fault, you didn't know this was gonna happen" I tell him. He just smiles.

I heard Angela and Lorenzo arguing outside. I wonder about what. Probably the fact that their son was shot. I stay by his side until it's time for me to leave. "come on Chanelle, I'll take you home" Isabella tells me. I nod. "okay, well, I'll come back tomorrow okay?" I tell Jovanny.

"alright" he says. I give him a kiss then walk out with Isabella. We get in the car and she drives me home. "want me to drive through McDonalds or something? It's pretty late and you haven't ate I bet you're starving" she says kindly. "no it's okay you don't have to Stella will make me something" I tell her.

"I'll drive you thru McDonalds" she says with a smile. I look at her and smile. "so, today was pretty crazy for you huh?" she asks. "yeah" I say with a sigh as I put my hands on my belly. "it's gonna be hard marrying someone in the mob, I don't even want to" she says in a disappointed tone.

"really?" I ask. "yeah, but I have to, I have no choice, you're lucky, you had a choice" she says. She's right. I was lucky. I could've married someone I having no clue who they are. Savino, to be more particular. In that moment I realized, this happened for a reason. Me getting pregnant by Jovanny after only knowing each other for a month, happened for a reason.

I know I'm young. I know to some people it was a "mistake", but everything happens for a reason. All of the ups and downs that have happened, happened, for a reason.
