Miracles of Love (Soy Luna Pregnancy series)

10. Lutteo - Announcement to the team

Author's note: Hi, everyone! I wish all of you the best as always and if you're feeling down right now, don't, because I have a very good medicine for you ;) After long eight weeks (I can't believe it myself as well) I'm posting another chapter about Luna and Matteo. It starts the next day after the chapter 2 of this fanfiction. Next week you can expect another Lutteo chapter, because I had a great idea and couldn't quite fit it into one chapter. I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did while I was writing it ;) 

-----Next day after the end of the last Lutteo chapter-----

When Luna woke up, the sun was already rising. Luna smiled to herself and stroked her stomach gently. It was just the day before when they found out that they were expecting a baby, but for Luna it seemed like she had known about it from the beginning. 

Luna glanced over at sleeping Matteo, who was holding her in sleep in his strong arms protectively. She was feeling so blessed and honored that she can carry his baby. Even though the pregnancy wasn't planned at all, both Luna and Matteo were really excited of becoming parents.

Suddenly, Luna heard and felt her stomach turning. She knew that feeling. She had quickly sat up and ran to the bathroom.

She has been there for a few seconds, when the door opened swiftly. She couldn't say a thing, because she was still bend over the toilet. Matteo had kneeled beside her, took her hair gently and tied them to a ponytail. Then he started rubbing circles on her back.

"I'm sorry, love. It will be worth it in the end. And I will always be there with you to help you." He whispered and kissed her hair.

Luna smiled weakly. "I know. Thank you, Matteo. I'm sorry, I didn't want to wake you up. But our little one is not satisfied with my dinner." She smiled. Matteo laughed. "Yeah, our baby definitely hates Mexican food. And because you need an healthy diet, I'm going to take control over it and I will cook for you the best Italian food." Luna asked, playing a little bit angry, with a toothbrush in her mouth. "Really? And why do you think that your food is better than mine?"

Matteo had chuckled, hugged her from behind and grinned at her in the mirror. "Because Italian food has no chilly in it, you know. And he or she is half me, that means that he or she will love Italian food as much as I do. And we're gonna cook lots of vegetables, too." Luna shook her head with a big smile plastered on her beautiful face. "Don't be so conceited, Chico fresa, or the child is going to inherit it." Matteo stated with his lips just milimetres away from hers. "But that wouldn't be so bad, no? Because you love it when I am so snobby." And winked at her.

He didn't give her a chance to respond, because he kissed her passionately. Then he admitted. "I'm so excited of becoming a dad. I love you and our baby the most at this world." Luna smiled. "Me too." Then she exclaimed. "Oh no! Matteo, we have to hurry! We have training with Roller team!" With that, she headed out of the bathroom.

Matteo took her by the wrist and gently stopped her in her actions. "Luna, do you remember what the doctor told you yesterday? You can't do any sports from now. And it includes skating. It could possibly hurt the baby. Plus, we didn't know about our baby, so we were skating normally like the baby wasn't on its way. We can just thank every God that exists that nothing bad happened to him or her." He stated apologeticaly and seriously.

Luna saddened almost immediately. "Oh, I forgot. It's so bad that I can't skate now, I'm not sure that I can live without skates. But of course, our little one is way more important to me than a pair of skates." Matteo laughed. "That's funny to hear that. Sometimes I have a feeling that you were born with pair of roller skates on your feet." Luna laughed, but then asked seriously. "You really think that I would put in risk life of our baby?" Matteo shook his head. "I was just joking, Luna. I know that our baby is way more important to you than roller skates." Luna stated. "I'm glad that you know that."

-One hour later in Jam and Roller-

Luna and Matteo got to the rink, where everybody was waiting for them. Matteo went to the rink and Luna took a seat on the tribune. Juliana asked worriedly. "Luna, what's wrong with you? Where are your skates? You really need to put them on, if you want to be part of the team's choreography for the competition. Or are you ill? Because yesterday you went to the hospital after you messed the floor."

Luna's smile faded, when she came onto the rink in her shoes. "That's it, Juliana. No, I'm not ill, I'm completely fine, but..." She trailed off and looked at Matteo. He put his arm around her waist and squeezed her hand encouragingly. Luna smiled and continued. "The thing is that me and Matteo are expecting a baby together."

"What?!" gasped all of their friends and Juliana as well. Ramiro pleaded. "Please, say that it's a joke. If it really is, it's the worst joke that I have ever heard." But when he saw Luna and Matteo's shining bright smiles and when he noticed the way Luna held her stomach, he understood. He smiled in disbelief. "Oh my God. So it's true." Matteo just nodded proudly.

Juliana shook her head in complete shock and anger. "Why didn't you just tell me that you were trying for a baby?" She raised her voice. Matteo blushed a little and explained. "We weren't, actually. But somehow it happened and we couldn't be happier." Luna nodded and said. "We didn't plan it, but now we are really amused, happy and excited. It's so beautiful, the feeling that a new person is growing inside of me." She laughed amusedly. Matteo kissed her on the cheek.

Juliana took a deep breath. "I wouldn't expect you to be that irresponsible. But it happened and we all just have to accept it. How long are you pregnant?" Luna answered. "Eight weeks." Juliana gasped. "Eight weeks?! Why didn't you tell us sooner?" Matteo started to defend themselves. "We couldn't, Juliana, we found out yesterday."

Luna started to apologize. "I'm sorry, I never wanted to get you in this situation, but the doctor told me that I can't skate from now, because it could hurt our baby. Please, forgive me, and try to understand me, us. I can't put in risk life of our baby just because of the competition." A tear escaped out of her eyes. Jim went to hug her. "I understand you, Luna, all of us do. It's obvious that you won't risk your baby's life just because of us. Don't worry." Luna smiled. "Thank you, Jim. You are great friend." Jim smiled.

Luna asked carefully, a little broken inside. "Are you mad at us, Juliana?" Juliana shook her head and smiled. "I didn't expect this, but I am happy for you. If any of your friends would get into this situation, they wouldn't handle it like you can. I'm sure that the two of you will be the best parents in the whole world, despite the fact that you, Luna, are turning 23 in four weeks time and you, Matteo are only 24." Both of them smiled and said. "Thank you." 

Luna then turned to everyone with worry in her eyes. "And you, our friends? Are you mad at us, mad at me?" All of them smiled and shook their heads. Nina smiled and answered. "Of course not. How could we even be mad at you for these great news? Congratulations!" Luna started laughing. Soon, everyone wished them the best and gratulated them.

Luna was a little sad that she can't participate in the competition, but then she realized that Matteo was right, when he told her. "It doesn't mean that you will never skate again. You just have to take a break for a year or so." Luna smiled and said. "That's true. I am a little bit sad that I can't skate now, because I love skating, but I love our baby more. It's worth it." Then she stood on her tiptoes and kissed Matteo.

They were ready and determined to face the parethood bravely with love and understanding.
