The night we met

Chapter 43

Babies.

Such tiny humans that develop in a woman's uterus over nine months exactly. For the mother it means a change in her life giving her new responsibilities she needs to take care of. She always wonders if she will be a good mom, that if she will raise good and enough her kid to make him know how to make their own decisions for themselves. The mother will have to wake up in the morning to give them breast milk and changer their diapers. She will be there to give them love and always listen to their problems when they get home and someday she will be proud when they achieve their goals. But others is another opinion and worry they have in different occasions. There's a phrase that says a mother starts to love her child even when its inside of them. I don't know if thats true so I can't assure you that.

By the babies perspective, its just an innocent human coming to a big, beautiful yet dangerous world. But that doesn't take his eager to meet it. They say a baby its a blessing because when they grow they have just so much gentleness and kindness to give to everyone even if they are strangers. Its just their innocence which everyone likes. But the innocence goes with the time as they are taken to the real world, forming their personality with their family and friends influence.

Those are babies and we all have been.

I'm sitting on my office as Lily and I eat our food and she caresses her bump. I stare at it while she talks but I'm not hearing anything since I'm lost in my thoughts. Its like when someone tries to talk to you meanwhile you listen music with your headphones. I don't know but I'm quite stressing a lot because of the many orders I need to give and drop-ship them. Well everything else.

Christmas was also coming and we decided to spend it in here. I invited our friends and Matteo's father including Salvatore. He was against it but I insisted that they needed to come and spend christmas with us. I mean its his dad we are talking about even if he doesn't hide that I doesn't like me, I still invited him. I planned a beautiful dinner with all of them in our house, in the backyard. I needed to put the Christmas tree in the.....

"Ava, you're not listening to me."

I blinked again focusing on her but he just raised an eyebrow shaking her head.

I sighed.

"I'm sorry, its just that I have many things in mind that I lost myself with them."

"I noticed that. What were.....ouch," she said as she touched her bump.

"Is she kicking again?," I said as I stood up and bend down near her as my gaze went to her hand. Lily had told me the first time her baby kicked and I got excited for her.

"We don't if its a girl, yet. Come feel it."

She grabbed my hand and placed it on top of her bump. I waited and finally felt a hard kick pushing my hand, it felt like she/he wanted to come out already. Lily was only missing a month for her labor but it felt close enough. We hadn't even went to the mall to buy the baby's clothes because we didn't knew the gender. She had gotten an appointment for today and she offered me to since I was the baby's godmother. I promised myself to always be at her side helping her. I hadn't even taken care of a baby before but I was about to learn a lot then.

I smiled at her as the baby continued to kick. Suddenly Lily grabbed her phone and her smiled faded immediately. I knew something was wrong by the way she hold her phone tighter and her breathing changed. It was like she was angry, sad but mostly afraid.
