Can't Have You (#wattys2019)

Part 27

"Gosh I hate this dress, I feel like a penguin, strugling to walk." Patty groaned as she stumbled to Nonna's house. It is only a few meters walk but she has put on some weight and the Italy sun isn't helping eather. "I can't wait for this baby to be born."

Monica chuckled. "I think we are all impatient." She grabbed her stuff, helping her up the stairs. "You should really call Jo..."

"Patty!" Nonna opened her front door, grabbing her hands. "You came, I'm so happy." She pulled her tightly as she could, due to her big belly. "Look at you, you are gonna be such wonderfull mother." She kissed her cheek.

"Nonna, it's so good to see you again." Pattu returned the hug. "I can't believe it's your birthday. How old are you again, sixty something?"

Nonna giggled. "Ohh, those were the days." She closed the door behind them and led them to the kitchen. "Sorry about the mess Iwas preparing a cake. I wasn't sure if you will make it." She bowed her head.

Patty hugged her again and kissed her wrinkled cheek. "I wouldn't miss it in a world." She put an aprint on and put a wine glass in Monica's and Nonna's hand. "Sit down I will make you a cake everyone will talk about."

"Happy birthday dear Nonna... Happy birthday to you." Monica and Patty sang. They decited to have a little get together before all the neighbours arrive.

Patty poured herself somw apple juice and rested her feet on the small table. "No one ever told me carrying a baby will be this exhousting." She rubbed her feet.

"Baby daddy should be there to rub those, you know." Nonna pointed out cousing Monica to turn around and hide a smirk that was forming on her lips. "He is such an idiot that grandson of mine."

Patty chuckled. "Indeed he is, but let's not talk about him. Et least not today." She groaned. "I just want to celebrate your birthday and go home with out any stress possible."

Nonna wasn't happy with tje aituation but ahe didn't make a comment. She knew better than to argue with a heavy pregnant lady. "Our quests should be here any moment now."

Ding, dong..!

Patty looked at Nonna and giggled. "You should have said that sooner." She got up and put her slippers on. "I'll go, it's your day and you should rest." She walked towards the front door and opened them with a big smile. "Benvenuto..." Her smile dropped as she saw Joe standing at the other side of the door. "Joe?!"
