Capitolo Ventinove - Sweetheart

Chapter Twenty-Nine

I LET THE infamous beep sound make a ploy into my head as I groaned out of pain ringing through the entirety of my body.

Opening my eyes, I closed them back again from the bright lights that were hoisted up on the ceiling. I put the back of my hands on my eyelids so I could resurface the lack of temperature I was feeling.

I let myself go in a state where all I wanted to do was cry, the utter silence, no sound of Adriano or the kids, but the only sound that could be heard was the monitor measuring my erratic heartbeat.

Letting the tears slowly form, my hands instantly crossed across my stomach, almost like a motherly instinct, making sure my unborn baby was really okay even after the stress I put myself through, just for the satisfaction to prove that his family was indeed fucked up in the least.

"The babies are okay."

Turning my head to the voice that still has the power to bring me goosebumps on my bare skin and cause the butterflies in my stomach to go crazy in the least, I was scared of what he could do now because now everything was indeed over.

"Babies?"

I asked with slight confusion as I asked for confirmation that I was indeed carrying two little babies once again.

"Twins, the doctors say that you're a little over three weeks, hence bed rest until further instruction."

He sat next to the bed, as he opened the water bottle in his hand as he chugged the water out of thirst, as I wandered into the depths into my mind.

I was still the girl who just took care of our children and the girl who's just a nurse. There was no 'me' to him, but he is and always apart of me; because without him, we wouldn't have our beautiful children and in hopes, there would be no 'us'.

To think now, that our entire relationship was forced so my father could get back at the De Russo's because his father killed my mother; to say the least, I wasn't sad that I lost a person who I could and can still call 'mother' or to say 'father' but the one thing I was so over-edge about was the very fact that my relationship with Adriano could be destroyed by the mere fact that everything we had was forced.

Opening my eyes slowly, I looked at his face that even times I wonder, how is he even mine. I dragged my hand at the end of his jaw as it made contact with the slight stubble that was laced over.

But my hand flinched over as I looked at him in confusion.

"W-who are you?"

I asked with a slight accusation as I felt my heart quicked from the sudden stranger that made an appearance.

"Tesoro!? It's me, what do you mean-"

(Sweetheart)

Before he could get angry and start spilling accusations over me, I let out a burst of laughter as I looked at him in slight sympathy as he went through so much yet he was by my side, waiting for me.
