One and a half months later
Cecilia
- Camilo, are you inconvenient like that from birth or did you go to college?
- I was born this way, black rose, but you like my posture! I know that this is all a charm to make me more attracted to you.
The Colombian since the day of Luana and Bernardino's honeymoon trip decided to fill my patience. He took advantage of the fact that my brother was not there to come and make inconvenient visits just to keep hitting on me and filling Melina's room with dolls and other toys. My daughter now only calls him "uncle", and my mother has not stopped spoiling Camilo since the day she told me she had no family in Brazil.
- How much longer is this plane going to take? I hate waiting!
- Camilo, you came because you wanted to, besides, the plane is going to take off in 10 minutes, if you don't want to wait you can leave, it's a favor you do me!
Today my brother and Luana arrive on a trip, Camilo just found out and appeared at the airport with the most shameless face of this world accompanied by his security guards, he came with the excuse that he had something very serious to resolve with my brother but it's all talk.
I know he came to fill my patience as he has been doing, I see my brother and sister-in-law holding hands and happy, I breathed a sigh of relief to see them together and well, Luana was quite uncertain about the wedding. Romeo turned off his cell phone and Luana's so that the two of them would be incommunicado in Porto de Galinhas, a tourist city in the Northeast of the country, my brother claimed that he didn't want anyone to disturb their trip with business or problems.
Luana was beautiful in a short green dress, it was impossible not to see the exchange of glances between Romeo and her, my brother is managing to conquer her as he says he would.
- I missed her so much, how are things? Where are Mama and Melina?
- Everything is fine, Mama stayed at home with Melina. She and Mrs. Conceição are making a welcome lunch for you, we all missed you so much!
I went to my brother and hugged him tight, we got very close to try to make up for lost time before his wedding, I can say without any doubt that we are good friends, I have in Romeo someone I can trust and who will always be around to take care of me and Melina.
- How are you, sister? And my niece?
- I am fine and your niece is also getting smarter and more talkative every day, I hope the trip was very good!
The look he gave Luana was the answer that everything was going very well. Along the way to the mansion, the two of them were always smiling at each other or kissing shamelessly.
- We could use the romantic mood to get together, pink!
- Camilo, give it a rest! The romance is between the two of them who have returned from their honeymoon, not between the two of us, inconvenient.
I often took Camilo's jokes as a sport and as a joke, but knowing a little about men I know that much of what he says is no joke.
I keep cutting the Colombian but do not know how long I will get, we arrived at the mansion being greeted by Sergio and breast with my little one in his arms. As soon as she saw us Melina wanted to get off her grandmother's lap to come to us, I went to her because even though she is taking her first steps I am still afraid that she might hurt herself.
- Hi, mama's love!
She pointed in the direction of my brother and Luana smiling to see them after a month away, she also pointed with her little finger in the direction of Camilo, my daughter treasures every face and is always willing to open a beautiful smile to see who she likes or has affection for.
We entered inside the mansion feeling the good smell of lunch, but strangely Luana stopped in the middle of the way putting her hand in her mouth as if she was going to vomit, she ran out to the guest bathroom, I followed her with Melina in my arms when I got there, Luana was vomiting a lot when she finally stopped I saw how depressed she was.
- Is everything okay?
- No, I'm still very nauseous, I don't think I'll be able to eat lunch, my stomach is very bad.
She went to the sink, washing her face even though Luana's features were still downcast, which worried me a lot. My sister-in-law has always been in good health except for the anxiety attacks and depression that were easily reversed with medication, but getting sick with a virus never happened.
- You are not anxious?
- I am not, in fact I have never been so well in my life. Romeo has been a prince all this last month but for a week now I have been feeling sick with morning sickness accompanied with horrible vomiting, the first time I thought it was because of something I ate but the other times I started to feel strange, besides that I have been feeling a pain in my stomach as if I had a strong craving.
I looked at my sister-in-law smiling, already knowing what she had, Luana noticed the way I looked at her.
- Lu, when was your last period?
- It was two weeks before the wedding but why the question?
I wondered what Luana had even though I couldn't be sure without first doing a test to prove it but everything led to believe that my sister-in-law was pregnant.
- She didn't get her period after that, did she? And as far as I know, she stopped taking medicine some time ago, right?
Luana noticed my line of thought, putting her hand on her head, nervous with the realization that she might be pregnant.
- There were many times I was with Romeo, every day to be exact, I can't believe I could be pregnant, it's been such a short time since we were married!
- I understand your concern, but we are not sure yet. First, let's ask Conceição to buy a pharmacy test, so that you can remove this doubt. What do you think?
Luana agreed immediately, asking us not to comment to anyone yet since we weren't sure and didn't want to cause false hopes in the family.
- If it's true? I don't know how your brother will react, we haven't talked about children yet, so I don't know what his reaction will be.
- Don't worry about it, my brother will be very happy, of that I have no doubt, children are blessings even when we don't expect them, now let's go to the living room, everyone must be worried about you.
We arrived in the room, Romeo ran to Luana worried that she had gone bad but soon my sister-in-law tried to say that there was nothing more, just a malaise, I realized that my brother did not believe but preferred not to say anything else while we were eating lunch, but it was impossible to escape from mama when Camilo and Bernardino were talking business in the office after lunch.
- What's wrong, little daughter? Now you can talk, your husband is no longer here, I know you didn't say anything to him so as not to scare him
- Mama, Cecilia thinks I might be pregnant but we are not sure.
Mama Emilia almost screamed, but she didn't because she realized we were too close to the office, and Bernardino could hear.
- That's wonderful, but we have to be sure! I'll go to the pharmacy and buy some tests, we need more than one to be sure but I know you are pregnant, I noticed how different you look, my bambina!
We went to my room, and I took advantage of the fact that Melina was already asleep to talk to my sister-in-law about the trip.
- I must admit that I didn't expect to be as happy with someone as I am with your brother. I can't hide from you that I'm starting to feel something for him, but I'm still afraid to give myself away again and suffer.
- Don't be afraid! My brother loves you and nothing can keep you apart, I know you're afraid of that monster but I'm pretty sure that Bernardino would never let anyone hurt you again.
I, like Luana, am also afraid of Dario but I will never allow him to hurt me again, I know he may be powerful but I am not the girl he made sure to abandon. Dario may even try to hurt me but I will not die without a fight.
- I know that, I just have to trust!
A few minutes later, mama arrived with the tests. We were apprehensive and anxious to know if Luana was really pregnant. She stayed for almost half an hour in the bathroom but soon came out crying like a little girl.
- What is it Lu?
- Cecilia, I am pregnant, all the tests were positive.
She showed the ten tests with the approval that she really is expecting a baby, which will certainly bring much joy to our family.
Romeo Bernardino
- Camilo, I need your help. I want to keep the Albertini's away from here, but the middle brother of the family has been sniffing around our territory, and for this reason I need your help.
- Of course, Bernardino! Just explain to me how to do it.
I told him everything that Sergio had discovered, of course omitting the fact that what had happened to Cecilia and Luana I only passed on the information obtained by my trusted soldier.
- Look, that area is not mine but I know who owns it, stay calm about this I will find a way to leave the European far away, I have an idea to keep the Italian away from here, it will be simple. But you know I don't do anything for free, right?
I knew Camilo would ask for something in return for the favor, the Colombian is no good at all.
- What would it be, you bastard?
- Your sister! I want your sister for myself.
I couldn't contain the anger that came over me and showed through in the punch I punched the Colombian in the face, that's a lot of abuse from that bastard.
- CALM DOWN, ROMEO! YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO DO THAT, MAN.
- HOW COULD I NOT? MY SISTER IS NOT ONE OF YOUR MANY WHORES! CECILIA IS NOT UNDER NEGOTIATION, YOU COLOMBIAN PIECE OF SHIT!
Camilo got up from the floor trying to recover from the punch he took, but he must be very crazy to think that I will allow him to do anything against my sister.
- Romeo, your sister is not a whore, I know that very well, I want a family, and Cecilia is already the complete package together with her niece. The little one already enjoys my humble presence in her life very much, why not try to make Cecilia feel the same way? I would never disrespect your family, I just want to have free access to Cecilia and your niece, while you were traveling I made myself present in their lives but I want to have your blessing. Your sister just needs to know that you support me, my intentions are as honest and serious as possible!
I didn't have many options, no matter how naughty Camilo was I couldn't deny that I was conquering a space in my sister's life even if she didn't want me to.
- All right, but don't forget, if Cecilia and Melina get hurt in this story I will make sure to rip their balls off personally!
- I would never hurt your sister and niece, I want them in my life as wife and daughter. It will come with time that despite my actions often not telling I am a family man.
We talked about the details of the plan he had in mind to keep the blue bloods well away from here I realized it was already late, so I decided to say goodbye to Camilo already being warned by the kid that tomorrow would be at lunch now that he has my support and blessing will enjoy enough to try to win my sister, I was already crazy to miss my moon, our trip was wonderful to have her in my arms as mine for sure was the best.
I showed her that it is possible to have pleasure without pain and I know that I am taking my rightful place in her heart, I have no doubt that soon Luana will be in love with me. When I arrived in our room, Luana was holding something in her hand sitting on the edge of the bed, earlier she had felt sick, I know I didn't want to worry her but there is something serious going on with her. I bent down to be close to her feeling the good perfume that only she has, notice that she was crying which caused me concern.
- What is going on, my moon?
- I wanted to say that I didn't expect this, I really didn't, I imagined it wouldn't happen so soon but then again, you came to me many times.
She turned all red when talking about the times we had sex, I really couldn't stay too long away from her and her delicious body. Luana will always have my love but I am still a man and I feel an uncontrollable desire and lust for my wife but her expression disturbed me.
- Tell me what you have, please!
- I'm pregnant, Romeo!
I couldn't believe that news, noticing that I didn't seem to believe that information, Luana showed me the various pregnancy tests she had done. I couldn't contain my happiness in knowing that Luana was already expecting my first child, I started to kiss her in gratitude for giving me the opportunity to be a father.
- It's a boy, I'm sure it is!
- Stop being silly, it's still too early to tell!
I was caressing her belly as we lay there, feeling deep inside me that my firstborn was being conceived, even though it didn't seem like it because it was still so small.
- It's a boy, Moon, I have no doubt about it! My love, I want to thank you for giving me the honor of being a father, you won't regret it.
Now more than ever I need to protect my family against any threat that could take away our peace, and that means I need to keep the Albertini as far away from here as possible.
