— Good morning to the most beautiful woman in the world and who is going to give me the most beautiful babies in the world! - Demetrius entered the room smiling with a full breakfast tray in his hands.

— Good morning to the most romantic and cutest man, best father and best boyfriend in the world! I replied smiling and he kissed me on the cheek.

- Did you sleep well? he asked, sitting on the edge of the bed.

— Yeah, I didn't even see you get up . But I've been feeling some cramps, it must be normal, my belly is huge. — I replied eating a piece of watermelon which was my favorite fruit.

"Is it really normal?" Want to go to the doctor? - Demetrius changed his face from happy to worried.

— No love... That's normal, I'm pregnant with twins! I said, smiling humorously emphasizing the word twins.

“But I'll at least call the doctor. Have you ever changed your mind about owning a cell phone?

I remember I never had one and I didn't want one, I just didn't want a cell phone.

- No. Baby I'm fine. And did you sleep well? I asked trying to change the subject.

When it came to our children he was always very worried.

- Yes. Today I have a very important job. Remember how your father wanted to sell a piece of the farm that isn't making much profit?

- Yes? I said, eating cake.

“So he asked me to accompany him to a meeting today.

- Oh, really? And is it far? I'm going to miss you…” I whimpered.

— It's a little bit my love, it's here in the state next to ours, maybe I won't be back until tomorrow if I can't get a flight for the same day. he explained.

"A day or two away from you?" Please do not go. I will feel much nostalgia. — I asked , it really had given me a squeeze in the heart, it seemed that something bad was going to happen.

— Love, this is very important for your father and for both of us, I need this to give you, my family, a good condition. I don't want you and our children to depend on him directly, you are my wife and these — he pointed to my belly — are my children. We have to build our house.

"But what if I need you?" We'll need. — my eyes filled with tears, with the pregnancy I cried for everything.

Many times I was just taking a shower and I started to cry from sobbing for no apparent reason.

— Maria is here and Sonia too. — Sônia was the new cook and caretaker of the house — And nothing bad will happen either, I'll be back as soon as I can, I'll miss you very much, maybe I'll be back the same day . - he said running his hand on my huge belly.

Suddenly my father knocked on the bedroom door and entered.

- Father? Do you want to leave me without Demetrius today?

- Daughter...

— I already explained to her Hector. — as time went by my father told Demetrius to call him by name because now they were friends and also from the same family.

— But dad, I feel something strange, please go another day! My heart screamed at Demetrius not to go, at least not today.

— Livia my princess! I love you so much daughter and I do everything for you, but this is very important, we need to go there and resolve this today, but we'll be back faster than you can imagine. You will be fine.

"Love, don't you think you're being a little..." He closed his mouth, giving up on what he was going to say.

"A little what?" Come on, speak. - I insisted .

— You know that this is our job, I do everything for you, I'll give you the attention of the whole world if I can, but today my beautiful, just today I need to go a little further, but I'll be back soon, I promise.

— It's okay... You don't have to call me selfish! That's what you were going to call me, wasn't it? That's something I'm not! I complained, upset.

“For a moment it looked like, I'm sorry. Demetrius confirmed my thought.

- Oh yes? So go, Demetrius. Go soon... Bye! I pushed the empty tray away and lay on my side with my back to them.

I felt Demetrius' hands caressing me but I motioned for him to stop.

— Don't be upset... I love you, and I'll be back soon. he whispered and kissed me on the cheek.

- Daughter? — my father called and I didn't look — Lívia?

- Hey?! I replied still with my back turned.

— We'll be back soon, we love you very much, okay ?

"I love you too, bye."

"Wow, now you're about to throw us out." my father said and he and Demetrius smiled.

— It's not that, I want you to go soon to come back soon.

- Love you so much my love. - Demetrius smiled and my father kissed me on the forehead saying goodbye.

The two left, I watched through the window as they took the car and left. My heart was getting tighter. I decided to go to Maria.

I got to her room and she was reading a magazine about children.

- Hey. I knocked twice on the door and smiled.

— Hey love come in, I'm here reading some things, I want to be a good mother to this boy here. — they had found out it was a boy. She smiled happily and stroked her belly.

— You don't need anything to be a good mother, you're good at everything Mari...

— You will also be Livia... You are so sweet and good, your babies are lucky. And how are you guys? - Maria ran her hand on my belly a little bigger than hers.

— We're here dying to be born. I did the baby voice and we both laughed.

After some time talking, I told her about my cramps, I said that it was normal for Demetrius, but the truth is that I had never felt them before.

We went down together, had lunch and went for a walk around the farm, it had been almost three hours since they had gone and the time seemed to take longer than usual.

We went back in and sat down on the couch in the living room. Sonia came to us and we started talking, she told us about when she had children, she had seven in all, all raised.

When I suddenly felt a warm liquid dripping down my legs, followed by a strong pain in my stomach.

- There! I yelled putting my hand on my stomach.

— Livia? What it was? Maria got up in a hurry and came over to me.

— Oh , what an infernal pain Maria! — suddenly the pain increased.

— My God, from the amount of water, I think your water broke and your babies will be born before their time. said Mary.

“But it's so early. - Sonia said desperately.

“It's early, it's early. They are only seven months old, at the last visit they weren't yet birth weight and the doctor said they would gain what they needed in the last two months. — as if it were not possible, the pain increased, it was so strong that I almost lacked air.

— Sonia, call one of the pedestrians quickly to take her to the hospital! — Maria ordered Sonia, who ran quickly to call someone.

— Maria... It's too early, it's not time yet, are my babies okay? I said and started to cry, not from the pain, but from the worry.

What if there was something wrong with my babies?

Could I even have that without suffering? Was everything in my life summed up in suffering?

— Calm down... There are two of them, gestation is different, children are always born before their time, don't be scared, I'm going to get a glass of water.

She left to get some water and Sonia came back trying to calm me down.

— The first one I came across was Marcos, he's already coming with a car.

I didn't care who it was, I just wanted to get to the hospital as soon as possible.

— Sonia, could you get the bags from their little room?

“Sure, I'm coming. — when she turned around, I got up from the couch because the pain had passed a little.

I looked down at my legs and saw blood oozing.

— Sonia! Blood! Oh my God, something is wrong, help me, help me, we have to go to the hospital right now. Where's Marcos? — I was desperate, I didn't know what to do, the pain was immense but despair was greater than anything.

I was afraid of losing my children.

"I'll rush you!" she said and left again.

Maria returned with a glass in her hands.

"Here's the water, stay calm, okay?" Let's get you to the hospital! Everything will be fine. - Maria said trying to calm me down.

"Maria, I'm bleeding a lot!" This can't be normal, I'm scared of losing my children , if something happens to them I'll die together! I cried desperately.

"I already have the car outside." I heard Marcos's voice as he ran into the house.

— Sonia, the baby bags while we put her in the car. Mary said.

Marcos didn't say a word before lifting me in his arms and hurried me out to the car, he sat me in the front seat which was reclined back. I bit my lip trying to hold back a cry of pain.

"Stay calm, take a deep breath. said Mark.

Sônia immediately returned with the bags, Marcos put them in the trunk and Maria sat in the back seat, Sônia also came with us to support Maria, since she was also pregnant and going through a stressful situation.

Marcos put the safety seat on me and started at high speed towards the hospital in the city, Maria held my hand from the back seat and tried to calm me down, telling me all the time that everything would be fine.

Earlier I was heartbroken. Now he knew why.
