SIXTY-NINE
Kamilla Lopez
It was 7 am, ready to go home. Last night Nick didn't come back, however, this morning he did show up as soon as Dad left. A nurse helped me take a shower and take care of my daughter. Bianca and Viktor didn't show up anymore, she spent the rest of her day trying to settle back into her routine, Viktor wasn't happy with Nick's actions, I realized he wanted to stay with Bianca.
Earlier he spoke to her on the phone, in such a short time that he is free, he managed to get a new job, cut some of his hair and got a new car, this was a gift from Nick.
— Was it an apology?— I asked Nick, he was next to Paola's crib, he was admiring.
'It was the least I could do. He replied, still focused on his daughter.'
— After that gift, I don't even remember what he did to me. — Bianca spoke on the call, smile.
— Did you like the car? I asked.
— Very! Gift idea as an apology. She smiled on the call. — Who's here. Is it on speakerphone?
— No....
— Does he ever ask that little question?
— What little question?
— The one where you agree to marry him.
— No, I think he gave up. — I said, Nick didn't know what it was about, he was too entertained with his daughter.
— I doubt. The man made a statement in front of me that of the mangy one, I doubt he'll let it go.
The nurse appeared in the room, took Paola and placed her in the high chair, suitable for putting babies in the car. That done, Nick took it and, together with the small bag, caught my attention:
— Is ready?
— Yes.
— So let's go. — he pointed to the door, I said goodbye to Bianca, and we left the room.
In the parking lot, I let him put our daughter in the backseat and soon after he helped me into the front seat, then took the wheel and drove us to his property. The gates opened, and the car was parked near the main entrance. We were greeted by Morgana and Erick, who were looking forward to seeing the baby.
Erick approached the car quickly, watched Nick take the car seat, and looked closely at his sister.
— Too small. He said with a twinkle in his eye. — Now you can give me a little brother.
— All in good time, Eric. Your mother has just given birth, she needs to rest for a while. Nick explained, he seemed to understand.
We went through the main door and up the stairs, Nick didn't let me take the baby from his car seat until after we went through his bedroom door. He gave me the space to enter first. My eyes admired the beauty of the beautifully decorated room, I couldn't believe that the room was more beautiful than I imagined, it was perfect.
— Did you like it? Nick asked me, he put the bag on the floor and took our daughter out of the chair.
— The room is perfect!— I said while still admiring the room.
I approached the crib, it was beautifully decorated with soft and light comforters, the white lace mosquito net with gold decorations made it even more delicate. I looked at the windows to the side, covered with white and pink curtains, everything was perfect. Nick walked over to me, he held our daughter out and placed her in my arms, it was time to feed her.
— The armchair is next to the small sofa. He said, I walked over and sat down.
— Did you decorate it?— I asked, still stunned by the beauty of the room.
— Last minute, that's why I didn't go back to the hospital.
— Hmm!
— If you need me, I'll be in the office.— He walked to the door, before he left, I caught his eye. Nick looked at me.
— Thanks. — I thanked him with a small smile, without saying anything else, he left.
As soon as I fed my girl, I put her in her crib and went to the bedroom, there I got rid of my clothes and opted for another bath, then I put on a nightgown. While Paola was sleeping, I decided to rest, I was feeling pain, mainly cramps. Now that I've just given birth, I'm going to spend a lot of time wearing the famous diapers, I never thought it would come so much.
At lunchtime, an employee brought it to me, along with her, Erick came to keep me company, I realized that he was very curious about the new member. Still in bed while having a glass of water, he sat on the edge of the bed and asked:
— Are you sick, Mommy?
— No, my love, I'm just on call.
— What is that?
— When a woman has a baby, she needs rest to recover. I explained.
— It hurt a lot?
— Yes. I said, remembering the strong and intense pain I felt.
— How long will it take you to give me a little brother?
— Very. I just had your little sister, it's a very slow process. And about you having a brother, only daddy from heaven chooses.
— So I'm going to have to talk to him?
— I think so
— Okay, but how do I do this?
— You make a prayer request, then maybe he will accept your request.
— That simple? He questioned.
— And I think. But it's too early to ask, all right?
— Yes, I will know how to wait. — at the end he smiled, I had to get him to forget about that subject for a while.
Erick joined me, and we had lunch together, in the afternoon he went to the garden with his dog, I went to my daughter's room, when I opened the door I saw her start to cry, I fed her quickly. I didn't need help from other people, I managed to take care of my little Esmeralda. Sometimes Morgana helped me put on her clothes or change her diapers.
— Where's Nick?— I asked her, before she left the room.
— Mr. Ross went out this afternoon. She informed, then left me alone.
She was thoughtful about her new and questioning attitudes. I know I should give him a vote of confidence, but he's Nick Ross, an explosive man when it comes to anything about me. I should trust him, after all he gave Bianca freedom. But trust is not gained overnight. Night came, I went back to the room and changed OB, when I left the bathroom, the door was opened by him.
Nick entered the room, I watched his movements, he walked to the armchair and threw on his suit, then his tie.
— Good night, little doll.
— Good night, Nick. I greeted him, sitting on the edge of the bed.
— How was your day? — he asked, I quickly looked at him seriously, he never asked me such a question.
— It went well. And you?
— Excellent. — Without saying anything else, she walked towards the bathroom and started her shower.
I decided to lie down, the brief intervals will be necessary to sleep while the little one sleeps. Soon I will have to wake up and take care of my angel. I check the electronic drool next to the dresser, it remains silent. About to fall asleep, I felt the mattress sink, I remained with my eyes closed, pretending to be sleeping. Soon, his thick and rough fingers smoothed my cheek, Nick did it for a long time, with tenderness and delicacy.
— Mi bella.....— he whispered and turned to sleep.
