Chapter 120
Rachel
I didn’t have time to look at the stick before I vomited again. There goes my theory that I could keep a chocolate muffin down. I got up from the floor and took the stick. I turned it around and it said not pregnant, exactly what I was afraid of. I decided to use another one. I followed the instructions again, pee on the stick and wait. I set my alarm and went to the kitchen to take another sip of my hazelnut latte. I stood against the counter drinking my coffee thinking what if I am pregnant? What if this is how the next 9 months will be like? Will I survive it? Well, if I am pregnant, I didn’t have a chose. The alarm went off and I went back to the bathroom. I turned the stick around I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, this test said I’m pregnant, maybe I should do another one, just to make sure. At least Bianca bought 3. I peed on yet another stick, set my alarm and waited. This time I couldn’t leave the bathroom. I sank to the floor and put my head on my knees. I didn’t know if I was hoping its positive or negative. It would make the best Christmas gift, because what do you buy a guy like Massimo, he has everything. The alarm went off and I got up slowly. I pick the stick up and turned it around this one also showed positive. I started to cry; I was sitting on the bathroom floor crying. I heard Bianca calling my name from the bedroom. “I’m in the bathroom Bianca.” “Can I come in?” “Yes, off course.” She found me on the floor crying with all the boxes on the vanity and 2 sticks. I was still holding the other one in my hand.” “Are you okay Rachel?” “Yes, I think so Bianca, maybe overwhelmed. I never thought I’ll get pregnant again.” “So, the test is positive?” “Two of the three test were positive.” “You want me to go and buy more Rachel?” “No Bianca I think two out of three confirms it. Maybe a blood test will be better. But how do I do that without Massimo knowing?” “We could make an appointment at my doctor.” “What about Marco he’ll definitely tell Massimo, and I promised Massimo I’ll go to his doctor if I’m not better by Monday.” “I’ll go back to the chemist and get everything I can that helps with pregnancy nausea and then we’ll talk to Marco together, telling him you want it to be a surprise for Massimo.” “You’ll do that?” “Off course I will Rachel, I’m here for you Marco to. Yes, Massimo pays us but we are here to protect you and see to your needs.” “Thank you, Bianca, tell Marco I want another latte, I actually do want another latte please.” “Okay and when I’m back we can talk to Marco.” “Thank you, Bianca.” “My pleasure, let me help you of the floor. And I take it you’ll prefer me taking care of these boxes?” “Yes please, I’ll just keep one, positive stick.” Bianca helped me of the floor then I went to bed and just closed my eyes for a few minutes. An hour later Bianca came to wake me, “Massimo’s mom is here and I got you a few things, but I’ll wait until she’s gone.” “Thank you, Bianca.” I went to the lounge where I found Rossa, Massimo’s mom, looking at the Christmas tree. “Hi Rossa” “Oh dear sorry child I didn’t want them to wake you.” “No problem Rossa I asked them to wake me. How are you?” “Much better than you child, I brought you some of my chicken soup and my famous lasagne for Massimo.” “Thank you so much Rossa, I’m sure I’ll be able to keep that down.” “If you keep it down, I’ll send you more until you feeling better.” “Thank you Rossa, you’re the best.” “I love the decorations. The house looks alive for the first time since Massimo moved in here.” “That makes me very happy to here.” “Well child let me not hold you up any longer, go back to bed.” “I’ll walk you to the door.” “Nonsense child you stay right here, I know the way.” “Thank you again Rossa.” “My pleasure.”
When Rossa was gone Bianca and Marco came into the lounge. Bianca brought me a bag of things and my Ice latte. “How did you keep it cool like this Bianca?” “I have my ways.” She winked at me. “Please take a seat you two.” Marco was hesitant but then he sat down, very uncomfortable might I say. “Marco, I have a favour to ask you and Bianca, Bianca knows already.” “Off course Rachel anything.” “It’s something you’ll have to keep from Massimo until Christmas.” “I don’t know if I could keep something from boss Rachel.” “Not even if it’s his Christmas gift?” I asked in shock “I might be able to keep that a secret, what is it?” “You promise you’ll not tell a soul; I might need more help with this than you think.” “I promise Rachel.” “Okay, Marco I’m pregnant.” “Oh my God Rachel that’s such good news, Boss will be over the moon he always wanted little bambini’s.” “I know, but I want to make double sure before I get too excited myself, Bianca got me an appointment at a doctor, which you’ll need to take me to and we’ll have to lie to Massimo.” “On our trip can we take you to shop as well?” Both Bianca and I looked at him funny. “Yes, but why?” “If we tell Boss we’re going shopping and we make another stop then I’m not lying.” “Okay Marco we can go shopping.” “Good” Bianca gave me the bag. “I bought everything they said would help for nausea, there’s ginger lollies, pregnancy lollies and tablets. I took the lollies out of the pregnancy box and put them with the other lollies.” “Thank you so much for your help today, Bianca I really appreciate it. Marco thank you for helping me with the decorations. One last request Marco, I decided the big Nut crackers would look better outside on each side of the door and the smaller one’s here on each side of the fire place.” “I’ll get on it Rachel.” “Thank you both.” Marco changed the nut crackers for me then both of them left me. I took my ice coffee and a pregnancy lolly and went back to the room to brush my teeth and hair. I just wanted to look a bit better than last night. I came out of the room as Massimo entered the apartment,
“Honey I’m home!”
How am I going to keep this from him?
