Chapter 129
Massimo
Bella just ‘took the wind out of my sails’. “What do you mean you thought you were pregnant?” “After you suggested it, I googled if you could have a fever before you find out your pregnant and according to google it was possible. Bianca bought me 3 pregnancy test and 2 out of the 3 was positive. I was going to see Bianca’s doctor on Monday for blood test. I didn’t want to tell you, I wanted to keep it as a surprise as a Christmas gift, because let’s be serious what can I buy you that you can’t buy yourself.” “Okay” “Okay what Massimo?” “I’m processing Bella, give me a minute.” So, Bella might be pregnant what a blessing that would be. I couldn’t believe my ears. Obviously, Marco and Bianca new. I should have a word with Marco. “Did Marco know?” “Yes, but I asked him not to tell you, he was very difficult to convince.” “And why do you say it might not be possible know?” “Well Massimo, I lost consciousness you needed to do CPR, maybe I lost the baby because there wasn’t enough air.” Then she started crying again. I went to her and held her. “Bella we’ll not going to know anything until the doctor does blood test and have a look at you. Let’s not think the worse yet, please.” “Are you mad at me and Marco?” “No Bella it would have been a very wonderful surprise on Christmas morning, but I would have figured out something is wrong.” “How?” “Well for one you are very snappy with me; you left your cloths on the floor like you couldn’t wait to get out of it. How long would you have been able to hide the morning sickness and I guess you stopped running because you were getting sick and didn’t want me to see? And what about this sweet tooth of yours that you never really had? I’m a very observant person Bella, that’s how I make my money and stay alive.” “Wow Massimo, I thought I hide it well.” “Bella it’s two in the afternoon and you’re in your cosy PJ’s the one’s that make you feel better. Need I say more.” She started to cry again, “what if I lost the baby Massimo?” “Then we’ll try again Bella, but let’s wait for the doctor and hear what he has to say.” I was boiling from the inside not at all as calm as I appear. If that fucker wasn’t dead, I would have killed him now, he put not only my Bella’s life in danger but also my baby. I wanted to hit something, I wanted to kill someone. I tried to calm myself down, when Marco came into the lounge with the doctor.
“Doctor” I greeted him “Massimo” he greeted me. “Who is the patient?” Bella spoke up, that would be me she stood up and shook the doctor’s hand, “Rachel, nice to meet you doctor, sorry you had to co e out on a Sunday.” “No problem, Rachel if Massimo calls, I’m here no matter what day or time, so please don’t worry about it, my name is Phillip.” The doctor was trying to put Bella at ease. “What happened?” Before Bella could answer I spoke. “We had an intruder and he tried to suffocate Rachel with a pillow, I needed to do CPR to get her to breath again.” Then Rachel chipped in “And I think I’m pregnant and is more worried about the baby than myself.” She said while looking at me with a look that said ‘I can talk for myself.’
Rachel
I was getting highly irritated with Massimo; does he really think I can’t see his boiling from the inside. Just as I have signs, he has as well. Then he has the audacity to speak for me with the doctor. “How far along do you think you are?” “No idea, I took three pregnant test 2 was positive one was negative.” “And I take it you haven’t told Massimo yet, until this incident otherwise I would have been summons already.” “That’s correct doctor, I wanted to keep it a secret, to give it as a present to him for Christmas, but then this incident happened and I couldn’t keep quite anymore and apparently I wasn’t hiding it well enough.” I look at Massimo as I said it. “Massimo is there a room I can use to examine Rachel?” “Yes, follow me to the spare room.” Yes, doctor we had to go to the spare room because my soon to be husband killed someone in our bedroom. I thought to myself. When we entered the room, the doctor said “Massimo can you give us some privacy please.” He didn’t move. “Massimo please” I said half irritated. He left the doctor and me alone. “I detect a bit of an irritations between you two.” “Probable the hormones” I told the doctor. He smiled at me “Yes let’s make the hormones the culprit. Now how long we’re you unconscious for?” I don’t know ask a bit louder and Massimo will hear you. That’s when Massimo opened the door, pop his head in look me straight in the eye and said 5 minutes. Then he left us again. “See I told you doctor.” “Let me just examine you for now, anything else I should now?” “Yes, I’ve been sick the past 3 days it started with vomiting, then a fever and the constant vomiting. It got less the second day and today iy was only 2 times once when we went running and after the attack.” “Why did you go running if you had a fever and was still sick.” Massimo popped his head in again. “She wanted everything to look as normal as possible doctor.” “For fuck sakes Massimo just come in and you talk to the doctor about me. Why don’t you?” The sarcasm didn’t put him off he came in and stood right next to me. “What have you taken so far for the pain, vomiting and fever?” I looked at Massimo, “You want to answer the question?” He just kept quiet “Tylenol, Motrin and nausea tablets but after I took the pregnancy test, I took pregnancy lollies and normal paracetamol.” “That’s good. Would you mind if I draw some blood to confirm the pregnancy?” “Please do, but the 5 minutes I stopped breathing wouldn’t that make me loose the baby?” “Not necessary, but I would prefer if you come to my office tomorrow for an ultrasound if the blood test is positive.” “That sounds reasonable” Massimo said. “I’ll be there doctor and in the mean time what can I take.” “If you have pain which I’m sure you’ll have because of the lack of oxygen, you’ll have a splitting headache.” “I already have one.” “I’ll give you a pain injection and you can continue with the paracetamol until we know more” “And when will we have the result doc?” Massimo asked. “I’ll put a rush on it and tomorrow when you come to the office, I’ll have the results.” “What time tomorrow?” “Let’s make it first thing, I can see you both are very anxious and that’s not good for the baby.” “Thank you doctor.” Massimo and I said together. “Now let me give you that injection then you should rest, I take it your very tired as well?” “Yes doctor, it feels like I haven’t slept at all last night.” “I understand your body went through a lot the past few days especially the last few hours.” The doctor gave me the injection then he left. Marco walked him out. Massimo was standing at the foot of the bed.
“Now what Massimo?” I asked very irritated.
