That night full of passion 3
"Why
had that to be as complicated?" was the first thing that Martha
thought that day, when she arrived at home after being with Lionel in
the back room of the Talon.
She went to her room, she got
undressed, and she put herself in front the mirror. She caressed her
nearly three-month-pregnance tummy, and she thought on how much she
wished to have that little life in her arms. Then she touched that
parts of her body where Lionel had kissed her some hours before, and
she could still feeling his lips on her skin...
M: I love you so
much, Lionel... but I can't ask you to renounce your happiness for
this baby... - she whispered to hiself.
Suddenly, somebody opened
the door...
C: Mum! Sorry I... - he fixed his look on her
tummy.
M: Clark! - she sceared - What are you doing here? - she
quickly took something to cover herself.
C: I haven't classes this
afternoon, I listened some noise here, and I supposed that you was at
the Talon... - he couldn't move his look away from her tummy - But,
you weren't.
M: Right. I came back early, today... I didn't feel
really well.
C: Of course you not... - he woke up of his trance
moment - Mum... you're pregnant!
M: I'm not! - lied really bad,
Martha.
C: Come'on mum, of course you are...
Martha sat down on
the bed and asked Clark to do the same.
M: I'm nearly three months
pregnant, son... - she smiled.
C: That's great, mum! Why didn't
you tell me before? I don't trust Lionel too much, but... this is
different, I will have a brother!! - then he relised that his mother
wasn't as happy - What's wrong, mum? Isn't Lionel the father? Did
anybody do anything to you?
M: Oh no! No son! ... don't worry
about that... Lionel is the father.
C: So... what's the
problem?
M: He don't want any baby now.
C: Does he say this to
you? - asked being upset.
M: No... not exactly... well, he didn't
know anything about this, yet... and he will not!
C: Why, mum? I'm
sure he will be very happy of having a baby with you...
M: I'm not
sure of this... he told me that he want to live his life now that his
son is as old to take care of hiself.
C: But he said you without
knowing anything...
M: It doesn't matter... I don't want to tell
him, anyway.
C: And how will you keep this away from him, mum?
Your tummy will be bigger soon, and he will come back in some
weeks...
M: No... he's already here...
C: Have you seen him?
M:
Yes, he came to Talon to visit me, he said he missed me a lot - she
smiled.
C: You see, mum, do you see how do you smile when you
speak about him? You have to tell this to Lionel. And if he don't
want the baby, it doesn't matter, I will help you...
M: This is
not the problem, Clark. I know that Lionel would take care about me
and the baby. But he don't want a family, now, he want to have fun,
and I don't want him to renounce to this from us.
Clark hugged his
mother and then he put his hand on her tummy.
C: Do you know how
much lucky have you been, little boy? - he said to the tummy - You
will be the son of the best woman of this world...
Martha moved
and started to cry sweetly, then she kissed his son cheek before he
went out of the room.
That same day, at the afternoon, Clark
went to see Lionel.
L: Hi Clark, how are you?
C: I'm fine
Lionel, thank you. How was your travel?
L: It was good, but I
missed you this too much.
C: Did you miss my mother? - this
question surprised Lionel, but he answer it honestly.
L: I did.
Too much. I missed her every day, every night, every moment... I
couldn't take her away of my mind...
C: Can I ask you
something?
L: Sure.
C: What do you want from her? What do you
expect from her?
L: I love your mother, Clark. I would never hurt
her, if it's this what you want to know.
C: No. I want you to
answer the question... is she just one woman more in
your-life-womel-list?
L: No! She isn't! She is THE woman of my
life! I want to spent the rest of my life with her... but she doesn't
seem to want the same as me.
C: Would you still wishing the same
if being with her meant stay here, not more travels, not more work,
not more adventures...?
L: Sure! I would still wishing the same
even if that meant to lose all what I have!
C: In this way, meaybe
you should talk with her... how about a dinner, in the farm, today?
You both will be alone... she will be waiting you at eight o'clock...
don't be late!!
Clark asked her mother to preppear a delicious
dinner for the two of them that night. He also ask her to dress
really pretty... he said her that they would celebrate her
pregnance.
But at eight o'clock, somebody knocked the door, and
then Clark said her that he should go out.
Martha, not
understanding anything, went to open the door. It was Lionel, with a
red tulips bouquet.
M: Lionel! What are you doing here?
L:
Clark...
M: Oh, god! Ok. Come in... now I understand all
this...
L: What?
M: Nothing - she smiled.
L: You look really
pretty...
M: Thanks - she blushed - Are them for me?
L: What?
Oh, yeah, the floweres... of course, they are for the prettiest woman
of the world, and I thought this is you...
She blushed more, and
took the flowers.
M: Take a sit, please, I'm going to take the
dinner from the kitchen.
Clark still there, waiting her.
M:
What does it mean Clark? I will not...!
C: Sure you will! He
deserve to know it, mum. He love you too much. And trust me, he want
this baby as mush than you...
He kissed her and disappeared, then
Martha went to the dinningroom with the dinner.
Before
start eating, Lionel served some vine in the glasses, but Martha said
him that she will not drink vine.
M: Lionel... I have to tell you
something...
L: What is it? Are you ok?
M: I'm fine, I'm better
than ever - she smiled - This is something that I should tell you
before...
L: You're worrying me...
M: Lionel, do you remember
when you said me that you want to live the life now that our sons are
old?
L: I do.
M: How about if they weren't... what would
happened if our sons were childs yet, would you love me anyway? Would
you stay with me?
L: Of course! We would build a family together,
then, and that would be really nice... I can't imagine a better woman
to have a family than you...
He hold her hand.
M: I'm
pregnant.
L: What? - he surprised himself but he was smiling -
You... you're pregnant? We're going to have a baby?!
M: Yeah! We
are! - she was glad to see Lionel so happy.
L: Oh Martha, you're
making me the happiest man of this world.
M: Really?
L: Of
course! Oh my god! I'm being a father again!! I'm being a father with
the woman I love!! Isn't this a dream becoming true?
He stood up
and went with Martha. She still sat down and he hugged and kissed
her.
L: Marry me, Marta! Be my wife to do a family of us!
M:
Are you sure of this, Lionel?
L: Sure, I am! I never wished
nothing more than this! Come on, what do you say, will you be my
wife?
She smiled and kissed him.
M: I will.
Lionel touched
her tummy and said to his future son...
L: Have you listened this,
your parents are getting married! - then he look at Martha. She still
sitting down and he was kneel down - I love you, Martha - he had
tears on his eyes.
M: I love you too - she was crying, crying of
hapiness because all that had finally found its happy ending.
THE END
