Chapter 5- Alejandro Ramerio

Eva sat outside a small café a favourite of hers since they had come to Brazil. She was now nearing her due date, her book had been successfully published and was in many shops. She had also successfully avoided any confrontations with Nicolas she felt guilty that he still had no idea and had forbidden her sister and brother in law to tell him. Speaking of which her sister should be here soon. She rested a hand top her swollen stomach as she felt the baby kick, the last few months she hadn't really seen her sister having been busy getting everything ready for the baby when it arrived "Eva," she smiled as she saw her sister come over "Oh Eva, look at you your positively glowing" Carolina gushed hugging her.

"It's wonderful to see you Carol been too long" Eva replied. Carol placed a hand on her sister's belly, and smiled

"Not long to go now" she said "Have you though of any names"

"Yes one of each, " Eva told her as they ordered food and drinks "What about you and Fernando can I expect any nieces or nephews in the future" Carol frowned into her drink.

"We've talked about it recently and we have been trying but haven't had any success yet. Have you told Nicolas?" Carol asked changing topic even though she knew this was a sore one for her sister

"No I haven't, he's back with his wife now it wouldn't be right for me to get in the way" Eva replied quietly.

"I have seen him though he visited with the captain and Natalia a few weeks ago. I don't think things between him and Chantal are going very well at the moment he mentioned them looking into divorce. Maybe you'll get a second chance" Carolina told her.

"It wouldn't be the, ow" Eva gasped mid sentence as she felt a tug in her belly her hand flew too her stomach as she cried out again

"Eva, Eva are you alright" Carol gasped catching her sister before she collapsed.

"Hospital Carol I need a doctor the baby" Eva panted between sharp bursts of pain. Several onlookers watched in curiosity.

"Can one of you be useful find a doctor now" Carol snapped at them.

"Here Mam let me help I'm no doctor but I am a father of two what's her name?"

"Eva, Eva Viluneuveva" Carol said

"As in the author of Alta Mar"

"Yes their one and the same"

"Eva listen to me, my name is Simone you need to stay awake breathe ok breathe with me" the man now Simone said.

...

"Argh" Eva's cry of pain echoed in the delivery room.

"Only four more centimeters miss then you can push" the nurse said.

"What four more centimeters you said said four, five hours ago" Eva half yelled half screamed.

"Breath Eva breath " Carol said cradling her sister.

"Breath I'll curse him dammit, I'll chop him up and throw him of the ship" Eva shouted as another contraction hit her. She swore loudly and lenghty in Spainish as the nurse told again it wasn't time.

"Do you want me to get in touch with him?" Carolina asked.

"No I don't want to see him not now not ever he got me into this mess, if he come's in here he'll wish he was never born, I'll rip him apart" There was a knock on the door and a nurse walked in.

"Mrs Fabregas your husband's here."

"Thank you, Eva I'm going out for a second to see Fernando I'll be right back" Carollina told her as she moved to leave.

"No Carol, don't go please I need you in here with me"

"Nurse let him know that we're ok in here" the nurse nodded and went back out.

A doctor came over to the sisters "Miss may I?" Eva just nodded too tired to yell anymore "Well miss it seems you are ready to push on three" Eva cried out as she pushed hard. "The baby is crowning when you feel the next one push hard" a nurse said

"I'm here Eva I'm not letting you go come on push" through the haze of pain that racked through her entire body she swore she heard Nicolas talking to her "Nicolas" she whispherd this time when she felt the wave of pain she pushed long and hard. The cries of a newborn filled the room "congratulations Miss it's a boy" a nurse told her wrapping the baby up and passing him to the new mother.

"A boy, Carol, where's Nicolas he was here?" she asked her sister.

"Eva, child I do believe you mistook me for a dashing young officer" came the lighthearted voice of her dear Uncle.

" Thank you for being here Uncle, Carol do you want to let Fernando in now I'm not goign to bite anyones head off" Eva asked her sister opened the door to the room and Fernando walked in smiling.

"Looks like I have a nephew then"

"Yes we do and I would like to know his name" Carol said looking at her sister.

"Alejandro Ramerio is what I decided for a boy, Alejandro Ramerio "
