I'm so mad at myself for making these next few chapters suck...
Chapter 22: Possililities
Feliciano had left the day after my little incident. I was forced to stay in the bed for a week after that because I was not ready to walk around yet, and should just relax. I feel fine actually.
Ten weeks had passed by since I found out I was a month pregnant, fourteen weeks total. And after what had happened, I was ready to just let it be over already. Antonio was letting himself get stressed so I didn't. It kills me to see him this way. It reminds me of when I was little and he was always off fighting to protect me.
"Antonio just sit down and relax." I said, watching him trying his best to fold the clothes. Which was usually my job since he lets everything get wrinkled and messy and it doesn't look right at all.
He looked at me and sighed, throwing a shirt down. I had won and he knew it. I was enjoying this "If Lovino wants something he get's it" attitude from him. He sat down and leaned back, closing his eyes with a tired sigh.
"You don't have to do all of this." I said. "I can still work around here." I had been doing a whole bunch of research on this pregnancy stuff, and normally (Since this is a "special case" it could be different) this is the second trimester. Which I had to explain to Antonio because he's clueless.
Thankfully, I was able to sleep all night and wake up without feeling sick. Most of the time. I'm just pissed that I'm missing the tomato planting season back in Rome. No matter how lazy I am that's the one thing I enjoy about my job. But this year they had someone else helping. Same with Antonio, since he decided on his own to take care of me instead of go do that.
I laid my head on Antonio's shoulder and sighed. When he didn't say anything, I checked his face only to find him asleep. When I decided, I was going to as well dammit.
"Lovi wake up~"
I opened one eye and glared at the owner of the voice that woke me. Antonio smiled and pulled me close. Somehow I ended up in bed with his arms around me. I was still wearing my clothes, but the sun was out so I guessed I had slept all night in them.
He cupped my face with one hand, pushing my hair from my eyes. "Good morning. I didn't think you would like sleeping on the couch so I moved us in here when I woke up around midnight."
"I wouldn't have cared, I like sleeping." I mumbled and closed my eyes. "Sleep is niiice."
"Get uuup~" He whined and shook me a little. "I want to talk to mi Lovi, and stare into his beautiful eyes, and hold him closely."
I groaned and turned over onto my back. To Antonio, that must be an invitation to pull the blanket off of me and lift my shirt a little.
"Tell Mama to wake up." He whispered, kissing my stomach lightly. I sighed and waited for him to stop talking before even thinking about moving. "And good morning to you too. You've been in there a while, I don't even know if you can hear me yet, but I like talking to you. You seem very nice, except for making Mama sick all of the time. I don't like that."
"Antonio..."
"Hey, maybe this time next year, Mama will let me take you out to the tomato farms to look at the baby tomato plants being planted. Won't that be fun?"
"Toni..."
"I talk about myself alot with you. I should tell you about your Mama, but you probably know most of this, but I'll tell you anyway. Your Mama is very beautiful, but he's a guy so he denies it alot. He has beautiful eyes, and a perfect smile when he actually smiles. But I'm sure your Mama's smile will be the first thing you see. Because you'll be perfect just like him."
"Come here you idiot!"
"Gotta go. Mama wants me." Antonio sighed and crawled upwards to kiss me. I threw my arms around his neck and let out a soft sigh.
"You're an idiot." I mumbled. "You're an idiot and I love you so much."
He smiled and kissed me again, catching me in his little good morning game. And the things he can do when he just woke up in the morning still amazes me because usually I don't even move for half an hour unless I really have to.
Antonio's lips left mine and he looked at me, flashing a smile brighter than any sunrise.
...
Have I always acted like I'm in a romance novel? Because sometimes I feel like I am in one. A very weird romance novel that involves gays and gay babies. With weird little brothers, and stupid best friends.
Either way I was enjoying my moment.
"Lovi? Have you thought about any names for the baby yet?" Antonio asked, waking me up. "Because I have."
I sat up a little bit and shrugged, I hadn't really put much thought into it. Maybe it had crossed my mind a time or to but I never did think about it. "I want to know what it is first." I said.
"Well, if it's a girl we should name her Christa, or Rosalita. And if it's a boy, Gabriel."
I sat there for a moment. "Are you trying to name our child after tomato types?" I asked, rubbing my eyes and groaning.
"... Maybe."
I pushed him lightly as he chuckled as if it were a joke. I guess it was kind of funny, because everyone would expect that from us, right? I could just imagine the look of horror on Britain's eyebrows when we introduced out child who was in face named after a tomato.
"But I like the name, Daniella for a girl..." I whispered.
"And if it's a boy?"
"It's not."
"You don't know that."
"Call it mother's intuition."
Antonio laughed and pulled me close. "What if is a little boy?"
"Then... Dantè..."
Antonio was silent for a moment, he closed his eyes and sighed, nuzzling against me as the sunlight poured in making everything bright and giving me a headache. I moved a little. "Why are you so clingy this morning?"
He shrugged a little, his arms becoming increasingly and unbearably tight. I squirmed in his arms to break free. Giving up I sighed. "I'm hungry." I mumbled, leaning my head back and giving him my best pout ever.
"Then I shall get you food." Antonio announced and let me go to do as he had said.
My cellphone started ringing and the screen showed that it was Dr. Pinasco. I answered quickly and before he could speak I said. "When do I find out what this thing is?"
"Well-"
Last chance! Put in your votes and ideas for the little baby~
