Chapter 15
ANDREW'S POV
That was the most painful and happiest day of my life. How to deal with two such conflicting feelings. Seeing Ricardo kissing his sister's belly sent an ominous shiver down my spine. Was it true what was going through my head? When he nodded, I bit my lip trying to hide my smile. It was so wrong to be happy in the face of his pain. But I couldn't hold my eyes like I held my mouth. They denounced all the magic that had arisen in the face of that revelation. I am a father! I felt a strange surge of pleasure as I mentalized those words.
Alice was before me and I couldn't stop worshiping her. My child's mother. During the consultation that Ricardo managed to fit us in, the doctor asked for a blood test to confirm. We wait for the result to come out and our joy was confirmed. The doctor assured that everything was going well and that she would accompany her throughout the pregnancy. He prescribed a battery of tests, medications, and vitamins that

RICARDO' POVWhen I got to the hospital, Barone asked me why I hadn't gone home. He said he couldn't rest easy knowing that Manu was in that cold room, alone.—You need to rest, Ricardo. The next few days will be decisive. It's no use you staying here wearing yourself out. She's going to need you, and she needs to be healthy.—I lost hope, Lucas. We know she's not going to get out of this.— I threw myself into the chair and buried my head in my hands, rubbing my hair.—What I do know is that as long as there is life, there is hope. You have to believe it.— He laid a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.—I'm afraid to get my hopes up.—I understand you, friend. Go home, eat, rest. Tomorrow you come back stronger to face the challenges ahead. I'm on duty today. Tomorrow, after you arrive, I'll let you know how the night went. Okay?—Fine, but I
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 17
ANDREW'S POVIt was another night where I couldn't sleep. Alice got sick every five minutes. It had been three weeks since we discovered the pregnancy. My little one alternated between moments of tranquility and moments of pure anger. Her hormones were driving me crazy. Vomiting, crying, excessive sleep, not to mention she wouldn't let me touch her anymore. I knew it would be complicated, but I didn't imagine it would be this hard. I had been living with her ever since, her frailty manifesting itself every time I said I was going home. She did that cute little pout and clung to my neck asking me not to leave them alone. Alice was sure she was expecting a girl and I believed her. My soccer player was on her way.—Love, are you ready yet?— We're going to be late for the exam,— I warned, glancing at the clock insistently. It would be the first time we would see our little princess on ultrasound.—Stop

RICARDO'S POVI entered the hospital feeling anxiety take over me. I took a deep breath, trying to convince myself that the news Barone had for me wasn't bad. What if he was lying so I could keep control until he got to the hospital?I went up in the elevator thinking that everything would be fine. Upon entering the room, Barone asked me to sit down.― We'll have to change Manuela's medication.― Why? What happened? ― I exalted myself.—There's someone who will explain it to you better.—Damn it, Lucas! Stop being a mystery. What's going on?— I felt a chill run up my spine as the office door opened and Maria walked in. She greeted me and I noticed she had some tests.—Is there a problem with Alice?— No, Richard. Your nephew, or niece, is growing healthy, as we had hoped,— the doctor assured her.— So it's Manu? What happened? Anxiety suffo
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 19
ALICE'S POVThe news of the arrival of another baby made me euphoric. By my reckoning, they would be less than a month apart in age. It would be so beautiful to see them grow up together. My brother could not have given me such wonderful news. I arranged with Andrew to take our father―in―law home. I had nasty plans in my head. As the seventh week entered, I was already climbing the walls. The nausea had passed and my mood was at a high level. My hormones were boiling over. I would look at Andrew and I would get all wet. He smelled like sex and it drove me crazy.When Matias entered the house, I ordered Andrew to take me to a motel. He nearly choked with shock on his own saliva.—Do you want to go to a motel now?—Andrew, I'm about to explode if I don't have at least ten orgasms today. And I don't want to have to keep holding back. I need to vent this joy that is inside me, you know?― Yes ma'am! I
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 20
RICARDO'S POVTwo months have passed since I got the news that Manu was pregnant. Every day it was harder to be so close to her without hearing her voice. Every day I talked to my son. He explained to him everything that was happening, how he was graduating and how everyone already loved him. One day I told how his mother and I spent the day playing when we were children. The moments when I was in that ICU were the most important of my day. Manu's belly was already showing and I spent hours admiring and smoothing her belly. I already felt so much love for that child and I begged God not to take her away from me. I had decided that I would not see the ultrasound without Manuela. Dr. Maria would accompany all the development and would keep me up to date with everything. But the first time I saw my son, I wanted him to be with my wife.Barone was appointed managing director and I returned to seeing my patients. In addition to being
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 21
RICARDO'S POVWhen I stopped reading, my cock was hard and throbbing uncontrollably. I looked at Manuela, inert on the bed and I imagined that in another situation, she would be all wet just listening to me. When I remembered that, a snap came to my mind. I got up from my chair and locked the door from the inside. I closed the glass window curtain and turned off the security camera. The hospital was all monitored and there were cameras in the corridors, circulation wards and in the ICUs. Only in private rooms we do not install the equipment. As only I had the password for the system, I had no difficulties in turning off the password for the ICU where we were.—My love, I'm sorry for what I'm going to do. I don't like it at all. But I need to know if you can hear me, and there's only one way to get rid of that doubt.I took a deep breath and lowered the sheet that covered her. I slipped my hand under her nightgown and

RICARDO'S POVOne of the things that calmed me down was listening to classical music. I turned on the app on my phone and lay on the couch, trying to relax. But I rolled my eyes, feeling my peace slip away again, when I heard someone knock on the door. Wouldn't Jade leave me alone? Luckily it was Barone.― I am going. Are you sure you don't want me to cover today's shift?—No, Lucas! Go rest. You have been a great friend. Thanks for everything.— I squeezed his hand and pulled him into a hug. I don't know what I would do without your support.—You look tired,— he commented.—Jade just got out of here.― Your ex? Wasn't she in Canada?― So it is. He came back and felt sick. Came to be served right here. Looks like it was something he ate.― That's weird. Let me see her chart? he asked and I sat at my desk to get the file. I opened my laptop and looked at the li
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 23
RICARDOS’S POVWe did all the necessary tests, the diagnosis was a memory loss caused by psychological trauma and the long time in a coma. Barone assured that there was no medical condition causing the amnesia, and that speech and body movements would return with rehabilitation. I tried to maintain my confidence, but Manu's gaze made me sick. Where was that girl madly in love with me? What if she didn't regain her memory?My mind was a jumble of feelings. An immense joy to see her awake, fear that she would never remember me, and a twinge of jealousy at the way she looked at Barone. I was trying not to care about that, but Manu was attentive to all the doctor's gestures during the exam. It wasn't a simple friend's look, but one of admiration, like when she saw me working. I must have been imagining things. I tried to focus on Barone's words as we sat in his office, but my head was exploding.—Don't be anxious.
