RICARDO'S POV One 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

MANUELA My head was too confused to process all the information Alice was pouring over me. I couldn't believe she was there, in front of me, with a four―month pregnant belly. Not to mention the scare I got when I found out I was also pregnant. It was all so distressing. How could I be pregnant with a man I didn't remember?When I opened my eyes and saw myself on top of that bed, despair took over me. What was happening? I didn't know how I got there or why. But the worst thing was trying to move and not being able to move a muscle. I tried to scream, but my voice wouldn't come out. I was paralyzed. Was she dead?I had certainly died and this was a kind of treatment place for disembodied spirits. I always tried to imagine what it would be like after I died. I wondered if there was life after death, or did we just close our eyes and that was it? If I was really dead that was the answer. I tried to move my neck and felt a sharp pain in my head. I wasn

MANUELA'S POV I was relieved when Dr. Midiane said that everything was perfect with my vocal cords and that there was no physical impediment for me to speak again. Lucas was the one who took her to the bedroom and introduced me. I noticed looks between the two. All that early relationship seduction was something very sweet. It was evident in his eyes that he was in love with her. I'd only seen that glowing look when he was next to Dani. She was sorely missed, but it was time for my friend to rebuild his life and I was happy for him.I was surprised by the twist in my abdomen when Dr. Ricardo entered the room. I was sure it wasn't my son moving because I already recognized that little vibrator moving in my belly. What I was feeling was different, something I couldn't explain, but it felt really good. A pleasant feeling of anxiety. He had left the previous afternoon in such an untimely fashion that I thought he would never come bac

ALICE'S POV When I told Andrew that his sister had regained her memory, he freaked out. She started dancing and twirling around the room and then ran to tell her father the news. I felt a weight lift off my shoulders, because since Manu woke up, Andrew lived in the corners, head down, feeling rejected. An absolute state of neediness that made me very upset. But the hardest part was seeing him cry like a child on his first visit to Manu. He thought she would never recover.― Fortunately. Now I'll be able to travel with peace of mind knowing that she will recover.— He thrilled, throwing himself on the bed and kissing my belly.I was almost six months old and I felt my back hurt every other day. Not to mention leg cramps. I was huge and I felt wonderful. I thought my belly was beautiful and showed it off in pictures all the time. It was such a nice step. I never thought I would love being pregnant.When we found

MANUELA'S POV When I woke up, he was there, beside me, in that cramped hospital bed. I imagined he would wake up all sore, I was, but I was afraid to move and miss that beautiful scene. Her breathing was calm and her eyes looked so peaceful, very different from the night before. During our makeout I saw the look of desire with which Ric watched me, like an animal in heat, about to take me with his cock. And how I wished he'd thrust himself into me willingly, but he was cautious and only gave me pleasure. I would try to compensate him very well in the future, because I knew how much he had been controlling himself all those days.I watched his morning erection, eager to touch him. The sensations of his hand and mouth touching my body were still ingrained in my skin. He took a stronger breath and woke up. He looked at me and kissed me.― Good morning, princess! How are you feeling?― Very good.—I'm glad
