|| VALENTINA's POV ||
" Your baby is growing so well, Valentina. Congratulations!", Luka spoke with a smile, looking at the monitor as he discussed with the female doctor. All the while, Lorenzo held my hands. Although he said nothing, his eyes shone brightly when our baby's picture showed up.
I let out a startled cry, tears pricked from the corner of my eyes. It was hard to describe how I felt at that moment. It felt too surreal to believe that a life was growing in my stomach. Sniffing my nose repeatedly, I saw his eyes getting moistened as well. I didn't know what he thought of this baby but all I hoped was that he would be a good father.
Luka joked around, passing us the ultrasonography reports,
" Stop showing your love, lovebirds."
Lorenzo chuckled, kissing the back of my hand,
" Jealous? I thought..that hot one night stand.."
" LORENZO KING!", Luka growled at him madly. Something happened probably which these two friends hid from me. Lorenzo laughed hard and stopped bothering Luka who glared at him harshly before going to the other side.
The female doctor took notes of my condition and wrote it down. Before we took our leave, she spoke clearing her throat awkwardly,
" Just a reminder, Miss Avery. You two can have sex now. The fetus is almost four months old. It is stable and the risky stage is gone now."
I blushed hard upon her reminder but Lorenzo seemed too happy as he winked at me. Going out of the hospital, he led me inside the car and spoke after sitting next to me,
" We have an event tomorrow. Let's go get a dress for you."
I gave him a puzzled look, wondering what happened all of a sudden,
" What event? Why don't I know anything?"
He let out a shrug, pulling me closer as he rubbed circles on my mini baby bump,
" Because it's not important, darling. Leonardo is celebrating his marriage anniversary with Jenny. He invited all of us."
I frowned after hearing him. Leonardo never bothered us. I didn't know why he was calling us to attend but one thing, I decided in my mind. I would definitely find out something about Lily tomorrow no matter what happens.
Settling in my mind, I stayed in Lorenzo's arms as the driver sped off to the direction of the store.
