CHAPTER 1 Ā°Ā°Ā°
The Dante family is an extended family and they live un-der same roof.
Abuela is the mother of the house, she was blessed with four sons. Bruno which is the first son and his wife Maria Jose with their two sons and one on the way.
Benicio the second son and his wife Florencia, they have two sons as well.
Luciano the third son of Abuela isn’t married yet and the fourth son, Alejandro with his wife Paulina. They have only one kid.
Alejandro and his wife stay alone, they refused to live together with the whole.
An hvge argument broke out in Bruno’s room as he disagreed strongly on his wife Maria Jose’s suspicious.
“Believe me Bruno, Luciano isn’t hanging out with a good gang. I saw a gun in his wardrobe the other day and lately he doesn’t come back home early” Maria Jose explained seriously.
“Enough of the argument Maria Jose. You maybe seeing things, I remember sneaking into Luciano’s room with you to confirm what you saw but there was no gun in his possession. He wasn’t even home that day to take it out if your suspicions are right. Maria I want to believe you but it doesn’t make s-en-se if we base our suspensions on what you’re saying”
“Luciano is my younger brother and the most trustworthy member of the family. He’s only grieving because of his late fiancee nothing more and that’s why he stays out late. Love I would like the idea of you not telling anyone about this, it will only make Mother worry” Bruno requested.
“Why can’t you believe me Bruno? I would never say anything that would ruin Luciano’s image if not the truth so why are you finding it ha-rd to believe your wife?”Maria Jose shouted seriously and her water broke.
“Love let’s not talk about this anymore? I hate the idea of arguing with you over trivial issues like this” Bruno protested but Maria held her stomach as she tried to sit down, drawing Bruno’s attention as she winced silently.
“Love are you okay?” Bruno asked as he went closer to her, helping her sit.
“Bruno, I think the baby is….”Maria Jose pursed b!tt!g herl-ips ha-rd as she felt so much pain.
“Mum!” Bruno shouted holding his wife’s hand.
“Mum! Florencia! Maria nee-ds your help” Bruno shouted helping her up so they would head to the sitting room.
Fred ran into his parent’s room..
Fred is Bruno and Maria’s first child, he’s seven years old and his younger brother Fernand is four years old.
“Mum!” Fred called out as he held his mum’s hand.
“Fred you have to take care of Fernand when your mum and I are not home. You have to look after him” Bruno instructed.
“Maria Jose are you okay?” Abuela asked nervously as they all head out of the sitting room.
“Bruno where’s your car keys?” Benicio asked curiously.
“I have it here with me. Careful love” Bruno said as they opened the car door.
“Leave it to us Bruno. Go get the car started” Florencia cut in sharply and they helped Maria into the car.
“Bruno hurry up, Maria Jose can’t hold up for too long” Abuela said anxiously as Maria screamed in pain.
“Mum let’s go” Bruno said nervously as he started the car engines.
“Maria Jose hold on ti-ght, we’re almost there just a little longer” Florencia comforted as Maria held her hand ti-ghtly.
Running around anxiously as all the Dante family rushed to the hospital with pregnant Maria Jose.
“What are you looking at? Can’t you see she’s in so much pain” Benicio shouted at one of the nurses and swiftly she called for help with a stretcher along side her.
Hours later….
“They’re taking long in there. Do you think everything is alright?” Florencia asked worriedly.
“What are you saying Florencia? You know this isn’t the right time to talk about jinxed words. Maria Jose is fine” Abuela comforted Bruno but he was full of worries that the comforting words didn’t work on him.
The doctor c@mĀ£ out of the delivery room removing his nose mask. He was sweating all over.
“Doctor how’s my wife doing?” Bruno asked curiously as he rushed to the doctor.
“Congratulations Mr Dante, it’s a girl. Both the mother and baby are fine” The doctor said smiling and the baby’s cry was heard.
“Really doctor, thank you so much doctor. Thank you” Bruno said excitedly with his palm over his mouth as he smiled wi-dely.
“Thank you so much doctor” The whole family chorused in excitement.
“You’re welcome. You can all go see her when she get transferred to the ward” The doctor said politely and left.
“Congratulations Bruno” Abuela said smiling as she hvgged him.
“Lucky Maria, she got blessed with a girl this time around. Congratulations Bruno” Florencia said with a wi-de smile as Bruno hvgged his brother Benicio.
“We’ve got a princess in the house, congratulations brother” Benicio shouted excitedly and Bruno couldn’t help it but smile all throu-gh.
“Thank you all so much, we finally have a princess in the house” Bruno smiled.
They all head to the ward to see Maria Jose and the baby.
“Isn’t she so adorable? She looks just like me” Florencia smiled with the baby in her arms and everyone frowned.
“What’s wrong? She looks just like her aunty” She repeated and Abuela carried the baby from her.
“I would love it if she looks like anyone else in this room but not you so don’t say things like that again” Abuela pouted and everyone boost into laughter.
“Benicio why are you laughing as well?” Florencia frowned but Benicio hvgged her from behind.
“Sweetheart don’t take it the wrong way but what mum said is the truth” He tea-sed her and she frowned even more.
“Come on Florencia, with your face like that there’s no way our princess will look like you” Maria Jose said jovially and Florencia smiled wi-dely.
“That’s why I love you so much Maria, you’re always on my side but what will be our princess’s name? She’s the only little girl in the family so her name should be remarkable don’t you think” Florencia suggested with a smile.
“I love the way you think Florencia” Bruno praised.
“I think Mum should do the naming” Maria said and everyone stared at Abuela with the baby on her arms.
“Let’s name her Fernanda, Fernanda suits her perfectly” Abuela smiled.
“Mum not again,do you plan on naming all Bruno’s kids name with the first letter F” Benicio uttered flabberg@sted.
“What’s wrong with that? Bruno or Maria are not complaining so why are you?” Abuela said sarcastically and Maria stared at her husband with a silly smile.
“Mum they’re not complaining because they always ask for your opinion” Florencia whined and Bruno laughed.
“Mum’s choices are always the best so let’s not argue about that” Bruno uttered out bitterly.
MONTHS LATER..
“Bruno I don’t think I can stand this anymore” Maria Jose g@sped out trying to catch her breath at the rooftĀ©p as her mother and Abuela pick a fight on who to look after Fernanda in their be-droom.
“Don’t you think we should at least say something, we shouldn’t let them have their way” Bruno suggested and Maria nodded.
“You’re right” She uttered and they went back to their room.
“Isabel why are you causing a scene here? You should go back to your house because I can take care of my granddaughter” Abuela shouted.
“This isn’t Bruno’s first child so why are you ma-king such a fuss about it? Staying here for few weeks won’t kill so leave me alone with my granddaughter” Isabel Maria Jose’s mum argued.
“Enough the both of you!” Bruno shouted and they all glared at him.
“Bruno stay out of this. I can handle Isabel on my own” Abuela said seriously.
“Mum, mother-in-law have the both of you noticed that Fernanda haven’t been able to fall asleep because of your fuss. Why are you causing a scene in our be-droom when you can actually do that outside as long as you don’t disturb the kids nap so plea-se can the both of you leave our be-droom and go continue your argument outside” Bruno said seriously.
“Bruno’s right, let’s go talk outside” Isabel uttered and they both left the room. Swiftly Maria locked the door.
Fernanda started crying after that…
“What’s going on? With all the noise she didn’t shed a tear and now everywhere’s quiet, she’s crying. Give her to me” Maria Jose said as she sat on the be-d and Bruno placed the baby on her arms gently but she didn’t stĀ©p crying.
“Bruno would you mind opening the door, I think it’s quite stuffy in here” Maria requested trying to feed Fernanda brĀ£@st milk but she kept on crying.
“But your mum and mine are still arguing at the sitting room” Bruno uttered slowly.
“Just open the door” Maria shouted and he shrinked, swiftly he opened the door and just like he said they’re still causing a scene at the sitting room.
“Bruno she stĀ©pped crying” Maria g@sped excitedly and Bruno sighed tiredly.
“She’s add!Ƨted to noise. She sure is going to be trouble if she grows up” Bruno g@sped wiping off the sweat on his forehead with the back of his palm.
