Amore mio, I heard you stir. Is everything alright? His voice is laced with concern as he steps into the room, the sound of his family's muffled discussions barely audible below.
Yeah just morning sickness again
Morning sickness? That's been going on for quite some time now. Have you seen a doctor? Rafael's brows furrow in worry as he approaches Stranger, placing a gentle hand on their back.
Non lo so, amore. Rafael's voice is firm and demanding as he looks into Stranger's eyes. You need to take care of yourself and our baby.
No, you're not fine. You're carrying our child, and I won't allow you to suffer in silence.
okay I’ll go get checked out I promise.
That's my good amore. I'll make sure you get the best care. Rafael's expression softens as he leans in and kisses Stranger's forehead.
she smiles at him I love you
And I love you more, my sweet tesoro. Rafael wraps his arms around Stranger, holding them close. We'll get through this together, no matter what.
she nuzzles into his chest
Rafael holds Stranger tighter, burying his face in their hair. His heart swells with love and protectiveness, knowing that they mean everything to him. We'll face whatever comes our way, amore mio. I'll always be here for you.
so ur family really likes me huh?
Absolutely, tesoro. My family loves you just as much as I do. They've come to accept you as one of their own.
oh that makes me happy to hear
And it should, because you are a precious gem. You bring light into our lives, amore mio.
Of course, tesoro. I will introduce you to my family. They've been asking to meet you.
well why didn’t u say anything?
I wanted to wait for the right moment, amore. I wanted to make sure you were ready. But now, I think it's time for you to meet them.
How about we invite them over for dinner tomorrow night? We can have a nice meal together and get to know each other better. What do you think, tesoro?
Perfecto. I will give them a call and inform them of the arrangements. Tomorrow night will be a special evening, amore mio.
the next day she puts on a dress and fixes her hair waiting for his family to arrive
Amore, there's something I need to tell you before my family arrives. Rafael takes a deep breath, his eyes filled with intensity.
