1 week later....

Last meeting then my place is going to be packed with family for Christmas week. I think I despise the holidays. Especially now that Odina is pregnant. Not only pregnant but hates me. They're going to give her so many gifts even if we don't know the fucking gender yet. And congratulate us and do the absolute most.

She ain't really talking. She seems off, so I won't speak because I don't have time for that right now.

"Ow...." I hear Odina breathe under her breath.

I look over at her and she's holding her stomach. Contractions? Let me just finish this topic. I keep talking then fee her hand place on my arm gripping tightly.

I look over and her mouth is open and her eyes are shut. Pregnancy three months in? That's not possible...I think?

"What's wrong?" I whisper and her nails dig into my skin.

"I don't know." She breathes.

"Luca..." she cries.

"Everyone get out." I push and they stare at me for a second before leaving.

"Contractions?" I ask placing my hand on her stomach and she shakes her head as tears fall.

Blood?

What....

"What's happening..." she cries looking down.

"Look at me. Focus on my voice it's okay." I whisper and she grips my arm tighter.

"Da Vinci get a fucking nurse to her room." She's not going to a hospital like this and I have no idea what to do.

"Did your eat something or have something wrong?" I ask and she shakes her head.

That's too much blood..:

"Do something!" She yells.

"I don't know what to do is the problem!" I state.

Da Vinci enters the room and his eyes widen a little.

"I already called a nurse..like five minutes..what's wrong?" He comes and stands behind me.

"Why the fuck is she losing this much blood?!" I yell at him.

He just stares.

No.

I look over at her and realize she's having a miscarriage..

2 days later...

Luca just stares at me as if I'm some puppy.

"I'm fine." I assure.

"Having a miscarriage near your second trimester isn't fine." He pushes.

I just stay quiet. I'm still pissed at him. Just because he's being caring right now won't excuse him for any hurt he's caused me.

I still can't believe I lost it...

It hurts but I'm glad it happened before I started showing. I'm tired and feel drained. I've been getting forced down so many fluids. Both good and disgusting.

"The nurse wants to talk to you about something but I told her to wait." He states.

"What is it about?"

"She didn't want to tell me."

"Why?" I ask.

"I don't know. Said you should know first."

"Okay can she just come and let me know then?" I ask. He just nods and stands up going to get the kind of old women.

She has short black hair that's starting to gray at some strands. She has a warm smile and her voice is soothing.

"Do you feel better?" She asks first thing and I shrug.

"Just tired but I'm fine." I lie. I feel horrible. And I don't want people knowing I lost a kid. Everyone has already waited and waited for me to have a child. Now that I had one after so many tried it's just gone. Even if sex is good it is so much tiring.

"Good news or bad news?" She asks with a warm smile.

"Bad news." I groan and she nods.

"You said you have irregular periods. And when they come you get so much pain. " she starts and I nod.

"And you have a good amount of intercourse with him but it was always with his king a child?" She asks and I just nod again.

"Because your periods aren't being regular. You aren't ovulating."

"So?..." I'm lost.

"You're not fertile enough to have kids. And if you do I think there's like some evil spirit I guess that's just going to keep making you have miscarriages. I haven't seen into it but maybe it's how your structured inside or maybe even genetics..."

My mom.

She was never able to have more kids—

"There's always a chance but it could take so long...we could put you in treatments yes but it'll still take awhile before you even overcome the second trimester." She says and I close my eyes as my eyes just water.

"The good news is...you're still young. And the man seems to be loving. He shows a different way of showing it but he was yelling at us to fix you which is something."

I just laugh at imagining Luca yelling some idiotic things. Tears just fall knowing I need kids. With him. And it's always known to have them within the first year of marriage just in case anything would ever too happen.

He is not loving.

"Is there anyway I can get pregnant in less then five months?" I just need to have something by my birthday.

"We can start a first cycle of treatment. It'll take a couple weeks but it's only if you'll want to start putting yourself into a lot of nurse and doctor time." She laughs.

"My mother always had miscarriages and they were never able to have another kid. It was almost impossible and I just don't want that happening to me." I whisper as tears fall down my face.

What is Luca is going to do?

If there are no kids there is basically no alliance.

"Don't stress yourself right now. You're only eighteen you're still so young."

I know that. But I don't have time. This is not how tradition goes. These Italians are insane.

"Just rest and drink a lot of fluids and healthy foods. You can just take time to think about everything." She says and I just nod.

"You're a beautiful girl. Everything always plays out well in the end. It just takes a long time." She gives me some advice before leaving so I'm left there overthinking and crying about how pissed everyone probably will be.
