It wasn't easy to see the abandonment in Ric's eyes. I knew the situation was more serious than Lucas tried to convey. I knew my brother well enough to know that look was hopeless, but I couldn't let Andrew see that his sister was between life and death. Over the past few weeks we've been involved in a way I didn't believe possible. Andrew was my friend since childhood. Together with Manu and Ricardo we lived the happiest moments that any child could wish for. And when my brother left for Canada, they were the ones who held back the homesickness I felt.
I had never felt anything for Andrew until weeks ago when he kissed me and told me he loved me. I thought he was an incorrigible womanizer. Since he started his career as a football player, he has only seen him surrounded by women on social media. He always joked with Manu, telling her to get ready, because she would get the news that she would be an aunt

ANDREW'S POVThat was the most painful and happiest day of my life. How to deal with two such conflicting feelings. Seeing Ricardo kissing his sister's belly sent an ominous shiver down my spine. Was it true what was going through my head? When he nodded, I bit my lip trying to hide my smile. It was so wrong to be happy in the face of his pain. But I couldn't hold my eyes like I held my mouth. They denounced all the magic that had arisen in the face of that revelation. I am a father! I felt a strange surge of pleasure as I mentalized those words.Alice was before me and I couldn't stop worshiping her. My child's mother. During the consultation that Ricardo managed to fit us in, the doctor asked for a blood test to confirm. We wait for the result to come out and our joy was confirmed. The doctor assured that everything was going well and that she would accompany her throughout the pregnancy. He prescribed a battery of tests, medications, and vitamins that

RICARDO' POVWhen I got to the hospital, Barone asked me why I hadn't gone home. He said he couldn't rest easy knowing that Manu was in that cold room, alone.—You need to rest, Ricardo. The next few days will be decisive. It's no use you staying here wearing yourself out. She's going to need you, and she needs to be healthy.—I lost hope, Lucas. We know she's not going to get out of this.— I threw myself into the chair and buried my head in my hands, rubbing my hair.—What I do know is that as long as there is life, there is hope. You have to believe it.— He laid a hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me.—I'm afraid to get my hopes up.—I understand you, friend. Go home, eat, rest. Tomorrow you come back stronger to face the challenges ahead. I'm on duty today. Tomorrow, after you arrive, I'll let you know how the night went. Okay?—Fine, but I

ANDREW'S POVIt was another night where I couldn't sleep. Alice got sick every five minutes. It had been three weeks since we discovered the pregnancy. My little one alternated between moments of tranquility and moments of pure anger. Her hormones were driving me crazy. Vomiting, crying, excessive sleep, not to mention she wouldn't let me touch her anymore. I knew it would be complicated, but I didn't imagine it would be this hard. I had been living with her ever since, her frailty manifesting itself every time I said I was going home. She did that cute little pout and clung to my neck asking me not to leave them alone. Alice was sure she was expecting a girl and I believed her. My soccer player was on her way.—Love, are you ready yet?— We're going to be late for the exam,— I warned, glancing at the clock insistently. It would be the first time we would see our little princess on ultrasound.—Stop

RICARDO'S POVI entered the hospital feeling anxiety take over me. I took a deep breath, trying to convince myself that the news Barone had for me wasn't bad. What if he was lying so I could keep control until he got to the hospital?I went up in the elevator thinking that everything would be fine. Upon entering the room, Barone asked me to sit down.― We'll have to change Manuela's medication.― Why? What happened? ― I exalted myself.—There's someone who will explain it to you better.—Damn it, Lucas! Stop being a mystery. What's going on?— I felt a chill run up my spine as the office door opened and Maria walked in. She greeted me and I noticed she had some tests.—Is there a problem with Alice?— No, Richard. Your nephew, or niece, is growing healthy, as we had hoped,— the doctor assured her.— So it's Manu? What happened? Anxiety suffo

ALICE'S POVThe news of the arrival of another baby made me euphoric. By my reckoning, they would be less than a month apart in age. It would be so beautiful to see them grow up together. My brother could not have given me such wonderful news. I arranged with Andrew to take our father―in―law home. I had nasty plans in my head. As the seventh week entered, I was already climbing the walls. The nausea had passed and my mood was at a high level. My hormones were boiling over. I would look at Andrew and I would get all wet. He smelled like sex and it drove me crazy.When Matias entered the house, I ordered Andrew to take me to a motel. He nearly choked with shock on his own saliva.—Do you want to go to a motel now?—Andrew, I'm about to explode if I don't have at least ten orgasms today. And I don't want to have to keep holding back. I need to vent this joy that is inside me, you know?― Yes ma'am! I

RICARDO'S POVTwo months have passed since I got the news that Manu was pregnant. Every day it was harder to be so close to her without hearing her voice. Every day I talked to my son. He explained to him everything that was happening, how he was graduating and how everyone already loved him. One day I told how his mother and I spent the day playing when we were children. The moments when I was in that ICU were the most important of my day. Manu's belly was already showing and I spent hours admiring and smoothing her belly. I already felt so much love for that child and I begged God not to take her away from me. I had decided that I would not see the ultrasound without Manuela. Dr. Maria would accompany all the development and would keep me up to date with everything. But the first time I saw my son, I wanted him to be with my wife.Barone was appointed managing director and I returned to seeing my patients. In addition to being

RICARDO'S POVWhen I stopped reading, my cock was hard and throbbing uncontrollably. I looked at Manuela, inert on the bed and I imagined that in another situation, she would be all wet just listening to me. When I remembered that, a snap came to my mind. I got up from my chair and locked the door from the inside. I closed the glass window curtain and turned off the security camera. The hospital was all monitored and there were cameras in the corridors, circulation wards and in the ICUs. Only in private rooms we do not install the equipment. As only I had the password for the system, I had no difficulties in turning off the password for the ICU where we were.—My love, I'm sorry for what I'm going to do. I don't like it at all. But I need to know if you can hear me, and there's only one way to get rid of that doubt.I took a deep breath and lowered the sheet that covered her. I slipped my hand under her nightgown and

RICARDO'S POVOne 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'S POVI couldn't put my happiness into words when I heard my little prince cry. Tall and strong, showing that he came to transform our lives. I was 35 weeks and still had some time to go before her birth, but the proximity of Alice's delivery had shaken me a lot.Ricardo and I had decided to stay at the mansion for a while, especially after the babies were born, so that their father could enjoy the first few months of his grandchildren's lives. He gave off pheromones whenever he entered the room and I was insatiable. I think the daily sex, plus the anticipation of Alice's delivery, caused me to have strong contractions the day before the babies were born. Ricardo was very worried and called Dr. Maria, who advised me to do absolute rest.—We should have taken it more slowly, love. How are you feeling? he asked all worried.—Now the pain is gone, but I'm nervous. Will he be okay? I asked in anguish
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 32
RICARDO'S POVI didn't want to tell Manu that her brother was missing, but she had created conspiracy theories in her head, and with good reason. I was lying to her. So I had to tell the truth. His body shrank when he said his brother was missing. I hugged her tightly and told her everything would be fine, but the truth is that the lack of news made me more and more distressed. Anything I thought to say was gone when Manu began to cry softly, clinging to my body. How it pained me to see her so fragile. I ran my hands through her hair and asked her not to be so nervous. Our son needed her to be strong. Then the cell phone rang and I picked it up, praying it wasn't the worst.—Speak up, Lucas!—We found him. He's in a hospital far from the Center. They found him in a bush and took him to this hospital. He was shot in the chest and underwent surgery. I'm already finding out about the case and I

MANUELA'S POVWhen 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

ALICE'S POV—The last time I spoke to Andrew, he was at the hotel. I believe it should arrive in a few hours. He said he was just going to take a shower and we were going straight to the hospital.—I sent the audio to my brother. Manu was reluctant to see Andrew. I was also in agony, I couldn't stop still. A strange anxiety inside me. Sometimes I thought that Manu and I were connected, like soulmates. Whenever she was nervous I felt bad too. During the coma I had horrible nightmares. Andrew said that I called her all the time, and cried. I gave him a lot of work in the first few months. There were nights when he didn't sleep, thinking I was in some pain. At the beginning of the pregnancy I was terrified of a miscarriage. I remembered what had happened to my brother and I begged the heavens that I wouldn't go through this.At almost six months I was a ball, sexy, but a ball. Every move was
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 29
ALICE'S POVWhen 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

RICARDO'S POV Surfing was the only thing that could restore my strength. After five days of total isolation, I already felt like a different person, although my blood pressure continued to change. On the first day in Saquarema I only thought about Manu. I missed our physical therapy sessions so much, the only time I could touch her and smell her. It was a surreal longing that invaded every pore of my body and burned me inside. The next day I decided to throw myself into the sea, ignoring the cold and the rain. I needed to connect with nature to feel alive again. And that's what made me understand that I couldn't change fate. Manu might never remember me and she might never love me again, but I had to move on for my son. There was nothing I could do but be close to them, even as a friend. Maybe I would never love anyone again and go back to that life of superficial relationships. Maybe I had to settle for seeing my wife with an

MANUELA'S POVI 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
A Christmas Miracle Chapter 25
RICARDO'S POVI entered Manu's room when the physical therapist was finishing the consultation. Barone had warned me that she would do an initial assessment to determine what treatment would be like. Manu looked at me curiously and this time I didn't feel fear in her eyes. I think he was starting to see me as his doctor. She had asked Barone to let her know that I would take care of her rehabilitation. The doctor introduced herself. She was a tall woman with long, straight black hair. Her eyes were slanted and I suspected she was of Japanese descent.— How are you, Dr. Ricardo? She squeezed my hand tightly.― Hello, Midian. It's a great pleasure to meet you.—Barone's talked a lot about you.— We continued to shake hands.—I hope well.— I let go of my hand and crossed my arms over my chest, smiling.― For sure. He told me he's the best physical therapist he knows. As we are

MANUELAMy 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
