Antonio got to the babies' ward and stood by his daughter's cot with a stressful look. He looked into her eyes, marvelled.

" Wow? You are such a special child– and look just like your mother." He expressed with tears in his eyes.

" Sir", Gina called from the door.

" Gina–what's it?" he queried faintly.

" Everything is done, the doctor said we can take her home now." Gina answered.

" Okay, come for her", he replied and left the ward.

Gina carried the baby carefully and followed him to the car.

" Where is Lizzy?" Antonio asked, his eyes lurking around, in search of her.

" She left to get the baby's room ready for her arrival", Gina replied.

"Alright, let's get going– its getting late" Antonio mumbled as he settled at the  driver's side.

They drove off from the hospital.

                                        ANTONIO'S MANSION

Lizzy and Agnes were busily putting things in place for the baby's arrival.

" Are you sure of what you just told me?", Agnes asked whispering.

" Yes, Aggie– this baby look so different and completely strange ". Lizzy exclaimed with a puzzled look. " I'm sure she's cursed." She low whispered, searching around to make sure no one was around or eavesdropping on them.

" Lizzy? "  Agnes exclaimed, covering Lizzy's mouth with her hand.

" Ah, leave me alone." Lizzy screamed, hitting  her hand off her mouth.

" If boss hears this, I'm sure he's gonna kill you in a sec" Agnes warned.

Just then, they heard his horn outside.

" Oh, God, they're in". Agnes shouted, running around in the room like a mad hen.

" Stop running around like a cock without head and let's get out of here before they come in"

Lizzy shouted and pulled her out of the baby's room.

" Is everything set in there?" ,Agnes queried.

"Such silly head you have over your neck– didn't you see that for yourself before coming out. Hurry and go help Gina bring the things inside dump head". Lizzy exclaimed as she hit  her head in the process.

" Ouch, that hurts " She cried. " What was that for ? Anyway, I'm off" She grumbled and trod off.

She immediately rushed out of the house and Lizzy  left to the kitchen as well to get dinner ready.

" I'll be in my room– let me know when you are done settling her in". Antonio announced and left to his room.

" Wow, Gina, this baby is so– strange ", Agnes exclaimed, surprised which made Gina hit her at the her mouth.

" Gosh, Agnes, do you have to shout on top of your voice for the world to know?". Gina cried while she gazed around to make sure Antonio was out of sight.

" Ouch !!! " she exclaimed with a grumpy look and dashed off to Gisella's room with her things.

" Don't mind that silly girl, she had been acting this way ever since I told her about baby Gisella's strange looks and madam's death. "

Lizzy called from the kitchen.

Gina smiled faintly and followed Agnes with the baby.

HOURS LATER

ANTONIO'S ROOM

Antonio sat on the floor looking miserable and drunk.

" Fiona, why did you leave me, my love –why?" he shouted throwing the bottle of alcohol in his hand on the floor causing it to shatter all over the floor.

" Mr. Antonio,  please–you have to eat something please ".

Lizzy shouted worriedly outside the room.

" What is it Lizzy?– why are you shouting like that?"Gina asked ,moving towards her from Gisella's room.

"Gina, is Mr. Antonio, he won't come out for his  supper– I've been calling him for the past hours now. I know he'll listen to you." Lizzy cried. " Please try and make him come out."

Lizzy cried moving towards  Gina who was approaching her.

" Alright, calm down, I'll try and make him come out."Gina assured.

They both stood at his door knocking.

" Mr. Antonio,  please for the sake of your daughter– come out for your supper. Mrs. Fiona  wouldn't be happy with you if you continue like this, please"

Suddenly, the door slummed open.

" Gisella?, where is she?–I want to see my daughter now", he cried.

" Please have something first, you can see her after that." Gina replied as she help him down to the dinning table.

FEW MINUTES TIME

GISELLA' S ROOM

Fiona's ghost stood by her daughter's bed smiling and playing with her.

" Mummy loves you so much and will always be by your side." Fiona cried.

The door suddenly slam open. Antonio walked in followed by Gina and Lizzy but didn't see Fiona beside Gisella's bed.

" You can leave, I want to be alone with my daughter."Antonio called to Gina and Lizzy.

" Okay, sir", they chorused and left the room.

Antonio moved slowly and stood beside Fiona by Gisella's cot ,crying but couldn't see his wife.

" Gisel baby, mummy and I love you so much and I know where ever she is, she'll always watch after you and protect us".

He uttered in tears, holding Gisella's tinny hands.

Fiona stood by him in tears as she watch her husband and daughter separated from her by death.

" I love you both and I wish I could kiss and hug your pains away but I can't do all that now. But I promise to always be with you."

She uttered faintly and disappeared from the room.
