CHAPTER 44
–Reception–
Sitting at the table having laughs with Josie and Nessa, Emiliano gets up and walks over to the stage, clearing his throat at the microphone.
“May I have everyone’s attention please.” Everyone got quiet. “Son, I want to tell you how proud I am of the man you have become. You remind me a lot of myself the day I found your mother. Isadora, you have changed my son for the better and for that, there is not enough thanks in the world. You brought light back into his eyes and his mother’s and mine. I will never be able to thank you enough. I love you both and welcome to the family darling.”He made his way over to us and kissed my cheek, then hugging Rafael. Gabriella took the stage next.
“I love you both so much! I knew she was the one for you Rafael, the monment you brought her home. I am proud to call you my daughter Isadora, and I hope you feel comfortable calling us mom and dad.” She wiped a tear from her cheek.
“I already do mama!” I shouted and she laughed. She got off the stage and made her way to us. “Look what you made me do! I saidl wouldn’t cry and now look at me, a weeping mess.” I giggled and hugged her. All Rafael’s brothers took the stage.
“I just wanted to say, I love you brother and welcome to the family Isa. I hope you think of us as your brothers, because we already saw you as our sister.” Alfie smiled.
“A hot sister.” Ish added. Gabriella stormed the stage and hit him in the back of the head. One “Do not make me shoot you Ishmael lago Montez!” She glared at him.
“Ow! I was joking! Just trying to lighten the mood from all this crying.” He whimpered and rubbed the back of his head. Javi took the mic next.
“Isa, I want to tell you how sorry I am for how I treated you before. I feel blessed to call you my sister and I vow to be the best brother you could ever ask for. Rafael, we may have our differences, but ai love you and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Congratulations you guys!” He took a step back and I tried to hold back my tears. Rico stepped up.
“I love you both and hope that your marriage lasts forever. I’m proud to call you my sister Isa. Welcome to the family!” The tears were getting harder and harder to hd back. To everyone’s surprise, Mirella tugs on Rico’s shirt and points to the microphone. He hands it to her and she takes a deep breath.
“I love you Santi, you finally have your fairy queen and Isa, thank you for making my big brother happy. 1 love you.” The dam finally broke and the tears ran down my face.
“I love you too princess!” I shouted. Josie took the mic next and I could already tell she was about to cry.
“Isa, you’re my best friend and I love you so much .. Congratulations!” She managed to get that out before breaking down and crying, Cass took the mic from her.
Suddenly Rafael got up and walked to the stage. Everyone cleared the stage as he took the mic and cleared his throat.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
“Baby, I am so happy I found you. When you agreed to be mine, I felt my world come back to life. You tame the beast inside me and for that, I will be forever grateful. I cant imagine a world without you or my little butterfly in it. I will love, cherish and protect you both until my last breath. I love you kitten, always and forever.” He put the mic back on the stand as I waddled my way to the stage. I kissed him and took the mic.
“I had nothing growing up. No parents, no friends, and no one to love .. but now I have all of that and.” I felt a rush of liquid burst and run down my legs. I stop and stared at Rafael.
“Baby? What’s wrong?”
“My water just broke!” I shouted. While everyone was calmly getting things together to take me to the hospital, Rafael was panicking. He was breathing heavy and fast. He looked like he was about to pass out. I felt a contraction hit me and screamed.
“Ahhhhh! Fuck that hurts!” Rafael snapped out of it and rushed to my side, holding my hand until the contraction subsided.
“Ow! Jesus Isa, I think you broke my hand!” He shouted. I rolled my eyes.
–At The Hospital–
Lying on a bed with a very panicked Rafael by my side, a team of nurses walked in. One came to me and lifted my hospital gown.
“You’re almost fully dilated Isadora.”
“Will my baby be okay? She wasn’t due for another few weeks.” I felt myself begin to panic.
“Premature births are no uncommon. As long as the baby is not in breach, which doesn’t seem to be the case, you and the baby are fine.” She smiled.
“Okay Isadora, you are fully dilated and need to start pushing. Take a deep breath and push as hard as you can.” I listen and took a deep breath, then pushed. I grunt as pain racked my body. He wants six kids !? I hope he plans on having a few of those himself cause holy fuck this hurts!
“You’re doing great kitten.” Rafael said kissing my head.
“One more push Isadora! Push!” I take another deep breath and scream as I pushed as hard as I could. Then I hear it. The most beautiful sound in the world. My daughter Aurelia, crying. I broke down in tears.
“Would you like to cut the cord Rafael?” He wiped tears from his face and nodded.
Rafael’s P0V
She’s here. My butterfly is here! She’s absolutely beautiful and I’m already putty in her tiny hands. As they took her to clean her off, I turned to Isa and kissed her.
“I’m proud of you baby. She’s beautiful.” I whispered. When they finally had her cleaned and dressed, they gave her a to Isa who cried the moment she was in her arms.
“She’s beautiful Rafael”
She’s perfect.
She’s my everything.
Daddy’s little butterfly.
