ITALY, JUNE 1989
(I'll be putting in the Italian parts. I'll be putting the Italian translation in parentheses)
7 year old Young Carina is playing at her best friends, Valentina's house. Her and Valentina have been friends since Kindergarten. Both girls are playing outside as Valentina's older brother, Antonio is playing with his best friend, Luca. They're all having a fun time playing in the grass in the sun or on the trampoline. That is until Antonio and Valentina's mom, Bianca comes outside.
"Piccola, piccolo, è ora di entrare dall'esterno (Baby, baby, it's time to step in from the outside )" Bianca had said.
"Okay mamma (Okay mom)" Antonio and Valentina stay in unison and go inside. Antonio and turns around.
"Ciao, Luca (Bye Luca)" Antonio says.
"Ciao, Antonio (Bye Antonio)" Luca replies walking off to meet his mom, Maria outside.
Carina walks inside too.
"Carina, ha chiamato tuo padre. Tua madre è entrata in travaglio. Ti porto in ospedale (Carina, your dad called. Your mother went into labor. I'll take you to the hospital)" Bianca tells the 7 year old brunette.
"Oh okay. Mamma sta bene? (Oh okay. Is mom okay?)"
"Sì, sta bene (Yes, she's okay)"
*******************
Bianca drives to the hospital so Carina can see her mom, dad and baby brother as Antonio and Valentina are staying home with their dad, Giovanni.
"Grazie, Bianca (Thank you, Bianca)" The little 7 year old says.
"Nessun problema, Carina (No problem, Carina)"
Bianca drives off as Carina walks into the hospital to see her mom and dad in the labor & delivery room.
"Okay, stai andando bene, Lucia. spingere! spingere! spingere! (Okay, you're doing well, Lucia. push! push! push!)" The small Italian's moms OB had said. The OB's name is Giulia Carbone, she helped Lucia and Vincenzo have Carina too. Both of Carina's parents are doctors.
There's a loud scream until small, blissful cries fill the room.
"Lui è qui Lucia, Andrea è qui (He's here Lucia, Andrew is here)" Dr Carbone says.
Carina just stands by the doorway. Yet again, her father is nowhere to be found. He's probably out getting drunk or high somewhere.
ITALY, DECEMBER 1989
It's been about 6 months since Andrew was born. Christmas is just right around the corner. Carina is now 8 years old. She's in Andrew's nursery finishing up her homework when her father comes bursting through the door drunken and high.
"Sei andato a letto con un'altra donna! (You slept with another woman!)" Carina could hear her mother say.
"No, non l'ho fatto! (No, I did not!)" Her father yelled drunkenly.
"Sì, l'hai fatto! potrei tu! Non ho fatto altro che amarti! Mi hai messo incinta di Andrea! (Yes, you did! How could you! I have done nothing but love you! You got me pregnant with Andrea!)" Lucia yelled.
"Beh, in pratica mi hai costretto! Non volevo metterti incinta, quel dannato preservativo si è rotto (Well, you basically made me! I didn't mean to get you pregnant, the damn condom broke)" Vincenzo shouted.
