Evangelina Lawrence
"Is someone throwing up?" I ask before he can say anything. He looks at me confused for a second. I roll my eyes and go over to the bathroom before knocking on it. No one answers but I hear the water running, so I open the door.
"Mrs. Sanchez? Are you okay?" I ask her quietly after she's finished washing out her mouth in the sink. She nods and looks at me.
"Yeah Lina. I'm good. Uh. Will you come with me somewhere?" She asks and I nod immediately. I help her as we walk to the car. Marco looking at his mom worried.
"Um. Mrs. Sanchez please don't take this the wrong way but I'm gonna drive okay?" I say and she smiles nodding. I help her into the passenger side and run back inside. Marco still standing where he was. I grab my wallet from my bag and kiss Marco on the lips before running out.
"Mrs. Sanchez? You sure your okay?" I ask again as I start the car. She smiles and nods again.
"Yes I'm fine and if I'm right Marco and Luke might have a sister." I look at her shocked before a smile comes over my face.
"Really?" I ask happily and she looks at me.
"Yes but I want to be absolutely positive before I say anything so please." She says and I nod unable to keep the smile off my face but not being able to stop myself from feeling sad over my little boy. She places a hand on her still flat tummy. I drive to the clinic and she gets out. I stay waiting in the car feeling sad over my lost baby. 45 minutes later she comes back out and I feel dry tear streaks down my cheeks.
"You okay honey?" Mrs. Sanchez asks quietly.
"Yeah. I'm okay Mrs. Sanchez. So what happened?" I ask not wanting to talk about it. She smiles and looks at me.
"I am. It's to soon to tell the gender of course but I am." She smiles brightly taking the bait.
"Of course. You must be so thrilled." I say and she smiles nodding.
"Um. Lina do you think we can make one more stop before going back?" She asks and I nod.
"Of course. Where to?" I ask and she says baby store. I drive to her closest one and she gets out I lock the car before we walk in. She looks at mostly girl clothes.
"I thought it was to soon to tell the gender?" I say quietly. She nods before placing a hand on her tummy.
"It is. But I have a feeling it's a she." She smiles softly and I nod.
"That makes sense." I say quietly.
"You okay homey? You seem down." She says and I nod.
"Oh yeah. I'm good. I'm really excited for you." I say smiling and she nods before looks at baby hats. She gets a pink one that says Daddy's Princess on it before I take it and pay for it. She sighs as we get in the car.
"You didn't have to do that." She says and I shrug.
"Think of it as a early present from her favorite auntie." I say smiling. She smiles too and I drive us back to her house. She gets out tucking the baby hat in her back pocket. I walk over to Marco's room and knock lightly on the door. He says come in and I open the door before walking in. He looks up before getting up and hugging me.
"What happened?" He asks quickly before walking out to see his mom I'm guessing. I sigh and walk into his room before laying on his bed.
"Really! That's great! I'm so excited! She's gonna be the most protected baby." I hear Marco and realize his mom told him. He walks back in before grabbing me on sitting on his bed with me in his lap.
"What's wrong?" He says quietly. I shake my head my words getting caught in my throat. He doesnt say anything as I cry. Just rubs my back and plays with my hair.
"I'm sorry. I'm happy for your mom. It's just..." I say my voice horse from crying and I feel Marco shake his head.
"I can't even begin to imagine what you're feeling right now so I can't judge you. It's not in my place to do so. Evangelina I'm here for you whenever you need. Day or Night. I'm here for you." He says and I wrap my arms around his waist.
"Thank you Marco." I say and we just sit there as my crying dies away. Soon enough we hear to other boys return and Marco stands setting me on the bed before he closes the down.
"My mom said she was gonna tell dad at dinner." He says as he comes back over and pulls me into his lap. I nod and run my hands over his shirt.
"Lina what was that kiss about?" He asks and I look up at him.
"I'm sorry I know I had no right to do that. It just felt like you needed some reassures that she was gonna be okay." I reply sitting up. I see his smile then in about three seconds he has me trapped in between his bed and him.
"Can I kiss you?" He says and I nod slowly. He smiles before I feel his lips against mine. I wiggle my arms and he let's my wrists go before I run my hands through his hair. He pulls back and I look at him.
"We. We have to stop. This isn't right." He says and I frown.
"No wait that's not what I meant. I meant it's not right because I haven't asked you to be my girlfriend. I smile at him before I flip us over and look at him.
"Marco will you be my boyfriend?" I ask his face showing shocked and before he can answer someone yells..
"Nooo!!!" Then the door bust open. I huff and lay on Marco. He looks at the door and who I guessed was Jack.
"Anthony?" I question and look at him confused.
