This Isn't My Idea of Love

Chapter Twenty-Five: Antonella's Pregnancy

Antonella grinned as she stood next to Lionel’s car, she knew that he was surprised to see her; she had been planning this for a while and had worn something that would show off her pregnancy bump.

“Hola Leo,” Antonella said as she brushed some hair from her face, she smirked at the look that crossed Gerard’s face as he glared at her; he couldn't believe that she was doing this to the argentine.

“Antonella… why are you here?” Lionel asked as he stared at the pregnant figure of his ex-girlfriend; she smirked as she stepped towards him.

“I’m here to see you… I think there is something we should talk about,” Antonella said as she rested a hand on her swollen stomach, Lionel shook his head in disbelief.

He knew that he had worn a condom when he’d slept with Antonella, he didn't want to believe that she was pregnant with his child.

Cesc and Gerard glared at the argentine, they had been warned by Daniella about Antonella’s pregnancy; however they didn't think that she would attempt to pull this on Lionel.

“So shall we go back to yours?” Antonella said grinning, she knew that Lionel’s parents were in Barcelona visiting and she couldn't wait to see their faces when it came out that she was having Lionel’s baby.

Lionel stared at her, he didn't know what she was playing at but he had a feeling that she wasn’t going to just disappear; he nodded his head stiffly wondering how Viola would take this news when she learnt that Antonella was pregnant and that she was coming home with him.

“Leo, are you sure about this?” Gerard asked softly as he looked at his friend, he knew that Viola wouldn’t be happy about Antonella coming to the house.

Lionel looked at his friend, he knew that if there was a chance that Antonella’s baby was his then he wasn’t going to leave it out; it was his child as much as Viola’s little boy was.

“You’re having Lionel’s baby?” Celia asked as she stared stunned at the brunette before her, she glanced over at Viola who was sitting next to Lionel; she hadn't spoken since the footballer had brought Antonella to their home.

“Yes,” Antonella said with a smile, she didn't miss the look of anger that filled Jorge’s eyes as he turned to glare at his youngest son; he had always been proud of Lionel, however today he couldn't believe that his son had been so stupid.

Antonella seemed thrilled at the sudden change in the family; she smirked as she sensed the trouble that she was causing for them, she glanced at Viola who refused to look at her.

“Could you give us a moment Antonella? We need to have a family discussion,” Jorge said as he glared at his son.

Lionel flinched as he moved closer to Viola, she hadn't spoken and wasn’t sure how to deal with the news that Lionel might have gotten Antonella pregnant.

The brunette pursed her lips as she stared at Jorge for a moment before she nodded her head, she hadn't expected to be ask them to leave; she was a part of this family now because she was carrying Lionel’s baby.

Once Antonella had left the room, Jorge turned his full attention to his youngest son; he sighed as he wondered what he could say.

They all knew that Antonella had spiked Lionel’s drink when she had tricked him into sleeping with her; none of them had thought that it would lead to this.

Lionel looked at Viola, who shook her head before moving away from him; she sat down away from her husband as she tried to wrap her head around this.

Celia smiled sympathetically at the brunette before she turned her attention to her youngest son; Lionel stared at his wife sadly as he took a deep breath.

“I wore a condom… I don’t know how this happened,” Lionel said as he looked at Viola, he suddenly felt scared that he would lose her over this; he didn't know what he would do if she left him now.

Celia stared at her son as she tried to wrap her head around what he had said, a horrible feeling of guilt consuming her as she realised what had happened.

Jorge looked at his wife before he groaned as he realised what had happened. Lionel looked at his parents confused before Celia looked at him guiltily.

“Before you and Viola married… I put holes in your condoms to ensure that she would fall pregnant,” Celia said finally admitting what she had done all those months ago.

Viola stared at her mother-in-law shocked that she would have gone that far to make sure that she would get grandchildren.

Lionel looked at his mother, he couldn't believe that she had messed with the only contraception that he used to ensure that Viola got pregnant and now it had only ensured that Antonella was pregnant.

He didn't use anything when he was having sex with Viola since she was already pregnant.

“You messed with the condoms?” Lionel said as he looked between his parents as they shifted nervously, Viola stared at them wondering if her parents knew about this.

Antonella pursed her lips as Lionel sighed and ran a hand through his hair; he looked over at Viola for a moment before he turned his attention back to his ex-girlfriend as he figured out what he wanted to do.

“If that child is mine then I’ll help you anyway I can,” Lionel said making Antonella smile as she realised that she was getting what she wanted; she had everything planned out so that Lionel would never see the child that she was carrying born.

“Of course… do you want me to move back in here?” Antonella said making Viola still from where she was sat with Marley, the argentine smirked as she realised that the other brunette didn't want her to stay with them.

Lionel stared warily at his ex-girlfriend for a moment before he shook his head.

“I’ve arranged for you to stay in one of the apartments that I own here in Barcelona... I’ll be involved until the child is born and then we’ll have a DNA test done,” Lionel said making Antonella stare at him for a moment.

She was a little surprised that the footballer wasn’t allowing her to move back into the home; Viola seemed to relax at the words that Lionel had said.

Taking a deep breath, Lionel stared at his ex-girlfriend as he sorted through his thoughts; he wasn’t going to let either of his children down.

He was going to be a father and he knew that ever if he wasn’t with Antonella that he was going to be a good one to the child that she was carrying.

“Okay, I will see you?” Antonella asked softly as she looked innocently at Lionel, she wasn’t going to let him slip through her fingers now; he nodded his head as he handed her, the keys to the apartment.

“I’ll be at the next appointment,” Lionel confirmed making Antonella falter slightly, she licked her lips nervously as she looked at him before she nodded her head; she wasn’t going to let anything get in her way now.
