Familia

Telling him

A 25 Lucky Prescott's heart leapt in her troath as she heard the main door falling shut and the steps of Javier's boots echoed downstairs "Mi amor,¡Estoy en casa!" Her husband's jovial voice called from downstairs,Lucky stood up taking a deep breath and headed downstairs,where 27 year old Javier gently grabbed her waist and kissed her forehead,Lucky inhaled già scent ; It was always so musky and smelled like open air "how was your day,love?" She asked lovingly,laying her hands on his broad chest. He smiled softly,taking his hat off with a huff "same old story" he said softly "Emma's still afraid of riding Picasso" he said,running a hand trough his thick black hair,the other hand -the left one- still onto her slim waist. Lucky smiled softly at him ; She hadn't been feeling too well recently,so her husband had volunteered to take her place.
Her husband. Oh how happy she was of finally being able to call Javier Bienvenidos,the man of her life,her husband. They had gotten married three months ago and it was a simple ceremony ; Her father,Cora,Kate,Polly,James Prescott sr,Fito,Estrella and her friends sere there with Javier's family. The moment Javier put the ring on her finger and Lucky put the ring on his,She had felt so happy and their sweet kiss at the end was the longest they ever shared. Her grandpa had made another home for the new spouses built and Javier and Fortuna Bienvenidos finally got their own house and began their life togheter.

Two months later, Lucky started feeling different,and sick. So sick. So much she ended up fainting right in front of Spirit, who was so busy because his mate -a beautiful white mare Javier had called Lorena - was expecting,and Spirit was so excited because it was his first foal. Spirit had started neighing so loud Doc. Merrywheater had heard him. He had quickly brought Lucky inside and when she woke up,she exhaminated what was the problem. At the end she had known the reason and she was about to tell Javier.

Lucky sighed "on the other hand,i fainted again." She said,they both sat down on the couch and before he could answer,She spoke again "but before you freak out,i gotta tell you i know the reason." Javier's face paled immediately and he took her hands in his "Lucky? Mi amor? Tell me what's wrong, please..." He said, worriedly. She held up a finger "hold up." She stretched from behind the sofa and got a small box in her hand "Before you say anything,i got you something." She smiled softly at him. He took the box with half smile "oh...how toughtful of you,mi amor" he said. She smiled,her hands resting onto her lap "go on." His wife said "Open i!" He did slowly and was confused at what was inside : there were the tiniest cowboy boots he had ever seen. He giggled "i highly doubt these are my size!" He joked. She laughed heartily at that. Still,Javier couldn't understand. Those tiny boots could only fit...his eyes went wide.
A baby.
He put the little box onto the sofa,looking at his wife with wide eyes "¡espera!for real?!" He asked,taking Lucky's hands "are you-?" Fortuna Prescott Bienvenidos took her husband's hand in a smile,then put it onto her stomach : Javier's wide manly hand covering part of it. She nodded "we're gonna have a baby." She said,her eyes smiling too,sparkling like never before.
Javier was speechless for a moment ; exactly the reaction she had expected,It was so cute seeing him so surprised! Soon,the man's mouth widened into a smile and his eyes got moisty "Voy a ser padre..." He said,his free hand clasping his mouth in positive disbelief. Lucky smiled and nodded at him "you are." She said,her voice cracking with emotion. Suddently,Javier grabbed her by her hips and spun her around. She yelped loudly,but soon laughed at him excitement. In fact,he was yelling "¡VOY A SER PADRE! I'm going to be a father!" He then put her down,fell onto his knees and hugged her from the waist to down,Lucky smiled lovingly at him, hugging his shoulders. She felt him sobbing,but those were tears of Joy "mi amor...te amo...i love you...i love both of you" he spoke to both her and the unborn baby,and that was the sweetest thing ever. When the tears dried, Javier looked up and asked "how long have you known?"
"Two month along."
He pressed his cheek against her still slim stomach
"Merrywheater says i should have the baby in April" She said again, Javier could've sworn he was feeling a slight bump already. Still she was hardly showing. "Oh,april is so far!" He said,laughing. She laughed again at that.

It was night and the Bienvenidos were preparing to go to sleep. For most of the day,Javier had asked Lucky so many questions about it : mainly on how she felt and if the baby was kicking "Javi,It doesn't even have legs yet" She said, while taking her shirt of to put on a flanel one for the night. And as she got into bed,he immediately hugged her from her waist,his face pressing onto her stomach and a smile on his face. Lucky sighed "this is going to be a loooong pregnancy."
