And obviously, he hadn’t even known me when I was pregnant with Dani.
“Coming through.” Eve squeezed around Carlo, a pregnancy test in her hand. She waved it around and handed it to me. “Good luck, honey.” Her eyes were already watering. Which in turn made mine do the same thing.
She instantly turned and squeezed one of Carlo’s big biceps. “And good luck to you.” Then she disappeared.
“I don’t think—” I started saying, but Carlo walked all the way into the bathroom and shut the door behind him. “Take the test, Giselle.” He crossed his arms and stood against the back of the door.
I felt my heart start beating a mile a minute.
“Carlo, I’m not—”
He glared at me. “Take the fucking test. I’m not leaving until you do.”
I rolled my eyes and stood. “Fine, but you can wait outside.”
He shook his head. “Nope.”
My head fell back, and I groaned, “I’m not peeing in front of you.”
His gaze narrowed. “You gave birth to our son in front of me.”
Well, he had me there. Darn it.
But still—“Can you give me a little privacy? Please?” I asked in a calm voice.
Again, he shook his head. “Nope.”
I shut my eyes and groaned, “Why not?”
He stepped up to me and took the test out of my hand. He ripped the foil package open and handed me the test. “Because I missed out on of all of this with Marcello. And this time, I’m not missing one fucking second. So, take the test, Giselle.”
Oh.
My.
Heart.
This man.
I’d had to grieve the loss of many things since—well, since our world blew up.
But so did Carlo.
He just didn’t talk about all the things he’d missed out on. But seeing him here in front of me—I could now see that he carried that loss with him, too.
I had suffered.
And so had he.
“Okay,” I said, but it wasn’t in a defeated tone. Not at all.
Carlo was right. He should be here for this.
Either way. He had a right to know.
I set the test down on the counter. Then I pulled my yoga pants and my panties down and sat.
After I took the test, I replaced the cap on the end. And plunked it back on the counter. “Tell me what it says.”
