Chapter TWENTY ONE

It's the next day and we drive to the hospital so the tests can be done. We stop by to see Mari and seeing her connected to all the machines breaks my heart. I saw her yesterday making up with Liam and Luciano had to drag me home so I can rest after traveling non stop. My Dad sees Nick and walks out of the room,I know he's trying had to not punch Nick in the face. "Hey Mommy",she smiles at me and I hold my baby tight. "Can I give her a hug", Nick says and I let him. " Hey pretty princess",he says and caresses her face like she's a rare gem. This makes her giggle and she says"my name's Marianna but you can call me Mari but don't call me principessa because only daddy can call me and mommy that",she tells him. And I can see hurt flash across his face. I clear my throat and tell Nick that we have to see the doctor. Mari protests because she doesn't want me to leave but I coax her after she hears Liam and her dad are outside waiting to see her. We enter the Doctor's office" doctor Mar
