Isabella wouldn’t want to hear about her nerves.This was ...huge.She tried not to panic as they left the poolroom and made their way back into the house.
Adelina changed into a pair of pants and shirt, along with a jacket.She didn’t know how Isabella did it, but she was already waiting by the front door, complete with a cell phone in her hand.
There was no point in putting off the inevitable.She needed to know if she was pregnant or not.Following Isabella out to the car, the guard opened the rear passenger door, and Isabella sat in the back.Adelina looked at the house, and then took a deep breath, as she climbed into the back of the car.
“This is so exciting.Phil, take us to the nearest pharmacy, please,” Isabella said.
“Yes, Miss Salvatore.”
They were reversing out of their parking spaces, and then onto the main driveway and into the main road.With every second that passed, Adelina felt a little sicker.What if she was pregnant?Would Massimo be happy?
“Adelina, are you okay?”Isabella asked.
“Yeah, I’m fine.Massimo and I haven’t talked about this.Kids, and having babies.”
“You both know that is what was going to happen,” Isabella said.“When I finally find the one for me, I want a dozen kids.I want a large family.”
“You do?”
“Yeah, I love that it is me, Dad, and my brother, but I know Mom wanted more kids.She got sick with me, and it was a rough pregnancy, which was why they didn’t have any more after me.I don’t know, I watch all those movies with large families and I see all the drama and the chaos unfold, and I can’t help it, I love it.I know that probably makes me a little unhinged, but I love it.”
Adelina smiled.“It sounds kind of great.Not the drama, but a large family.”
“It is.”Isabella sighed, then reached over and put a hand on her stomach.“And you’re starting that next generation.”
She put her hand on top of Isabella’s.
“Massimo is going to be so happy.”
They arrived at the pharmacy, and Phil brought the car to a stop, parking it in front.
Isabella attempted to convince Phil to stay in the car, but the guard wasn’t having any of it, so they all entered the pharmacy.
Adelina noticed the woman behind the counter looked a little nervous.“Where are the pregnancy tests?”
“Aisle two,” she said.
“Thank you.”
With Isabella at her side, she made her way to aisle two, and looked at the long line of pregnancy tests.
“Wow,” Isabella said.“I had no idea there were so many different kinds.”
“Me neither.”
She looked at each package and the truth was, she didn’t have a clue which one was the best.
“What about this one?”Isabella asked.
It was one that promised the right result.
“Yeah, let’s get that one.”
“Do you think you need one to tell you if it’s a boy or girl?”Isabella asked.
“I don’t think they do that, do they?I thought that was the point of the ultrasound.”
“I don’t know.I mean, would your pee be able to detect if it was a boy or girl?”
