'Do you think the lovebirds will finally get together?' I chuckle.
Today Barça was taking on Manchester United, me and Ela were getting back to work which means her and Gavi need to find a way to sort things out, but before everything, I am meant to meet up with Caro.
'They kinda have to.' he pours some orange juice for the both of us. 'We all work together.' he said quietly, leaning in, as he was afraid someone might hear us.
'How's your leg?' I quickly changed the subject, placing a soft kiss on his lips and then smiling innocently.
'Are you ever going to stop asking me that?' he says with a soft smile, turning around and grabbing something from the cupboard.
'When you're going to tell me the truth.'
'Are you serious?' he sharply turned around to face me.
'What?' I asked confused.
'I told you I'm fine, there's nothing wrong with my leg, just stop worrying.'
'Yeah, okay.' I rolled my eyes. 'I'm going to see you later.' I grabbed my car keys and left the apartment.
Looks like we just had our first 'argument'.

While I was driving to Caro's house, I could feel the orange juice I just had coming back up my throat. Not being too far away, I managed to hold it in.
I knocked a few times at the door, Caro opening it instantly. Without saying anything I rushed past her and straight into the bathroom.
'Are you okay?' she walked in after a few minutes.
I was sat onto the floor, holding onto my new bestfriend, the toilet.
'Never better.' I smiled softly, showing her the thumbs up.
'How long?'
'How long what?' I asked confused.
'How long has this been going on?'
'Since I've gotten back from Maldives with Bru.' I shrugged my shoulders. 'But it went away and now it's back.' I let out a sigh. 'Maybe my stomach just became sensitive and everything I drink or eat messes it up.'
'You're joking, right?' she chuckled.
'No...?' I looked at her confused.
'Have you tried a pregnancy test?' she smiled.
'What?!' I tried to get up from the floor. 'No, nope, nuh-uh.' I shook my head. 'No way, there's no way.'
'Come on...' she helped me up. 'What can go wrong?'
'Apart from coming up positive and making me feel like I'm trapping him...'
She looked a few moments at me and then spoke up again. 'I would hit you but you might be with child.'
'You're delusional.' I smiled and started freshening up a little bit.

As Carolina kept on insisting and pulled out a pregnancy test from her magical drawer and basically forced me to pee on it, we were now sitting in the bathroom, waiting for a result.
'What are you doing?' I asked her confused.
'I'm filming.' she said smiling.
'Come on, stop it.' I said with pleading eyes.
'You stop being a child.' she said sternly. 'Now stop talking to me and just stare at that damn stick.'
I rolled my eyes and let out a sigh, doing what I was told.
Three minutes passed and I was staring at the pregnancy test in front of me.
Positive.
A million things passed through my head and I burst into tears, not knowing how to react to those news. Truth is, I knew there might be a possibility of this being real, but I just didn't want to accept it.
'What's wrong?' Caro asked worried.
I looked up at her, tears running down my cheeks. I held up the pregnancy stick for the camera and smiled. 'I'm pregnant.'
'Oh my God!' she said jumping up. 'Oh my God, oh my God.' she said excitedly and wrapping her arms around me.
And everything I knew until now was about to change.

'So, have you two spoken about this possibility?' she asked.
Me and Caro were now sitting on her couch after making a very long video expressing how excited she was for me so I can keep it as memory.
'No.' I shook my head, letting out a sigh. 'What if he doesn't even want to have a kid? I mean, I'll completely understand him. He's at the peak of his career and now I'm dropping the baby bomb on him.'
Caro placed her hand on mine. 'Stop stressing.' she smiled softly. 'I've met Pedri and he's in love with you and I know he'll be just as excited I am for this baby.'
'I know, but w—'
'But nothing.' she cut me off. 'You're having a baby with someone you want to spend the rest of your life with. You're having a baby, Irina.' she smiled from ear to ear. 'And I'm going to be there every step of the way.'
'Thank you.' I smiled softly and wrapped my arms around her.
I'm having a baby.
