Diez [Lionel Messi/Cristiano Ronaldo FanFic]

Chapter 30

The next day, Leo and I dropped off his parents at the airport and hung around the house. I was quiet for most of the day, thinking back to what happened yesterday. Thiago was sitting on the carpet playing with his Cars, while I watched Gran Hotel.

"We need to confirm," Leo says jogging lightly down the stairs into the living room with us. I give him a questioning look before looking down to my bump, "Oh. Uh, okay."

I run my hand through my hair, "I think everyone knows, Leo." He smirks, "I mean they can assume, but my agent said we should confirm."

I nod my head, "I want to talk to Cris before we do." He hums in agreement before pulling up a book on his iPad and wrapping an arm around me. I doze off after about an hour, until the doorbell rings, startling me.

I look at Leo, extremely confused because everyone goes through security. He shrugs, "It's probably Luis or Sofi wanting to check up on us," he says as he moves to go get the door and I snuggle more into the blanket he had put on me.

After a few seconds I hear the door open and Leo talking in a hushed angry tone, causing me to strain myself to hear

"Let me see my sister!" My eyes widen at the voice.

Hugo.

I hadn't heard from him since Graça's wedding. I heard further bickering as I got up to move Thiago to his room. "Mami, who's here?"

"My brother, mi amor. Now, can you stay in your room while your papi and I have grown-up talk?" He nods his head and continues playing with the toys he was playing with downstairs.

I walk tentatively down the staircase that over looked the front doors, where Leo and Hugo were still arguing, well arguing to the best of their extent of languages.

"Hugo!" I shout out my brother, cause the two guys to look at me and shut up instantly.

"Marisol, what have you-"

"What have I done?" I interrupted in Portuguese, "I lived my life. What have you done besides drink it away?"

He seethed, "You've embarrassed your family! Not only living with Messi, but having his child? And out of wedlock? Could you imagine Mãe's reaction to that? We get it, ok? We got your message, you can drop the act now."

I gave Leo a confused look as I went to stand next to him, although he had a possessive stance between me and my brother.

"... what message is this, Hugo?"

He sighs, "Of how horrible we treated you after Pai died. We're sorry, we should have helped-"

"No! It wasn't 'we'. Cris was there for me. Also, this isn't a statement. Not everything revolves around you. This is me living my life with the man and child I love."

He laughs sarcastically, before looking around nodding his head, "Alright, Marisol. This is your life now, congratulations," he states as he turns around to leave.

"You don't even care that you're shutting out your niece?" I ask, almost desperately for a lifeline to my estranged brother. He pauses, "That child isn't family to me."

As soon as he slammed the front door, I broke down in Leo's arms. He rushed me to the couch and was trying his best to calm me. "Shhhh, mi amor. This can't be good for you or the baby. Por favor, shhhhhh." I gasped for air as I tried to calm down, Leo bent down in front of me and held my face in his hands.

"Marisol, you're ok. Everything is ok," he tells me quietly. I nod and breath deeply. "I-I-I-I don't u-understand. It's been two years and they still ca-can't accept it."
