You and me against the world ❤

61.

Cristiano's POV

"Alright , fine, you can be there when the baby is due. But that doesn't mean we are getting back together, so don't get any ideas."
I was thrilled when I heard Elena say that. Even though she was hurt, she still allowed me to be there and for that I admire her even more. I couldn't help but chuckle when she said don't get any ideas. I have loads already.
"What?"
She asked once she saw me staring at her. I snapped out of my trance and smiled to myself, looking down at the drink in my hands. I guess I should tell her that I miss her, but I know she would just roll her eyes at me. So I told her it was nothing. Suddenly we heard Count on me by Bruno Mars. I remembered my proposal plans. We looked at each other and recalled a party where a drunk Sergio Ramos started singing this song. He wasn't that drunk, we all drank, but when he started singing, his comedic side showed so much we still chuckle at the memory.
"And when he almost tripped over the chair, an-and pretended like it was a part of the routine."
Elena and I tried our best to recall the night and retell it, constantly interrupted by laughing so much as the pictures from the event flashed in our minds.

It felt so good to actually forget the bad things going on between us and just share a laugh. As the laughter died down however, we both went silent, the song ended and so did the truce between us. I didn't even think about how much I missed her laugh until I heard it. It has always been the music to my ears, and that will never change. The next song that came up, I recognised it as Thinking out loud by Ed Sheeran. Looking over at Elena, i noticed her slowly swaying to the song, mouthing the words, as she stirred her spaghetti with the fork. I wanted to ask her to dance with me, but I knew she would never agree. The waiter brought a bottle of the wine I found being her taste. The same one we drank on the yacht a while back. She gave me a look, and I couldn't help but smirk.
"Can I have this dance?"
I asked, getting up and reaching my hand out to her. She rolled her eyes at me.
"For old times sake?"
It will be the first time in weeks that I actually will be able to touch her and I really missed the contact. I know she still loves me, and thus I knew she would agree.

She put her hand in mine and I led us to the dance floor. We were not the only ones there, but in a cliché way, I felt like it was just her and me. I placed my hand around her waist, pulling her as closer as I could. Her eyes were glued to the ground as she reached to place her hand on my shoulder. We danced a lot slower, considering her pregnancy. During the song I felt a slight kick of the baby, and my hand went from her back to her belly as I felt my child kicking into my hand. I guess it can feel it's me. I don't really know the gender, Elena never told me that. I looked up at her and noticed she felt uncomfortable. She tried getting away from me, but I grabbed her hand and pulled her back. Finally, our eyes met, and soon her face turned into one of pain and I thought it was either me hurting her arm as I held on to it tightly or if it was the baby coming already. Suddenly, Elena fainted and somehow managed to grab her so she wouldn't hit the ground. Her hand was on her belly before she passed out so it could be that there is something going on with the baby. The entire restaurant filled with gasps and muffled conversations as people tried to process what they witnessed.

I quickly picked Elena up in my arms and took her to my car, gently putting her in the passenger side. As we arrived to the nearest hospital, they rushed her into examination, to try and figure out what was going on. I was not allowed in, so all I could do was wait, with my head in my hands. After what felt like an eternity, the doctor got out of the examination room. He led me in and I could see Elena woke up, thank God. We were both nervous about what is going on with our child, and that's probably why she let me hold her hand.
"Well..."
The doctor began.

Cliffhanger! I'm sorry I had to, it was stronger than me. Hope you like the story so far. Thank you for all your reads and votes. I'm shocked that we are almost up to 19k. I couldn't find a pic where she was looking at him and acting the way I wrote, so if you find that kind of a pic and them dancing, let me know.

Stay beautiful 💋❤
