I get out of the bathroom, I close the door behind me. I look over and see Diego sitting in the couch in my room.
" hi mama" he smiles.
" hey, need something love ?" I smile back.
" no I dont, I just want to spend my time with you, I'm bored" he says. I walk to him and sit next to him.
" welll what you doing mama" he says.
" um nothing." I say.
" what's that in your hand?" He asks.
I look over my hand, holding the pregnancy test.
" well it's a pregnancy test " I say.
" what does it do" he whispers.
" it tells you if your pregnant or not " I say, putting the test on the small table between the couches.
" oh, and.. what's the results?" He says.
" i don't know yet, we gonna wait for like three minutes " I say.
" okay we will wait.." he whispers.
I put my arm wrap him, hugging him.
" you don't want a sibling?" I whisper.
"no I do want one." He says. I kiss his forehead.
" and I know your gonna be the best big brother ever " I whisper in his ear.
" so are the results out?" He asks.
" you sound excited " I say.
" well yes I am" he says.
" what if it's negative " I say.
" y'all making me a sibling than " he shrugs.
" Okay, your favor accepted it " I say.
I take a deep breath and pick up the test. I turn it around.
Positive..
" how does this even tell you-" he asks.
" two lines is positive, a line is negative " I say.
" wait give me please " he says. He takes a look at it.
He jumps in the air, jumping up and down.
" ¡Voy a tener un hermano!" He yells.
[ translation: I'm having a sibling!].
He runs to the door opening it.
" DAD!" He yells.
I didn't really thought he would be happy to have a sibling..
" DAD" he yells again.
" yeah what's up everything alright?" I hear Eric's voice but I don't see him.
" yes everything is good, but mama" he says.
" what, what happened to her " Eric says with panic in his voice, he runs to the room.
" babe!" He yells. " oh are you okay ?" He asks.
" yeah I'm alright " I say, I don't want to cry.
" why you crying?" He says as he walks over me, I stand up and walk towards him. I wrap my arms around him hugging him tightly.
" whatever is it it's gonna be alright.." Eric whispers.
" I'm pregnant " I look up at him in his eyes.
" your lying." He whispers.
I shake my head.
" oh my god " he says running his fingers in his hair smiling hard.
" I fucking love you " he says hugging me again.
" I love you more honey " I say. " don't cry" I chuckle.
" I can't help" he says sniffing.
" Diego you still here ?" I ask. Than I look over him.
" yeah I'm right over here " he says.
" come here baby" I say. He walks toward us. Me and Eric pull him in the hug.
Family hug.
Eric kneels down and kisses my stomach.
" I'll protect you, just like how I protected your big bro when he was in your spot " he says kissing my stomach again.
3 years later....
"you sure about that son?" My father asks me.
" yes I want to do it badly " I say.
" Wanna join or you just want to do it ?" My father asks.
" if you allow i really do want to join" I say.
" alright to my office than to your grandpa and than to the training room" my father says.
We walk in my dad's office.
He sits behind his desk and I sit in front of his desk. He gets a paper and a pen out and hands it to me.
" do I have to read it or ?" I say.
" no you don't have to, if you want read it, but it's not something that will put you in danger....well I mean you already know mafia is dangerous, but yeah it's only about mafia and nothing more " he says.
" you allow me ?" I ask.
" since you want to join yes sure, don't be scared, your stronger than every other of my members " he says. I nod and I sign the paper. I hand my father the paper back.
" I will also get your own office " my father says.
" no you don't really have to" I say.
" you are my oldest son, after my death your taking my spot " he says.
" no no no don't say that, death? Your not gonna die " I say. I can not lose my father.. he is everything I have. He has always been on my side always had my back. Always has been there for me.
" Everyone dies diego, and we can not control that, you know, when I was in my 20s before marriage and family, your mom once told me 'everyone dies In some ways, either they deserve it or not. There is a dying line, and everyone is in that line, and you go back' your mother was telling me when she told me about my parents, and I told her about my mother. And she was telling me ' she could have died in worst way if she was still alive'" he says.
I don't even want to talk anymore. I can't lose anyone..
" come on let's go" my dad says. We leave his office and walk in the hallways to the cells.
" he tried killed mom?." I whisper.
" yes." My dad says.
" why?" I ask.
" I don't even know the story behind your mom's parents tries to kill her " he whispers.
My father opens the door, we walk in.
He is pretty fucked up. Ripped clothes, blood all over his face, bruises all over his body.
" aww a cute little boy" I say.
I hear my dad tries not to laugh.
" p-please l-let go of m-me" he says.
" shut up!" I say punching him.
"please I didn't do anything" he cries.
" Who told you to fucking talk asshole" I yell punching him. " you TRIED TO KILL MY MOTHER" I pause.." you tried to take my mother away from ME!" I punch him, feeling tears filling my eyes" she is fucking INNOCENT WHAT DID SHE DO TO YOU" I punch him again.
" s-son?" He says.
" I am not your SON!" I punch him again." Don't ever CALL ME THAT AGAIN, I'm not even your grandson, I don't deserve to be your fucking grandson " I say.
" which way you want son" my father asks.
" burning" I say. I need to kill this old dusty man.
He is tied up.. my father pour gasoline all over him. I light up the lighter.
"any last words?" I ask bending down and near the lighter near to him.
" please let my wife know I love her" he cries.
" nahhh in your dreams I'm gonna tell her that, oh and she is coming after you" I smirk chuckling.
" oh and I hope you burn in hell as well" I say
putting the lighter on where the gasoline is.
His body's on fire, his screams fills the room..
" good job " my father says.
" thank you " I say.
" I already know you are gonna do great in the mafia " he says.
" well you're gonna be the reason I'll do great" I say. He says nothing but smiles.
