Marcel finally felt the pain. And by pain, it wasn't just the physical aspect of it, but emotional as well. All this while, Marcel had been holding himself together, telling himself that everything would turn out well, but after that drama with Mimi in the waiting room, it was as if he had been in denial all this while, and reality was dawning on him.
He once held Victor in his arms. All of his cousin's blood had been on his body, but Marcel had to wash it off in the hospital's restroom before Arianna arrived and saw it. The sight of blood didn't make her skittish but he didn't want to make her worry. She was carrying his child, he had to make sure that nothing stressed her enough to lose his baby. He had waited a long time for this blessing and would not lose it.
