Chapter 25 - 'Aunt Irina'

Bella felt a little tired.

So tired, who was she kidding?

The last few days have been really stressful and frustrating.

She didn't have any major issues with the pregnancy, she was pregnant and would take good care of that baby.

She had a loving and supportive family.

Well, her dad is especially happy to hear that he's going to be a grandfather. Really cute.

Now she had a little being growing in her belly and it was already making quite a mess.

Bella even got caught up in thinking about name or gender... She wanted a beautiful little girl to spoil.

But whenever she thought about it too much it seemed to be very obvious in her heart that she was a boy.

Furthermore.

It was no exaggeration to say that most of her mother's purchases were children's accessories or children's items.

There were so many toys, jewelry... The children's world of luxury items was very expensive and extremely exclusive.

Well, the baby had no name and not even a room, no one even knew if he was a boy or a girl.

But the family home was already crammed with all sorts of things for that little child who was about to be born.

Lily Opsahl, Bella's mother, was not a very typical woman.

Her tastes in conjunction with her eccentric temperament made her really interesting.

Bella loved her deeply, only someone as wonderful as she was could adopt her as a daughter.

Her parents were great and she lived a happy life without any kind of hardship.

Since she was adopted she never suffered again and her parents took care of her as the beautiful and huge treasure of that family.

Well, now there were two.

She and the little Opsahl to come.

Of course, some issues were still an issue, but they all involved Emil and Irina.

It was not a secret for Bella's parents that their daughter was in love with Irina, but it was really surprising to learn that she was pregnant with Emil.

After the shock of the news there were no arguments or sermons, the family entered into a happy and peaceful mood.

It all boiled down to the enormous happiness of the new member of the family.

Bella's parents guarded their thoughts about that huge mess and preferred not to be too judgmental of their daughter's actions and thinking.

She's an adult and has always been very self-aware, that child wasn't a mistake and loving wouldn't be either.

Well, it was true that her life became a huge complication after starting 'Unbreakable', but that was also why she had the opportunity to meet Irina.

The beautiful and wonderful Irina.

Beautiful and difficult, heavens... How could it be so difficult to have even the slightest bit of dialogue with Irina?

That woman was so difficult, how could Bella reach her?

Maybe Irina didn't want to be reached, so what could she do?

Simply accepting Irina as 'Aunt Irina' was a little irritating.

The woman who made her eyes and heart shine was the same one who made her exhausted from thinking too much.

Bella sighed as she looked at her plate almost entirely untouched, she had only nibbled on a few pieces of lettuce.

She was nauseous, very nauseous.

The smell of that place, the noises, the plates full of food, everything made her irritable.

The worst thing was to think that this was one of her favorite restaurants and she could hardly stand being inside.

She had started feeling sick relatively late and only in the second half of the second month did they start.

But every day she felt like she was about to vomit her soul out.

Heavens, that was torment.

She just wanted to sleep and stay in a place without too many variations in her sense of smell.

But her mother insisted that a pregnant woman needed to take advantage of all phases, including taking advantage while it was still early and there was a willingness to do what she wanted.

The bigger the belly, the harder it was to live the days in a normal way, her body was sore and the hormones would make her sensitive.

Well, it was a magical moment, but it wasn't really perfect.

Bella discovered every day that being a mother wasn't as beautiful and glamorous as they said.

It was hard and some days were easier than others, but it was still hard.

Trying not to suffer in anticipation Bella leaned back in her chair and sighed once more.

Lily giggled as she cut into her steak, her daughter really did have a bad temper and it got a lot worse now pregnant.

"Are you sick?"

Bella closed her eyes and simply nodded, she needed to keep her focus to ignore all the commotion around her.

Lily thought briefly and it didn't take long for her to have a good idea.

"They say citrus fruits are great... What do you say we go eat at that tea shop you love? They have great fennel lemon tea there."

Bella heard that proposal and smiled, suddenly she felt a strong desire to eat one of the sandwiches that they sold in that tea shop.

Her belly even rumbled.

Lily knew her daughter perfectly, that girl had a bad temper, but she knew how to be very obedient most of the time.

Even if she grumbles and is aggressive, you are so easy to convince.

Lily asked for the check, she hadn't eaten much of the food on her plate either.

It was sad to see that kind of food wasted, but they couldn't go around handing out leftovers.

They quickly left the restaurant, got into the car and Lily drove deftly to the beautiful tea shop.

The place had a Victorian and old feel to it, it was a beautiful mix of old and new.

The atmosphere was great and the place was calm.

Celebrities could sit and remain without exposing themselves under the spotlight.

The city was small and besides the rain it had a rich cuisine and a great landscape.

Many film and series productions were made in those locations.

On that particular day, Bella just wanted to sleep, but luckily she had accepted her mother's insistent request and now she could eat a delicious sandwich with tea.

The two women were quickly taken to the second floor.

The beautiful terrace provided a great view and also ensured that everyone was protected from the rain.

After all, the city of lost drops had its own reputation, it was obvious that special protection was needed to complement the atmosphere and ensure that no one took an unnecessary rain shower.

When observing the sky it was possible to see the beautiful rainbow mixing with the dark clouds loaded with more rain.
