Chapter 18 He Can't Have You
I couldn't help but turn my head towards the direction of the sound and I wish I didn't because what stood before me was the shook of my life.
Only one thought processed through my mind as I was staring at Luca.
How did I let things get this far, so quick?
"Father, you wouldn't allow this, would you?" Antonio yelled, pulling me from my train of thoughts.
Oh, now he cared but when I was suffering for the past few months I was the last thought on his mind.
"If needed then yes Luca, will marry Venus,"He stated, ever so blandly.
Luca gave a satisfied smirk while Antonio glared at him.
I couldn't bear to hear anymore so I got up heading to the door but before I could even get to it everything around me went black.

I awoke from the sound of bickering. This was the best sleep I have gotten for months so naturally I so badly wanted to punch the people who disturbed my heavenly sleep.
I opened my eyes to find Antonio and Luca standing there hovering over my head.
God how much I hate people hovering over my head.
How do I warn them without wanting to kick them both out the room or maybe the window?
Oh damn, and these hormones are not helping one bit.
"Venus you're awake. How are-" Luca began to ask but was so kindly interrupted by Antonio.
"God you idiot! Let her breathe."
"I'm fine. I'm fine. Could you two stop hovering over my head!"I all but yelled. Their eyes went wide with shock but then they both backed away.
There was a knock on the door and the doctor entered shortly after.
"Ahhh Venus you're finally up," He chirped, making me smile."Hi, I'm Dr.Richards. Well, I have good news for you, your baby is very healthy and if I am not wrong you are around the seventeen-week mark which means you can find out the gender if you like?" I nodded my head. I have been dying to find out what I will be having.
"Yes, please."I beamed, but this time his eyes landed on Antonio and then Luca.
He pointed at each of them before asking," Who's the babies father?" Antonio was about to speak before I interrupted.
"Oh, my baby is fatherless. He didn't want anything to do with us." Antonio's head cocked in my direction as I gave a satisfied smirk.
Ha, It serves him right!
" Do you want them to stay in the room?"
I turned to look at Antonio before replying,"I guess."
Dr.Richards nodded and then quickly turned on the ultrasound machine, I pulled up my top slightly and he spread the green gel on my tummy with the wand.
He smiled before looking at me,"You are exactly eighteen weeks. Your baby is five and a half inches and weighs 7.5 ounces. Your baby is very healthy. Congratulations you're having a girl."He said.
"A girl," Antonio and I said in unison. I couldn't help but look at him and to be honest I was totally surprised to find a smile on his face.
The doctor nodded, handed me a paper towel and I wiped the green gel off of my tummy.
I couldn't help it a tear stroked my cheek but I quickly wiped it away before any of them saw.
I didn't waste any time and quickly exited the room but before I could make it far someone garbed my elbow.
I turned to see Antonio looking at me.
"If you think you're marrying him you've got another thing coming for you because as long as I am breathing I will never ever let you marry Luca.He can't have you." He shouted, making me cock my eyebrow.
Oh this shall be intersting.
