32- Understanding
Sadie quickly looked over at Antonio in shock, and thought about what he just said "What do you mean siblings? How would you know about that, did you know about this the entire time?"
Antonio looked forward trying to keep his eyes focused on the road, he didn't mean for the siblings part to slip out. All he wanted was, for Sadie to open her heart, he knew she had one, a huge one at that, and wanted her to be happy for them "When Ethan brought me downstairs while you helped your mom with dinner, he opened up to me, warning me about your mom. He mentioned that she was pregnant, and said that he saw them on the screen. He never did say what he meant by that, because of you calling out letting us know dinner was ready. So, I assumed there was more than one."
"Just lovely..." She leaned her head against the window, and sighed.
"Dammit Sadie, will you just be happy for them? I ask that you find it in your heart to be happy for them, you're a good person, and so are they. They deserve to be happy, and if this is making them happy... so be it." Antonio snapped in frustration. He hoped once they got back to Ethan's, she will have a change of heart, and all he could do was cross his fingers, while holding onto the steering wheel, hoping her attituded changes.
Antonio pulled into Ethan's driveway, and before they got out, he took her hand pulling her close to him, and looked her in the eyes, giving her a desperate look "Please no hitting Ethan, and no yelling at anyone. Just let them talk, and you listen. If you want to speak, be sincere, all I ask is that you let them enjoy the news they shared with us. This is something Ethan has always wanted, not only children, but your mother, look how long he wanted, and tried to have her, only for you to stop him..."
"I just need to talk with Ethan... alone." Sadie hurriedly got out of the car, and sprinted up to the door. Antonio then quickly got out of the car, and rushed up to her. "Hey, slow down... I mean it, give them each a chance. I know you're upset, and being upset isn't going to fix anything."
"Just let me be... please." she quietly said, as Antonio sighed.
They stood at Ethan's door waiting to be let in, she was going to walk in, but the door was already locked. Sadie continued knocking until the door finally opened "You're back?" Ethan grinned "The way you were knocking, I thought it was the police here to bring me in." Seeing the look in her eyes, he was thinking oh shit here it comes and opened the door wider for them to come in "What brings you back, did you miss me that much?"
"Ethan... no need to try and be funny right now, I would like to have a word with you... privately..." she insisted, giving him a serious look, while resting her hands on her hips.
"OK." His eyes were wide, and looked over at Antonio. He was thinking she came back to beat the shit out of him, and knew he better bring her downstairs for her to do that.
Antonio nodded his head while looking at Ethan when he looked at him with a scared look "Go have a talk with her." he smiled.
Ethan nervously placed his hand on Sadie's back, and walked her over to the stairs "We can go down here and talk, I don't need any witnesses for when you kill me."
Antonio walked over to Grace, and gave her a hug "I'm pretty sure I talked some sense into her, I'm sure things will be fine..." Grace sighed, and wiped away tears that were strolling down her cheeks "I don't need her hating me, it's not like I planned for this to happen, I was always told I couldn't have any more children, and I believed them." she quietly said, resting her head against Antonio's chest.
"She won't hate you, she's just very surprised right now, on top of that, she's being her stubborn self." he assured her, hugging her tighter. "Come on, let's go sit, and talk, while they talk everything out."
Antonio took a seat at the table, and talked with Grace while he waited for Sadie, and Ethan to come back upstairs.
Ethan walked Sadie over to the couch, and sat down, with Sadie sitting down next to him. He looked at her nervously, waiting for the punch in the face "Relax Ethan, as much as I would like to smack you right now, I'm not going to."
Ethan felt a little relieved, but was still waiting for Sadie to go crazy on him "That's good..." he said, with a sound of relief in his voice.
She looked at him, and grabbed a hold of his hands, wanting him to relax, for what she's about to say to him. "I wanted to talk to you, because I want you to know that I trust you. You have been there for me since the beginning, as well as for Antonio. From the beginning, I have looked at you as if you were my brother... you walked me down the aisle, and you went out of your way to find my dad. Not to mention, you talked some sense into him, and was able to get him to show up at my wedding. You have always been there for Antonio, and I whenever we needed someone to talk to, and I would like you to know that all of that, is, and was greatly appreciated..."
Ethan smiled at her, and was liking what he was hearing so far "You're welcome." Ethan cut in.
"I'm sure you already know, and have figured out, I may not agree with your relationship with my mother, and you do know that I tried my best to keep you away from her all these years, but I will say one thing... I have noticed a big change in her, she seems to be much happier, and I believe that change is because of you. So, I want to thank you for that."
Ethan sat forward, and smiled "Does this mean that you forgive me?"
"Hear me out, and let me finish what I have to say." She scooted closer to him, and wrapped an arm around him, his heart dropped again, thinking she was about to sneak in a punch to the stomach. "I said to relax, I'm not going to do anything to you."
Ethan sat up, shaking his arms, relaxing himself. He ran his fingers through his hair, and took a breather "OK..."
"Now... I want you to know, I have seen a change in you as well. Once you started hanging out with my mom, you got over your feelings of Melissa, and you found out that you have a beautiful little girl. I know you'll be a good dad to her, and I know you'll be a good dad to my mom's..." She stopped talking, and cleared her throat, thinking about what Antonio said about siblings "My mom's babies, my siblings, your kids with her... kids that you have always wanted."
Ethan squinted his eyes, looking at her confused when she said babies, siblings, and kids "How do you know there is more than one, we haven't told anyone that there is more than one?"
"Because, in the car, Antonio mentioned to me siblings. He didn't say how many, but it came out of his mouth. That being said, I am putting my trust in you to help take care of them, and my mother. I will say to you, if you ever hurt my mom, I swear you'll have to answer to me, and I will beat the living shit out of you." she giggled, laying her head on his shoulder "I mean it, you better take good care of her, and those kids. Although, I will admit that I know you will, you're a good person, and to be honest I couldn't be any happier for both of you. You both deserve happiness, my mom especially, she's never had this type of relationship in her life, and she needs someone like you. I can see that she's a little skeptic about the whole thing, so... I will be offering my help with everything. I'll help out as much as I can."
"Thank you so much Sadie, this means a lot to me. I want you to know that you have my word, I will take good care of her, and our children, you have nothing to worry about."
"I know." she smiled. Ethan shifted his body to face Sadie, giving her a hug "I better go talk to my mom." she tells him, squeezing him tighter, and kissing him on the cheek.
They headed upstairs, and Sadie walked over behind Grace, leaned over the couch placing her hands on Grace's shoulders, and leaned into her ear "Can we go somewhere and talk?" she asked politely.
Ethan looked at Antonio, whispering with a smile "Thank you."
Grace walked Sadie into Ethan's room, shut the door, and sat down on the bed, patting the bed next to her. Sadie sat down, took a deep breath and smiled while giving her a hug, surprising Grace "I'm sorry mom, I didn't mean to leave like I did, I was surprised, and felt hurt. But I'll have you know, I had a nice talk with Ethan, and I want you to know that I'll be there for you, and him."
They sat and talked for a while, Sadie got everything off her chest, wishing her the best, and letting her know she deserved happiness also, and wasn't going to do anything to stop her from being happy. Grace felt relieved, gave her a hug and held onto her tight "Thank you Sadie, that means a lot to me... I will admit, I'm a little scared about this pregnancy, with my injuries, my age, and as many as I am carrying, I'm scared as hell."
"I know you are, Ethan promised me that he will be there for you with everything, and you'll have Antonio, and I helping when we can."
"Thank you, you have no idea how much this means to me. I was in shock when they told me that I was pregnant. I didn't want to believe it; Ethan saw it on the screen, and I refused to look, thinking it was something else. I was in complete denial until the doctor showed me the pictures, showing me that I was in fact pregnant."
"Mom, if you're happy, then I am happy." Sadie smiled, assuring her that everything will be fine "So how many siblings am I looking forward to meeting?"
"Well..."
Ethan poured a couple drinks, handing one to Antonio before he sat down "I owe you a huge thank you." Ethan grinned "I'm still in shock Sadie didn't attack me."
Antonio took a sip of his drink, and smiled, chuckling a little "Be happy she didn't, I really thought she would at first, I could see it in her eyes, and sense it in her voice when I talked to her on the way home."
"Oh, I know. I could see it in her eyes when she first started talking, she started off by saying how much she wanted to, then said that she wasn't going to. I still waited for the punch." Ethan grinned.
Antonio took another drink, and sat forward with a smile "Between you and I, I want you to know that I am happy for you, I really am. I hope everything works out for the both of you, you both deserve it."
"Thank you, I honestly have never loved someone so much in my life, besides finding out Faith is mine, and I thought I loved Melissa... but, now I know, I wasn't that much in love with her. The love I feel for Grace, is so much more."
Antonio could tell Ethan was in fact in love with Grace, and knew in his heart that Ethan finally found the one that he would most likely share the rest of his life with. Sadie, and Grace walked into the living room and sat down next to the guys "Everything all good?" Antonio asked, looking at Sadie with a smile.
"Yes, everything is good." Sadie said, looking at her mom, smiling.
"Good... because when I woke up this morning, I had a feeling it was going to be an eye-opening experience." Ethan chuckled "Hey, did you guys ever hear about the time that I got into an argument with a mime?" Ethan laughed when they all shook their heads no "I had to silence him, which is what I thought that I was going to have to do tonight with Sadie."
Antonio shook his head "You really are something else." Antonio laughed.
"Well, think about it, arguing with a woman is like buying a lottery ticket, you know you're not going to win, but you're sure as hell going to try to." Ethan joked, then was instantly smacked in the arm by Sadie. "Ouch!" he laughed, rubbing his arm.
Sadie laughed, then wondered if she should tell them the news, she had planned on sharing earlier with them. She looked at the time, saw it was getting late, and needed to relieve Isabella, and Gabriella from watching the kids, so they could get to bed themselves, and decided to wait to tell them another time. "We should get back to the kids." Sadie said as she placed her hand on Antonio's thigh.
"Thanks for coming back, and talking with us. It means a lot to the both of us that you're willing to accept this." Ethan stood up and gave her another hug "I mean it, thank you."
Later that night Sadie was lying in bed thinking, and rolled to her side looking at Antonio, she placed her arm around him, and kissed him on the lips "I was happy to hear nothing was seriously wrong with my mom."
"Why is it, that I can tell there is still something wrong with the tone in your voice?" he asked, sounding tired.
"No, there's nothing wrong. There was something that I wanted to share with everyone at dinner, and didn't get to."
"Why didn't you?"
Sadie rolled on top of him, leaning down and giving him a kiss "I couldn't, they were trying to share their special news with us, and I didn't want to take that away from them. That would have been selfish on my part, had I done that."
Antonio rolled her over, laid on top of her and looked deeply into her eyes. "Now, what are you trying to keep a secret about?"
"There's no secret."
He gave her a funny look, and began nibbling on her bottom lip "Don't lie to me." he says, nibbling on her lip again "You're not a very good liar, I can tell you have something to say, so say it." He pressed his lips to hers, and began kissing her, their kiss soft, and slow at first, then turned into a passionate kiss. He pulled back, and looked at her raising an eyebrow. "So?"
"I'm not lying, but if you look closely, and if you truly know me, you would think you would notice something different."
Antonio rolled off her, and onto his back to think. Shaking his head, he had no idea what she was talking about, he didn't notice anything different, and she didn't change her hair style, or hair color, and sighed "I have no clue what you're talking about." He rolled his head to the side, looking at her confused, trying to see what she was talking about.
"I thought you knew me?"
"I do know you." he chuckled.
She sat up using her elbow, looked him in the eyes, and grinned "Guardami di nuovo, se guardi da vicino lo capirai." She plopped herself back down on the bed, and rolled over with her back facing Antonio.
"If you wanted me to look at you, why roll over?" he asks, giving her a playful shove.
She giggled, wanting to see if he could figure it out on his own, and figured he would finally get the hint. When he didn't, she rolled over and rolled on top of him, staring him in the eyes "I'm going to sleep, I love you, goodnight." She gave him a kiss, and rolled off him, closing her eyes.
Antonio huffed, and bit onto his bottom lip, lying there, and thinking for a while until it hit him, quickly turning his head over to Sadie, giving her a poke. She remained laying there quietly with her eyes closed, smirking the entire time, and not saying anything to him.
"Sadie..." he said quickly and whispering loud "Tell me you're not pregnant?"
(guardami di nuovo, se guardi da vicino lo capirai= look at me again, if you look closely you'll figure it out.)
