Chapter 334
Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father
The doctor murmurs his agreement with Alessi but then moves around the room, preparing the tests and then calling a nurse into the room to prep my bloodwork. Daniel obligingly opens his mouth, letting the doctor swipe around the inside of his cheeks with a cotton swab, while the nurse ties a rubber band around my upper arm and begins to locate a vein.
After the doctor has put Danielâs testing materials away, he comes and draws a vial of blood from me himself. That finished, he cleans the very tiny needle puncture on my arm and puts a Band-Aid over it.
âAll set,â the doctor says, giving us a smile all around.
âDoctor,â I say, sitting up and smiling at him. âWould it be all right to add Mr. Bianciâs email address to the account, so that they can receive results of the pregnancy test directly from your office?â
The doctor looks at me in surprise and glances towards Natalia and Alessi. âIf you...consent to that,â he says, turning back to me, âthen sure, we can send the results to you as well as Mr. Bianci.â
âYes, why not,â I say, turning to give Natalia and Alessi a big smile. âI want you to have all of your assurances in place. And, as Daniel said,â I continue, reaching a hand out towards my husband, who immediately takes it, âweâve got nothing to hide.â
Natalia gives me a tight smile while Alessi presses his hands together towards me in thanks and then goes with the doctor to the computer to provide him with his contact information. When theyâve finished that, we all stand up and head for the door, murmuring our thanks to the doctor.
But, just before we can reach it, I stumble and catch my breath.
âFay?â Daniel asks, shifting his hold on me and catching me at the elbow, helping me stand back up. âAre you â are you all right?â
âIâm fine,â I murmur, looking up at him. âUm, I just got a little dizzy? Maybe from taking the blood?â
Natalia and Alessi stop in the hall before us, turning to see, and the doctor comes up behind. âThatâs not uncommon,â the doctor says, gesturing back into the room. âWould you like to stay for a moment, Mrs. Lippert? We can have one of the nurses bring you a snack â bring that blood sugar right back up.â
âThank you,â I murmur, and then I grimace at Natalia and Alessi, guilt on my face.
âYou two go on,â Daniel says, glancing at the Italians before turning his concerned face back to me and helping me back into the room. âShe just needs to sit down for a moment ââ
âAre you sure?â Alessi says, taking a worried step towards me, his eyes moving over me.
Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father ï¤Chapter 0333 âIâll be just fine,â I say, giving an embarrassed little laugh. âIâm just â you know, weaker than I thought Iâd be, pregnant.â I give a humble little shrug and a blush.
âYes, come on, Alessi,â Natalia says, placing her fingers on her forearm and stepping away. âWe have things to do.â
Daniel calls his goodbyes to them and helps me back into the room, where I sink into a chair and immediately clear my throat.
âYou okay?â the doctor asks.
âYup,â I say, smiling up at him. âI wouldnât say no to that snack, though,â I continue, turning my head to the side. I am hungrier these days than I usually am.
Daniel laughs and steps away from me. âNicely done, Fay,â he says, giving me a smirk as he folds his arms and leaning against the wall. âYou even had me for a moment â I thought you were really going to fall.â
âDrama camp, fourth grade,â I say loftily, leaning back in my chair and grinning up at him. âWe practiced prat falls for hours.â
âSo,â Dr. Banks says, standing between us and looking at Daniel with a grin. âWere you able to get the hair sample this morning?â
