"Mrs. Valentino, the doctor is ready to see you," the nurse informed Mia with a polite smile. Mia glanced at Alessandro, noticing the way his lips curled into a satisfied smile. It was clear he had made this appointment a priority, likely using his influence to ensure it was arranged promptly and given special attention. With a soft sigh, Mia returned the nurse's smile and started to rise, but Alessandro stood up first, extending his hand toward her. "Here," he said gently. Mia placed her hand in her husband's, feeling the warmth of his strong grip as he carefully helped her Although it was only her third month of pregnancy, Alessandro was treating her with extreme caution, as if she were fragile. It was endearing, though part of her thought he might be overdoing it. Still, she secretly enjoyed the extra attention. Gia and Maximo had come along with them to the clinic, and as Mia turned to her children, she spoke firmly but warmly. "Gia, Maximo, stay here and don't wander off, okay? We'll be back soon." "Okay, Mom!" they chimed in unison, their bright voices bringing a smile to Mia's face. She exchanged a look with Alessandro, both relieved as they left the kids in the waiting area under the watchful eyes of their bodyguards. Inside the doctor's office, the physician greeted them with a welcoming smile. "Mrs. Valentino, how are you feeling today?" I'm doing fine, thank you," Mia replied with a small smile. "Good. Let's take a look and check on things," the doctor said, gesturing for Mia to follow her to the examination area. As Alessandro moved to go with her, the doctor politely added, "Mr. Valentino, please wait here." Alessandro hesitated, clearly wanting to stay by Mia's side. His expressioni tightened, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face, but he reluctantly sat down, his eyes fixed on the doctor as she led Mia away. Mia lay down on the examination bed, her heart racing slightly. The doctor began the routine checkup moving the ultrasound wand over her abdomen. Moments later, the rhythmic sound of the baby's heartbeat filled the room. "Everything looks good," the doctor said reassuringly as Mia listened to the tiny heartbeat echo through the machine. The sound overwhelmed her with emotion, and tears pricked her eyes. "Doctor... is it twins again this time?" Mia asked nervously, her voice barely above a whisper. The thought of handling two more babies at once, on top of Gia and Maximo, terrified her. Raising twins had been a challenge, and she wasn't sure how she would manage four children, all so close in age. The doctor paused for a moment, reviewing the scan. It's still early, but there is a chance," she replied gently. Mia's heart skipped a beat. The idea of having more children-Alessandro's children, their flesh and blood "No, it's just one fetus this time, the doctor assured her "Look here." She pointed to the screen, and Mia's eyes focused on a tiny dot-her baby. Overwhelmed with emotion, Mia covered her mouth, tears of joy welling up. "Doctor, could you please call my husband? He would love to see our baby on the ultrasound," Mia requested softly. "Of course, the doctor nodded with a smile before calling out, "Mr. Valentino, you can come in now." Alessandro's hurried footsteps echoed down the hall, and moments later, he appeared, sliding the curtain aside and stepping into the room. "Is everything alright?" His face was tense, brows furrowed in worry, his concern for Mia and their baby evident. "Everything is fine, Mr. Valentino," the doctor reassured him. "Come over and see your baby on the screen." Alessandro's eyes shifted to Mia, and she smiled, gently beckoning him to join her at her side. "Here, this is your baby," the doctor said, pointing to a spot on the screen. Alessandro squinted, trying to make sense of the image. When he finally saw it, his expression softened into awe, completely captivated by the tiny life growing inside his wife. He took Mia's hand and kissed it firmly, his emotions raw. "I can't believe it," his voice trembled, thick with emotion as he sighed, trying to steady himself. "It's so small... and it's inside you, baby," he said, gazing at Mia as if she were some divine being. "Thank you for making me the happiest man alive." In the heat of the moment, Alessandro forgot they weren't alone. Overwhelmed, he leaned in and kissed Mia, not caring that the doctor was still there. The doctor cleared her throat, making them both pause. "This is still my clinic," she said with a serious expression. "You can celebrate when you get home." Then, her tone turned more serious. "However, Mr. Valentino, you need to be gentle and cautious when it comes to sex during the first trimester Mia's checks flushed a deep red. Alessandro's open affection and his barely filtered possessiveness were undeniable, and his impatience to express his feelings in front of others only made it more obvious. "Okay, doctor, I'll keep that in mind," Alessandro replied calmly, surprising Mia with his composed response. The doctor wiped the gel from Mia's stomach, and Alessandro carefully helped her sit up. Once she was steady, they both stepped out of the examination area and took seats in front of the doctor's desk. The doctor returned to her chair, jotting down notes and writing a prescription. "Everything is fine, right, doctor?" Alessandro asked, his voice steady, though there was a trace of concern as he watched her closely. The doctor looked up, glancing between Mia and Alessandro. Her expression shifted, becoming more serious and hesitant. "Well, there is one thing I need to discuss with you, Mr. Valentino," she said, her tone careful. "But I'd prefer to speak with you alone? Mia's face turned pale as she gripped Alessandro's hand tightly, her heart sinking at the sudden shift in the doctor's tone.
