Chapter 78: Chapter 78

Allesandro

Edith is now six months pregnant. Initially she suffered a lot of nausea but from last two months thankfully she is fine. "Sandro..." She scratches my upper arm as I was preparing her favourite meal buffalo chicken wings. "What do you want Sweet cakes?" I ask her without turning back but there was no answer. My hands go stationary and exhale a sigh turning reverse. Her eyes meet mine and gradually scroll down to my lips.

I chuckle at her pretty antics. Edith's style is always different. She gets me head over heels by her unique and cute way of asking things. "You want a kiss? Why? It is not even two hours since we made love?" She narrows her lips looking around but not meeting my eyes when I try to pull her leg. I smile at her bubbly capers and lay my hands around her fragile form bringing her closer to me in a hug.

Turning her head out of my crook I pulled her close to me, gently backing myself against the walls. Angling my face to hers I steal a look into her eyes. When I was confirmed she felt the same hunger for me I attach my lips to her. My tongue slowly swept inside her mouth until our lips locked.

At first the kiss was small, gentle and very meaningful. But then it grew bigger and more intense. She tasted tentatively with her tongue as she traced it across the bottom of my lip. The caress of her lips seemed much softer this time. Soon we started swallowing each other making the kiss even more intense. I let out a moan and so did she while her warm breath travelled into my face.

She took my hand holding it in her both hands and places it as open palm on her heart to hold it there. "See how my heart beats hard for you." I had no words to describe my craving for her at the moment. Her eyes exude love, lust, innocence and respect for me. My hand went back to hold her neck and kiss her raw. Her other hand slowly wraps around me and I intend to never let it go.

My heart begins to pound. I stood there, feeling a wantoness run from my heart to my chest and down toward my inner thighs. My erection became hard and big. I kiss her shoulder, and then softly bite it. She mewls and says "I want more..." I knew it doesn't hurt but enhances desire. Pushing away the hairs on her face I place hot wet kisses from her jaw line to her slender neck. Playing with the hem of her shirt I pull it away from her head.

Her torso was just covered in a cherry red bra now. My finger touched her neck, and then the hair to move slowly absorbing all the curves of her body. She shuddered in chills and angled her head to give me a better axis. I ran a casual trace of my fingers on her sexy physique. My hands traced down the swelling of her breasts and then to the shapely sides of her globes. They were super soft and swollen because of the advancement in pregnancy. Her legs trembled with lechery.

My heart is about to beat out of my chest and I close my eyes and take a deep breath out. "Are you wet for me love?" I ask her with my head down on her neck. Closing my eyes in an ecstasy I inhale the fragrance of her mesmeric hair spray and run my nose from her shoulders to her upper arm. "Sandro touch me where I require you the most." She moans and I snicker. "Not so fast Sweet cakes...." She grabbed my hands, placed them on her breasts.

I squeeze her breasts staring into her eyes and smile. Bending down I release her of her pants and panties. I rub my finger on the bud and she releases a sexy cry that gets me more instigated.

Gently placing her naked body on the bed I kiss, lick and suck on her breasts before removing my clothes. She gives me that evil smile she has when she is about to do something naughty. I cast hungry gazes at her and at the same time wondered what she was about to execute. As soon as I undo my pants she pulls me to the bed with her on top of me and runs wet kisses on my chest.

I hold her in place while she adjusts my manhood inside her and slowly starts riding me. I fondle her soft breasts and rub her clitoris with my other hand to give her more pleasure. "Oh yeah Sandro this is the best." She whimpers lascivious closing her eyes in rapture. After a couple of minutes she trembled in elation. I laid her gingerly on the bed and started pounding her insides careful with her belly. An hour later both of us were sweating and exhausted but completely satiated.

"Edith do not drink. Edith you cannot stay in the party till late in the evening. Edith you cannot take room outside and study. Edith behave..." She wipes her tears with her fingers holding her pregnant belly. "Why are so many restrictions imposed upon me mom? Daddy, give a break. I'm frustrated of all these rules." She squeaks in desperation to her parents when they came to see her the next weekend.

"Because some idiot spiked my drink in the party I am not allowed to rent an accommodation and study. Isn't it daddy? Why should I suffer the brunt of actions of some unknown fucking philanderer? Where am I wrong that I'm unjustifiably imposed a punishment here dad?" She takes a step back holding the chair. I rush to her help but she forwards her hand for me to stop.

"And you..." She points to her brother. "Because dad wouldn't allow me to study renting a room you parcel me to this dominant jerk." Her hands focused towards me. "Am I some non living thing that you can decide for me whatever you wish Charles?" Her eyes slowly start dropping but she continues. "Edith" I call her going anxious of her slumping stance. "Do not worry about me Allesandro Martin, I'm not going to die so early." She smiles at me with dullness in her eyes.

"He is an equal controlling freak like you. All of you are the same.... dad, you and my husband. You are different cloth pieces of the same yarn.... rule the roost assertive superiors. I'm tired of getting governed by you all the 365 days of the year. I want a break." She shouts aloud to her complete family who go startled assembled in the visitor's hall.

Edith's legs give out and before she contacts the ground I try to reach her but it was too late. Her limbs land to palpitations, her eyeballs go upwards and white foam started to come out from the corner of her lips. "What happened to my child?" Arianna gets to a hysterical cry and runs to Edith holding her head in her lap. Allen sprints anxious to check Edith's pulse and I rub her hands in mine. "Edith wake up baby...Edith...love" I gently slap her cheeks.

Charles rushes to the kitchen to bring a glass of water and sprinkles on her face but it was of no use. I bring my stethoscope to study the beat of her heart and to my utter dismay it was unsteady. Even a slight issue can cause a lot of health complications during this stage and Edith was in her advanced pregnancy. Though I had my doubt about her heart condition I did not want to divulge my worries to her family without coming to a sure conclusion.

Placing Edith in my car, I put my car engine on fire. My knuckles turn white as I hold the steering in a death grip going terrified. Her parents and brother follow us back. Hearing the murmur of her heart through the stethoscope, I suspect an atrial septal defect for Edith. I reach the hospital in pensive steps with my unconscious wife in my arms. "Raina get the operation theatre ready, now." I command the head nurse. Till date I have treated innumerable patients after becoming a doctor but when it came to my wife, my hands trembled.

"Doctor, are you okay?" Raina enquired. I just nodded unable to find my voice. A lot happened in just a couple of minutes. I did not know Edith held so much of pain in her soul for her family and me. Had I known she was suffering immense because of my nature I would have amended myself. I was only trying to protect her because I love her.

Edith is in her advance pregnancy and it is a huge risk for the mother and child if something went wrong. I hope my wife's heart is normal and for a change I want my suspicion to go wrong but to utter disconcert my experience seldom failed.

I am the top cardiologist in the city. Checking the pulse of a patient I am well experienced to understand the condition of heart. Regarding Edith I examined her chest, heart and pulse and all my reviews land me only to one conclusion - Atrial Septal defect. In a normal man's language it is called a hole in the heart.

The hole could develop during the birth of child itself or in some patients after the advancement in life. Whatever case may be ruefully Edith's heart condition is unknown to her parents till date. Else she would have got the treatment long back and today she wouldn't be fighting life and death situation in the later weeks of her pregnancy.

The anaesthetist was ready. I put on my blue uniform, scrubs, mask, gloves and surgical lens to start for the echo cardiogram. The cardiac echo allows to see the heart's chambers heart valves, measure their pumping strength and thereby a hole if it is there. Depending upon the patient's condition the hole could be anywhere. It could be in the heart valves, arteries or veins.

Ten minutes later I came across the truth I dreaded the most. Edith's heart has a hole. As she is in her advanced pregnancy the hole cannot be treated now and thus her condition is quiet precarious.

Oh God let my wife live....
