Jemma's POV
I stand up and run into the bathroom and in there I just cry. I cry for Alessandro, I cry for our marriage, I cry for our baby boy. It's just a lot, I didn't leave so that he can be hurt. I didn't want to hurt him but I had to choose me first. I was thinking about me that's why I left. I needed time to come to terms with everything that happened on my wedding day.
After I finish crying for close to 30 minutes I exit the bathroom and head back to the living room, only to find little Alessandro sitting on her aunty's lap playing and looking happy. When he sees me he starts raising his little arms for me to pick him up. At this point I don't know what to say to Alessandro's sister and her husband.
I go over and pick my little man up and go sit on the opposite couch. With little Alessandro in my arms I look at them square in the face. "This is my son, his name is Alessandro Tetrazzini Junior and yes he is Alessandro's son. I didn't know I was pregnant when I left the USA, I only found out about the pregnancy while in South Africa." I say to them.
Alessandro's sister just looks at me and suddenly she also burst into tears. "You don't know how much this is going to mean to Alessandro, I am so thrilled that even if he doesn't make it, at least he left a part of him on this earth" she says this with tears on her face and I I guess it's tears of joy for meeting her nephew for the first time.
"How bad is Alessandro? I ask . I want to know though I am scared of the answer but I need to know." He is bad, I won't lie to you the chances of him making it are 50/50. You are our last hope, the doctors are not sure if your presence might improve his diagnosis but we had to try."
I don't know what to do, on the other hand I want to help him but on the other hand I'm scared of failing him. What if my presence makes him worse and it doesn't work? But then again on the other hand what if he improves because of my presence. I sit there pondering the scenarios for a few minutes.
"I just have one last question to ask, I say this to both Tim and his wife. What happened to Theresa, Alessandro's ex wife or wife?" I ask this with trepidation. "She was lying about everything and by the time we investigated and find out she forged the marriage certificate, you were already gone and Alessandro was in the hospital" Tim answers.
Oh my word!!! So I left Alessandro for nothing! I don't know how I feel about that: guilty is at the top of the list and foolish. I should have stayed and supported my husband but because I was young and gullible I bolted. One of the reasons why I ran away is that: I don't feel good enough for Alessandro, I mean why me? He can have any woman in the world but he chose me.
I need to make a decision fast. Alessandro needs me, my son needs his father so I have to make this right. I am also scared of this not working out but then again I have to try, I owe him that much. My son deserves to know his father, he deserves to have a daddy in his life and he comes first.
The decision has already been made for me. I don't have a choice...
