A short story....well...a 22 years long saga..
HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTOPHER !!!
|
1980....It was a dark night....one of those
warm..humid summer nights..... He heard her
calling and went up the stairs to go see her.... while walking
into the room his eyes moved to the shining coming from the
floor.... he realized that the floor was wet.... with a puzzled look on
his face he looked up to her.....they made eye contact.... and while
she was shaking her head, like to say..." Yes...that's
it...". He started to wake up and realize
what was happening to him..... well.......to her.....he was going to
be a father... I mean.... she was going to be a mother !!
Driving to the hospital....he was happy as he now had a valid reason for driving like an asshole... I mean... like when he was back an Italy.. and she would not complain about it.... she even asked him : "..%&@€..can this piece of junk go any faster ?".... Wow.. He thought : ".what is happening ? ...she turned into a drag racer ?..." Once at the Hospital, they placed her on the bed....rolled her into the next room to get her ready, while the pediatrician that just arrived, was also getting ready in the next room... She started to panic.... she was realizing what was coming.....Oh shit !!.....the hell with breathing exercises.....this is the real world...we are not in the LaMas class anymore... Slowly the pain and the contractions increased....( so did the screaming and the swearing...@%&$....) The nurses were confused by her cursing....to them this cursing was a sign that she was in real pain and ready to do it..... ( they did not know that ...that was just good old Claire....eheheh)...and could not understand why the baby was not coming.... Finally... hours later......after the sweatting.... screaming... contracting... pushing.....more screaming...and more pushing... and a lot more swears... (...@&%..!! Get me some Drugs..PLEASEEE..the Hell with LaMas..." ...and him.."but honey...look at me..c'mon ..I do the breathing with you.." ..her again.."F@&% you..." and again.."..Aaaaghhh...F@&%€&$@%]{#....." ) He then realized that he was of no help at all in this situation... he moved back a bit...the doctor and nurses gathered closer....while he stood in the middle of the room..behind the medical stuff... he stood there with the pathetic astonished look on his face... (he was about to see the most beautiful thing in life... Thank God..."viewing" !!) Suddenly the room was quite...a scary silence had fallen on the room.. From the back he could not see....and started to panic a little... What happened..? .....Then we started to hear only the moaning of a satisfied woman...... Yes !...the pain was over..... The nurse started the spanking...and we heard a cry...he (?) ..was out !! Still in the middle of the room, he stood like a vegetable...a big zucchini.....with a smile on his face.... Tried to make eye contact with her, while the nurse wrapped "him" up and placed "him" in her arm.. Their made eye contact... a flow of thoughts went on.. no need to talk.. they had talked about this before.. they both were scared to look.. They had often talked about it...what if...not all parts are here..and good ?.... The ugly thoughts was In the back of their mind since day one of the LaMas classes....... He come forward... the nurse was showing him the result of all that labour.... With an astonished look..and a half a smile on his face ..he quickly passed his eyes over this wonder of life.. and in his mind made the inventory.....
Then he screamed..."Claire....he's got everything...he's ok..he's ok"..... He did not dare mentioning that ugly thought..that ugly doubt that just poped up in his mind... Poor Claire after all of this.. she does not need to be upset.... maybe I am wrong anyway...what do I know ? She then look down at the baby that was given to her... and started the inventory herself... (don't trust Italians...they can only cook spaghetti..and make FIATs ) Few moments of silence..while she was counting in her mind....then... She looked up searching to make eye contact with the nurse... hoping to have relief... nobody would say anything....they did not know what we were thinking... Then she screamed..!!!!!!!!!! |

|
..."Igoorrr !!! what did we do ?? |
|
|
|
After hearing our concerns..The med stuff assured us ...laughing.. that the head would have taken its normal shape soon... Give it time Man... See how big He is ?..and where he came out of ?... |
||
|
Immediately the "little one" started the nagging.. ..."$*%&...!! Turn that light off !!!" |
|
|
|
|
||
| They knew... they were in for trouble.... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
They realized..they were dealing with a show off.. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Immediately he showed interest for Sports.. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Finally the head got its shape....eheh....
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The show
off......kept on exposing himself... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
We
realized that we were dealing with another Colombo or Polo...he had just
come to this world..and he started travelling.... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
One of his qualities...make every one smile... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
...Everyone wanted to hug him.... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
He demonstrated high cultural interests.... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
But he also knew how to party....a real Party Animal doing it all night long...... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
Here resting after a "Boys's night out"... |
|
|
| Being the first of the series...of course he was always treated as the "king".. |
|
|
|
As I said...always ready to party..... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
Women couldn't get enough of this Party Animal.... ( ..."please....get me away from these girls..." ) |
|
|
|
|
||
|
One thing we gotta say though...Although he was partying always with different girls..... He would only sleep with "one" ! |
|
|
|
Like I said.. women couldn't get enough of him.... Here young Bo trying to shake off some girls following him.....
"Yo....stop following me..." |
|
|
|
He also demonstrated enterprenour attitudes.... Here in his first business suit... |
|
|
|
Soon he realized that working maybe was just not his thing...too many problems, head aches, etc..... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
He was much better as a dancer...and as a babysitter |
|
|
|
He was a loving little bugger...... |
|
|
|
He maintened his interest in sports....( young Bo..) |
|
|
|
Never much of a neat freak...... |
|
|
|
I guess this look....reiterate what I mentioned above... "Don't Like work..." |
|
|
|
Later on in life.... he started to develop interest to extreme sports... |
|
|
|
....and he got good at it.....a real SuperBike Champ ? ...a natural ? |
|
|
|
The babysitting "qualities" started to disappear...punches and kicks replaced the hugs and kisses.. |
|
|
|
|
||
|
...and he was enjoying it too......poor Chiara...his victim.. |
|
|
|
|
||
|
. ..he only got back to be sweet..when there was something coming...candies... |
|
|
|
He was sent to the same Institutions as his little sister...in trying to get him to behave a bit... |
|
|
|
Unfortunately there was no way to hold him down... Here young Bo...caught while breaking into the neighbour's home.. |
|
|
|
After he was found and warned....he tried to behave.. |
|
|
|
.... he entered a quite phase.... But...he was just not good old Bo anymore.... |
|
|
|
|
||
|
.....see what I mean ? look at him here...stoned...and he didn't even know pot yet...
|
|
|
|
.....´finally he started to get better..... he was back to the be the old Bo... |
|
|
|
He even started to show off again.....Bo was finally back.... |
|
|
|
..
|
||
|
He even got back to his interest for wild sports... he got going with new ones.... |
|
|
|
..and picked up the old ones ....Started to practice more and more..... |
|
|
|
He got so good that he was able to join the rest of the family on the race track.... See Bo (77) here between his father(57) and uncle(69).... ( was he just being nice and holding back...or was he at his limit ? ) |
