Back at the palace, Virginia was carrying Mike and two bags were on both of her shoulders. Suddenly she felt dizzy. She stopped and put Mike on the ground.
- Mommy, are you sick?- Mike asked.
- No sweety, I'm fine. Let's go to grandpa's room.
She takes Mikes hand and walks. But she still feels strange. And at that moment she let's go of Mike's hand and fells down to the floor.
- Mama!- Mike screams, and shakes her to get up. But Virginia doesn't react at all.
- Mama! Mama! Wake up, don't sleep here.- he says while trying to get her up. But no use.
At that moment Wolf comes running. As he was heading to the mirror room. he notices Virginia on the floor, and Mike sitting beside her crying.
- Virginia!- He calls and runs toward her.- Mike what happened?
- Mommy is sick.- He replies and continues to cry.
- Don't cry son, come, we're going to our room.- Wolf says and picks Virginia up, and carries her back to their room.
He puts her in their bed, covers her with blankets. And sits beside her. Suddenly he smells something familliar.
- Cripes! I know this smell.- He looks at Mike and says.- You smelled like that before you were born.
Now Wolf had a BIG smile on his face. He pulled the ringer rope to call the maide. When she came he asked her to call a doctor and Tony. She did as she was told. Tony came running.
- What did you do this time?- He asked.
- I didn't do anything.- Wolf replied.- I found her lying on the ground while I was heading to the mirror room. Mike was sitting beside her crying.
Tony looked at Wolf in disbelief.
- Tony, I'm telling the truth. And I think I know why this happened to her. No I don't think, I'm sure I know!
- Yeah, I know that too. You broke her heart and she couldn't handle it!
- No, no, no, no! No! It's something else. Al right, I'll tell you. My nose never lied to me before, and I'm sure it's not lying this time either.
- And what does your nose tell you this time?- Tony said trying to show Wolf that he doesn't believe him, not to mention his nose.
- You're going to have a grandson!
- Oh come on! This isn't a time for a joke.
- I don't joke when it comes to my nose and Virginia!
At that moment the doctor knocked the door and entered.
- Oh doctor, thankfully you came. This guy here is trying to make a joke by telling me that my daughter is pregnant. While I'm sure that she couldn't handle his betrayal.
- I didn't betray her!
- Oh yes you did! Why do you think that she wanted to go home? She doesn't have anyone there!
- No please stop it both of you!- The doctor said.- Please leave the room and leave me alone with the patient.
Tony took Mike's hand and they went out. Wolf didn't want to go out, but the doctor insisted to be left alone with Virginia to do all the necessary tests. Finally Wolf got out of the room too.
- I'll be waiting in my room. If you get any news let me know, O.K.?- Tony asked.
- I will.- Wolf replied in a sad tone and looking to the ground.
Tony took Mike, and moonlight who was in the corridor to his room. Wolf sat in front of the door waiting for the doctor to get out of there.
- Huff-Puff! Get out now, I wanna be with my wife!- He said to himself.
After a half an hour the doctor got out of the room.
- What is it Doc.? Is she all right?
- She's fine. She needs some rest. but I have some good news for you.- Said the doctor and smiled.
- Oh I know that one. We're having a baby.
- How did you know?
- My nose told me. Now if you'll excuse me. I must see her.
- Mr. Wolf, wait please.- The doctor put his hand on Wolf's shoulder.
- Huff-Puff, now what?
- I'm sorry to tell you. But your wife asked not to let you inside.
- What? Cripes! Why?
- She didn't say why. She just asked me to tell you that she doesn't want you to enter now.
- She can't do that to me. Not now!
- I'm sorry Mr. Wolf. but that's what she asked. I can't say or do anything about that. But I must say that I'm surprised about her decision. Usually, the wife is anxios to tell her husband about the new baby.
- Well, we had a little argument about an hour ago.
- That makes it clear. My advice to you. Wait untill she's ready to let you in. But I'm not sure if that would be today.
- All right Doc. I'll wait for her.- Wolf says sadly.
- Now, if you'll excuse me, I have work to do.
- Oh, yes, sure Doc. Thanks for comming.
- Always at your service.- The doctor replies and leaves.
Wolf sits in front of the door. Waiting for Virginia to call him in.
Two hours pasts, but Virginia doesn't call him. Wolf is still sitting in front of the door, on the floor. One of the servants comes and offers him a chair that is in the corridor, but he rejects it.
Finally the door is opened. Virginia rubs her eyes. She was sleeping.
Wolf stands in front of the door.
- Virginia?- He says.
She looks at him. She feels sorry deep inside, but doesn't want to be the first to say sorry. Wolf realizes that and he steps forward and enters the room. Virginia goes back. Wolf closes the door and says:
- I'm sorry about this morning. I didn't mean to make you feel jealous.
- I said that I wasn't feeling jealous.- She replied dryly.
- Cripes! All right. I'm sorry to hurt your feelings. I didn't mean to do that. Huff-Puff, will you ever forgive me?- He makes a guilty face expression.
- On one condition.- She says and stands close to him. She brings her face close to his and says.- Don't you ever even try to make me feel jealous like you did today.
- Uhh! So you were jealous! I knew it!- He exclaimed.
Virginia looked at him sharply.
- Huff-Puff, I promise never ever, ever, ever, ever do that kind of a thing again! I give you my wolf word!
Virginia smiled finally.
- You know what I'm thinking of now?- She asks.
- Haven't got a clue.
- We're having a baby! Isn't that great?- She says loudly and happilly. And she jumps into Wolfs arms.
- Oh I missed you my little sausage.- Wolf said.
- I missed you too.- She replied.
- Let's go and tell your dad about this, he didn't believe me when I told him.
- How did you know?
- I got a big nose.
- Oh. I see.- They laugh.
- I just remembered how you smelled when I told you about being pregnant at the dinner about three years ago.
- Wow. I wish I had such smelling capabilities.
- I think that you'll learn a little.
They reach Tony's room. They knock the door and get in.
- Virginia, are you all right dear?
- I'm fine dad. Don't worry.
- Did you two make up?
- Of course we did!- Wolf jumps into the conversation.
- Dad we have something to tell you.
- Don't tell me you're still going home.
- No, it's not that. It's something better. I'm pregnant.
- What? Well, that's great honey! Congratulations.
- See? I told you, you didn't believe me.- Wolf said.
- And I still don't.- Tony replied.- I'm sure now only because Virginia told me, and she was told by the doctor.
- Huff-Puff! I didn't expect this kind of a congratulation.
- Dad, i think that you must appologise to him.- Virginia told her father.
- And why should I? I didn't say anything wrong. Besides, you had an argument with him. And you felt sick because of him.
- But we forgot about that now dad. And you shold do the same.
- All right. If that's what you want.
- That's exactly what I want.
- All right. Congratlations son.- Tony says and gives Wolf a fatherly hug. Wolf's eyes fills with tears.
- Thanks Tony.
- Mommy, are you sick?- Mike asked.
- No sweety, I'm fine. Let's go to grandpa's room.
She takes Mikes hand and walks. But she still feels strange. And at that moment she let's go of Mike's hand and fells down to the floor.
