CHAPTER SIX

AFTER another tense night Katya was pleased to get out of bed and away from Ben’s brooding presence. She made a beeline for Ten-ti’s room and was happy to find the little girl awake and sitting on the balcony with Mi-tung. For a moment the breathtaking view distracted her and she took a deep calming breath, expelling the pent-up tension caused by another platonic night.

The Mediterranean stretched into the distance, the early morning sunshine warming the cliff faces of the craggy coastline. The gardens stepped down below in all their colourful splendour. From the nearby lemon grove, a faint tang of citrus waft towards her on the light breeze.

Ten-ti lifted up her arms and Katya picked her up off Mi-tung’s lap and settled with her in the other chair on the balcony. The little girl chattered excitedly and pointed to her head.

‘I know, I know.’ Katya laughed.

Ten-ti said something to Mi-tung and Mi-tung got up and went inside. She came back with a mirror and Ten-ti pointed at it and then at her head and stared at herself in the mirror in amazement. She angled her head from side to side and primped and preened like a teenager on a first date, and Katya laughed at her utter joy.

The little girl put the mirror down and threw herself at Katya, her little arms clinging around Katya’s neck. Katya hugged her close, a lump rising in her throat. What would her child look like at four? Would he or she take after her or Ben? Would he or she have her blondeness or Ben’s dark Italian looks?

Would he or she ever wonder about her?

The desire to hold her own child was suddenly overwhelming and she quashed it as she squeezed Tent-ti closer. Just because she was feeling the baby move all the time now, it didn’t mean anything. Other than that the baby was growing normally. Which was good. It didn’t mean she was developing any motherly yearnings.

Katya felt a pang of guilt and hugged Ten-ti harder. She didn’t protest and Katya was grateful, for this little girl gave her hope. Here in her arms was living proof that a child didn’t need to have a mother to grow up happy and loved. It just needed someone to love it and to grow up in a loving environment.

Ten-ti justified Katya’s position and Katya held onto that dearly. The last few days had been a confusing time for her with the Ben incident and the baby’s first movements. There had been a lot of unexpected emotions and feelings which could threaten her plans if she allowed them free rein. Ten-ti was tangible evidence that her plan could work and Katya really needed that reassurance.

Two weeks later Ben and Katya waited in a small anteroom for Dr Rocco Gambino, the Clinic’s radiologist, to finish an X-ray. It was their lunch-break and Rocco had arranged to do Katya’s first ultrasound. Ben had told Katya with great pride that Rocco was one of the most experienced obstetric sonographers in the country.
