Mika

I woke up and is almost blinded by too much white inside my room and then it all flashed to me like a tornado.

I was bleeding.

Agad kong kinapa ang sinapupunan ko, are you still there? I asked myself. I looked around the room and saw my husband sleeping in a couch.

"Kiefer?" I tried to say that out loud but I don't have energy to do so.

"Baby.." I called him again, struggling. I felt parched. Slowly Kiefer gained consciousness, when he saw me we went quickly to me.

"Babe, you're awake now. Thank God. How are you feeling? You need anything? Water? Are you hungry?" He bombarded me with questions, I am overwhelmed by his concern.

"What happened?" Kiefer put his hand on my hair and is touching it.

"A little Mika or Kiefer is on the way baby." He said to finally confirm my suspicions. Kiefer kissed my forehead.

"Wha-what? But.. How's my little peanut?" I got the biggest shock of my life, I'm sick worried about our baby and I knew Kiefer felt my distress as he try to calm me by caressing my hair.

"Sssh. Nothing to worry now baby. You two are good, he's fighting." He, again kissed my temple.

"But. But! I've been a bad mommy." I can't help but cry now while touching my no baby bump tummy yet.

"Sssh. Please hush baby, it's gonna be bad for the both of you. The doctor told me your condition is very much delicate." I'm trying not to cry but I can't, I almost lost my baby because I was reckless.

"Tahan na, safe na kayo. That's what's important. Nagprescribe si Doc ng medicine for you and our angel. Right now, I'll have to ask you not to play volleyball muna and no work that includes too much moving. We can't push our luck." He wiped the tears formed in my eyes and kissed the side of my lips.

"I'm sorry." Suddenly I felt like apologizing because I knew I was lacking. Mom told me not to fully trust the test kit but I got to disappointed and scared I didn't went for the obgyne.

"Nothing to say sorry about babe, I'm happy. You and our little angel here, makes me happy." He said touching my tummy.

"Pero babe, hindi na ikaw ang baby ko." He gave me a wide grin that made me chuckle.

Yeah, certainly.

Kinabukasan nakalabas na din ako ng ospital. Kiefer is ever so attentive to my needs, feeling ko minsan imbalido na ko eh. Kulang na lang buhatin niya ako kung saan ko gusto pumuntaz

"Kief, can you chillax a bit? Sabi naman ni Doktora healthy ang maglakad but not to much kasi matatagtag si baby." I gave him a warning shot, ang oa kasi. I'm only getting water from the fridge at wala pa akong five steps na nagagawa pero worried na worried na siya.

"Baka kasi madapa ka, o matapilok ka." He explains looking out my way kung merong obstructions.

"We can't risk anything. Ano bang kukunin mo? Water? Upo ka na lang jan." I rolled my eyes on him.

"Sabi ko nga uupo na lang ako." I sighed in defeat. Hindi ako mananalo sa kakulitan ng isang yun.

I went back to the coach, picked up the remote control and scanned tv channels. I stopped on a sport channel, UAAP is playing.

I miss the court.

Kiefer

When I went out carrying a tray of food for Mika, I saw how engrossed she is in watching.
