The Second Time Around

Chapter 03

Time.

I don't know what has gotten into me. Four years of being together I got very dependent to Kief. Ayokong napapalayo sa kanya. Lalo na nung dumating si Kierra sa amin.

It was unexpected.

Really unexpected.

Kiefer and I just celebrated our anniversary. Three years.

'Babe...'

'I think I'm pregnant.' And just like that, I dropped the bomb.

Kiefer went spechless.

Eto na nga ba ang sinasabi ko. He's not yet ready. Damn.

He just stood up, went to his room and shouts.

'Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!' Natakot ako kaya sinundan ko sa room nya. I saw him in the terrace of his room. Fcuk! Wag kang tatalon, di ka pa nakikita ni Baby. Ahy wait, ni hindi pa nga sure kung may laman na nga.

Naiiyak na ako... until I heard him again.

'Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Yes! Yes! Yes! Magiging Daddy na ako. Wohoooooooo!' Nakita ko siya, tumatalon talon sa terrace niya and he raised his hands on the air. Nanalo lang ng lotto Manong?

'Kiefer!' I shouted at him, oa na ang reaction eh.

'Baby...' Tumakbo siya papunta sa akin. He hugged me tight and lifted me up. Inikot ikot pa.

Kiefer uhrg! Oa talaga. Di pa po tayo sure.

'Baby, stop na. Nahihilo na ako.'

Hinihimas himas nya ang tummy ko.

'Baby, may laman talaga yan ah. May laman talaga yan.' Naku Kiefer, ikaw pa ang excited ah. Di ko inexpect to.

Ang saya niya lang haynaku.

'Bae, I haven't tried the pt pa nga. Pero feel ko positive naman.' He assisted me on his bed and make me sit on his lap. Haynaku Manong.

'Babe, we'll try tomorrow, first thing in the morning para sure.' He said and kissed my shoulder. Clingy Tasha kami.

The next day, pagkagising na pagkagising pa lang namin, inabot na kaagad niya sa akin ang kit. Wag talaga masyadong excited Manong baka ma disappoint ka.

'This is it baby. Go!' He said and push me inside the cr.

Minutes later I went out the cr, to find him nowhere. Hoy Ravena asan ka?

I went out his room, to the living room, to the kitchen, wala. Manong asan ka na? So I went back to his room, andun pala sa terrace. Lesheee ka Ravena akala ko tinakbohan mo na ako.

'Baby!' I said, he was talking to someone pala. I didn't interrupt hi conversation with I don't know since paring serious sila. I just went back to his room na lang and lays back in bed, observing the little kit.

Two lines.

May laman nga talaga. Hello, nafifeel ko naman talaga kasi na may laman.

Napapaisip ako. How will we relay this message to our love ones? I really don't know ano ang mangyayari sa amin.

Pregnancy out of wedlock.

Nagkagulo na sa isip ko. How will Papa and Mama react? Sila Ate? My friends? Paano? Yan kasi Mika, bat mo kasi sinuko agad?

Hindi naman kasi maiwasan. I'm sure with Kiefer na. I love him so much, and he loves me so much din naman. He's there always, all the time. I feel like a princess. He said pa nga 'I will give the world to you.' Ginagawa niya at binibigay niya lahat sa akin. Even when I said na wag na, binibigay niya pa rin.
