Until you heard the tiny pitter-patter of little feet.
You ignored it at first, too comfy in Jhoanna's embrace. She must have heard it too because she just buried her face in your neck, whispering,
Five more minutes... -
But Jace had other plans.
Next thing you knew—
SMACK.
OW—WHAT THE?! -Jhoanna yelped.
You blinked awake to see your tiny one-year-old son, Jace, standing on the bed, his little face scrunched up in a pout. His tiny hands were balled into fists as he glared at Jhoanna like she just committed the ultimate betrayal.
Jhoanna sat up, holding her cheek.
Did—did I just get smacked?! -She asked
Jace pointed at her, then at you.
MY MOMMY! -Jace screamed
Your eyes widened.
Jace... -You mumbled softly
Jhoanna gasped dramatically, clutching her chest.
Excuse me?! Ako ang asawa ni Mommy! -Jhoanna said
Jace was not having it. He shoved himself between you and Jhoanna, pushing her away with all his tiny strength.
NO! -he huffed.
MOMMY. IS. MINE. -He added
Jhoanna looked personally offended.
What—since when?! -She asked
You tried to hold back your laughter as Jace wrapped his tiny arms around your waist, clinging to you possessively. He looked up at you with his big, teary eyes and pouted.
Mommy... -He sniffled.
Love Jace more... -He said cutely
And just like that—your heart shattered into a million pieces.
Aww, baby... -You cooed, scooping him up in your arms.
Of course, I love you, my little prince. -You said
Jhoanna let out a dramatic gasp.
Babe, don't tell me nanalo siya?! -Jhoanna asked
You giggled, rubbing Jace's back as he snuggled into your chest, glaring at Jhoanna like he had just won a war.
Well... he's our baby. -You muttered
Yeah, but I'M YOUR BABY TOO! -Jhoanna whined, pouting at both of you.
Jace turned his head, looking directly at Jhoanna.
Then—he smirked.
A smirk.
As if to say: Stay in your lane, Mommy Jho.
Jhoanna gasped.
Oh, IT'S ON. -She said
She lunged at both of you, wrapping her arms around you and squishing Jace between the two of you.
Jace squealed.
NOOOO!!! -He screamed
Jhoanna grinned.
What now, huh? I GOT MOMMY TOO. -She said
Jace wiggled, screamed, and tried to fight back, but Jhoanna only hugged both of you tighter.
No more Mommy wars! We both win! -She mumbled
Part of the Script -Jhoanna
Start from the beginning
