It's You

Chapter 20

"Thank you Beh. But Nico needs you. Short vacay na nga lang sya dito hindi mo pa sasamahan" I sincerely said.

"Who told you? Sama din daw sya dito noh." Jho laughed.

We heard a single knock on the door and Thirdy came in. He excitedly walked towards me when he saw that I was awake already. He kissed my forehead for several times.

"How are you Baby?" Thirdy asked as he sat on the bed.

"Medyo hilo pa ko. Pero don't worry, I'm feeling better na." I reached for his hand and pressed it lightly. "Babe, gusto kong maupo. Help me please." He hurriedly obliged so magkatabi na kaming nakaupo ni Thirdy. I leaned my head on his shoulder and his arm supporting my back.

"Thirds, ano sabi ng Doctor? May result na ba daw yung mga test?" Jho said.

"Hindi pa daw tapos, Jho. Pupunta na lang daw sila dito sa room after." Thirdy answered. But we heard another knock on the door and a familiar face in white coat entered with smile on her face.

"Ate Den?" Jho and I said in unison. Dennise Lazaro was our friend, mostlikely our Ate. Our families were very good friends, it's just that their family went to US for Ate Den's education. She studied medicine there and this was the first time we saw her after how many years.

"Beatriz." She looked at me and turned to other side. "Jhoana." She smiled widely. "Namiss ko kayo."

"Kami din Ate Den." Jho approached Ate Den and gave the latter a hug. Ate Den walked towards me and kissed me on my cheek.

"So how are you feeling, Bea?" She asked me, still wearing her smile.

"Nahihilo lang Doc. But much better than earlier." I showed them a small smile.

"Doc, kamusta po ang result ng mga lab test? May findings po ba?" Thirdy asked nervously while holding my hand tightly.

"Actually, everything is clear." Ate Den started. "Naover-fatigue ka lang Bea. You just need to rest." Everyone inside the room relieved.

"But there is a finding on one of the test." The doctor said and the three of us listen quietly. "Bea, Thirdy." Thirdy and I glanced to each other then back to Ate Den.

"What is it, Doc?" Thirdy asked bravely.

"You should take good care of Bea." Ate Den paused for a second then looked directly to Thirdy. "She's carrying your baby, Thirdy."

"Wait. What? Baby? Ate Den?" Jho said still in shock.

"Yes. Bea is 4 weeks pregnant."

"I am going to be a father." I heard Thirdy whispered and let out a small laughs. Hindi ko alam kung natawa ba sya o naiyak, hindi ko sya matingnan.

I was dazed on Ate Den's revelation. There were lots of things that goes through my mind. A simultaneous shift of emotions and I really don't know what to feel.

I am 4 weeks pregnant. How come? Ofcourse you had sex with Thirdy, your boyfriend, Beatriz ano ba? Don't be too in denial.

I was feeling so shocked, our baby was made on our first try. I'm pregnant. I. Am. Pregnant. I'm really pregnant. This only means that I'll be in labor in few months. Oh ow I have to push the baby out of me. Masakit yon.

I put my hands on my tummy and my eyes becomes watery as I gently rub my belly in circular motion. There is a little tiny human being with a beating heart growing inside my body.

I glanced at Thirdy, he was wearing the biggest smile on his face but tears were slowly falling from his eyes. I held his face and wiped his tears using my thumb.

"Someone will call me Mommy in few months." I muttered. Unaunahan ang mga luhang lumabas sa aking mga mata.

"Baby." Thirdy held both of my cheeks and wiped all of my tears. "Everything is alright. Wag ka matakot."

"Bea wag ka umiyak, makakaapekto yan sa baby." Doc Den said as she walked towards the door. "I have to go, may check lang akong ibang patients. Congrats to both of you."

"So I'll be a Tita na." Jho said as she walks back and forth. "Oh no, a Ninang pala." As if she was talking to herself. "No, no, no, no. Mommy din dapat ang itatawag nya saken."

Thirdy and I looked at Jho for a second at nagbalik ulit ng tingin sa isa't isa. Both of us suppressed our laughs but we failed big time, napahagalpak kami ng tawang dalawa.

"Anong tinatawa tawa nyong dalawa jan huh?" Jho threw us a death glare. She walks fast towards us and pinch us lightly.

"Aray Jho." Thirdy and I complained.

"You two owes me kwento. Lalong lalo ka na Beatriz." She looked straight into my eyes at namimilog ang kanyang mga mata. I was about to speak but she raised her hand to cut me off. "Mamaya ka na mag explain. Lalabas lang ako at bibili ng kape, para mahimasmasan naman ako. Grabeng pasurprise nyo. Di ko keri." Hindi na kami nakapagsalita at dali daling lumabas si Jho ng kwarto.

Thirdy and I faced each other, no one dared to speak and were just staring to each other. Thirdy, once again, cupped my cheeks and pinned our foreheads. Our eyes were looking sincerely to each other. "Babe, alam kong madaming tumatakbo sa isip mo ngayon." He paused for a moment. "Gusto kong magsorry sayo, I know hindi natin naplano ito. Pero isa lang ang masisigurado ko sayo. We will face this together. Aalagaan kita, aalagaan ko kayo pareho." I slowly nodded and smiled as a response to him. Thirdy slowly closed the gap between our lips and gave me short, soft, warm kiss. That kiss made my mind calm and gave assurance that everything will be okay.

Thirdy and I put our hands on my tummy and both of us giggled. "We are having a baby." We said in unison and the four corners of the room was filled with joy and laugher. Mommy... Daddy... And soon, our baby love.
