Hello po! Sorry po for the delay. Real life intervened and to be totally honest, the writing gears weren't working right either. Kelangan ko po muna lagyan ng WD-40 para gumana ulit 😂
So anyway, here we are with the "final arc" of how Thirdy came to be. I hope you like this too. 😊
ctto to AnnAliman /nick carter for the pic, and to picmonkey for the editing tools. Thank you 😊❤️

~~ Nighttime, in their bedroom~~
R: *lying on his back, face up on their bed looking at the ceiling* It's kinda weird, huh?
M: *also lying on her back, face up on the bed beside R* You think it's weird? It's part of me. I'm the one who has another person growing inside. A real human being. Part of you and part of me. How's that for weird?
R: *turns to his side towards M and lightly presses his fingers against her tummy* Weird, in a real good kind of way. I like it.
M: You like it? Well, you'd better. Anak mo kaya to.
R: *chuckles, continues to press his fingers lightly against her tummy. Her skin is taut and raised and slightly rounded, but only noticeably this evening when they were taking a shower together* Bakit parang bumilog na ng konti? Parang last week di naman ah.
M: *realised the same earlier whilst getting dressed* I don't know. And stop staring at it. You are weirding me out!
R: I'm not staring..
M: Yes you are!
R: I'm just.. it's just.. *loss for words*
M: Surreal. I know.. I told you I'm the one who has the growing person inside.
R: I mean, in the scan earlier, that heartbeat.. I can still hear it! *leaning his head on M's tummy* baby ko.. *kisses M's tummy*
M: It turned out better for us pala that Doc Jen wasn't able to see me agad agad kasi nasa medical conference pala sya sa States last week. The baby just hit six weeks. Narinig mo yung sinabi ni Doc kanina, swerte daw tayo at may heartbeat na si baby. Most of the time it can't be heard until about seven weeks. *ruffles R's hair who's head is still leaning on her tummy*
R: *his hands rests against what he is sure is a little bump, they're in their own little bubble. Just the three of them, huddled up in their bedroom and contemplating the future* It's beautiful music you know. Gawin kong ring tone yun. I recorded it. *They talk in quiet voices and his thumb moves up and down every so often on her tummy. It makes goosebumps rise up in it's wake*
M: I was so scared kanina. We were in tenterhooks for a week. I mean, I know I felt it na meron na, pero to get that confirmation, iba eh! Hindi ko alam kung parang nabunutan ako ng tinik o lalo akong kinabahan kasi eto na talaga sya. This is not a drill. We are really having a baby.
R: I know, pero alam mo ang saya saya ko kanina. Especially when we heard the heartbeat, nagulat ako! It's so strong and consistent. Ngayon palang, I know that our baby's a fighter. And who would have thought na yung antibiotics mo pala ang salarin kaya sya nabuo? Pangalanan kaya nating Erythromycin si baby? *laughs*
M: Baliw! Di ko naman alam na yung antibiotic pala na yun will render my birth control pill useless. Napagalitan tuloy ako ni Doc Jen, bakit daw ako nag self-medicate. Sabi ko nalang kasi kay Dean effective yun eh kaya yun din ginamit ko. Malay ko naman. But you know what? Having what we have now, I am thankful na that happened. It was wonderful accident.
