PS: Na-wrong send si Jho. 5PM nya daw dadalhin food natin for our garden date. Surprise no more!
I did not wait for any reply from him because I knew he was on his way home already. So I just thought of spending my spare time on one of my favorite spot here in our house, the nursery room.
I carefully walked up the stairs and go directly to the last door in the hallway. A smile drew on my face as I walked inside the room.
Thirdy and I came up with the idea of a gray and white motif for baby's room and other stuffs. It was a mutual decision not to know the gender of our little one to have a bit of excitement once we welcome the baby to the outside world. Hindi din naman importante if boy or girl sya, basta ang ipinagpepray namin palagi ay healthy sya. Since Jhoana was the only one in the family who knows if baby is a he or a she, she insisted to buy basic needs of our little one that will complement to the gender. We gave her the privilege to spoil our baby in advance.
Marahan akong naglakad papuntang glass wall at kitang kita mula rito ang aming gate at garahe. Thirdy chose this area para madali nya daw matatanaw ang baby namin bago umalis at kapag darating ng bahay.
Napangiti ako habang naiisip ang asawa ko. Thirdy was so consistent on his gestures from the moment we met in the airport up until ngayong may bahay nya na ako. Everyday, he makes me feel loved and special pa din even without using a word. I really appreciate also his patience towards me. Most of the time kasi, sobrang sungit ko sakanya, siguro dahil na din sa pregnancy ko. Maswerte ako kay Thirdy, walang oras na hindi ko naramdaman na secured ako sakanya at sa relationship namin. And the most important thing, he always value my worth.
Bahagya akong napangiwi dahil medyo napalakas yata ang sipa ni baby. I settled into the rocking chair while caressing my tummy, my hips were a bit in pain, too.
"Baby, easy ka lang kay Mommy ah. In few weeks mamemeet ka na namin. Love na love ka namin ni Daddy mo." I whispered, still gently touching my bump. "Aba, masunurin naman pala ang baby ko. Don't kick too hard muna ah para di masaktan si Mommy." But the pain in my back increased and I felt cramps on the lower part of my body.
My discomfort somehow subside when I saw a car entering our garage. The couple gave me a wave and huge smiles when they perceived my presence. Jho signaled to just stay put and they'll go up here.
"Hi Beh." She greeted enthusiastically as she enter the room. Agad nya akong nilapitan at binigyan ng beso at hinaplos haplos ang akin ulo. "Ayan, medyo malambot na sya. Ang tigas-tigas kasi kanina eh. Hay naku kang buntis ka."
I let out a small laugh. "Sorry na. Eh nagkecrave talaga kami ni baby eh. Oh where's Nico pala?"
"Nasa baba. Tinutulungan si Manang mag ayos ng food. Beh, okay ka lang ba? Namumutla ka yata?"
"Ah medyo masakit lang ang likod at balakang ko. But I am good. Tara na sa baba para matulungan natin sila." Aya ko sakanya. Inalalayan naman ako ni Jho tumayo.
We were few steps walking down the stairs when I felt something popped inside my body. Natigilan akong humakbang.
"Beh. I'm sorry. Hindi ko napigilan ang wiwi ko." Jhoana's eyes widened as she looked at me from head to toe.
"Bea. Hindi ka nawiwi. Your water is already broken. Manganganak ka na."
Agad bumilis ang tibok ng puso ko. That's the reason why I was suffering severe back pain and cramps.
"Nico. Halika dito dali." Jho said on top of her voice.
"Ano ba yun Bibi? Makasigaw, busy kami ni Ma—." Nanlaki ang mga mata nya. "Hala Bea!"
