His Better Half (AGENT SERIES #7)

EPILOGUE

Richee Irish's POV

I smiled at looked at my baby

"Wallace, stop messing your things"

"Sorry, Mom. I can't find my book"

I kissed his forehead and pinched his cheek "After finding that book, clean your room. Ayoko ng makalat"

"Yes, Mom. Love you"

Wallace Isaac Lim, my son. He's four and genius.

After giving birth of Wallace, natakot na kami ni Warren na sundan sya kasi muntik na akong magdry delivery sa kanya. Noong pinapanganak ko sya, 17 hours akong naglabor then when my water broke. We waited for more than an hour kaya natakot na kaming sundan sya

My son is just like his father, para silang pinagbiyak na bunga. Noong nilabas ko sya, sobrang liit nya. Ilang linggo pa syang naincubator dahil sa nangyari pero hindi nya kami sinukuan

Ngayon, kapag tinignan mo sya. Parang hindi sya yung batang nilabas ko. He's so strong and kinda chubby na bumagay sa tangkad nya

Pati height ni Warren na namana nya. Ang unfair, kulay ko lang ata ang namana nya sakin

He's so white as in. Nakuha nya ata ang pagiging Italyano ng real father ko sa sobrang puti nya

After 4 years, I can't call him Dad. He's suffering in the Center's dungeon. I'm visiting him minsan and nagsisisi na talaga sya

Gusto ko syang pakawalan pero a rule is a rule. I can't let him go that easy

"Irish...."

Napalingon ako at niyakap sya "How's work?"

"Tiring. 5 hours kami sa OR"

Umupo sya sa couch kasama ako kaya napaupo ako sa kandungan nya

"Where's Wallace?"

"Hinahanap ang libro nya, you know him. Hindi matanong yun"

"Parang ikaw"

Inirapan ko sya at tinanggal ang necktie nya

"I missed you, Irish"

Tinignan ko sya at tinulak ang noo nya "Alam ko yang hirit mong ganyan, Warren Adrian"

He smiled at me and wiggled his eyebrows "It's been weeks"

Tumaas ang isang kilay ko "Weeks? Three days ago?"

"Irish, I'm craving for you"

Umiling ako "No. May usapan tayo"

Kumunot ang noo nya "Anong usapan?"

"Don't play innocent, Warren. Sabi mo kapag nabuntis ako, walang mangyayari satin"

Nanlaki ang mata nya "B-buntis ka?"

Nginisian ko sya "Yeah, sharp-shooter ka kaya. Isang beses ka lang hindi gumamit ng condom nakashoot ka nanaman"

Bigla nya akong binuhat at inikot ikot bago kami umupo ulit sa couch "Okay. We will be extra careful from now on, Irish. Have you visit Eve?"

Tumango ako "Safe naman daw si Baby pero Warren natatakot ako"

He kissed my forehead "Don't be, Irish. I'm here. We won't let something happen to our baby"

"Found it, Mom!"

Nilingon ko si Wallace sa taas ng staircase

"Old man!"

Rinig ko amg mahinang mura ni Warren at binaon ang mukha sa dibdib ko "Make him stop, Irish. I'm tired"

Napangiti ako at hinalikan sya sa ulo "Baby, dad is tired"

Lumapit samin si Wallace at sumandal sa braso ni Warren "Dad, would you be mad if I say that I'm a gay?"

Kita kong napaayos ng upo si Warren at napatingin sa anak namin "Are you gay, son?"

Umiling si Wallace "I just asked"

"Hindi naman, disappointed maybe"

Tumango si Wallace at tinignan ako "How about you, Mom?"

I kissed his forehead "Tanggap kita, baby"

"Mom, I'm just asking. Don't be dramatic"

San kaya namana ng batang 'to ang straight english nya?

"How about if I kissed a girl?"

Napatingin ako sa kanya "You kissed a girl?"

Tumango sya na kinalaki ng mata ko "Dad said if I find a girl that I like, I should kiss her"

"Who is it, baby?" takang tanong ko

"Tito Darwin's daughter"

Si Dawn?

Dawn is two years younger that Wallace kaya pala narinig ko sila ni Warren nagaaway kagabi sa phone

Napasapo ako sa noo ko "Wallace, you're too young---"

"Let her explore, Irish. He's still a kid"

Kinurot ko si Warren sa tagiliran "Kasing sutil mo yang anak mo"

Ginulo ni Warren ang buhok ni Wallace "Piss your Tito Darwin more, son. You did a good job"

I rolled my eyes and rested my head on his shoulder

We're not perfect but we're doing our best

Being a wife and mother is not easy, but if you have a partner that would help you. You will do great things

Warren and I, minsan lang kami magaway. Takot kami na mawala ang isa't-isa. I'm his and he's mine. Just like our vow. 'Till death do us part.

-THE END-
