Chapter Twenty Three

Start from the beginning
                                    

"You know what, para makabawi ako sa inyo dalawa, I'll give you a free check-up. Aren't you pregnant, Chlea?"

"You're pregnant? And you haven't told me yet? Sa ilang oras nating mag-kasama?" Pius squinted his eyes at me. Tumaas ang dalawang kilay ni Kesha sa pagkagulat na hindi rin alam ng pinsan niya.

"You didn't know? I thought they reported it to you?"I nonchalantly asked. 

"Obviously, they haven't." Pius' eyes rolled. 

He was obviously disappointed dahil naunang pang nakaalma ang tao sa palagid kaysa sa kanya. Siya nga naman ang tatay. 

"Well, they probably didn't want to spoil the fun." I shrugged my shoulders. All along I thought he knew.

"Come on, Chlea. Change into a patient's gown." Binuksan ni Kesha ang pinto ng examination room, pinapapasok na ako. 

Kesha made me open my legs and draped some clothe on it. She put the transducer probe inter-vaginally.  May kung ano siyang pinindot sa machine at maya-maya ay makita na kaming imaging. 

"That's my another pamangkin right there. You are on your 4th week of pregnancy, Chlea." Sinundan namin ang bawat sabihin ni Kesha.

I looked at Pius' reaction. Hawak niya ang isang kamay ko at paulit-ulit na hinalikan iyon, tutok ang mata niya sa monitor. I understand, he wasn't there when it was still Lucas who was still growing inside me.

At least now, he is here. He will be able to witness everything. And I'm excited to share those moments with him and Lucas. For sure, they will be a good daddy and good brother. 

"My pamangkin is healthy, nothing to worry about. Just don't stress yourself you know that consequence of it. Let Pius handle it,"Mahina nitong tinapik ang tyan ko upang sabihing tapos na kami.

"I'll just prescribe you vitamins. I'll leave you two here." Lumabas na si Kesha at iniwang kaming dalawa. Maybe she sensed Pius and I need our little private time together. Pare-pareho naming alam na espesyal ang oras na ito. 

Bumaba ako mula sa kama at inalalayan ako ni Pius. Pumunta ako sa harapan niya upang ipatanggal ang pagkakatali ng gown sa likod. Siya na mismo ang nag-hubad ng gown mula sa likod ko. Dumausdos ang kamay niya sa mga braso ko.

I was about to reach my clothes when he grabbed me by my waist. Umatras ang katawan niya at sumandig sa kama. I was between his legs, trapping me like his arms.

Hinawi niya ang buhok ko at nag-simulang halikan ang batok ko. Sinabayan pa niya ng pag-guhit ng kung ano-anong linya sa tyan ko. My toes curled because of the anticipation. Nakadagdag pa ang lamig ng paligid dahil wala akong suot kundi ang panloob ko lamang.

"P-pius, not here." Saway ko sa kanya. Parang alam ko na kung saan pupunta ito. I don't want to bless Kesha's clinic. 

"We will not do anything. Let me just cherish this moment." Hinilig niya ay ulo niya sa aking balikat. His lips where unintentionally brushing against my skin. 

"Thank you for carrying our second child. You are now again my pregnant baby-mommy." He whispered against my nape. Ang init ng hininga niya ang nagpatayo ng balahibo ko. 

The intensity of his effect on me will never change. Until now, he can make my knees turn jelly.

This was a very special moment for us but I decided to interrupt it. "Sure ka na dyan? Na sa iyo itong dinadala ko?"

My body stiffened when he bit my ear suddenly. "Don't piss me off, baby. You won't like me mad."

But he looked so hot when he was mad earlier. I want more of angry daddy Pius. I pouted. My pregnancy hormones are really playing with me today.
