Thank you
Jaw dropped with eyes wide open I looked at mom and dad.
“Aren’t you happy for you mom and I, Kirsh?” I was pulled out of reverie when dad spoke again.
I smiled from ear to ear and even clapped my hands, “No, dad. Psh. That’s absurd! Of course, I am happy! Congrats!” and I hugged both of them. Dad hugged me back but mom just stays still with a smile I haven’t seen for a long time. And I can’t help but to stare at her, she looks so happy and excited. She doesn’t need to utter a word because those spark on her eyes and the smile she has, she was grateful.
“So that’s the reason for the cake and this feast, huh?” I jokingly said.
“Yeah, actually I just heard the news. I was tired from work then your Mom here has this worried look on her face and it was like all my tiredness was thrown out the window, but then she slowly smiles and tears from her eyes falls endlessly as she handed me the pregnancy test,” dad joyously narrated.
“Yeah?” I asked with smile plastered on my face, but I was wondering.
Why didn’t my Mom told me that when I was telling her my stories? But then maybe she wanted to inform me with dad on her side or maybe she wants dad to know first since it was his sperm.
“Yeah, but we’ll still go to the OB tomorrow to further confirm it and also to know what she should avoid during pregnancy.” I knew what dad wants to say but he still sugar-coat it anyways. And I didn’t want to ruin the celebration we were having by bringing up the past so I happily engaged in conversation with them.
“You know, Gus we should probably shop some baby clothes. Unisex colors will do since it’s too early to know the gender of the baby. And oh, feeding bottles as well,” mom excitedly said to dad.
“Yes, we should do that, love. And also let’s hire men to renovate the other room so we can set there the things for the baby,” and dad even caressed mommy’s tummy and mom holds dad’s hand, “Hey, little human be good to mommy, okay? Don’t give her a hard time and be strong, little bud,” and he kissed mommy’s tummy.
They looked at each other with smiles on their faces as they kissed.
“Ugh! Get a room people,” I interrupted because they’re being too carried away by their emotions, “Mom already has a baby inside her, dad don’t tell me you’re planning to make it a twins,” I jokingly said but dad’s face lit up.
“Is that possible, Kirsh?” he asked me.
“Dad!” and he and mom laughed, “You’re such a pervert, dad,” I added.
“What? We’re married and you know that se— "
“La la la la. I don’t hear anything,” and I covered both of my ears with my hands, “You know if you want to do your thing, I’m out of here. I am not ready to witness those kinds of things.”
“C’mon, Kirsh you’re of age for this kind of things and besides you need to know these kind of stuffs,” he persuaded me and I sneered at him.
“I don’t want to know, dad. Thank you, but I’m fine. It’s not like I’m going to do it anytime soon.”
“Well, we’ll never know when opportunity presents itself,” and he even wiggled his brows.
“Dad! Gosh, mommy do something about dad’s hormone, and his humor,” but they just laughed at me.
This is one side of dad which I don’t know whether to like or not. He kept on telling me that sex education is a must because I’m eighteen already. What he doesn’t know is that I probably knew more than he does. Don’t blame me blame my classmates who opened my mind to those things. I was shocked when they started telling me things.
“But on a serious note, I’m extremely happy for you guys,” I told them.
Dad looked at me with so much happiness that even his eyes were smiling.
“I’ll go upstairs. I still have to study since my class tomorrow are Biostatistics and Biophysics.” I stood up and kiss them both goodnight.
“Thanks for the great food and have a great night. Also, please try to keep it low,” I whispered the last sentence to them.
“Roger that,” and dad even saluted to me.
I shook my head, he’s such a jokester. Before I can even exit our kitchen I was stopped midway because of what I’ve heard.
“Thank you, Kirsh. I know you’ll be a good sister and have a good night,” mom said.
