Baby 29

"Naku bakit? Anong nangyari kay Yan Yan?" alalang tanong ni Mamu.

"Nahilo po kasi sya kanina tapos nagsusuka."

Napatili si Mamu.

Nabasag yata yung eardrums ko.

"Omaygad! Omaygad! Omaygad!" paulit-ulit na sabi nito.

"Mga vakla! Mukhang napuruhan agad ang pamangkin natin!" rinig kong sabi nya at sabay-sabay silang nagtilian.

Good thing inilayo ko na ang phone sa tenga ko.

"Pasensya na Dominic! Masyado lang kaming naexcite!"

"Okay lang po yun! So paano po, baka bukas na lang kami dumalaw ni Mary Anne."

"Walang problema! Basta alagaan mo ng mabuti ang pamangkin namin at pati na ang baby nyo!"

"Ok po! Bye!"

Napaisip ako sa sinabi ni Mamu Kai.

Is it possible that Mary Anne's already pregnant?

We've only been doing it for a few days...

Ang bilis naman!

I still haven't made her fall in love with me!

And she still haven't said that she loves me.

Still...

The thought of Mary Anne pregnant with our child is giving me a different kind of feeling.

Habang nagpreprepare ako ng soup na lulutuin ko ay hindi na maalis-alis ang ngiti sa mga labi ko.

She can't escape me now!

While waiting for the soup to cook, I decided to do some research on pregnancy.

Hindi ko pwedeng tanungin ang mom ko.

I'm not really sure if she knows.

So I turned to Google.

And found these!

Hmmmm....

Her asking for German sausage, eggs and pancakes for breakfast, cravings na ba yun?

They're usual food for breakfast naman so maybe not!

Náusea and vomiting?

Nahihilo sya kanina tapos nagsuka pa sya.

Check!

Pero pwedeng nahilo lang sya sa gutom at nagsuka sya dahil hindi nya nagustuhan yung sausage.

I deflate at the thought.

Sobrang early pa nga talaga siguro to conclude na nakabuo na kami ni Mary Anne.

Nalungkot naman ako.

But...

Gagalingan ko na lang siguro the next time we do it!

Napangiti na ulit ako.

Sakto luto na ang soup.

Dinalhan ko na si Mary Anne.

She's still asleep.

And she still looks beautiful while sleeping.

I decided not to wake her up and just let her sleep.

Iinitin ko na lang ang soup pagkagising nya.

Marahan kong hinaplos ang pisngi nya.

She smiled.

Akala ko magigising na sya pero tuloy lang sya sa pagtulog.

I decide to call my parents.

Ano kayang magiging reaction nila once they found out about Mary Anne?

Excited at kinakabahan ako at the same time.

I look at my watch.

They're probably having dinner now.

"Hello Dominic? Tell me you called us dahil magpapakasal ka na at magkakaapo na ako!"

Napangiti ako.

"Sana!"

Yun lang at napatili na ang mommy ko.

"Dad! Dad! Come here! We're going to be grandparents soon!"

"Woah! Mom, calm down! Hindi pa nga ako sure if Mary Anne's pregnant already!"

"Wait...Mary Anne? You mean your secretary?"
