Chapter 48:Still The One

Walter

We're going to New York today, and Angelica isn't feeling well. I don't know bigla nalang syang sumuka kanina, it was still 5 in the morning when she got up from our bed, I rushed to her when I heard her puke. She didn't eat anything. She's now beside me sitting on our bed.

"Do you feel a bit better now, love?" she shook her head.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I don't feel well, it feels like I wanna puke again, medyo nahihilo din ako"

I'm so worried, she looks pale and she doesn't look well too. Our flight is at 1pm.

"I'll call the family doctor" she just nodded, humiga na sya ulit. I got off our bed and called the family doctor, I also went out of our room to make her some soup.

"Oh hijo ang aga mo yata" I saw mom at the living room, she was drinking hot milk while eating bread. I went to her and kissed her cheek "Good Morning Ma, Angelica isn't feeling well, I just called the doctor, and I'm about to make her some soup, I don't know what's wrong, she puked twice already and nahihilo daw sya"

Mom drank her milk, nagulat ako nang bigla syang tumayo and umakyat sa kwarto nila dad, weird.

So I went to the kitchen, manang asked me why I woke up so early and I told her about Angelica, she was drinking coffee, pero bigla din pumunta sa quarters nila, what is the problem with them? Bigla bigla nalang aalis, I just proceeded on making soup for Angelica.

Angelica

I don't know what's wrong with me today, I wanna vomit, and at the same time I wanna eat something, but I don't know what to eat. Nagulat ako nang pumasok si mama sa kwarto, I call Walter's mom "mama" since she insisted me to call her that. I was about to sit when she stopped me.

"Hija, we need to talk about something, higa ka lang"

She gave me 3 boxes of pregnancy tests. Nagulat naman ako. "Walter told me that you were vomiting"

I was so shocked agad akong bumangon at pumunta sa cr, I did what I had to do and waited. For a couple of minutes, I was breathing heavily.

When I looked at the three pregnancy tests on the sink.

Two red lines…

On each pregnancy tests…

Positive.

I covered my mouth, hot tears started falling down my face, I went out of the bathroom and immediately hugged mama. I whispered "positive" she hugged me back tightly, she then held my shoulders, and wiped my tears, and smiled. We both went downstairs, I was holding all my pregnancy tests. Walter looked so puzzled, he was setting the table, I rushed to him and hugged him so hard while crying.

"What's wrong love?" he asked while holding my face in his hands. I gave him all my pregnancy tests. It took a minute before he went on his knees and started crying, he hugged my legs, and buried his face on my stomach. I kneeled with him and hugged him tightly. "Thank you, love" he whispered.

"I love you, my love" I continued hugging him, he stood up and carried me on his arms, went out of the mansion, and screamed "I'M A FATHER! I'LL BE A DAD!" I was giggling while he was screaming, he placed me gently on the bench, and ran around the mansion, jumping and screaming, he looked like a kid, who just got the best present for Christmas, well, our child is a present from HIM above, and I am very thankful, for the chance he gave for me and Walter, this is just the beginning of the new chapter of the book of our life, we'll still face so many struggles, and I am very much willing to face all of those with Walter. I knew he was the one the moment I saw him, I know it sound silly, but yeah. The moment I saw him on my first day of school, I knew I had to be with him, I knew inside me that I was willing to give up everything for that man, I imagined him wearing a suit arriving at our house, carrying our children the moment he arrives. I imagined myself coming home from work, waiting for me at the porch of our home, giving me a tight hug after a long tiring day at work, building a home with him, a family of our own. We would grow old together. Watch our children have their own children, and watch our grandchildren run around our house during the weekend. Love him until my very last breath. Walter Gray Rivero Arkinson, is his name.

When he went to me after minutes of running, jumping around, he was panting, and just kissed me in the sweetest way he could ever do.

"I love you Angelica. The moment I first saw you at the back of all students, I wanted a family, and it wouldn't be perfect if you aren't the light of that family. I loved you the moment I saw you, and I knew I would spend an eternity with you, and you only. Our love isn't perfect, it's flawed but that's what makes it unique"

I was crying and hugged him so tight. He's right our love is flawed and that makes our love unique, because despite the pain we went through, we still found our way back in each other's arms, we could finally say despite all the pain we'll still be "the one" for each other.
