CONTINUATION
I was rushing when I saw Ate Janet infront of the emergency room. Her hands clasping to each other. When she finally noticed me, she broke down in tears. "Sir."
"What happened?" agad na tanong ko. I tried stopping myself from freaking out but it won't work. It's Dennise and our baby inside that freaking room. How can I calm? This is the second time.
"Tinawag niya ako kanina. Akala ko may iuutos lang. Yun pala namimilipit na siya sa sakit sir. Paiyak na siya noong makita namin ni Manang Cely." paliwanag niya.
"Nag spotting siya?" hinihingal kong tanong. Ate Janet's hands were shaking as well. I took a deep breathe and exhale strongly.
"Opo sir. May mantsa ng dugo sa bestida niya kanina." sagot nito. Tumango ako bilang sagot at hindi na nag-abala pang magsalita. I went to the nearest chair outside the hospital and let myself cool down.
Few more minutes at nagdatingan ulit sina Deb. Kaniya kaniya rin silang upo sa tabi at harapan ko wearing their worried faces. "Na naman?" Jill asked.
"Akala ko it's okay na? Bakit dinugo ulit siya? Oh my god. I hope they are well inside." Pia hissed before heaving a sigh.
"Let's just wait for the doctor. Much better if sa kaniya marinig." Deb added. Sa totoo lang, nahihiya na ako sa kanila dahil pinaglalaanan nila ng oras ang 'pagpunta dito para tulungan ako at si Dennise.

After minutes, two doctors came out of the room. One is an emergency physician and the other is Dennise's OB-GYNE doctor. They are both giving me a passive look. I don't understand.
"Doc? Is there anything wrong? How's my wife?" I questionably asked.
"Uh...your wife is still sleeping inside. We gave her the medications to ease the pain. Kapag gising niya, we will do an immediate ultrasound." her OB informed. I nod my head bago pumasok sa loob.
Ang bigat ng pakiramdam ko.
Masyado naman na atang nahihirapan si Dennise sa 'pagbubuntis niya. Mas dumodoble yung hirap lalo na kapag nasa ganitong sitwasyon pa. Mas masakit para sa akin.
I went to her bed, giving her forehead kisses. I stopped when she flinched and open her eyes. Nang makita niya ako ay biglang 'pag-agos ng mga luha niya.
"Joaquin, I'm sorry. I'm sorry..." she cried. I pulled her for a hug trying to console her back. "I didn't want this to happen...please forgive me. I'm sorry.."
I cupped her face as I wipe her tears continuously falling "Hush, baby, hush down. It wasn't your fault."
She was sobbing. I tried my best to make her calm as possible by just wrapping my arms around her. She thought it was her fault kung bakit nandito siya ulit.
"Am I a bad mom already? T-Tell me nga straight to my face! Why do I have to be h-here? Why do I keep on coming back here? Here in this h-hospital?" She sobbed. Her nose turned into red.
Instead of answering her, I planted a tender kiss on her lips. She cried when I kiss her. I just let her release the emotions until she's finally relaxed.
