Chasing Rogue

Chapter Five:
Interaction with the Mission

Rogue

"Sapphire?" Hindi maka-paniwalang tanong ko.

The woman who has been giving me no sleep for a good couple of weeks now was here in front of me for some intriguing reason. What is she doing here? Paano siya nakarating dito?

I swallowed a lump in my throat. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm pregnant." She weakly smiled. "And it's yours." The next line almost came off as a faint whisper.

That's when I lost my balance and fell on my chair in disbelief. Not because I doubt that it was my child that she's carrying, but because of how I got her pregnant while I'm pretending to be my brother.

She probably thinks that Beau Vega, that the rich and handsome CEO got her pregnant. When in fact, it's just me, Rogue Vega, the unknown member of the Vega Clan. She doesn't know me.

"Are you okay Kuya?" Solaire worriedly asked and came up towards me.

"I just need time to process of all of this." I breathed. "Solaire can I talk to her? Alone, please."

"Sure, I'll give you guys some space." She agrees and quickly leaves the room.

That leaves me with her. Just Sapphire. I couldn't fully remember her face but now I guess she started to seem a lot more familiar, I thought the lips that I dreamt of that night was just part of my imagination but I guess it was real.

"So..." I trailed. "How far along are you?" I bit my lip in nervousness.

She blinked a few times before she was able to answer. "About three weeksp or so, according to the OB." She couldn't even meet my eyes, I guess she's really shy. The opposite of the Sapphire I met that night.

"Are you not even going to ask if this is yours?" Natatawang tanong niya. "I was expecting you to cause a scene. Tapos sasampalin kita sa mukha at sasabihin na sayo nga 'tong dinadala ko." She cutely laughs whilst pointing at her belly that was still very flat. She isn't showing any signs of pregnancy just yet.

Her remark also caused me to laugh, but I was still shocked about the news. I really didn't think I'd ever see her again, let alone pregnant with my child. I didn't know how to handle this.

"So, what's your plan?" I asked in a flat tone but she seemed scared for some reason. Was I that intimidating?

She choked on air and I stood up worried. "Are you okay?" I came up to her with a worried frown.

"Yes..I'm fine." She stops me from coming in close and catches her breath.

"Was the question too shocking?" I chuckled.

"I guess so." She nervously chuckled as well.

I gave her a water bottle that I opened beforehand and leaned against my desk facing her while she sat on one of the sofas in front of me.

"I'm sorry for not using protection that night, I don't even know if you want that baby or not but even so, I became irresponsible." I said with a lot of guilt. "I can vaguely remember how we ended up doing it either. Sorry talaga."
