38-SHEKINA AND SPARKLY PALERMO

Shekina Palermo

   I've been feeling nauseous. I have my morning sickness. Its hard, especially I'm a morning person. I hope Victor is here taking care of me, but I know he don't want to make a mistake again, even that mistake became a blessing in disguise. I touch my Baby bump. It's big now. He's five months already.

"Hi Baby, Good morning. Don't ever think that you're not accepted because in the first place, you're a gift. Your grandparents may gone, but you came. They sent you to us. They left us a beautiful gift. I hope your Tita Saint woke up soon, so that we could start to move forward now. It's been 11 months. She's still sleeping. If you could see her, Baby. You'll surely see a princess. A sleeping beauty. Can you wake her up now, Baby? Can you talk to her and said that we are waiting for her? Can you, Baby?" I feel sad and happy. I can't be so sad. I can't be so happy.

Saints an Angel. She became our cupid. I never thought I'll ended up with Victor. I never planned on having an interest to be in a relationship this time. In my 29 years of existence, it never passes on my mind.

I don't want to have family yet, but Saint suddenly put me in the situation. It's irritating and at the same, it makes me think. I became paranoid and I always over think after she said it.

Victor's features always visiting me, whenever I'm not doing anything. He filled my mind with doubts and hesitation. Yes, he is. He made me confused and at the same time feeling interested. I never like him, because I know he's a gay. A handsome gay. I cringed everytime I saw him looking at me like he's insecured to my beauty. I never thought it's the other meaning.

"Baby, we're so lucky to have your Daddy to us. He's also a gift to me. Your Tita Saint give us a chance that we never expected. It's unexpected. She's really smart for observing it. Her planned is unpredictable and at the same magnificent. You'll meet her soon, Baby. Please stay with me. Stay with us. Hold on tight, Baby. I love you. We love you so much!" I planned on reminiscing again, but a knock interrupted me. I looked at the door with my bitchy face. How dare that human disturbed my time with my Baby. The door opened and Victor came in. My bitchy face became bright. He's smiling beautifully to me.

"Good morning, Love! Good morning Baby!" He kissed my Baby bump and kissed me on my lips. "How's your sleep?" He gently asked. Sitting at my side. Brushing my hair. He's really sweet. I really love being take cared of him. I found a safe place. I found my safe zone. I found my Love. I found him. I smiled to him. Groping his hand on my hair and put it on my tummy.

"It's still the same, Love. Baby, still waking me up early. How I wish you're here to take care of me." He bowed and kissed my tummy again.

"Baby, you're making Mommy restless. Please be considerate. Don't be so excited to go out, it's still early and take your time there. Don't worry, we really love you so much!" He kissed it again and kissed my hand.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him.

"I just missed you, Love and I'm worried about your morning sickness. If only its the right time and it's normal. I would lovely brought you home with me, but it's not the right time." I felt a sadness but I understand. He respect me more. Thats what I really love about him. He's gentle and loving.

"I understand Love. I also missed you. Are you going to work?"

"No, this day is Family day. Where do you want to go?" My heart fluttered as I heard it.

"R-really?" He nodded and smiled to me widely. I slowly sitted. He helped me. I kissed him to his lips and hugged him tight.

"Thank you, Love. You're really spoiling me. I love you." He brushes my hair again. He nodded and chuckled.
