Masked Reality (#2 of Guilberra Series)✔

Chapter 40

15 weeks have passed and I could feel my belly growing.

Me and Tina took care of the clothes, while Darius and Geisler took care of decorating the room.

Shades of Mint Green and baby Blue were painted across the room, decorated by stuffed toys, a closet and a crib.

I was getting anxious of preparing. What if it won't go according to the plan? What if I don't become a good mother? What if Darius hates me if the child is born, what if---

"Hey! Relax ka lang Amica mea, it'll be fine!" Darius beamed at me. His smile rivaled the sun that was hitting the window, a warm shade of orange lighted up across the room, calming me down.

"We'll get through this okay? I won't let you settle this on your own.." He whispered kissing my forehead.

"You two are so sweet I could literally see sunshines and rainbows." Geisler sarcastically mumbled, earning an elbow from his wife.

"Bitter." Tina snickered.

The four of us were busy during the days while Darius and Geisler extend their work at night leaving   Tina at the condo to tend to my needs.

Mukhang nahihiya na nga rin ako. They have done a lot for me, even before I was pregnant.

They have given me, a family.

A faint ring got my attention, making me sit up on the bed.

I yawn, rubbing my eyes to see clearly. Darius' phone was ringing nonstop, but no Darius could be seen around the room.

"Work nanaman.." I mumbled, laying back down.

The ring did not stop though, which annoyed me.

I'm not really the type to check other people's phones. Especially Darius.

I can't pry into his personal business, and I know I would get trouble if he finds out I checked his phone.

"Gising ka pa? It's already 3:45.." Geisler whispered, leaning in the doorframe.

I turned to him, shocked at his outfit.

He was wearing a white hotdog print long-sleeves, which he paired with flannel pajamas.

"What's with the outfit?" I asked, surprised at his taste of clothing. He rolled his eyes, and sat on the edge of my bed.

"I am tasked to take care of you, so I ask you again why are you still awake?"

I paused for a moment, then stared at him.

"Strawberries..." I mumbled, hearing a faint growl on my stomach. Geisler turned to me, dumbfounded. 

"What?" He asked, well almost gasped.

"I want strawberries Geisler! bingi ka ba?!" I shouted at him, while he just stood there facepalming.

Geisler(Yayyy!)

I stared at the girl in front of me. Is she for real?!

Damn it. I applied to the company to be a secretary. Not a nanny.

She pouted her lips, repeating the phrase "Gusto ko ng strawberries." To me. I just sighed, and left her to find these damn strawberries in the kitchen.

I opened the fridge, finding nothing but an empty box of strawberries. I winced. Jesus Christ. Help me.

"Gin!" I shouted across the kitchen to her room. Her head peeking out of the doorframe to see me holding up an empty box.
