Chapter Seventeen: I Can Live With That
.

.
ELLE's in-laws and her little brother Andre, visited the newlyweds in Island Restaurant. Busy si Elle sa pag-aasikaso sa mga kustomer kaya naman si Nick lang ang nakakausap nila Augustus at Rachel buong tanghalian.
Elle sat by her husband's side after taking care of the customers. Kinurot niya ang pisngi ng kapatid at nginitian ito.
"Miss mo ba ako, Andre?"
Ngumiti si Andre sa kanya. "Yes, Ate! Mommy Rachel gave me Kuya Nick's toys and I slept in his room the whole month!"
Elle pinched Andre's fluffy cheek before looking at Rachel Morgan. "Sorry po kasi kayo ang nag-aalaga kay Andre."
Rachel waved her hand. "I told you, we love Andre. Don't mind him. Mabuti nga at may bata sa bahay. Mas tumibay ang pagmamahal ko kay August."
Elle threw a glance at her father-in-law. Namumula ang tenga nito at nag-iwas ng tingin.
Elle knew that look! She's exactly like that whenever she remembers Nick and their wild doings!
Bigla na ring namula ang pisngi ni Elle. "Mabuti naman po pala kung gano'n."
Rachel giggled. "Ang saya talagang madiligan—"
"Mom!" Nick warned her mother. Nanlilisik ang mata nito na nakatingin kay Rachel.
"Oops! Sorry." Rachel grinned and threw a glance at Augustus. His mother isn't a bit sorry at all. Nick, on the other hand, massaged the bridge of his nose.
"May apo na ba kami?"
Nanlaki ang mata ni Elle. "A—Ano po?"
"Don't tell me you didn't check?" It is Rachel Morgan's turn to frown at Nick, totally ignoring Elle's crimson-red cheeks "You didn't buy the pregnancy test kits like I told you!"
Elle immediately diverted her attention at her husband. They've been having sex without protection. Gusto ba ni Nick na bumuo ng pamilya? Not that she's opposed to the idea. She wanted to have a family but...
She waited for her husband's response. His lips pursed before answering, "Mom, please stop meddling with my married life. I'm not a kid anymore." Nick held his mother's hand across the table. "We hope that we could have a little bit of privacy."
"Nikos is right, honey," Augustus commented. "He's married now. They needed privacy. "
To their surprise, Rachel sobbed and threw herself in her husband's arms. "August! You know how much I love Nikolai! He's our baby boy. How dare you say that!?"
Augustus Morgan mouthed 'sorry' to the customers that overheard Rachel's tantrum. Rachel lightly rammed the side of her fist against her husband's chest.
"Mommy Rachel, I'm here. I can be your new baby." Andre raised his hands.
Rachel bawled her eyes out and pulled away from her husband's embrace, reaching for Andre. Niyakap nito ang bata at humagulgol.
"By the way, Elle, dear." Augustus cleared his throat. "Are you planning on having children?"
Elle was strucked by the question that her mouth fell open and hesitated to answer. "H-Hindi ko pa po alam."
Nick frowned and threw a confused gaze at Elle. She gulped.
"But I'm not against the idea of having children."
