When I Met You | OffNew

Chapter 45

Off's POV

"But babe"

"Tomorrow, I promise. We will visit my doctor tomorrow."

"Pol, as I've mentioned New's vital signs are all good. I cannot give him any medicine, so I agree with him, have him check tomorrow." Mike seconded New's decision. 

My husband caressed my arm and asked me to help him up. 

"I'm fine now,  babe. Come on,  the sooner we finish this,  the sooner I can rest."

How could I win this? I shake my head but still help Newwiee to stand up and hold him close to me. 

"Fine,  but you're not walking alone on the aisle. I'll walk with you."

"That's unusual."

"Well what we have is extraordinary, so let's do it our way."

New smiles and agree with my decision.

"Whatever you want babe."

Yes, our love is one of a kind. Like most couples have, right? 

The music starts as we are on our way to the beach. I can see the worried faces of our families but New just smiled at them. I nod at the wedding planner indicating we should start the wedding.

As we walk on the beach I am able to hear the lyrics of the song. I know it, but I never really bothered to listen to or internalize it, I'm not a romantic person after all.

But each word the singer sings, it's like he is telling the story of me and New.

I look at my husband and press his hand. Does he feel the same way?

"Yes, I know. The wedding planner asked me to tell him how we met and everything. He then said that song fits our story."

I can't help but kiss Newwiee's cheek on our way to the aisle. Our guests were shouting, saying we should wait for "I dos".

That simple gesture makes my husband all red, and hides his face on my back. If not only for the photographer asking us for a photo.

When we are about to say our vows, I call for our son, New is also asking me why?

Nanon stands in the middle of me and New, while I sit down and leveled to him.

"Non, baby, as I've told you, you will always and forever be our baby. Today, I'm not only committing myself to your Dad, but to you as well. I will always be there to support you, be your pillar, your friend. I will love you like how your Dad, Tatay and Mama loves you. I will treat you as my own, and will protect you. I will take care of you and maybe, soon enough, will give you siblings that will love you too. So baby, do you accept me as your Papa?"

"Of course naman Papa, is Dad pregnant po?"

I look at Newwiee, his face turning crimson pink again.

"I will tell you later, baby." Not the right time yet, especially since we are not yet sure, but I hope.

"Okay Papa." With that, Nanon marches his way back to Lola Nene's side.

I hold my husband's hands, looking at him in the eye.

"Babe, Newwiee, at first I thought I fell in love with you…

Newwiee raised his eyebrows about to talk, but I put my finger on his lips and continued.

"But after what we've been through, now I'm certain, I walked into love with you. Just like the colour of the petals we've walked onto I will shower you with love and will try to always make you and our happy.
