BABY AND A WEDDING![Completed]

Chapter 22

I look at the mirror, my tummy is getting bigger each time I see my reflection. It has already passed my first trimester, I can't believe that I'm 4 months pregnant now.  I can't bear to see myself. I'm getting uglier.

Corset no more, cause everyone in this household already knew that I'm bearing an heir of this duchy.

Magandang bagay na din na kinuha ko si Heidi dahil may gumagawa ng mga bagay na hindi dapat malaman ni Fuchs. 

Kagaya ng paghahanap ko sa tunay na magina ni Fuchs. Halos isang buwan na ay wala padin akong nababalitaan.

"Wala padin bang balita Heidi? Naiinip na akong maghintay." 

"Wala pading balita mula sa guild na iyon Duchess..."

"Then find another information guild."

"Remember that we already tried them all, my grace."

"Haa... This is crazy." bulong ko sa sarili.

"I'm sorry Duchess, please punish me for being so lacking!"

"Lower down Heidi, someone might hear you."

"My apologies!" sabi kong hinaan eh. A whole months got wasted finding someone na ayaw magpakita.

5 months is all that I have before giving birth. 

An abortion may only be carried out up to the 24th week of the pregnancy. Kung lalampas ako, then I will have no choice but to choose death just to give birth. Without machines and technology in this place, mamatay din naman siguro ako kapag nagpalaglag ako na buo na ang bata.

Parehas na napalingon kami ni Heidi nang may kumatok sa pintuan ng silid ko.

"It is I." Fuchs said.

"I will excuse myself now your grace. Have a goodnight."

"Thank you, Heidi."

"My pleasure for the duchess."

Inayos ko ang sarili bago pinapasok si Fuchs. 

"What book would you like me to read for our child tonight wife? I brought plenty with me."

"Anything the Duke likes will do." tutal hindi pa naman naiintindihan ng bata ang binabasa mong theory about the empire, business and politics so who cares. Madalas ay tinutulugan ko lang naman siya. 

It has been like this since I don't remembered when. Nagulat nalang ako isang gabi ay nagpaalam siya na basahan ako ng libro-the baby rather, cause it is what makes a child grow wiser and brighter.

"Then let me read this theory about how the world will come to an end one day." nakangiti niyang sabi. Ahk!

"Should a child be hearing that?"

"Hindi naman niya maaalala, then it's fine."

"Seriously my lord? Then why have you been wasting your energy for nothing every night?" he's opposing his theory about reading books can contribute to the child's intelligence whatsoever.

"My wife's head is hot these days." he chuckled. Napatingin lang ako sa kanya. There were times na nababadtrip ako sa presensya niya dala na din siguro ng pregnancy hormones, but his patience never failed to amaze me. Kung gaano kaaikli ang pasensya niya sa ibang bagay ay ganoon naman kahaba ang nireserve niya para sa akin.

"Fine. Read to your heart's content." Nahiga na ako. Humiga din siya sa tabi ko na siyang hindi na bago sa akin. 

I like how he always finds time to be with me every night, every breakfast, and every dinner despite his busy schedule.
