SC: Pregnancy Journey (I)

...

It was Monday morning. Irene woke up with a smile on her face. She then looked at the man who was sleeping beside her. "Good morning, pogi!" She exclaimed, showering her with kisses.

Greggy groaned and slowly opened his eyes. There he saw his wife's beautiful smile. "Good morning.." he answered and kissed her forehead.

Irene just giggled and climbed out of bed. "I'm going to cook breakfast. Sunod ka na lang don ha." She said as she entered the bathroom and did her morning routine.

She then went to the kitchen after that. Irene thought of cooking adobong pusit and sinigang na baboy since she was craving that when she woke up earlier.

Right after she cooks, the twins and Greggy smelled the food and immediately went to the kitchen.

The twins frowned as soon as they saw the food being served at the table. They were confused. Greggy was also confused but managed to control his reaction.

"Ayaw niyo ba sa luto ko?" She asked, her eyes starting to fill with tears.

The twins shook their heads. "So, ayaw niyo nga?" Irene's voice cracked. Greggy held her hand.

"N-no. I mean, ano mommy. We're just confused kasi it's breakfast tapos yung niluto mo pang lunch." Fiona answered.

"Eh diba, light meal mga breakfast na gusto mo?" Clara added. Irene wiped her tears. "K-kung ayaw niyo. Okay lang naman, magpapaluto nalang ako kila manang." She smiled, bitterly.

"Of course, we want what you cook mommy. Why are you crying?" Fiona asked.

"Ayaw niyo diba?" Irene replied. Greggy pulled her and made her sit on his lap. "Gusto namin, nagtaka lang ang mga bata. Masarap ka kaya magluto." He said, softly.

"Si mommy talaga iyakin. Halika na kumain na tayo. We're getting late." Clara said and started to dig in.

Greggy went to her and wiped her tears. "Don't think of it, hon. Nagtaka lang ako—kami. I love you.." He said and kissed her forehead.

Irene just nodded. She watches the twins eating the food that she cooked. "Mommy, we love it. Now, eat na." Fiona smiled. Irene then started to eat.

After they finish eating their breakfast, the twins bid their goodbyes to them since they already prepared themselves before having their breakfast.

"Mom, dad. we gotta go. Sa Taguig kami na company pupunta ni Clara." Fiona told them. Greggy nodded.

"Okay, sige. Mag-iingat kayo, call me if something happens." Greggy replied. The twins nodded, waving their hands before exiting the house.

It was Irene and Greggy who left. "Pa'no ba 'yan, hon. Aalis na din ako maya-maya. Do you need anything before I leave?" Greggy asked, parting her hair.

"Maaga akong uuwi mamaya. May gusto kang puntahan? Ah, dalawin natin si Andy?" He added but Irene just stared at her.

"Irene?" He frowned. Irene started to sob. "Bakit mo ako pinapagalitan?" She asked.

"Huh? pinapagalitan? sinong pinapagalitan ko? e, nagtatanong lang ako kung may pupuntahan ka mamaya kasi dadalawin natin si, Andy." He replied, leaving so confused at what she said.

"You're scolding me, aren't you? You don't love me anymore? Hindi naman kita inaano, ah." Irene sobbed. Nataranta naman si Greggy. He was confused and even rethink of what he said to her.

"I'm not scolding you, look, Irene. I'm just asking where you wanna go later kasi maaga akong uuwi." Greggy replied.

"Nagagalit ka e. Hindi mo man lang ako ngitian. T-tapos k-kanina, paggising mo wala pa akong natatanggap na halik sayo." Irene bowed her head, crying.
