I ran to Mommy and immediately hugged her, overwhelmed with emotions. I had to come to the hospital because last night I couldn't sleep, and I was worried that I might be pregnant. I'm not sure if it's true or what, but if I am pregnant, then I need to be careful. I don't know how to tell Azrael about it.
Will he freak out? Oh, sure he will, as OA as he is.
"Calm down, Au, what happened? Are you okay? Bakit ka nandito?" Mom asked me. I saw how worried my mom was. Umiling ako habang umiiyak.
"Mom... I think I'm pregnant" I whispered unsurely. I heard Mom chuckle. Para bang wala lang kay Mommy ang sinabi ko. Hindi manlang nagulat or what.
"O? What's wrong with that? Bakit ka umiiyak?" Mom asked again and smiled. Kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap ni Mommy at humarap ako sakanya. Tears flowing down my cheeks.
"Mom, I'm pregnant" Paguulit ko. "I'm pregnant! At dahil sa pagbubuntis ko hindi ko na naman matutuloy lahat ng gusto kong gawin. Lolo's plan for me, 'yung plano namin ni Lolo, lahat ng 'yon wala na naman" I cried so loud.
"Your Lolo will understand and it doesn't matter now, Autumn, ang mahalaga e yung pinag-bubuntis mo. Your baby, so relax and I'm going to check you up—wait sino pala yung ama?" Tumigil ako sa pag-iyak at pinunasan yung luha ko nang tanungin iyon ni Mommy. Ang huling ala-ala nila sa amin ni Azrael ay break na kami.
"Mom, I still-"
"Sorry for asking" Mom smiled and caressed my cheeks. "Alam ko namang si Azrael lang so bakit pa ako nagtatanong" Natawa si Mom at napailing.
"H-Hindi ko alam Mom kung kailan ko sasabihin kay Azrael..." I said while lying on the hospital bed and Mommy was giving me an ultrasound.
"Don't pressure yourself, Darling" Mom said, giving me a warm smile "Kung kailan ka handa, doon mo sabihin. Hindi naman kailangan madaliin, as long as you're okay."
Mommy and I both stopped when we heard a little heartbeat. Hindi pa malinaw iyon, mahina lang but... but, I'm really pregnant! I don't know but tears flowed when I heard my child's heartbeat. Mom's teary-eyed, too. Oh my god! I'm a Mom. I'm a mother now.
"Mommy" I held Mom's hand and we were both crying.
"You're a Mom now, My Autumn" Mom hugged me while sobbing. "I can't believe it! My children are parents now"
"Mommy..." I kept on crying while Mom hugged me.
"Shh... Darling, you'll be a great Mom" Mom whispered to me. "Just don't make stupid decisions like me" She assured.
I went home after my check-up with Mom. May kasama na akong body guard ngayon dahil utos ni Mommy, for protection daw kapag hindi ko kasama si Azrael and sabi rin ni Mom na hindi raw muna niya sasabihin kay Daddy o sa mga kapatid ko. Okay na rin siguro na si Mom ang nilapitan ko kasi s'ya yung pinaka makakaintindi sa'kin ngayon.
"Au!" Napalingon ako sa gilid ko when someone called me. It's Vicus, bakit s'ya nandito sa hospital? Nagtataka kong tinignan siya pero agad napawi iyon at napalitan ng ngiti.
"Vi" I called him. Lumapit s'ya sa'kin.
"Kasama ko si Mom, nagpacheck up. How about you?" Vicus asked me. Napalunok ako at nag iwas ng tingin. God!
"P-pinuntahan ko si Mommy" Kinakabahan kong sabi. Should I tell him? Kailangan ko ng mahihingan ng tulong. Itrust Vicus the most. He's a very very good friend. He's harmless, kahit pa noon ay pinagseselosan siya ni Azrael but he's a good man.
I looked and smiled at him "C-Can we talk?"
"Ah, tungkol saan?" His brows furrowed. Tila binabasa niya ang mga mata ko
