Beautiful Mistake

Trixie's PoV

"Fck" rinig kong sambit ni River sitting up the bed

I decided to sleep beside him again after everything that happened between us today.

"What's wrong?" Antok na tanong ko dito

"Sorry did I wake you?"

"No... what's wrong?"

"It's just... my head... my thoughts... they won't shut up. I'd just go down and drink some milk" sambit niya about to stand up but I held his wrist

"W-what's the matter?"

"Lay here"

"What?"

I opened my arms as if welcoming him to lay close to me

"Trixie..."

"Bilis na tsk" sambit ko and he silently followed. Our faces were only inches close and he was staring at me as if unsure with what I'm doing but instead of telling him I kissed his forehead and enveloped him in to a hug.

"Leave my husband's head you bad thoughts" bulong ko as I hug him

"Xie..."

"I'm here mkay? Try to sleep this time?"

"I-I..."

"Where's my hug?"

"Huh?"

"Hug meeee" sambit ko and I felt his arms on my waist right away

"Sleep, hmm?" Sambit ko massaging his head not even sure if this helps. I caused him this mother fcking nightmare so I need to get him out of it myself

River's PoV

I can't even explain how calming this position is to me right now. Her hugging me this tight was my dream for years.

"Try to close your eyes and sleep, hmm?" She said so I did

She taps my back as if lulling me in to sleep. I can't help but hug her tighter but careful because I'm afraid she might want to let go... I've been so afraid to make another mistake... n-natatakot ako na baka... baka pansamantala lang lahat...

I know we said our sorrys and all but... we still lost three years... I still lost them unconsciously. I don't want to do that same mistake again...

"Lift your head... baby don't be scared..." I was shocked to hear her sing but I didn't move kasi baka tumigil siya sa pagkanta

"You'll get by... with a smile... you can't win at everything but you can try..."

She sang the song to me as if she had her own music.

"Boy, I'll stay... through the bad times..."

After that lyric, she paused and her next words made me feel calm and at peace

"I promise... I promise now I'll stay River..." 

Trixie's PoV

I know he's still awake when I sang... but a few moments after my promise... his breathing became heavier which meant that he fell asleep. He needed that assurance. I need to give him that assurance.

I fell asleep after I made sure he was not having nightmares and the next morning inasikaso ko na yung anak namin pati yung breakfast namin.

"Zac, baby?"

"Mommy?" Sambit ng anak ko after licking his spoon clean

"Wanna wake daddy up?"

"Sure mommy!"

"Let's go?"

"Let's go mama!" Excited na sambit nung bata at pagkatapos namin sa kitchen eh dinala ko na nga si Zac sa kwarto namin

"Go baby. Wake daddy up but don't scare him okay?" Bulong ko sa bata and he tiptoed his way towards his father. I helped him up the bed and he crawled up to his father's arms bago tinrace mukha ng tatay niya

"Hmm..."

"Papa..."

"Mm"

"Papa wake up haha"

"Hm... huh? Z-zac?" He opened one of his eyes at nang makita niya yung bata kahit halata mong inaantok pa eh medyo napabangon siya dahil dun

"Good morning papa!"

"G-good morning baby... what's wrong?" Tanong niya looking at me as well

"Papa let's eat breakfast! Mama made them na po!"

"Really?"

"Yep" sagot ko smiling at him

"Wanna sleep some more?" Dagdag ko pa

"No... I... I'm good"

"Okay... ano tara?"

"I'll just wash up..."

"Okay we'll wait for you downstairs" sambit ko sa kanya but he held my hand

"Hmm?"

"Thank you Xie..."
