Her lips; an ART

Chapter 59

Yvaine's POV

Looking back at how my life's been lately feels surreal. I've never thought that 'good life' actually exists until I met her. She was an unexpected romance, my first in everything, the one who changed my perspective of true love and the one who saved me from my suffering and trauma.

I couldn't be more grateful to Kale because she taught me so many things. At wala akong pinagsisihan na siya ang pinili ko. Out of all the people who tried being with me I still chose her. Walang pagsisi doon.

And seeing her right now, with our new born. Our Kaleah Eyva.... warms my heart.

"Sleepy na yung baby ko na yan? Or hungry na? Tulog pa si mommy baby eh" rinig kong kinakausap niya ang anak namin.

"Love," bulong ko.

Nasa hospital pa din kami dahil yun na din ang sinabi ng doctor. It's not really easy to give birth to a child. Lalo na kung kasing lusog ng anak namin. I really had a hard time pushing her out, even Kale was gasping. Pakiramdam siguro niya ay siya ang nanganganak. I literally passed out after I heard her cry for the first time.

Nagising nalang ako a day after I gave birth. I was whimpering the moment I wake up. Masakit pa ang sugat ko kahit isang linggo na nung makapanganak ako. Kale was both the one who carries and take care of me. Awang-awa na nga ako sakanya minsan pero she looks responsible at wala akong reklamong nakikita sakanya.

"Oh, look baby! Our mommy's awake..." naramdaman ko ang paglapit nila sa higaan ko.

"Gutom na ako baby..." bulong ko.

Umayos ako ng higa at sinubukan kong umupo. Every move was a little less painful unlike the past days. I'd say Kale is a good nurse, mas magaling pa sa nurse ng hospital na ito.

"You still can't eat solid right now... you want me to order soup?" she carefully asked.

Inabot ko si Kaleah sakanya, she smiled and handed our baby. She was beaming like there's no tomorrow.

"Hi, little bean..." bulong ko.

She cutely yawned... my eyes teared up. I don't know why my emotions are becoming so mixed up. Siguro parte pa din yun ng pregnancy ko.

"You saw that baby? She smiled at me!" excited kong sabi.

Kale chuckled, "I saw everything baby... why are you crying? Masakit ba kapag nadadaganan?" nag aalalang tanong niya nung mapansing may luha ako sa mga mata.

Umiling ako, "No. I'm just so happy kahit mahirap ang manganak. It's all worthy"

Hinaplos niya ang aking buhok at ilang beses na hinalikan ang aking ulo. I smiled at her and pouted the seconds after.

"Why?" she curiously asked.

"Where's my food? I told you I'm hungry baby" reklamo ko.

"I'll call Kathy... dadaan din naman siya dito para papirmahan ang ilang papeles galing sa opisina. Soup lang baby?"

"I want some salad too baby... caesar nalang but ask them to slice the ingredients thinly" paalala ko.

She nodded her head, "Stay here... I'll just make a call then"

Nung umalis siya ay tinitigan ko ang anak namin. Her skin is fair, she got her eyebrows and nose from her mom while her eyes and lips was from me. Her face is really small too. Ang nakakatakot siya minsang hawakan dahil namumula ang kaniyang mga balat.

Nagdilang anghel si Kale noong tinanong ko siya. Almost all of the features she wanted our baby to have became real. Malakas lang siguro yung genes niya kaya ganun ang nangyari.
