"I don't think I can keep it if he can't accept it. If he's like this before the baby is born, I can't imagine what will happen after I give birth. Honey, I....... I'm so tired, what should I do?"Adwika asked with tears in her eyes and Thanong cupped her face.

"Dear, he's........ he's a teenager. It's just his hormones are acting up. Besides, he's been alone all his life. I think he's just afraid of suddenly sharing everything he has all alone for himself, including our love for him. It's quite natural. I think he needs some time. We just have to make him beleive that our love for him will never change and that we'll love both of them equally"

"But when a baby Is born,you know we'll give it more care. Honey......."Adwika looked so confused and nervous.

"Can you please not worry? It'll only harm our child. We can't be selfish and take away a life. Besides I have a feeling that when the baby is here, everything will be fine. Sarawat just needs time for himself to adjust and after the baby is here, we'll see him loving it more than us. He's our son,right?"Thanong asked as he hugged Adwika.

They both loved Sarawat so much that they could risk anything for him. But Thanong couldn't just nod yes to Adwika being worried and thinking about aborting the baby. It's a life either way and it is their child too.

Sarawat sat on the ground and looked at the moonlight coming into his room from the big window as if trying to comfort him from being scared of the dark.

His father getting angry at him was so sudden that he couldn't accept it. All his life,his parents had never been like this to him. So he naturally tends to beleive that it's all the fault of baby which lead him to hate the baby even before it's born.

No matter what,he was never going to like that baby,ever. He promised to himself.

Yon had a hard time convincing Sarawat to come down for breakfast the next day.

Sarawat was already sitting and waiting for his parents to come down and join him.

"Oh, goodmorning Wat, I thought you would sleep a little more"Came his father's voice and he looked up to see his father and mother walking down to him with a smile.

"He's bright like a sun, how could he not wake up early,right,my son?"Adwika asked smiling brightly and Sarawat forced a smile and looked at his parents sitting down.

"And I guess one sun isn't enough"Sarawat said not looking at his parents whose smile had dropped.

"Of course there can only be one sun"Adwika said and Sarawat looked at her.

"But there can be one moon too,right?"Thanong asked and Sarawat scoffed.

"And which one do you love the most? The sun, or the moon?"Sarawat asked and Adwika looked at Thanong.

"Both, equally"Thanong said and Sarawat gave him a bored look.

"Both have their own importance and both are equally essential for us.........how can we love moon more than sun and vice versa?"Thanong asked and Sarawat just looked away.

His hand was placed on the table and while Thanong served the dinner,Adwika placed a hand on top of Sarawat's.

"Wat.........we love you.......we really do, don't turn your face away from us"

"If you love me so much, then what's the need of another one? Are you afraid I'll leave you both one day so you need another? In that case, I promise, I'll never let you both alone. Can't it just be me-"

"Wat, I'm sorry for getting angry last night. But it's already happened. Whether you can understand it or not, it's a life. And you were once like it within your mother. Think about it, if we had a baby before you and he asked us to get rid of you............if you could hear,how hurt could you be. It's a life,and we've made our mind. You'll both be the same to us"Thanong said and Sarawat silently listened.
