The Nutcracker Project [Gen L Society #3]

Chapter 30

The Nutcracker Project

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi sa akin ang nangyayari sa'yo noon, love? Sana natulungan kita-"

I kissed his cheek, cutting him off. Nasa kama pa rin kami ngayon matapos ang ilang round na ginawa namin kagabi. It was a miracle how I managed to survive that.

"Oh, ayaw mo na namang pag-usapan?" Logan remarked, lacing our fingers together.

Inangat ko ang aking ulo para matignan siya sa mata. "I didn't know kung paano ko sasabihin sa'yo... how our baby died because I wasn't healthy enough. What if magalit ka sa akin? What if hindi mo na ako mahalin because of that?"

I swallowed hard after saying that. Even until now, naaalala ko pa rin ang mga panahong yon. Kung natuloy ba ang pagbubuntis ko, makakaya ko kaya?

Logan kissed the top of my head. "Wala kang kasalanan, love. At mamahalin pa rin kita kahit na anong mangyari. Galit lang ako na hindi mo sinabi sa akin."

"Galit rin ako sa'yo," I confessed.

"Ha? Bakit naman? Nagtiis nga ako ng ilang taon bago kita pinuntahan dito. Hindi mo lang alam kung gaano ako nabaliw na wala ka sa tabi ko," sabi pa niya.

"Why did you pretend na ikakasal ka na sa iba?" I confronted him.

He suddenly chuckled. "Ah yon ba. Wala naman akong sinabing ikakasal ako sa iba, di ba? Ang sabi ko lang ikakasal ako. Pero sayo talaga yon."

I shook my head at him, unamused. "I can't believe you still managed to fool me."

"Ikaw lang talaga ang assuming na may iba ako," he teased, touching my nose with his finger.

I let out a sigh.

"Kung magkaka-baby tayo, ilan ang gusto mo?" he suddenly asked. "Ako mga nine."

"What? That many? Ikaw ba ang magdadala ng mga yan sa tiyan mo?" I protested.

"Para isang buong baseball team," he stated, chuckling.

Umiling ako. "No! I'm not having nine kids."

"Paano kung ibigay ni Lord? Tatanggihan mo ba?"

I bit my lip. "Fine. But, if it was me, two is enough."

"Ang damot naman. Dalawa lang?" Logan pouted.

"Yes, hopefully a boy and a girl."

"Sige, pag lalaki, Gio ang pangalan," he suggested.

"Gio? Bakit Gio?" I asked.

He smiled. "Giordan kasi pangalan ni lolo. Siya talaga ang nag-impluwensiya sa akin na maglaro ng baseball. Dati siyang naglaro ng pro sa Dodgers."

Napaawang ang labi ko. "Really? I didn't know that. Gio it is, then."

"Baby Gio," he suddenly hushed, caressing my belly.

I squinted at him. "Are you manifesting it now, Logan Maxwell?"

He smirked. "Please, Lord. Mabait naman ako. Nine babies po ha."

"It's me, The Nutcracker Prince," the toy soldier announced, removing the huge mascot face over his head.

The Swan Princess stared at the guy behind the mascot. "It was him all along. The guy who had been helping me," the princess stated.

"I love you, Swan Princess," the guy confessed, kneeling down infront of her.

"W-What are you doing?" she stuttered in confusion.

"This wasn't part of the script," I stared at Logan habang nakaluhod ang isang paa niya sa aking harapan.
