JEMA
"welcome home, Zekepot!"They all said in unison
Napa ngiti ako
Sinalubong naman ako kaagad ni Tatay ng yakap
"Welcome home, anak" tatay said
I smiled and showed him Zeke
"Hello po, lolo jessie. My name is Ezekiel Jeremiah Galanza De Jesus"I said
"Ganda ng name ate ah! halatang di ikaw yung nag isip" Mafe said
Sinamaan ko naman siya ng tingin
"Tong si Mafe talaga, kung hindi yung pamangkin yung inaaway, yung ate naman" Sambit ni ate Jia
"Pero seryoso ah, sino nag pangalan?" ate MG asked
"Si Ella. Gusto ko kasi, siya na mag pangalan sa baby namin" Sagot ko
Ate MG nodded as her response
Nag salo-salo lang kami ng niluto ni Ate ly at kyla
Nagluto si Kyla ng lasagna, habang si ate ly naman ay Beef steak and sweet potatoes
"ay umiiyak na yung apo ko"Sambit ni tatay
Tatay's carrying him kasi
Lumapit naman si Ella
"aba, lumapit lang yung dada tumahimik na kaagad"sambit ni tatay
Napa tawa naman kami
Ella's carrying her, kumakanta pa ng lullaby
Nag kwento kwento lang kami about giving birth to Zeke
After a while ay umuwi na rin sina ate Ly
Sina tatay at mafe ay natutulog sa private rooms
Umiiyak nanaman si Zeke
"Andito si mommy, love. Gutom na ang baby?" I said and smiled
Humiga na ako to feed him with my milk
Saktong kaka labas lang ni Ella galing bathroom
"Tapos ka na mag half bath lovelove?" She asked
"Hindi pa love. Pag naka tulog na si Zeke" Sagot ko tumango naman siya at naglakad patungo sa walk-in closet namin
After niya mag bihis ng pajamas niya, Humiga na siya sa tabi ni Zeke
"Can't wait for him to grow" She smiled and touched his cheeks
"Dada! wag mo na guluhin. Sige ikaw yung magpa dede niyan pag umiyak" sambit ko
Napa tawa naman siya
"I love you, Lovelove. Thank you for giving me chance to prove myself to you. Na maka bawi sayo, and kay Zeke" Sambit niya
Napa ngiti ako at hinalikan siya sa labi
"we love you too, Dada. I've seen you grow, and nag bago ka na talaga" I whispered
She smiled and kissed my forehead
Morning came, and bumaba na kami ni Zeke
"Good morning lovelove, good morning zekepot! Wait I'm cooking pancakes for mommy and Tatay" sambit niya
Napa ngiti ako at umupo sa sofa para maka lean
"Hello our little love,Mommy's here. I'm your mommy. And your Dada's cooking for us" I said
I saw him smiling kaya napa ngiti rin ako
"Lovelove! Ngumingiti na si zeke" Sigaw ko
Tumakbo naman siya papalapit samin
Muntik pang madapa
She was smiling from ear to ear
"really?" Sambit niya
I nodded and looked at him again
"Ayan na yung dada mo anak" I said
Ezekiel smiled again when I mentioned his dada
"Hi anak, Dada's cooking food pa. Wait for me ha? I'll carry you later after" sambit niya
He pouted and sobbed
"Ayan na, Ella kasi. Bahala ka dyan" Sabi ko
Walang choice si Ella kung di kargahin si Ezekiel
"Mommy, pwede ikaw na muna magluto for a while?" She said
Tuamngo ako at hinalikan ang pisngi ng dalawa bago naglakad papunta sa kitchen
ELLA
Jema's experiencing post partum
I have to be there for her
She's been experiencing confusions and insomnia
"L-lovelove" Jema sobbed
I went closer to her and niyakap siya ng mahigpit
"I'm here, love. I love you" I caressed her cheeks
Iyak ng Iyak si Jema
Buti nalang at tulog si Zeke
Pinapa bottle feed muna namin si Zeke
Since Jema's experiencing post partum
Jema needs to be taken care too
May pump naman and marami siyang nakuhang milk from her breast
At least, I don't have to worry about Zeke's milk
Si Jema yung wino worry ko
She feels hopeless, she kept on crying every night
Minsan, wala sa mood, minsan din palaging galit
Tapos the other day, She's confused about the pump thing para maka kuha ng excess milk sa breast niya
Minsan, she's confused kung anak niya ba talaga si Zeke or hindi
That's part of her post partum daw sabi ni Doc
She needs a lot of rest
And pag aalaga
That's why I'm taking care of her
While at the same time, Inaalagaan ko din si Zeke
Ako lang dito, umuwi na sina tatay at mafe kasi may trabaho pa sila sa laguna
Our friends know about Jema's post partum
Bibisita nalang daw sila dito to check her well being
Ina update ko din naman sila from time to time
Jia's giving me advices also
Kasi ganyan din daw na experience ni Miguel nung pinanganak yung twins nila
Parang dati lang, Kalaro ni Star yung twins
Tapos ngayon, si Zeke na yung bunso sa dalawa
I looked at Jema, and buti nalang naka tulog na siya
Saktong umiyak si Zeke
Napa tawa nalang ako at lumapit sakanya, Holding his milk bottle
"Gutom na si Zeke?" I said amd let him use his milk bottle
Parang uhaw na uhaw pa si Zeke
I took a video of him and sinend yun sa gc namin
Daming side comments nila kaya napa tawa ako
I saw him sleeping na and saktong ubos na rin yung milk
I smiled and nilagay yung milk bottle niya sa table I lie down beside him and kissed their foreheads
"I love you my bbs. Sleep well" I said and closed my eyes
