"Celia." Darcy smiled. "You finally came back, sweetheart."
Darcy took the remaining steps of the grand staircase. I watched him under my hood as he made his way towards me with slow steps, eyeing my wholeness at the same time. His smile never ceased and instead, the more look he got on me, the more it stretched like it'll reach his ears at any moment.
Huminto siya sa harap ko at tumayo lang doon habang pinapadaanan ako ng tingin mula ulo hanggang paa. He inhaled up his nose and released the breath out his mouth right at the same time when his eyes found my gaze.
"Can't wait to see Lucky?" nakangiti niya pa ring tanong. "You didn't even change your clothes. And you're barefoot."
Tinignan niya maski ang tagiliran ko. Umangat ang kamay niya patungo sa hood ng aking jacket. Mula sa likod ay hinila niya ito. Hindi naputol ang tingin namin sa isa't isa. Mas lumawak ang ngiti niya ngayon nang maliwanagan na ang aking mukha.
"Ah..." he breathed contentedly as his eyes traced down to my sticky neck and down to my chest. Ramdam ko ang lagkit ng dugo sa aking dibdib na nanuyo na sa aking damit. "You sure did it."
I gritted my teeth. "Where's my son?"
Tumaas ang isang kilay niya at tinignan ako nang may panghuhusga. "I still have to make sure."
Bigla niyang pinahid ang dugo sa ibabaw ng aking dibdib na malapit ng matuyo. Dumikit ang malagkit na dugo sa kanyang daliri. Habang titig sa akin, nilapit niya ito sa kanyang bibig at dinilaan.
"Hmm..." Kumunot ang aking noo nang manakam siya at parang nilalasahan ang dugo. "Type AB..." he trailed, his eyes looking upwards like he's thinking deeply "...negative." He scrunched his nose, his eyes going back to me. "If I remember correctly, Karma's blood type is B positive. Based on his military record."
Mas lalong kumunot ang aking noo. "What?"
Imbis na sumagot ay tumitig lang siya sa akin habang ang dulo ng mga labi niya ay unti-unting umaangat. I held onto my breath because his light brown eyes became like two half-moons when he squinted while watching my face.
