She Conceived A Morgan's Child

Chapter XXXVII: Crestfallen

Chapter 37

Omniscient

"Bye mum! Take care!"

Rowena sobbed as Fabio's car drove away until the point it was no longer in her sight Pat and Pete hugged her as tries to surpass her tears. She was terrified of her son being away, but she couldn't also decide what to do afraid she would anger Fabio even more. .

She just watches what they're doing from afar. They both couldn't tell Benjamin yet... Rowena tried many times to reconcile, she let him do whatever he wanted even if that made her feel untrustworthy because he would even sleep in the house in the days Benj was in their home. Sometimes he would even send Reuben para bantayan ang galaw n'ya whenever he's too busy and occupied for the meantime.

She knows it's getting confusing for the child because of Fabio suddenly acting this way, but she doesn't wanna act rashly and biglain si Benj about news about his father, being Fabio.

Been four days since they got back home, and Fabio was finally free to bring Benj with him. He make sure his son would enjoy their moments together, he tries to distract him during his treatments all the time but Fabio... Fabio was jealous of Rowena because the only way the child agreed to the setup was because he didn't want Rowena na masaktan habang nakikita s'yang mahihirapan during his treatments.

Fabio admits it's so terrible of him to even ask the child to choose between him or his mommy... However he couldn't help it. He was afraid that if she decides to leave again, Benj wouldn't even think twice and immediately goes with his mum and the only way he thinks that could prevent that was... Building a bond with Benj... Because he knows to Benjamin, he is still some kind of stranger.

"Thanks for accompanying me Uncle Fab, you can drop me off to our ho-"

"How about you stay in my house?" Fabio asked Benjamin.

"But I don't have anything with me and mun is just probably blabbering about allowing me. She wouldn't even allow me to go to just with anyone except Tito Dad-"

"How about you start calling me... Dad instead?" His mouth slipped that made Benjamin stare at him while they're inside the car.

"Are you..." Fabio gulped while sneaking a glance from Benjamin.

"Are you going to marry Mummy?!" The child asked, excitingly. He couldn't say a word, he didn't want to lie but if that's the way to get to Benjamin's good side, so he won't hate him for being not there all those years if he finds out, he would gladly do so.

"We're... A family so I think you should- nevermind. Call me whatever you want to call me. Whatever you're comfortable with," he said and brushed his hair while driving. Benjamin just smiled.

"About staying in Uncle Fab's house... Wait lemme call Mummy-"

"No it's fine. She'll allow you I swear. We'll have fun until after you get some rest. I'll just tell her, and ask Pat if he could bring me over some of your belongings," he told him.

"How about Mummy join us?"

Fabio grip on the stirring wheel tightened. He forced a smile at him.

"I'll try to ask her," he said. Benjamin played a good music on his car while they drive home. It's past four pm, and Benj was amazed sa mga bahay na dinaanan nila. Kakahinto lang ng sasakyan when Benj's phone rang, Fab actually bought the phone for him. Rowena couldn't refuse, or say anything because she felt... She felt it's the only way na pwedeng makapagpalubag sa damdamin ni Fabio. By allowing him and she knows naman he wouldn't do anything that might cause harm.
