**START**

They stayed on the balcony to talk things out. Jastine requested a hot chocolate. Kenneth came back holding two cups, one with Jastine's hot chocolate and the other with his black coffee. He put it on the small table and sat beside Jastine. He was about to light a cigarette when his eyes unintentionally went to Jastine's stomach, so he immediately put it down.

That didn't escape Jastine's eyes, and he secretly smiled at how Kenneth was considerate of his situation. His eyes also wander on Kenneth's change in appearance, his long hair, untrimmed beard and mustache, and his tired eyes. It's making him even more guilty.

"Bun, why did you hide it from me?" he asked, pertaining to his pregnancy.

Jastine snuggled to him. "I'm sorry, I got scared. I didn't know how to react," he answered.

"Kailan mo nalaman?" he asked again.

"Three months ago," he answered.

Kenneth hugged him and caressed his baby. "I can only imagine how scared you were, and I'm sorry you felt that way. But I wish you could have told me earlier, para mas naalagaan ko kayo ni baby."

He faced him, "Bum, you always take care of me naman. Never ka naman nagkulang."

"Hmm, yeah, but it's different now. Dr. Sebastian briefly told me na mas sensitive ang male pregnancy, you can't be tired, you should avoid stress, and a lot has happened recently, and god knows how I wish I was beside you while you're going through that." then peck on his lips. "Bunny please, no more secrets anymore, okay?" he said.

Jastine took a deep breath and finally decided to let out all his worries. "No more secrets, bun. So let me start with this one," he smiled.

Kenneth kissed him on his shoulder before hugging him even tighter. "I'm all ears, baby." he said.

He told Kenneth about his encounter with Shane and everything that she had said. And he gave Kenneth the chance to explain himself after.

"Hmm, well...she's right with what she said about me not wanting to have a child, baby, but that was before. And I was glad na ganun ang mind set ko dati dahil kung hindi, wala sana akong baby and baby bunny ngayon," he smiled.

He looked at Jastine. "But bun, honestly, did you ever think na totoo sinabi niya sayo?" he asked.

"Hmm, you abusing him physically and emotionally, no, kasi you have always been gentle. I know you were never a cheater, but it really bothered me when she said that you made her abort your baby, kasi I already know that I'm pregnant na that time, and it scares the hell out of me. Kaya I decided not to tell you right away," he replied.

Kenneth stroked his arms, "I'm sorry I caused you stress without my knowledge."

"Not your fault, actually ako may kasalanan nun kasi I let her fake story have an effect on me. I actually feel sorry for her kasi she needed to make all that up pa just to get what she wants," he said.

"The only truth about her story was that we were together for almost a year, but everything else was a lie; we never lived together, I did not cheat, and I never needed financial aid from her," he explained.
