Instant Mommy

Chapter 23

"Baby, be careful!" I watched Jayden stumble while running towards his backpack when we heard a loud honk outside.

Aakma pa lang sana akong tatayo para lapitan siya nang bigla akong hilahin ni Jacob pabalik sa hita niya.

"Jacob," sita ko habang sinusulyapan siya.

Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin nang hindi niya pa rin ako binibitawan. Nakapulupot ang isang braso niya sa bewang ko.

"Bitaw." Marahan kong hinampas ang kamay niyang nakapulupot sa akin.

He only looked up at me with that annoyingly amused smile on his face, as if he was enjoying teasing me.

"Baby, bitaw na kasi," I hear him sigh in defeat before letting go of me. I chuckle before bending down to give him a quick kiss on the lips.

I felt his hand hold my nape depending on our kiss. He let out a soft groan when I pulled away from him. He gave me a playful glare when our eyes met, making me laugh.

"Mommy, can I just not go?" Jayden gave me a pleading eye while holding my hand trying to charm me.

"Margo will be sad if you won't go, baby." I smiled before crouching down to his level, marahang inaayos ang magulo niyang buhok.

Susunduin si Jayden ng mga Saavedra para pumunta sa resident nila. Today is one of Jayden and Margo's scheduled playdates and Margo's mom requested to do it in their house today.

Margo's mom is an actress so she rarely has time to spend time with her son but she can't take the risk to go outside so she asked us for a favor.

Nilingon ko si Jacob ng maramdaman ko ang pagpasada ng kamay niya sa likod ng ulo ko. Tumayo na ako ng abutin niya ang bag ni Jayden at buhatin ang anak niya.

Jacob smiled before gently rubbing Jayden's back.

"You promised Margo you'd play with him, didn't you?" He patiently reminded him.

"You shouldn't break a promise, big guy."

"But I want to stay with you and Mommy," mahinang reklamo niya habang mas lalo pang isiniksik ang mukha sa balikat ni Jacob.

"Hey." Bahagya niyang inangat ang ulo ng anak niya para magtama ang tingin nila. "We won't go anywhere. We always spend time together, remember?"

Tahimik lang si Jayden.

"We're going to fetch you later," Jacob continued reassuringly. "Promise."

"...Promise?" mahinang tanong ni Jayden habang pasulyap-sulyap sa aming dalawa.

Lumapit ako at marahang hinaplos ang buhok niya.

"Promise."

Ngumiti ako bago siya hinalikan sa noo.

"We'll be there before you know it."

Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas bago tuluyan naming nakumbinsi si Jayden na sumama sa sundo niya.

Paminsan-minsan ay lumilingon pa siya sa amin habang naglalakad palabas ng bahay, parang gusto pang umatras. Napailing na lang ako nang mahina.

Mas naging clingy si Jayden sa amin simula noong mahuli niya kami ni Jacob na magkayakap.

It was actually a pretty funny story. Inaway niya pa ang daddy niya because he thought Jacob was hogging me all by himself. He got pretty jealous about it cause he thinks we are always hugging when he is not around so now he wont leave us alone.

"Sorry, Migo. Naghintay ka pa rito." I gave him an apologetic smile paglabas namin ng bahay.

Napatawa lang siya at umiling bago inabot ang backpack ni Jayden mula sa akin para ilagay sa loob ng sasakyan niya.
