Jhoana’s POV

The day had finally come. 

I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection. My white gown hugged my body perfectly, the delicate lace detail on the sleeves adding an elegant touch. I could hear the soft hum of wedding preparations outside, the sound of people moving, laughing, and making final arrangements. 

I took a deep breath, my hands slightly trembling. 

This is it. 

A soft knock on the door pulled me out of my thoughts. Before I could respond, the door creaked open, revealing Beatriz. 

"Love, ang ganda mo," she whispered, her voice full of admiration. 

I turned to face her, raising an eyebrow. "Bawal ba makita ang bride before the wedding?" I teased. 

She smirked and stepped closer. "Eh paano kung hindi ko mapigilan? Ang ganda mo kasi, love." 

Napailing ako, but my heart was pounding. Beatriz was breathtaking in her tailored white suit, ang poganda ng asawa ko, her eyes locked on me like I was the only person in the world. 

"Bakit parang kinakabahan ka?" she asked, reaching for my hand. 

I exhaled. "Hindi ko alam. Siguro kasi... this is it. After everything, we're finally here." 

She squeezed my hand. "We were always meant to be here, love." 

Before I could respond, another knock interrupted us. "Ma'am Jho, it's time." 

Bea winked. "See you at the altar, Mrs. de Leon." 

My heart fluttered at the sound of my soon-to-be name. Mrs. de Leon

And when I walked down the aisle, with everyone smiling at me, with Bennie holding a small pillow for the rings, and with Bea standing at the end, looking at me with so much love—I knew I made the right choice. 

The moment we exchanged vows, my heart swelled with emotions. 

"Do you, Isabel Beatriz Paras de Leon, take Jhoana Louisse Agno Maraguinot to be your lawfully wedded wife?" 

Bea grinned. "A million times, yes." 

"And do you, Jhoana Louisse Agno Maraguinot, take Isabel Beatriz Paras de Leon to be your lawfully wedded wife?" 

Tears filled my eyes. "Yes. A million times, yes." 

"You may now kiss the bride." 

And with that, Bea pulled me close, sealing our vows with a deep, passionate kiss. 

This is forever.

Honeymoon in the Maldives 

Beatriz’s POV 

Our honeymoon was nothing short of perfect. The Maldives was breathtaking—white sand, clear blue waters, and a villa just for the two of us. Bennie stayed with Mom and Das, so we finally had time alone. 

On our first night, we sat on the villa’s balcony, a glass of wine in each hand, just looking at the stars. The cool breeze kissed our skin as we soaked in the peace of the moment. 

"Ang sarap ng ganito, love," Jhoana whispered, leaning against me. 

I kissed her shoulder. "Mauulit naman ‘to. Lagi kitang dadalhin sa langit," I said then pinalo niya ko

"Aww I mean kasi kung saan mo gusto." baka kasi makalusot tinry ko lang

She turned to me, smiling. "Gusto ko lang naman ikaw." 

Damn. Paano ba ako naging sobrang swerte? 

That night, I made love to her under the moonlight, whispering promises and dreams for the future. 

Two Months Later...

Jhoana’s POV

Hindi maganda yung pakiramdam ko for how many days na so nagtry ako magtest after few minutes I stared at the pregnancy test in my hand, my heart racing. Two red lines. 

I was pregnant. 

I covered my mouth, overwhelmed with emotions. A baby. Another miracle growing inside me. 

Beatriz was in the living room, playing with Bennie. I took a deep breath and walked towards them, clutching the pregnancy test behind my back. 

"Love, may sasabihin ako," I started. 

Bea turned to face me, her expression softening. "Hmm? Ano ‘yon?" 

I bit my lip, nervous but excited. "We're having another baby." 

For a moment, she just stared. "Wait, what?" 

Napakagat ako sa labi, nodding. "I'm pregnant, love." 

Bea sat up instantly, eyes wide. "Jhoana, seryoso ka?" 

I nodded again, smiling. "Yes, love." 

And before I knew it, she tackled me with kisses, hugging me so tightly. "Oh my God, love! We're having another baby!" 

Bennie clapped his hands. "Yay! I'm going to be a kuya!" 

I laughed, watching my wife celebrate like a kid. This is my family. My forever.

Bea leaned down, kissing my stomach. "Hi, baby. This is your Dada. We love you so much." 

I ran my fingers through her hair, smiling. "I love you, Beatriz." 

She looked at me, eyes full of love. "I love you more, Mrs. de Leon." 

Nine Months Later...

The delivery room was filled with tension as I gripped Beatriz’s hand, sweat dripping down my forehead. 

"You got this, love," she whispered, pressing a kiss on my knuckles. 

I groaned as another contraction hit. "Beatriz, ang sakit!" 

She winced but tried to stay calm. "I know, love, pero konti nalang! Malapit na!" 

With one final push, the sound of our baby’s cries filled the room. 

I gasped, tears streaming down my face as the nurse placed our daughter on my chest. Beatriz kissed my forehead repeatedly, tears in her eyes. 

"You did it, love. Ang galing mo," she whispered. 

I looked down at our baby girl, her tiny fingers grasping mine. "She’s perfect." 

Bea gently caressed our daughter's cheek. "Hi, baby. This is your Dada." 

Bennie, who was waiting outside, came rushing in with her mommyLa. His eyes widened when he saw his baby sister. "Wow! Mommy, she's so small!" 

I chuckled, nodding. "Yes, baby. This is your little sister." 

Bea smiled, wiping her tears. "Meet Beatriz Jiana de Leon. Our little princess." 

I looked at my wife, completely in awe of everything we built together. From takot ko ipaglaban, to building a family filled with love. 

Bea leaned in, kissing my lips softly. "I love you, Jhoana." 

I smiled against her lips. "I love you too, Beatriz." 

And as I held our daughter in my arms, with our son beside us and my wife kissing my forehead, I knew—this was the love story I always dreamed of. 

A love that lasts forever.
