Mine Alone!

Chapter 30: 4days

Glen's POV

Oh how I wish you won't scare me like that ever again! Sabi ko sa isip ko. I was watching her sleep and I wonder why she never woke up with all the noise. It was classic! Dahil sa takot kong mawala siya saakin ay buong patrol units siguro ng siyudad ay ipinatawag ko.

I stood up and kissed her lips. I wanted more but I can't. I saw her handbag on the floor and it was messily open.

May umiilaw at dahil sa curiousity ay kinalkal ko ito. I saw her cellphone and there was a reminder for 6am today.

"Take another test"

I felt stupid for a moment then I scavenged her bag. There it is I found 2 bottle of pills. Anti-anxiety and sleeping pills. She never mentioned feeling ill. Or did I not notice.

God! I've been too busy hindi ko manlang siya nakakausap ng matino. But I know.. magbubunga lahat ng inaasikaso ko. Alam kong may pagkakamali ako at kailangan ko itong ayusin.

Namataan ko ang isang ziplock sa handbag and reached for it...

She's pregnant.

I immediately called Dra. Manalastas for an appointment. That was what she meant for the reminder! Take another test! She's not sure. But she should have told me!

I felt furious but at the same time sorry and guilty. Jennifer doesn't know yet about me and Anna. I have to keep it that way.

Jennifer's POV

"Ugh!" I stretched out my arms and rub my eyes. I sat up and opened my eyes revealing a room that's not mine nor Glen's. Did I sleep at a friend's place?

I stood up and saw my handbag on the floor, looked around and remembered this is Glen's guest room. Dang! Dito ako nadala ng pagkahilo ko.

I took my handbag and searched for my phone. Wow! Almost a hundred missed calls and messages! Kawawa naman itong phone konti nalang deadbatt na siya.

It was on mute kaya siguro the battery didn't die of the calls and messages. I yawned and grabbed my stuff para makapag prepare for another day of planning my bestfriend's wedding. Bestfriend. Naalala ko nanaman.

I shrugged my shoulders and tried to convince myself NO. Not yet. No proof = No judgement.

I went straight to Glen's room and felt like throwing up. Da.mn! Naalala ko today was supposed to be my re-test! I ran for the bathroom and took the pregnancy test I bought yesterday from my bag.

Waiting..

Waiting..

Oh gosh!

This is it..

I glanced at the white small test and read the results. Positive.

Naupo ako sa toilet bowl ng hindi alam ang mararamdaman. No. I am not good with children. Oo nurse ako pero bata ang kahinaan ko. I lack patiencr with children and I'm not sure if I am ready to have one of my own.

I took a quick shower to take some time off thinking and got out in 15 minutes. I did my usual routine and wore comfortable clothes.

Its still early. Just 7am so I still have time for breakfast. Speaking of which I thought I smell bacon? Or is it my imagination?

Lumabas ako ng kwarto and to my surprise.. Glen is here!

"Morning love!" He walked in front of me and kissed my lips.

"You smell good!" He winked and pulled me a chair.

Naninibago ako. One day, I see him with my bestfriend... the next day he's back to being sweet like there's no big deal.

Umupo ako sa chair at iniayos niya ito. Bumalik siya sa may counter at kinuha ang niluto niyang bacon and eggs at iniharap ito saakin.

I gave him a blank stare.

"What's wrong?" He asked me as he sat on te chair in front of mine.

"Why are you home? You're supposed to be at work right?"

"I took a day off. A lot has happened last night and you need a lot of explaining to do" his face got serious so as his voice.

"But first.. eat your breakfast" He served me a plate and I had no choice. Gutom na din talaga ako.

"Huwag ka nga! Ang OA mo Glen ha!" Sigaw ko sakanya habang nakaupo siya sa kama at nag aayos ako ng buhok.

"Its true! You can check the blotter form if you'd like" he was smirking and I gave him a death glare. Walang hiya tong lalakeng toh gagawa ng kwento yung di pa kapanikapaniwala.

"Hahaha! Jennifer. You drive me crazy" lumapit siya saakin at niyakap ako sa likod. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I just smiled at the thought of how we are at the moment.

Glen's POV

I can't believe this woman! I went through a lot last night and she doesn't want to believe me. Haay.

We are currently talking to the baker responsible for the wedding cake. Jennifer chose a 3 layered wedding cake. It was actually unique because she chose the design but she requested for the color gray.

Alam ko ito yung tipo ng gusto niyang cake kapag siya yung ikakasal. Nabanggit niya ito dati. And to think that Anna has requested her to decide on everything I think she's actually planning for what she would like on her own wedding.

Napaka ganda niyang tignan. Kapag nagsasalita, naglalakad, hinahawi ang buhok. Napaka perfect. I guess pagkatapos nito ay babalik siya sa mag gowns to check her measurements again.

I plan to take her to the doctor after that. Hindi ko pa siya tinatanong pero alam kong kailangan akong makasiguro.

Because if she's pregnant.. if she really is.. kailangan ko na itong panagutan.

"Are you sick?" Tanong ko kay Glen dahil dinala niya ako sa hospital at wala man lang akong kamalay-malay kung bakit kami nandito.

Marami akong nakikitang mga buntis at naaalala kong may hindi pako nasasabi kay Glen.. ang dinadala ko.

"Not me..you" diredirecho lang siyang naglakad at sumunod nalang ako sakanya. Does he know? Wala akong maalalang may sinabi ako.

Nakarating kami sa room 331 an ob-gyne. Ohmygod. How the hell did he know?!

Pumasok kami sa room and a doctor at her mid-30's smiled as we entered.

"Hi, you're late. I was waiting for almost an hour now" she looked at Glen and stared at me for a while. She has this warm smile.

"You must be Jennifer! Please sit down dear" inalalayan ako ni Glen sa upuan harap ng table ng doctora.

"My name is Dra. Manalastas and I'll be your personal ob gyne" she haven't removed that same smile plastered on her face. I smiled back and took a quick look at Glen. They stared for each other for about a second and she ushered me to stand up.

"Uhm. Excuse me? What is this about?" I had the urge to ask. Naguguluhan na talaga kasi ako.

"I want to make sure" sabi ni Glen. I looked at him wide eyed. Paano niya nalaman?!
