"Ara, is everything alright? Ready ka na?" I heard Thomas called.
"Sandali lang," I answered.
Thomas, Tyrone and I are going to the Tengs for Jeron's birthday celebration. I am still in the bathroom because of #preggyproblems. Medyo polyuric po ako ngayon at madalas kailangan mag-CR.
After I'm done, I went out of the bathroom and found my husband seated on the bed tinkering something on his phone.
"Ready na po ako," I said to get his attention.
He looked up and smiled. Hay, this husband of mine has the same exact expression whenever he looks at me. He looks at me like I'm the most precious gem in the world that he couldn't help himself from loving me so much.
"Everything alright?" he checked and walked towards me
"Yes po," I said and touched his face.
As usual Thomas is very careful with me. He checks everything from the most trivial thing up to the littlest detail when it comes to me. I'm already on my 8 month and I look like I ate 5 Mikasa balls. My tummy is extremely huge for my gestational age. I appear like I'm already due but I still have a month to go, though understandable because I have twins. In lieu of this, I am easily fatigued, my back aches like hell, my legs hardly function and I can barely move. And then of course, these all equate to Thomas being alert 24/7.
"Let's just bring a car. Para hindi ka na mahirapan," Thomas said as he positions his hand on my back to support me.
Though Mika's house is just a couple of blocks away, I really can't walk that far.
"Tyrone, let's go," Thomas called when we passed by Tyrone on our way out.
I saw on the peripheral vision that Tyrone stood up from the couch and ran to my side. "Babe, I'll carry your bag," he offered.
Aww ang sweet naman ng mag-ama ko. I brought a small shoulder bag for some essentials.
"Thanks Babe," I said and handed him my bag.
Thomas and Tyrone were assisting me the whole time until we reached the Teng residence. The house is filled with people from Mika and Jeron's family plus a few friends. Intimate dinner lang daw to sabi ni Mika kasi yung big celebration sa weekend na lang daw. Alam niyo na, Jeron Teng yung may birthday.
"Oh dito na si buntit number 2," Kim announced when she saw us. Then everybody greeted us.
We joined Cienne, Arnold, Carol, and Kim on their table. I can't see the others. They're just around, maybe. Thomas helped me to a chair then he sat beside me while Tyrone took the seat on my other side.
"Ayos mga bodyguard mo ah," Carol commented when she noticed my boys.
"Sweet nga eh," I said.
"Parang gusto ko na rin ng baby boy," Cienne added.
"Edi gawa na," I told her.
Arnold smirked at me, "Working on it, Ara."
"Daks!" Mika called. She was talking to her father when she saw us. She walked towards our group and joined us. "Parang sasabog na yang tyan mo ah."
