She was awoken by a Mika's gentle shaking of her shoulders.
"Babe," Mika whispered.
"Yes, Babe?" she answered with eyes closed, pulling Mika closer to her.
"I want pancakes."
Her eyes opened wide at that. She looked at the watch. 2 a.m.
"Babe," Mika hid her face at the crook of her neck. "At least hindi na dinner diba? Considered ng breakfast 'yan."
She wanted to roll her eyes at her wife but she stopped herself. That counterargument would have worked if they didn't have pancakes for dinner before they slept. In fact, they've had pancakes for almost everyday of the week already.
She guessed she should still be thankful that Mika's cravings weren't weird. It was just pancakes and her, and it just comes at weird times.
"Babe, please?" Mika pleaded.
Who was she to refuse her pregnant wife? She dipped her head down and gave Mika a kiss on the lips before stretching and standing up to go to the kitchen.
She tried to shake herself awake as she prepared the necessary materials to make pancakes.
19 weeks. Mika's pregnant with their first baby for 19 weeks already and it was honestly taking a toll on her body already. But she was not complaining. She loves Mika and she loves that Mika was carrying their child. She just wished she could have gotten more sleep.
When she had already finished some pancakes, she felt Mika's arms went around her.
"Babe, thank you."
She turned to claim her wife's lips.
"Anything for you and the baby, Babe," she responded sweetly.
Mika smiled widely at her and she prayed to God to let their baby have Mika's smile because she absolutely loves the way Mika smiles. It was so endearing.
After eating the pancakes she prepared, with Mika feeding her some too which she couldn't refuse because she didn't want to hurt Mika's feelings, she already expected Mika's next craving.
"Babe," Mika whispered. "I want you."
Mika immediately put her arms around her neck and kissed her passionately. She knew where it was going so she carefully led her wife to their bedroom. Mika's mouth never left her, from her lips to her neck to her ears and back to her lips.
Mika took the lead while she made sure that they weren't doing anything strenuous for the baby's sake.
When they were finished at 5 a.m., Mika kissed her softly on the lips.
"Thank you talaga, Babe, and I'm sorry if I'm tiring you out."
She just smiled at her wife before kissing her softly and embracing her 'til she fell asleep.
She couldn't believe a time would come that she would be wanting some rest from making love to Mika. Seriously. But when your wife craves you in the middle of the night in consecutive nights; or when you were at work and your wife calls you to go home because she wants you; or you don't even finish the things you need to do much more rest because your wife's all over you; you just get tired physically.
She loves Mika and every part of their love making. But no matter how fit she was, she just couldn't keep up with her pregnant wife and bags under her eyes were already showing.
Yes, Mika was a beast in bed because of this whole pregnancy thing. It happens multiple times a day and while her brain and her heart was overjoyed because of it, her body was just screaming for some break.
