Accidental Baby

Chapter Thirty One

ANAIS

"Hindi mo pa rin ba ako kakausapin?" Coco asked when he pulled up in front of our gate. We took Cookie to his favorite pizza arcade restaurant and let him play and eat for awhile. I never once said a word to Coco. 

"Anais..." He held me by my arm as I pushed his car door open. I pulled my hand from his hold and got out. I opened the backdoor of the car where Cookie sat and unbuckled him from his seat. 

"I love you, Dada." He told Coco before leaning over the driver's seat and giving him a kiss on the cheek.

"I love you, baby." He replied, his voice lacked energy.

He hopped out of the car and I held his hand as the gate opened. We went in with him skip walking beside me. 

"Mymy, galit kayo ni Dada?" He asked innocently.

"Hindi kami galit ng Dada mo." I told him.

"But you don't want to talk to him. Is it because he called you stupid?" 

I turned my head to him and frowned. "Cookie, ano bang sabi ko? Hindi ka dapat nakikinig sa mga usapan ng matatanda. That's not polite." 

"It's not my fault I can hear it. I can't turn off my ear!" He reasoned.

"Ikaw bata ka, ang liit mo pa sumasagot ka na! You don't talk back to Mymy." I scolded.

"I don't talk back! I talk forward!" He looked up at me, puzzled.

I massaged my aching temples. I knew for sure that he was going to be a headache when he grows up. He was slowly morphing into a little version of Coco. He had his father's personality. I'd be like Tita Cassie, mamomroblema din ako dito kay Cookie. I could already imagine what it would be like when Cookie gets to highschool. I'd get called every month to see the principal because of Cookie's crazy antics until eventually the school gets tired of him and expels him. 

"Huwag kang magkukuwento ng kahit ano sa mga narinig mo sa Papa Axel mo." I told him as we entered the house. "Gusto mo bang awayin ni Papa Axel ang Dada mo?"

"No." He shook his head.

"Then keep that cute little lips zipped okay?" I said.

"I'll try." 

"Cookie!" I warned him. 

"Okay, Mymy!" He answered.

"Moooommmyyy! Daaaaddddy!" I heard Bryce's shrilling screaming from upstairs. I pulled Cookie up the stairs to check up on the brat. Mom ran from the master's bedroom in pink silk robe and Dad followed behind her, topless and still pulling his zipper close. 

I looked at my watch, it was just nine and they were already getting it on. I cringe at the thought of Mom and Dad having sex. I wouldn't be surprised if I found out we're going to have another sibling.

"Look what your son did to my room!" Bryce yelled on the top of her lungs. 

"Jesus, Bryce! Akala ko kung ano nang nangyari!" Dad caught his forehead in his hand. 

"Anong ginawa mo sa kwarto ng Ate Bryce mo?" Asked Mom.

"I was just playing!" Sabi ni Toffie. "Look Mommy, I'm Mickey Mouse!"

"Give that back to me!" Galit na hinatak ni Bryce ang bra na nakapatong sa ulo ni Toffie. "I'm going to kill your son, I swear! Tiganan niyo ang kwarto ko! He practically turned it up side down!"

"Saan ka ba kasi galing?" Dad asked.

"I was in your study, doing my project! Kukunin ko lang yung mga gamit na naiwan ko sa kwarto and then I saw him going through my things!" She screeched like it was the end of the world.
