DISCLAIMER: Kaya nasa unahan ang SPECIAL CHAPTERS kasi I know karamihan sa inyo ay ito talaga ang hinahanap. If bago niyo pa lang babasahin ang TDG Book 2, I suggest na i-skip niyo muna ang succeeding 6 chapters. Yun lang. Maraming salamat!

Pregnancy test. Pregnancy test.
Sure, kita nga nya na hawak yun ni Jersey, kaso hindi lang talaga maregister sa utak nya. Eh ano naman ba ang gagawin ni Jersey sa isang pregnancy test?
Hindi naman madescribe ang itsura ni Jersey. Malungkot ba sya? Nagulat? Ano!?
Moments later, umupo na sa tabi nya si Kevin. "What.. are you doing with that?" Matagal bago nakasagot si Jersey. "I'm a week late."
Mas kinabahan dun si Kevin. "Are you sure? Diba irregular ka naman since last year?" "Yeah.. pero may napansin akong slight pattern.. I just took this to be sure."
"So.. how was it?" hinawakan ni Kevin ang left hand ng asawa, and he slightly squeezed it.
She took a very deep breath before answering.
"Negative."
Hindi naman maintindihan ni Kevin ang nararamdaman nya. It's.. weird. Moments later, may isang emotion ang naging klaro sa kanya. He was sad.
Pinatong ni Jersey ang pregnancy test na may isang linya sa bedside table at humiga. "I'm so sorry." No one dared to speak after that. Napayuko na lang si Kevin, tapos nangingilid naman ang luha sa
mga mata ni Jersey. After few minutes umokay na si Kevin, kaso naramdaman nya ang pagkabalisa ng asawa.
"Hey," maamo nyang sabi habang humiga sya sa tabi nito. "Don't cry." Umiwas naman ng tingin si Jersey habang nagpupunas ng luha. "I'm sorry."
Naawa si Kevin sa asawa. Alam nyang takot si Jersey manganak at medyo ilag ito sa bata, kaya they decided to postpone having kids. Sinasanay pa ni Jersey ang sarili around babies (thanks to Nathan
and Tyler) para mawala ang pagkailag nya. Kaso.. ba't ganun? Ba't nagsosorry sya?
Kevin reached out for her hand again and squeezed it lightly. "Jersey.. okay lang. We had ourselves tested, and there's nothing wrong with us. Baka naman delayed ka lang or irregular, just like last month."
"Eehhh.." hindi pa rin sya tumigil sa kakaiyak. "I'm so stupid. Bumili pa ako ng lecheng pregnancy test kit na yan! Arrrgggghh!!!"
"Jersey calm down.." niyakap nya ang asawa at tumahimik ito. "Tell me, what are you thinking?"
She glanced at him. "One year, Kevin. We put off having a child for one year. Para masanay ako,
para hindi ako matakot or whatever. Now I realized that was plain stupid. We can never be ready for this. We can try, but.. The truth is.. kanina.. habang naghihintay ako na lumabas yung.. two lines.. I
was so happy and excited. Nawala yung takot ko about that stupid thing. Nirerehearse ko na nga
kung pano ko sasabihin. Baka ilagay ko rin sa ice cream yung pregnancy test but eeww, so unsanitary," natawa silang dalawa. "Excited ako.. then that single line showed up. Nakakainis lang! I'm expecting.. Sorry for all the drama. You know me."
Inayos ni Kevin ang buhok ni Jersey. "Is that all?" "I could go on and on, Mister. Don't dare me."
"Okay, I won't." Nilapit pa nya si Jersey sa kanya. "Stop crying." "Are you disappointed?"
"To be honest.. yeah. Nag-expect din ako na positive ang result eh. Tapos ang dami ko na agad naimagine! Ang saya! Tapos negative. What a buzzkill."
"It's my fault that i--"
