Gerald’s POV

It has been weeks since the revelation was known. He divided his time between being a boss, a boyfriend and as  a soon to be father. Things have been tough for him. One way or another he knows that Bea and Sarah are also having a hard time dealing with the situation. Bea appreciated his efforts in dealing with her pregnancy but he knows Bea is hurting inside because she is well aware of the fact that he is doing this because of the baby and not because he still loves her. On the other hand, even if Sarah is very open in terms of him being hands-on with Bea’s pregnancy, he can feel how hard it is for her especially now that she is dealing with her mother’s illness as well. He sees the pain in her eyes whenever he is showing her the recent ultrasound results, when he told her on the phone that he held Bea’s stomach and felt the baby kicking, he heard her pain even if she said that she is happy for him. Deep inside him, he knows how much effort Sarah is putting in showing a brave front for his own benefit. It hurts him deeply seeing her dealing with her pain alone and trying to strengthening up for the situation.

One Saturday Afternoon I accompanied Bea in the mall to buy some baby clothes and other baby needs. They enjoyed shopping together and went to one baby store to another.

Sarah’s POV (While Bea and Gerald is Shopping)

Gerald is with Bea shopping for Baby clothes and things, she sometimes feels a little guilty because she envies the amount of time he and Bea spends together, now a days. Even though she understands the situation, she still feels a little hurt knowing that their time together is less plus the fact that she is also busy in helping her mother recover from her operation.

She just misses him….

She decided to call him and ask what time they would finish shopping

Ring Ring Ring Ring

Gerald: Babe, bakit ka na patawag? She heard him asked her from the other line

Sarah: Wala lang I miss you lang. Anong oras kayo matatapos ni Bea?

Gerald: I miss you too, Babe! Naku medyo nageenjoy pa kami ni Bea. Ang cute ng mga baby clothes, babe. He excitedly told her.

Sarah:  Ah ganoon ba, sige babe enjoy lang kayo. Text me kung naka uwi ka na ha. Love you. She told him with a tiny voice.

Gerald: Mga 4 pm, Babe, nasa condo na ako tawagan kita agad ok. Love you.

Sarah: Okay I love you.

It was around 2:30 and she decided to surprise Gerald and bring him merienda in the condo. Since she is living in Paranaque and his condo is in Quezon City, she started to prepare herself.

 He said that he would be at the condo by 4.

“ Naku dapat mauna ako sa kanya para masurprise ko siya.” She excitedly whispered to herself while dressing up.

Gerald: Hindi naman alam niya naman na magshoshopping tayo and sabi ko 4 pm nasa condo na ako.

Bea: Oh sige ihatid mo na ako 3:15 na oh para maka uwi ka kaagad.
