ZWCS#8: My Favorite Mistake

Special Chapter

"You should admire something about the person you marry."

These words are etched in Jinny's heart and mind. Madalas itong sabihin sakanya ng Daddy K niya noong nasa college pa lamang siya. Daddy K has always been protective of her. He never lets her work at their club or just even be around the vicinity. How she wishes that Daddy K would be here beside them and witness how she followed his advice – to marry someone she admires and not just someone she loves.

"Hon! Can you get Jazlee for a sec? I have to answer a client's call."

She was changing Trevon's diapers when Tradd came into their twin's room, holding their baby girl. Tumayo siya at kinuha ang anak mula rito. Tradd kissed the top of her head and answered the call. Dahan-dahan niya binaba si Jazlee at nang makita nito ang kapatid ay agad itong gumapang upang makipaglaro sa kakambal.

Yes, after a year of being married, they found out that she's pregnant and will be having twins! Tradd was teary eyed when they went to an OB to check their twins' condition. May dalawang buwan na siyang buntis nang malaman nila na nagdadalang tao na pala siya. Wala naman kasi siyang nararamdamang kakaiba noon, at natural sakanya na irregular siya minsan kaya hindi pumasok sa isip niya ang posibilidad na buntis siya. Nang ikatatlong buwan na hindi siya datnan ay tsaka niya lang naisip na mag-PT at doon niya nalaman na buntis na siya.

Hindi naman siya nahirapan magbuntis. Wala nga siyang cravings o kaya ay mood swings. Gusto niya lang noon ay laging nasa tabi ni Tradd na siyang pinaglihian niya ata ng husto. Lagi siya nakasunod dito kada may meeting ito o kaya nasa opisina, minsan ay umattend siya ng isang hearing nito. Nandoon lang siya sa labas ng korte at hinintay ito. Tradd got worried on her 7th month so he decided to work from home – his client would either do a video call or they would go to their house to meet her husband.

"Iseng, pakibantaya muna ang kambal ha? Maghahanda lang ako ng meryenda." Bilin niya sa kasama nila sa bahay. Kumuha sila ng makakatulong dahil parehas sila may trabaho kaya mahirap din kapag nagsabay-sabay ang lahat ng gawain sa bahay, ang kambal at ang trabaho.

Habang nagpreprepare siya ng makakain ay bigla nalang yumakap sa likod niya ang asawa. Hinayaan niya ito at pinagpatuloy ang ginagawa.

"Tapos na ang call mo?" tanong niya.

"Yeah. It was just a short call. What are you making?"

"Chicken salad. May iba ka pa bang gusto?"

Napatili siya nang bigla siyang inikot paharap ni Tradd at malalim na hinalikan. She can't help but to answer his kisses and giggle because he's being naughty.

"Baka makita tayo ni Iseng."

Tradd grinned at her. "Nah, dumaan ako sa kwarto ng kambal kanina at naglalaro sila doon," sabi nito at tinaas-baba nito ang kilay.

Nagsalubong naman ang mga kilay niya at tinignan ito ng kakaiba. "You're up to something."

Tradd let out his sexy laugh and in an instant, he pulled her upstairs to their room and locked the door then attacked her with his kisses. He immediately carried her to their bed and went on top of her to deepen their kiss.

"I love you, Jinny," Tradd murmured, his lips still slightly touching her.

Hindi siya agad nakasagot dahil nakikita niya ang sinseridad sa mga mata nito. With their bodies touching, she can clearly feel his fast heartbeat. She held on to his stare and muttered that she loves him too.

She closed her eyes and removed all her inhibitions and just be consumed by the heat they're building. Tradd's hands moved from both sides of her legs up to her hips, making their way inside her shirt and slowly lifting her top just enough to expose her tummy. Tradd went down and kiss the cut on the side of her stomach which is the result of her CS operation from giving birth to their twins.
