Our Miracle

CHAPTER 3

It would be a memorable day for both Kongpob and Arthit. Yes, today Kongpob is going to revile the truth of his character change to Arthit and it is especially his birthday today. Kongpob is really excited to see Arthit's reaction. He himself can't believe that he is 1 week pregnant. His moods have been changing the past 2 days and Arthit also noticed it. Whenever Arthit asked anything about it Kongpob would lie to him saying any other excuse. Kongpob now a days throw up whenever he enters the washroom to have a bath. He tried his best to not make Arthit curious. He now days feels like always eating sweets which he was not at all found of earlier. "Hormone changes" he mumbles whenever these thoughts come up.

Kongpob acted all the way that he didn't knew that today was Arthit's birthday. Arthit also didn't knew that it was his birthday but the messages from his friends wishing him happy birthday made him remind. Arthit mostly gave clue to Kongpob that it was his birthday but the younger male didn't even care about this day. Arthit was really mad at Kongpob. All his friends wished him except for his own husband. Kongpob was sad seeing Arthit's mad face but it is for all good he thought to himself. Kongpob casually talked to Arthit but the older male only gave one-word answers to him. They didn't share their usual kiss in the morning, which made Kongpob really sad. They didn't talk much at the office, even the employees noticed that. Arthit was really mat Kongpob for forgetting his birthday.

Kongpob lied to Arthit in the evening that he is not feeling well so he is going back early and Arthit didn't even ask what happened he simply allowed him to go. Arthit will only come home at 7pm so Kongpob had 2 hours now to set up everything. He asked Aim to also help him in setting up everything which his friend agreed wholeheartedly. After ½ hour of work Aim finally left wishing Kongpob best of luck. Kongpob then happily went to the kitchen to prepare his husband's favorite food while humming songs. After he made all the food he settled on the sofa thinking how did today go for him. Surely it was not pleasant but he is sure that it would be after he arrives.

Kongpob is getting worried, it is already past 7:15pm and still Arthit has not returned. He sighed thinking Arthit would be really mad at him. He stroked his stomach "Daddy is surely mad at me but after he know about you, I am sure that he would engulf us in his warmth" Kongpob said to his baby who is still developing in his tummy. Kongpob smiled when he heard a horn outside the house. He peeped through the window and saw Arthit parking the car. Kongpob made everything ready and went upstairs waiting for his husband to come to their room.

Arthit sighed as he walked towards the door of their house. Till now Kongpob didn't remember about his birthday and he is madder this time. He opened the door with unwillingness. His body was frozen seeing the house decorated. There was a path of rose petals made from along the entrance to upstairs. Arthit's eyes filled with tear when he realized that Kongpob had done this all; he simply cursed and avoided him today. Arthit felt guilty. Arthit wiped his tears grinning, he followed the path and found either side of the stair with candles sending sweet fragrant of rose. The way leaded to Kongpob's and Arthit's bedroom. Arthit eagerly opened it to find Kongpob there but he was wrong. The path leaded to the bed which had candles and balloons here and there. He found a red color album book in the middle of the bed. He smiled wider as he took the book and opened it. It was a collection of photos of Arthit and Kongpob and their single photos that Kongpob managed to find from their university days to the time till now. There were so many pictures of them both: in their wedding, university, their dating pics, laughing pics, pics with family and so one.

Arthit froze at his place when he so the last page of the album it was a baby's picture and beside that a keychain of baby shoes were also placed. Arthit was thinking hardly what this is meaning is it really what is in his mind or not. Then suddenly a melodious tone was playing, Arthit looked back and found Kongpob in one of Arthit's favorite dress that he likes Kongpob to be seen in with a cake on his hand.

"Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear P'Arthit, happy birthday to you"

Kongpob sang in a melodious voice with a wide smile on his face, he walked towards Arthit and kissed on his cheeks "Happy birthday P'Arthit" Kongpob wished. Arthit smiled widely he looked at the cake in Kong's hand and his filled with water and disbelieve "Happy Birthday Daddy-to-be" was written on the cake. Arthit looked at Kongpob eyes asking is it true or not, Kongpob smiled widely and nodded his head saying yes. Tears poured out from Arthit's eyes, he couldn't utter a word. He engulfed Kongpob in a bone breaking hug. Kongpob smiled widely and slowly placed the cake in one of his hand to the nearby table and hugged Arthit.

"Is it really true Kong?" Arthit asked still unable to believe, Kongpob laughed at Arthit "Yes P, you are going to be a daddy?" Kongpob said pinching Arthit's cheeks. The older male smiled ear-ear. "When?" Arthit asked, Kongpob understood what he meant. Kongpob said Arthit to sit down, then after Kongpob sat on his lap all smiling while Arthit hugged him towards himself. "1 week P. The day I went with Aim to select their engagement ring while returning I fainted. Aim took m to P'Priya. She asked me if I felt strange for the past week and I told about my vomiting and all. Then she told me that I am pregnant. I couldn't believe that it was true P. We really having a baby" Kongpob said with all happiness tears streaming out of his eyes with joy. Arthit listened to it all smiling; he wiped away Kongpob's tears with the thumb of his hands and kissed him. It was a smooth and small kiss with lots of love. Their foreheads were touching with each other when they broke the kiss "Thank you Kong" Arthit mumbled but in enough voice to be heard by Kong. "Don't thank me P, if you were not with me how could we get our baby" Kongpob said in return. Then after all the lovely gestures that both of them made they ate their candle light dinner which was prepared by Kongpob with full of happiness. Arthit also apologized to Kongpob for avoiding him the day because he was mad thinking he forgot Arthit's birthday. Kongpob smiled at him and assured that he has no problem at all.

They were cuddling together in the bed in each other's embrace. Kongpob's head was on Arthit's chest while the older male was stroking his hair. Arthit suddenly remembered something "Kong we should tell this to our parents Kong" Kongpob smiled and looked up at Arthit. "Yes p before that we should meet P'Priya" Kongpob said. Arthit raised one eyebrow and asked why they should meet her. Kongpob said that she told him to come with Arthit this Friday to check the position of the womb. Arthit nodded enthusiastically. "After that on the weekend we would be telling my parents, then after we will gather a meeting and tell our friends too about the happy news" Kongpob said, all the happiness and eagerness can be found from his speaking tone. Arthit didn't object any of his ideas he was totally fine with the plans as long as his Kongpob his okay. Now Arthit understood why Kongpob had been behaving all weird the past days and it really made sense now. He really was thinking how pregnancy could make a person change their whole attitude.

There was only the sound of AC was there in the room. While Arthit was thinking all of this he didn't notice that Kongpob was already drowns to his sleep. Arthit looked at the peaceful face of Kongpob and smiled before kissing on his forehead. Arthit turned off the lamp and slowly made himself comfortable without disturbing Kongpob. He slowly stroked Kong's stomach "Good night baby, your daddy will be waiting for you" he mumbled and kissed Kongpob for the last time of the day before drifting himself to sleep thinking of today's surprise that he would never forget in his life.
