"A-araaaaay!"

I squealed from the top of my lungs the moment I opened my eyes here in our bed. Wala akong nagawa at napapikit nalang ako sa sobrang kirot at sakit. I can't take this anymore, I think I'm going to die right now. I am having stomach contractions and leg cramps—all in one! Damn it!

I reached for the comb which as far as I remember, nilagay ko iyon sa katabing lamesa dito sa higaan namin. Pilit kong binuka ang mga mata ko just to check that I'm going to the right direction. Nagtagumpay naman ako sa pagkuha ng suklay at pinilit ang sarili na tumayo. I put the comb inbetween my biggest toe and the next toe on it. A friend said that this remedy is effective, and it really is. Lol.

Hinay-hinay akong humiga at nilatag ang likod sa kama. My leg cramp was already gone for a few minutes. pretty effective talaga tong suklay ekek na to ha. But one problem is...I still suffer in this stupid stomach contractions. Kanina sobrang sakit nito but I guess now it's slowly repelling already. God, thank heavens.

Oddly enough, my husband didn't move any single motion while I was wriggling here and there at kahit sa ingay ng sigaw ko kanina ay hindi pa rin siya kumibo. Well, naiintindihan ko naman dahil mukhang napagod to kagabi. The party ended at exactly 12 nn at busyng-busy siya sa pag-aaccommodate ng bisita. It was his special day but of course, he eventually burned out.

I firmly touched his forehead, tracing it down below his eyes, nose and finally his lips. Napangiti nalang ako observing how his face was perfectly carved. Nangawit ako kaya nailagay ko ang kamay ko sa topless niyang dibdib as I sunk in deeply my face to his neck, blowing my heavy breaths.

"Hmm..." he softly groaned and opened one eye. As he saw me sulking, he immediately turned himself, facing me. "Good morning, love."

Sandali naman akong nangisay. I can't help but smile at what he said with his husky and sexy voice. Oh gahd. "Good morning. Tulog ka pa, I know you're tired."

"Mmmm. No need. Ayos na ko."

"Are you still going to work?"

"I took an off."

Nanlaki naman ang mga mata ko. "What? Really? Is that even possible?" As I have known him for almost seventeen years, hindi yan madaling kumuha ng off. Lalo na ngayong CEO siya, he just can't give up his work and just act normal like nothing's going on with his head. Knowing my husband, he's self-dedicated and hardworking.

"Yep. Trina helped me." he hugged me tightly. "I need to make amends with someone e."

I frowned. "San ka naman nagkasala aber?"

"Sa'yo." he chuckled. "I mean...I haven't had quality time with you for how many weeks, I even lost count. So today, I'm all yours. No buts, no ifs. Alam kong hapon pa ang schedule mo. Stay with me throughout the morning." Iba rin tong si birthday boy, naglalambing.

"Are you kidding me?" I laughed. "Just now, it's already twelve in the afternoon." pambabara ko sa kanya. I have to make pasok at 2 o'clock. I'm going to arrive there, probably late na. Napagod kasi kami kagabi e kaya napahaba tong tulog namin. Hahahaha.

He checked his digital clock beside him, apparently on top of his table-drawer. "Ah, shit." he cussed as he realized it was already 12. "I should've just woke up earlier you know. Hay nako." he shrugged.

"We still have time." siniksik ko ulit ang ulo ko sa leeg niya. "I'll stay till 1. Bahala na si batman kung malalate. Hahaha."

"Hmm..." his hands were caressing my hair down to my back. I was hugging him the whole time. "While laying down, wanna think about what name we should label for our little angel? Malapit-lapit na rin ang delivery date mo. Mabilis lang ang panahon, four months isn't far away."

Oh, right. Hindi ko pa siya nainform. "Well, I actually have a name in mind. Nakalimutan kong sabihin sa'yo e since we both became busy. Sorry."

"No, ayos lang. I understand." he assured me. "So, what's your idea? What would you like to call our baby?"

"Carla Regine."

A smiled plastered on his face.

"God, how I love you." he kissed me on the forehead. I found it...weird? "I was thinking the same thing over and over again...well not literally what you thought. Naisip ko lang kasi na ilagay yung 'Regine' sa pangalan niya if ever babae yung magiging anak natin. I'm just looking for the perfect first name but then you gave it to me. I love it. Carla Regine sounds pleasant."

"Carla meant feminine chic. And Regine, of course, meant queen. So yeah, yung dalawang personalities ko napaghalo ko sa magiging anak natin." I laughed. "Sana naman hindi magmana sa'yo."

"You're harsh." he frowned.

"It's normal! Dapat lang magmana sa'kin kasi babae e!" I scowled.

"Well, sakin rin naman bubuntot yan. Daughters are much more attracted to their fathers than their mothers and also vice versa, same goes also to sons and mothers. It's a common thing." he briefly said.

"Kaya nga e, did you think I didn't know that thing?" I said. "Kahit mukha lang niya yung magaya sa'kin kasi alam kong sunud-sunuran yang magiging anak mo sa'yo. She'll hate me. I'm pretty sure of it."

"Well, kung buntot-buntot man siya sa'kin edi tuturuan ko siyang mahalin ka. Papalapitin ko siya sa'yo, sus." he cackled. "After all, ikaw rin naman ang mas higit na makakatulong sa kanya especially when it comes to feminine aspects."

"Whatever." I just replied.

"You know...I can picture things out now." he held my hand. "With this house, having a kid running around, then there's you who's cooking for breakfast diligently everyday, and there's me who's getting ready for work and...actually running late but who cares? It's a family thing that I am in." he chuckled. "Then everytime I go home, there's Carla Regine hugging me with her little arms and hands reaching my legs. Syempre wala ka pa since you're on a nightshift so suddenly we decided to visit you at St. Luke's because our daughter is having tantrums about not seeing you and her Ate Sarah who lives in the hospital, the whole day...mga ganung bagay. Weird but, I could literally imagine an almost-perfect life with you."

"Ang creative mo naman." I pulled out a joke. "Galing ng imagination e no, nag fine arts ka ba? Hahahaha."

"Hindi. Pero I got the best brand of pastels and crayons that's why everything seemed in place." pinatulan naman niya ang walang kuwenta kong joke.

"Makabili nga rin niyan. San ba? Anong brand ba yun?" and eventually, pinatulan ko na rin.

He leaned in and sticked his forehead onto mine. "Actually, it's exclusive for me. Nakatali na sa'kin yun e, forever and ever. Don't be so dumb looking for another one because from the very start, it's only you. Just you. No replicas, no xerox copies, no other versions of you. Nag-iisa ka lang."
