In love
I was released immediately after a series of tests. I feel so embarrassed! Me? Pregnant again? I am three weeks pregnant now. I can't believe that at the age of twenty-seven, I already have two kids!
"I am so happy with this news Thalia!" ang halakhak ng mommy ni Atlas ay dumagundong sa buong sala ng bahay. "You two should get married!"
Namumula ang kanyang mga pisngi, akala mo ay dalaga pa rin. Ni hindi halatang malapit nang mag senior.
"We should let them decide on their own Alexa." Atlas' dad. Tito Morgan.
"I was wondering earlier why you two are in the hospital." she laughed again. Tito Morgan is smiling and continues playing with Atreus.
Atlas is beside me on the sofa, comfortably sitting while his arms are around me.
"I wasn't planning on having another kid Tita." napangiwi siya.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Mommy?" she pursed her lips.
"Mommy." pagtatama ko na ikina lapad ng ngiti niya. Atlas moved and kissed my temple. He's watching his father and Atreus play.
"Of course! You guys should get married first before having the second kid."
"Alexa." Tito Morgan. Nilingon ni tita Alexa si tito Morgan ng nakakunot ang noo.
"Yes?"
"Stop it, you're pressuring the two."
Tumikhin si tito.
"Well, I think, Atlas is ready whenever you're ready Thalia." halos mapa hilot ako sa sentido, parehas lang pala silang dalawa.
"I'm always ready, baby." Atlas whispered in my ear.
I saw tita Alexa's smile grew wider with what Atlas' doing.
Pahapyaw kong hinampas si Atlas sa braso. Ang kanyang kanang kamay ay mahinang humaplos sa tiyan ko. I looked at his veiny hand and arm slowly caressing me in a circling motion. It gave me sensations I can't name.
I bit my lower lip. Ito na nga ang sinasabi ko! I have feelings for the guy!
Why would I let him have me in the first place if I don't like him? When did I develop this feeling? Oh my gosh, this is driving me insane!
"Mommy, I want-" tumakbo si Atreus palapit sa akin. Pagkalapit niya ay niyakap niya ang aking baywang. Atlas made him sit on his lap. His grandparents watched him as he sit comfortably on his father's lap, both are smiling widely.
"What do you want?" agad na tanong ko. Namumula ang kanyang mga pisngi, ang labi ay kuhang kuha ang hugis ng sa kanyang ama. Ngumuso siya. Atlas is also waiting for his answer, ani mo ay handang ibigay ang lahat.
"I want ice cream," he said while pouting. I giggled at his cuteness.
I lightly pinched his cheeks and kissed him.
"We'll get some ice cream okay?" ani Atlas. "What flavor do you want, baby?" he kissed Atreus' head. My heart melted when Atreus moved to hug him.
"I want mango." I giggled again when I heard his cute little American accent. Ah, I'm so in love with my baby.
Atlas' eyebrow raised. Nanunuod ng reaction ko.
"Naglilihi ka na ba?" I gaped at what Atlas whispered to me. His Tagalog has thick American accent.
"I don't know..." natigil ako sa pagsasalita nang makita ang kanyang mga magulang na titig na titig sa aming tatlo. My cheeks heated. Nakakahiya!
Atlas kissed my right cheek then I felt his hand on my belly again. I suddenly felt butterflies on my stomach as he slowly rubbed my tummy. I feel like puking all those feelings out.

Genel KurguOh the irony of love. What is he doing to me? God! He's making me confused with myself. I rested my back on the sofa. I closed my eyes and massaged my temple. Are you still there Nathe? Or... Nathalia already ruled over you? Her name is Nathalia Br...
