'Til I Found You (COMPLETED)

46

A month gone by, Lea was left with no choice but to follow her doctor's advice of which Aga agreed as well. She stays at home with Eli and her man becomes more strict. It is not her thing to stay in bed the whole day doing nothing but binge-watching movies while gaining weight. She begged to Aga with a slight hope that he would let her work until her second trimester, but her man is way too hard to please.

"Babes, sige na. Ayoko namang nakaupo lang dito for few months doing nothing. Ang dami nating gastusin lalo na sa paglabas nitong baby. Next month early enrolment na din ni Eli. We have to save up", she explained but to no avail.

"We talked about this already, babes. Don't worry about the expenses. It's on me"

"Nakakabagot dito eh. Wala akong magawa", she rants but Aga doesn't seem convinced.

"Babes, pagod ako. Please lang.  I thought we concur to this already. Checkup mo pa bukas", he slumps down the bed next to her. It's a long day at work but Lea didn't live him down of her filing for maternity leave effectively last week. She's been so clingy since the past weeks but her mood swings are too much to handle at times. It starts off their petty fights whenever he loses a grip. Lea gets jealous so easily particularly to his workmates, and going home late at night only adds fuel to the fire as well. But he has no complain at all. He loves every bit of time with them. In life, they are all he needs.

Lea set an appointment for her baby bump. She can't wipe away the smile on her face as she hearkens to their gender guess. Though it's early yet to know about it but the two couldn't resist guessing. Eli wants a baby sister while her dad, Aga, hopes it's a boy this time but regardless of it all, he couldn't contain his happiness seeing the excitement on their faces. It's a dream come true after all the heartaches and emptiness lived in themselves for years. He winks at his woman and Lea felt her cheeks heat up. It's been almost a year of living together, and Aga awaits the court decision for the annulment. Upon knowing Luisa's full cooperation, she couldn't ask for more. Though life is a bit challenging as they begun to build a happy family but together they faced all trials.

"Next", the nurse called their attention, and Eli quickly stood up. They entered the room. With pumped up self, Lea hearkens to the doctor's remarks. Aga is all up ears as well. As the doctor begun to listen the baby's heartbeat, a smile plasters on her face as she faced the three.

"I can hear two heartbeats", doctor said.

Aga and Lea gaped in disbelief. "D-doc? Two?", Lea asked.

The doctor nods, "Sino ba sa inyo ang may lahing kambal?"

Lea responsed, "Yung alam ko ho, doc, in my father's side may kambal ho sa kanila"

"So, we're having two, doc?", Aga affirms the exciting news upon seeing the doc's nod. And, Eli is way more excited than her parents. She squeals in happiness. With all the doctor's advice, Aga assures to look after his woman. Her pregnancy is sensitive and he couldn't take a risk seeing Lea doing the household chores.

Their following weeks have been a bit tough for Lea as he forbids her to move around the house. He wants to look for a housemaid but Lea declined. It would add up to their expenses and she feels a sting in her chest seeing him working so hard for them. Aga is not used to this kind of life but she could see the apparent enthusiasm of him providing all their needs particularly to the kids.
