The Babymaker

Chapter Seventeen

“What do you like to eat?” Jonas asked me while we are seated on the dining.

I stared at him. “You have a very beautiful nose.” He has the same nose with Renz. It’s sharp and pointy but the nostril doesn’t have a huge opening like it will sniff you in. I chuckled at my thought.

I saw how a smile curves in Jonas’s lips. Oh no, I knew that smile. It’s good for nothing smile.

“I knew it, you really think I’m so handsome. It’s fine, Mansanas, I know I’m handsome.” He’s really arrogant. Nothing is new. He never change, he’s always proud of himself. Conceited!

I just laughed and shook my head.

“I want some mangoes!” I just answered his question than paying attention to him boasting himself.

“Huh mangoes again?” he complained while scratching the back of his head. “Then you like the mango that is sour and without seed yet, I gave you that but you still didn’t eat it.” He added. I pouted my lips.

“Hijo, that’s how pregnant really works. They will ask food but in the end, they don’t like eating that food.” Both of us looked where the voice is coming from. It’s Granny Celia.

“Granny!” We said in unison.

She smiled at us.

“We’re about to leave, hija. Are you going to be fine here?” Granny asked worriedly.

I stood from seating in out the dining chairs. “Yes Granny, I’m just surprised the first time I found out.” We started walking out of the dining area.

Granny Celia nodded. “That’s good to hear. After all, Lydia is here to take care of you. I trust her.”

“Granny, also me.” Jonas butted in. I elbowed him. He keeps on telling me that he will stay here and we keep arguing that he should get back in Manila already. He has been staying here for more than a month now.

“Stop it Jonas, you already need to get back in Manila. You have a lot of works left hanging.” Jonas frowning while bowing down his head, he acted like a child. I secretly stick my tongue out on him just to annoy him. He scowled at me. I just laughed.

We been waiting at the veranda when Sir Carlito and his wife, Ma’am Alea went out of the house. I’m surprised when she walked closer to me.

She softly caressed my head. “You take care of yourself, ha, hija.”

I awkwardly nodded my head. I don’t know what to say on her, I’m really aloof when it comes to her. After them, Renz and her wife, came out of the house.

Isabel just smile lightly and trying to avoid to looking at me. I just bowed my head. I understand what she feels right now. I know even she agreed doing this, it still hard for her.

Renz cleared his throat. “Let’s go?”

Sir Carlito nodded at his son before he looked at me. “Apple, hija, you take care of yourself.” I nodded at him. He’s truly genuine.

“I will comeback here every time I had free time, okay?” He pinched my nose. “Don’t eat too much. Once I comeback, you already as big as pig.” He teased me. I slapped his hand that pinched my nose and pinched him on his waist.

“Hey hey, that hurts!” he laughingly complained

I took a glimpsed to the couple, Renz arm is rested on his wife’s shoulder while Isabel is staring at me, no actually she’s looking at my belly part.

She noticed I’ve been staring at her that why she looked up at me. She forcefully smiled at me.

“You take care of y-yourself.” Then she followed Granny and the others walking to their cars.

“I will check on you, on our baby.” He might give an odd looked before he followed his wife yet he gave me strange feeling when he mentioned ‘our baby’. Damn!

Why am I feeling this way? My heart wanted to explode in happiness.

He’s already been far from my eyesight when I noticed someone is watching me, I looked at my side. It’s Jonas.

“Oh why are you still here?” I jokingly said.

He smirked at me then shook his head. “Take care of yourself.”

The rest of them keep on saying that on me before they leave but how come when Jonas said that I felt different. I froze on my spot.

There’s no trace of playfulness on his face when he said that.

I should really take care of myself. I already feel different on everything. Mixed feelings.

I touched my belly.

Can I still do this?

It’s not just me anymore. It’s the two of us already.

I woke up suddenly in the middle of the night craving for milo.

Its 12 midnight already, Nanay Lydia might be asleep already.

Really baby? At this time of the night?

I had a dream that a chocolate monster is running after me. I find it weird but now I understand that cute monster is my baby asking for milo.

I wore my cute bunny slippers from Jonas, he even said that he’s planning to buy a piggy instead because bunny eats carrot while lechon has apple on their mouth when serve. Really that jerk! I went down the kitchen, and didn’t bother to open the lights.

“Where is the milo stored again?”

I can’t believe I can’t remember where the food here stored. I get some glasses and started searching for the milo.

“Here!”  I was about to get it from the cabinet where the other condiments are stored when the lights in the kitchen turned on.

I looked back and I was frightened I almost loss my grip on the glasses. Thanks God I prevent it from falling and breaking, it may cause noise that will make Nanay Ldyia awake.

“You really like sneaking at night, huh?”

It’s him! Am I still dreaming?
