CHAPTER 15

Kinabukasan lumabas na rin si Jacob sa hospital, mag papagaling lang sya when everything's back to normal aasikasuhin na na ang lahat, he is planning to convert his bar into a restaurant,sayang naman kasi,and beside that place is very important to them. Thats where they meet.

Jacob smile while looking at Zander, parang kaylan lang and now magiging totoong pamilya na sila.

"What are you smiling at?” Wika ni Zander ng mapansing ngingiti ngiti si Jacob.

Lumapit si Jacob then pull Zander and hug him tight. " Im just happy.” Wika nito sabay himas sa tyan ni Zander.

"I am too, but please go and take a bath first.” Wika naman ni Zander habang naka lukot ang mukha.

" But i thought you like my smell?”

"That's before! Go wash! Dont come near me if you dont.”

Napailing na lang si Jacob habang naka ngiti. " Alright, let's eat after i bath. Think what you want to eat. Order tayo pag katapus ko. Wika nito sabay pasok sa banyo.

Five months later...

"Dude! I know that your tummy is so big now, which is i envy you a lot! But i wont accept that as a reason na hindi ka makakapunta sa big day ko!” Greg showed up at Zander's house after he said in the message that he can't go in their wedding.

" How stupid! Of course im coming, Its your wedding, i wont miss that.” Natatawang wika ni Zander  habang pinapasok si Greg.

"Sit,ill get something to drink.” Wika ni Zander.

" No!,no need, maupo ka na lang, ako nahihirapan sayo. Normal pa ba yang laki ng tyan mo.?” Wika naman nito sabay inalalayan paupo si Zander,

Zande role his eyes, sa totoo lang nahihirapan na din sya.

"I guess.” Sagot nya dito.

" Parang ang bigat.” Wika naman ni Greg sabay hawak sa Tyan ni Zander.

"Di lang parang, mabigat talaga.its so difficult tomove around,minsan parang ang hirap huminga.” Wika nya dito.

Hindi naman nag tagal si Greg sa kanila, after ng kunting kwentuhan nag paalam na din ito. Napahinga ng malalim si Zander, Buti pa si Greg ikakasal nya. He sigh again, sila ni hindi man lang nababanggit ni Jacob ang tungkol dun.

Patayo na sana si Zander,pero napatigil ito. MAhigpitna napakapit sa sandAlan ng sofa nila. He close his eyes habang nakangiwi.

Nahihirapan na naman syang huminga. These days napapadalas na ang ganito. Feeling nya naiipit ng bata ang baga nya, minsan naman hindi syA makalakad at sobrang sakit hita nya.

He inhaled deeply and exhale. Napahawak sya sa dibdib nya. Its getting worse. He slowly sit back. Maybe when i rest for a bit it will gone. He close his eyes,and fucos on his breathing. He look at the clock 6pm pa lang naman, he still have time to prepare for their dinner,mag papahinga lang sya saglit.

" Are you okay?” He heard Jacob ask him. Ni hindi nya narinig na dumating na pala ito. Its been two months now na nag simula nang mag trabaho sa hospital si Jacob, sineryoso nito ang sinabi na ito na ang papalit sa ama nito. And thats the reason why he is not always at home. Lagi na itong busy doon.

"Oh you comeback already.” Mahinang wika ni Zander.  "Ang aga mo yata.”

Jacob sit beside him and kiss his head. " Babe its nine in the evening already.” Sagot naman nito.

Napamulat bugla si Zander. "I sleep?Oh sorry i didnt cook for our dinner.” Tatayo na sana ito but Jacob stop him.

" Its okay, lets just order something.” Wika nito then he look at him. "You dont look good. Come with me to the hospital tomorrow.”

Napatango na lang si Zander, Iba na rin naman kasi ang nararamdaman nya.

" By the way, Greg come to invite us in their wedding.” Wika ni Zander sabay turo sa invitation card na nasa lamisita.

"Oh yeah, i hear from Axel too, good for them.” Wika naman ni Jacob sabay kinuha ang cellphone. " What do you want to eat?”

Zander bit his lips, bringing the topic bout Greg's wedding he is hoping too that maybe, just maybe Jacob will think about them too, their baby will be born soon but wala pa din itong nababanggit about sa kasal.

"Ikaw na ang bahala,i can eat anything.” Wika nya dito sabay dahan dahan na tumayo. "Mag babanyo lang ako.”

Nang makatalikod na si Zander, Jacob sigh. Nakita nya kung panu nag bago ang mukha nito, he feel na Zander   envy Greg but at this moment he is too busy in the hospital. Kailangan nyang mag fucos doon. Gusto nyang stable na ang lahat when his child come.

Samantala sa banyo.

" Wala talaga syang plano” Zander murmured. He wants to understand Jacob pero napaka emotional nya these days na halos lahat na lang napapansin nya, even small things makes him upset.

"Babe, dinner is here, halika na.” Rinig nyang sigaw ni Jacob.

Inayos naman nya ang sarili bago lumabas.

The next day, napa singhap si Zander nang dumampi sa balat nya ang ultrasound gel.

" Wait!" Napatingin ang lahat sa Doctor nya. Naka lagay pa ang mga daliri nito sa bibig na sinasabing tumahimik sila.

He and Jacob look at each other, there is something wrong. They hear the baby heart beats loudly but there is another one. Mahina lang ito na halos di mo mapapansin kung hindi mo talaga mapag tuunan ng pansin.

The Doctor add more gel on the other side of Zander abdomen, inikot ikot nito ang  transducer sa bandang kanan ng tyan nya.

"Why we didnt notice it before.” Manghang wika nito habang naka fucos ito sa monitor.

" What do mean Doc?” Medyong kinakabahan na tanong ni Zander.

Jacob grip in Zander's hand tightened habang hinihintay ang sagot ng Doctor ni Zander.

"Look at this.” Wika nito habang may itinuro sa monitor screen. " Did you see it?” Masayang wika nito. "We missed to see it in the previous ultrasound dahil natatakpan ito ni baby number 1.” And for the heartbeat masyado itong mahina, so we need to be more careful.”

Napanganga naman sina Zander at Jacob.

"Is that---?” Wika ni Jacob habang naka tingin din sa monitor.

" Yes!” Masayang wika naman ng Doctor.

"Oh my God!” Naiiyak na sambit naman ni Zander sabay tingin kay Jacob.

Jacob bend down to Zander and kiss him on the lips.

" We're having twins!” Masayang wika naman ni Zander ng mag hiwalay ang mga labi nila.

"Congratulations again sa inyo.!” Masayang wika ng Doctor nila. " You Baby number two is weak, Zander i suggest you a bed rest. No heavy works. And as much as posible no activity on the bed. If you know what i mean.” Wika nito sa kanila habang ang mata ay na kay Jacob. Napa yuko naman ni Zander dahil nag init bigla ang mukha nito.

"That's a bit hard doc but for my babies sake, i will endure it.” Naka ngiting wika naman ni Jacob na lalong ikina pula ni Zander.

" How about you Zander?” Balin naman ng Doctor sa kanya.

"Y-- es doc. But about the bed rest. Do i need to do that until i give birth?”

"Babe, why i have this feeling that you are more concern about the bed rest than our activity on bed.?” Wika naman ni Jacob na ikinatawa ng Doctor at ng nurse, at isang kurot sa tagiliran naman ang sagot ni Zander doon.

" Never mind him Doc.” Balin nya sa Doctor. "Do i need to stay in bed for that long?” Tanung nya uli dito.

" Its depends on how your body handle this, as for now, You said nahihirapan ka so we need to observe. For the time being just do as i said.” Sagot naman mg Doctor at nag paalam na ito.
