UNDESERVING

Chapter 16

Mew went to open the door while Gulf was sitting by the edge of the bed.

"Daddy!!!" Gabby cried out loud with tears rolling down his face which startled both Mew and Gulf

"What's the problem baby?" Gulf asked as he hurriedly carried his baby to his lap and wiped his tears

"Mommy you're here!! are you and Daddy back now?" Gabby asked, his eyes shimmering in delight and hopes

"No baby, we are not..I just called him here for a reason" Mew bluntly replied which wiped off the hopes in Gabby's eyes, he then started crying in the crook of his mother's neck which made Mew and Gulf look at each other in a confused manner

"Baby, tell mama what's wrong" Gulf said really worried

*hic* " My friends do not want to play with me again *hic* everyone is saying that my mommy is evil, I want you to punish them Daddy" Gabby said looking at his father with hopeful eyes

"Seriously Gabby? Is that why you're crying?? What people are saying is nothing but the truth, you are only supporting him because he's your mother!! I am disappointed in you for crying for such a petty thing but do not worry very soon no one will say annoying things to you because you will have another mother soon" Mew said not minding how his son would feel about the words he said about his mother and the information he just got about having another mother

"What??..I don't understand,mommy what is Daddy saying..I will have another mommy?? Which mommy?..Are you not my only mommy so why is Daddy going to bring another mommy?" Gabby asked absolutely confused about what his father said.

Gulf just kept silent, he also doesn't know how to explain this to his son about his Daddy's marriage to another person.

"Daddy are you really going to get married to another person?" Gabby asked in a calm tone

"Yes baby, I need a Queen beside me, someone who can take care of you and also give you siblings, I have a perfect person and you know him, I will get married to Prince Song and we are getting engaged next month" Mew said

"What will then happen to my mother and my sibling that is inside my mommy's stomach?" Gabby asked still in a calm tone which bothered Gulf, he knows that Gabby always shouts whenever he is angry or hurt, he knows that his baby is really hurt now...but why is he calm? Gulf was scared about what his child is thinking

"That child in his stomach isn't your sibling, don't you ever repeat that again and as for your mother, nothing happens to him, he will continue to be in the palace doing what he does" Mew replied

"Ok" Gabby replied and got off his mother's lap then left the room just like that

"Gabby baby, where are you going??" Gulf asked but was ignored as the door was shut.

Gulf also left the room as he didn't know what else to say to Mew and he was also uncomfortable staying with him alone after what just happened earlier between them.

He then went to Gabby's room but it was locked from inside, his heart skipped a beat thinking that Gabby might be doing something harmful to himself, he started knocking

"Gabby baby please open the door for me, it's your mother baby, don't shut me out" Gulf pleaded with his son but there was no response from the inside

"You don't want to open the door for me? Are you also going to throw me out of your life like your father did?" Gulf said as a tear rolled down

Gabby who was crying silently inside his room immediately opened the door after hearing what his mother said, he couldn't bear not being with his mother.

"I will never throw you out of my life mommy, don't worry I will never be like daddy" Gabby said as he hugged his mom tightly

"Baby let's enter your room okay" Gulf said as he entered the room with his son, he then sat on the bed with Gabby cuddling beside him, after a while Gabby then said...

"Mommy let's run away" Gulf was shocked at what he heard from his son

"Baby!!..don't think about this again okay, we can't just run away, we are not criminals and I didn't do anything wrong to anyone especially to your father so why should we?? And you're the future heir so you shouldn't even be thinking like this because even if I want to leave the palace you won't be able to come with me" Gulf explained

"But mommy, daddy doesn't like or want us again, he even said that my sibling isn't mine" Gabby said glueing himself more to his mother

"Baby always remember that you that your Daddy loves you so much, he might not like me again but he loves you okay and don't mind him because his mind and heart is clouded with hatred and anger that's why he believes that my child isn't his but I'm fine, your mama is strong okay so don't ever think of running away again, promise me baby" Gulf said as he kissed his son all over his face which made Gabby smile

"Ok mommy I promise, I won't think about it again but mommy are you really ok with daddy marrying another person because I hate it, Daddy changed so much" Gabby saw his mother's sad expression and wanted to cry

"Baby I can't force your daddy to be with me or love me, it is his decision and he is also our king, I can't do anything about it, maybe the love I have him isn't enough for him, maybe he didn't even love me..I *sniff* I really d-don't know Gabby" Gulf then started crying as he was expressing his pain

"Where did I go wrong? I was on my own before your dad came into my life, showed me love and I fell..I fell so hard Gabby, you can't blame me..I really thought he was a good man, I didn't even know that your father was a Prince until we became together, we promised to love each other, we had so much trust in each other *sniff* b-but now everything has changed, I no longer know who your dad is, the Mew I know cannot accuse me of cheating on him or even torture me especially in my condition, he knows how much I love him, maybe his love for me has faded but why now..why did it fade now that I have you and your unborn sibling for him, what did I ever do wrong? Who did I offend?..isn't it enough that I lost my parents and had nobody..." Gulf couldn't continue as he cried out his pain

"Mommy stop crying, you're making me cry too..Daddy will regret everything he is doing okay? Remember you're carrying my sibling, we don't wish for anything to happen to him/her right? So stop crying" Gabby said as he rubbed his mom back to comfort him and also wiping his tears which made Gulf to calm down

"You know..I didn't have anybody but I thank God for bringing Mew into my life because he gave me a wonderful son like you and I'm sure your sibling would be like you, mama will be strong for you two okay?..I won't cry again" Gulf said as he lay down on the bed with Gabby and they slept off holding each other, unknown to them Mew heard everything they talked about.

MEW'S POV

I'm confused on why my heart is beating very fast after hearing everything that Gulf said...doesn't he deserve everything that is happening to him?...I hate him...I should hate him...but why is my heart beating very fast like I am about to lose someone very important to me..no!!!...he deserves more, he killed my father and cheated on me, he even got pregnant, I cannot to deceived again, I hate him so much. I don't even know what made me approach a peasant like him, I shouldn't have married him..I regret bringing him into my life.
