My Switched Wife (MINE Series #3)

Switched Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Finally

When I opened my eyes, the white ceiling welcomed my sight. The strong smell of alcohol and medicines attacked my nose. Inilibot ko ang paningin sa paligid at napagtanto kong nasa hospital ako.

I saw Vince back against me. Nakatayo siya sa paanan ng kama habang seryosong kinakausap ang isang babaeng doctor. What the hell hapened? Ang huling naaalala ko ay ang dugo na dumadaloy sa binti ko at nawalan na ako ng malay!

Nabaril ba ako? Pero hindi! Mararamdaman ko kung nabaril ako pero wala! Am I... Bumaba ang tingin ko sa tiyan at wala sa sariling nahaplos 'yun.

Am I... pregnant?

Vince and I had an unprotected sex for three weeks so... it's not impossible.

That thought covered my heart with warmth and fear at the same time. How's my child then?

"You're awake..." si Vince at agad akong dinaluhan pagkalabas ng doctor.

He sat beside me and he immediately held my hand. Mahigpit ang hawak niya doon at halatang-halata ang pag-aalala sa kulay abo niyang mga mata.

"W-What happened?"

"You passed out after seeing the blood dripping on your legs," sagot niya.

"Am I pregnant?" Tanong ko.

Malakas na ang kalabog ng puso ko ngayon. Parang gustong lumabas nu'n sa dibdib ko at magtatalon dito sa harap namin! I know that I am pregnant, but I'm not yet sure. And I don't know how's my baby! Nagdugo ako at 'yun ang huling naaalala ko!

Vince lips curved up for a warm smile at lumipat ang tingin niya sa tiyan ko. He's other hand caressed my stomach softly.

"Yes," he answered.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit mas bumilis pa ang tibok ng puso ko.

"How's my baby then?" I asked.

"Our baby, Ameira," he corrected. "Our baby's fine."

Doon lang ako nakahinga ng maluwag at napangiti rin. I bit my lower lip and also caressed my stomach. Napasinghap ako nang marahang hinawakan ni Vince ang baba ko at inangat 'yun para magtama ang paningin namin.

"What---"

I was cut off by his soft and gentle kisses. I felt butterflies on my stomach because of how soft his kisses are. I kissed him back softly, too and I feel like I'm lying in an electric field because of the electricity that's sending shivers through my spine.

He gave me one last kiss on my jaw before looking at my eyes intently.

"I love you... you and our baby," ika niya na mas nakapagpangiti sa akin.

The door opened and our eyes immediately turned there. Napanguso ako at bigla na lang namasa ang mga mata ko nang makita si Mommy at Daddy doon! Damn it! I'm being emotional!

Tumayo si Vince at nakapamulsang hinarap ang parents ko. My parents remained standing at the door, though. Kung hindi ko lang sinubukang umupo ay baka hindi tatakbo si Mommy papalapit sa akin at alalayan ako.

I was shocked because of what she did. Ni hindi agad ako nakahulma! I remained on staring at my Mom like she's a puzzle piece that I needed to solve bago lumipat ang tingin ko kay Daddy.

Right! Nabaril si Mommy bago ako nawalan ng malay! Is she okay now? Lumingon ako sa tiyan niya at nag-aalalang tumingin sa mga mata niya. She smiled at me but her eyes remained sad.

"I'm okay, nadaplisan lang ako sa tagiliran." She explained at doon lang ako nakahinga ng maluwag.

My Dad remained serious, though. Naglakad siya papalapit sa akin habang si Mommy ay bigla na lang humikbi sa tabi ko! What the?! What's happening?!
