Final Chapter

"Please? One more for Mama?" I asked Grant. I actually wanted to name him something na nagsisimula sa Ch para in line sa mga Viste, but it was so hard to come up with a name! Chester said that he'd pretty much agree to anything as long as it's not weird name. I didn't know what he meant when he said weird. He said he'd know when it's weird. Instead, we decided to name him Grant because he was granted to us. Because we kinda thought na hindi pwede, but still, he came unexpectedly. I liked the name, so we went with it.

He didn't shake his head. He just stared at me, but even that little stare was enough to make me stop. Gosh. He really is Chester's son! Kuhang-kuha iyong mata pati iyong pagtingin!

"One more?"

He just stared at me. Gosh. Paano na kaya ako kapag nasa mood silang dalawa ni Chester? Wala akong makakausap sa bahay! They're like two peas in a pod.

Grant's eyes automatically lightened up nang dumating si Chester. There's no denying that this one's a daddy's boy. I mean, I couldn't blame him, honestly.

"Papa!" he said.

Mabilis na binuhat siya ni Chester. I shook my head at him and he just shrugged. Kakagaling niya lang kasi from work and as much as possible, ayaw ko na hinahawakan niya si Grant before siya magwash-up. Mahirap na, noh.

"Hey, bud," he said habang buhat niya na si Grant.

I just stood there and watched them habang nagkkwento si Grant sa nangyari sa araw niya. Ang dami niyang kwento kay Chester, to be honest kahit ang ginawa niya lang naman ngayong araw ay manood ng TV at magkalat sa bahay. Pero based sa kwento niya, akala mo may adventure kaming pinuntahan today.

"I'll just talk to Mama, okay?" sabi niya kay Grant na tumango lang tapos ay ibinaba niya. My hands were crossed against my chest nang lumapit siya sa akin. I shook my head. Natawa siya. "You know the rules."

"I know," he said as he wrinkled his nose. "How about flying kiss na lang?"

I rolled my eyes. "Parang bata."

Natawa siya nang kaunti. "Fine. Stay there. Ligo lang ako."

"Okay," I said. "Grant," I called. He groaned. "You know the drill, mister," I continued. Napailing na lang ako as I watched him march towards his room. Alam niya naman na his Papa has to wash-up first since galing sa hospital.

"Hindi ako ganyan," Chester said preemptively.

"Mas lalong hindi ako ganyan," I replied habang pinapanood pa rin namin magwalkout iyong anak namin.

"I think si Charlie iyong ganyan."

"Yeah... I think si Rhys din."

"So, walang namana sa atin?"

"Look at his face—basically you."

Natawa si Chester and didn't even try to refute me kasi as in kamukha niya talaga! Like at this point, ako lang iyong nagbuntis, pero si Chester talaga lahat. Pati paglabas, si Chester pa rin ang favorite.

"Yeah... not really sorry," he said.

I frowned. "Mean," I replied. "Chester..."

"Yeah?"

"Ligo ka muna. I'll tell you later."

Kumunot ang noo niya. "Why? Is it important?"

I nodded. "I think? Kinda?"

"Sabihin mo na ngayon."

"Ligo ka muna."

"Ayoko mag-overthink sa ilalim ng shower."
