Special chapter 4: Happy family
“MARKUS!” I call my husband. It was loud but my voice was still calm. I’m sitting on the edge of the bed holding that huge bump in my belly. “Markus!” I called him again when I felt my baby kick in my stomach.
“Mama, are you okay?” Azethmarkian ask me when he entered our room.
He came to me and smiled when he saw my big bump. So, he held it too, gently. I took a deep breath when my stomach ache subsided.
“I’m fine, my son. Where’s your Papa?” I asked him and I tried hard to hide my emotions.
“Nasa baba po, feeding Marue and her babies,” he replied and placed his ear on my tummy as if he was going to listen to his little sister. They do this often, so glad to see them like this. But not now, please.
I touched his hair and I couldn’t bend down to kiss his head because of the pain I feel, right now.
“Call your Papa, son,” my sweet command to him.
“Alright, Mama! Wait a minute!” he said happily and ran out of the room.
I once again took a deep breath and touched my stomach. “Don’t make Mama suffer, my baby,” pagkakausap ko sa anak namin ni Markus.
Ngayon ang due date ko at si Markus. Sumasabay sa init ng ulo ko nang naglilihi pa man ako. Though mas nahirapan ako ngayon dahil masyadong maarte ang anak namin pero hindi naman siya nagsawang alagaan ako at mahaba ang pasensiya niya. Ibinibigay niya ang mga gusto ko lalo na naikuwento niya rin sa akin na dati ay parang ganoon daw siya.
Kaya nasabi ni Papa na kaya pala hindi ako masyadong naglilihi noon ay nasalo pala iyon ni Markus.
Napatingin ako sa pintuan nang bumukas iyon at pumasok ang asawa ko. Naka-piggy back sa kanya si Markhanniel habang hawak naman niya sa kamay si Azethmarkian. They were fun to watch but not today with my stomach hurting.
“What is it, baby?” He came to where I was and put our son down to bed.
“I think I’m about to give birth, Markus,” I answered and my husband’s eyebrows raised.
When I say that my face was emotionless and looked normal or wala lang sa akin ang manganak.
“Baby? Are you kidding me?” he asked me and my face became darker.
He swallowed and touched my stomach. He also reached for my hand that has been cold for a while.
“True? A-Are you about to give birth?” paniniguradong tanong pa niya sa akin. Mukha ba akong nagbibiro sa sinabi ko?
I want to frown at him. Like
that I hid my emotions to him so that he wouldn’t panic to take me to the hospital. Even though my stomach hurts.
“Go get our baby stuff in our closet. Get it all ready,” I commanded him and his eyes widened. He stood up and went straight to the right side. “Baby, the closet is on the left,” I said and he quickly turned around towards there.
Crunchy cursing is all I ever heard from him. “Mama... Mama... Are you okay?” magkasabay na tanong sa akin ng mga anak ko. I only offered them a frugal smile because my stomach ache is getting worse.
“I’m fine. Mark, come on down, son. Tell Mang Simone to prepare our car,” I said and he nodded and left the bed.
“Mang Simone!” he call Mang Simone even though he hasn’t come down yet.
“What about me, Mama? What am I going to do?” Azeth asked me a nervous question. Obviously worried about me.
“Just stay here beside me, my son,” I said and he hugged me. Apparently he’s talking to my stomach because I can hear his wee voice.
