"What's for breakfast, chef?"

Mula sa niluluto ay lumingon sa'kin si Zayden. I smiled at him and hugged him from behind.

"Someone's clingy." he chuckled. Inangat niya ang isang braso para iakbay sa'kin kaya ngayon ay nasa gilid na niya ako.

I smiled and tiptoed to kiss his cheeks. "Good morning." I greeted with a sweet smile.

He grinned and kissed my forehead. "It's a good morning indeed."

I clung onto him while I waited for him to finish cooking our breakfast. Pancakes- Levi's request before he went to sleep last night.

"Where's our son?" he asked me.

Ngumuso ako. "He's still asleep." I answered and let go of him. "I'll wake him up." I said and kissed him on the lips before I left to go back to our room.

"Levi? Baby, wake up na. Nagluto si daddy ng pancakes for you." I smiled and laid down beside my son who was still sleeping soundly.

It's been a month since Zayden started living with us and it was nothing but pure bliss. The three of us have a lot of fun everyday, specially Zayden and Levi who get along pretty well.

Ilang beses na nga din silang napagkamalang mag-ama talaga kapag lumalabas kami, tuwang tuwa naman si Zayden.

"Baby ko, gising ka na." humalik ako sa pisngi niya para magising pero natigilan nang maramdamang medyo mainit siya. I suddenly panicked and ran to the bathroom to look for our thermometer.

I hurriedly turned it on and stuck it in my son's armpit. I was sweating while waiting for it to beep and when it did, I immediately looked at it. 37.9

"Zayden?" kaagad akong lumabas para hanapin ang asawa ko. Naghahain na siya sa kusina nang maabutan ko.

"Is Levi awake?" he asked.

"No, I think he has a fever." nag-aalala kong sabi. Nangunot ang noo niya at kaagad dumiretso sa kwarto para silipin ang bata.

He checked Levi's temperature and kissed his head first before he went back to the kitchen to cook chicken soup for him. Ako naman ay naghanap ng gamot na pwedeng ipainom. This isn't the first time that Levi had fever kaya alam ko na ang gagawin.

Pinunasan ko muna si Levi at pinainom ng tubig. Umiiyak siya kaninang nagising kaya pinatahan ko pa. I told him that his dad's already preparing his breakfast para pagkatapos ay makakainom na siya ng gamot.

Yakap yakap niya ang favorite niyang Koala stuffed toy na si Goofy habang hinihintay si Zayden.

Medyo natuyo na ang mga luha niya sa pisngi nang pumasok ang daddy niya sa kwarto, dala ang tray na may pagkain para sa kanya.

"Daddy..." Levi mumbled and sniffed when he saw him.

"I have pancakes and chicken soup for my big boy." ngumiti si Zayden at nilapag ang tray sa kama. Tumayo naman ako at kinuha ang bed table para makakain nang maayos si Levi.

"Subuan ka ni daddy?" malambing na tanong ni Zayden at inihipan ang sabaw. Levi pouted and nodded.

Parang lantang gulay si Levi maghapon dahil sa lagnat. Pahirapan din kaming painumin siya ng gamot dahil ayaw niya sa lasa. Kailangan pang utuin ni Zayden para mapainom.

"If he still doesn't feel better until tomorrow, we'll have to take him to the hospital." Zayden told me. Hindi na ako umapila dahil nag-aalala din ako.
