Jeff's POV _

As soon as I heard about my pregnancy I became dumbfounded.

But Biben asked for my decision. I know I'm not mentally prepared for this but I can't let go our child.

Our own child is growing inside me. We're gonna be parents.

I'm happy. I'm happy that our child will carry the symbol of our love.

I assured him that I want to give birth to our child. I can see the overwhelming happiness in his eyes.

Now we're going to my in-laws first.

As soon as We entered, mom hugged me. We sat down. Biben's Pa and brother also joined us.

"Oh son how are you? I thought you guys already forgot about us. Mae wanted to see you so badly... BTW How you guys ended up here? There's must be a reason. Am I right?"

I nodded slightly.

"What's wrong? Everything is ok?... Bible! You're not taking good care of my son! Why he looks so thin?"

"Mae... It's not that... Actually we went to the doctor."

"Doctor! Son, are you ok?"

"Yeah he's fine but..."

"Just spill it out!"

"Mae... Jeff is... Pregnant... He's carrying our baby."

Biben says out. I look at them. Of course they're shocked.

I feel shy and uncomfortable. But she pulled my chin and looks at me for consent with Biben's speech.

I nodded. She immediately pulled me into a hug.

No one is talking but smiling only tears are flowing from her eyes.

"Mae.. you ok?"

"I'm ok son... I'm so happy... You hear that honey.. we're gonna have our grandchild.. thanks son."

They wished us.

"Son from now on You'll stay with Mae. Ok? Mae will take care of you. I don't believe him."

She pointed Biben.

"Maeee... I also take care of my husband. Ask him."

"Yeah yeah I know. Now shift all of you guys belongings here... Son you wanna eat something? Let Mae make you something."

"No need Mae. I don't feel like eating."

"I know. But you have to. Or you'll be more weak. Wait. And you take him upstairs, carefully. "

"Sure Mae."

My father-in-law went to talk with my parents and Phi went to bring our belongings here.

Biben lifts me up.

"What are you doing? Put me down."

"You don't need to use your feet. You have to Be more careful. I can't take any risk"

"I'm fine. I can walk by myself now."

"No. You're already weak. You need rest."

"Ok fine. As you wish."

He took me to his room. I looked around.

There are lots of his childhood photos, toys and other things.

"You were cute back then."

He hugged me from behind.

"So I'm not cute now?"

He pouts his lips and kissed my neck.

"No... You're damn handsome."

"And my babe is so sexy.."

"Shut up... What are you saying?"

He starts giving me soft kisses.

"Stop... it tickles"

Suddenly Mae entered with a soup bowl in her hand.

What an embarrassment! We apart immediately.

"Well son... Take your food. And Bible.. get these medicines."

"Sure.."

She let me sit and feed me with her hand.

"It's good?"

"Yeah... Mae.."

"Now take some rest. Mae will visit you again. Take the medicines Bible's gonna brought. Ok."

I nodded. She kissed my forehead and left. Biben brought me some medicine.

After some time my parents, Apo, Biu come to visit me.

Mom and Apo both hugged me tight. Now it's Biu's turn. He made ma chocked my breath for a moment.

"Biuu... "

"I'm so happy!!!"

My pa is here too. Well it's a bit... Akward but he comes closer and hugged me.

I feel like crying. I hugged him back.

"Take care of yourself and our grandchild."

He patted my head.

The elders left to talk with each other. Only Biu & Apo are here to express their happiness by chocking out my breath.

"You guys gonna keep hugging me like this... I can't... Breath."

"Shut up Jeff... We're hugging the baby." Biu snapped back.

"He's right."

I look at Biben who's laughing at their sillyness.

So I have to stay between their arms like this.

Everyone left after dinner. I'm tired and Biben carried me upstairs.

"Everyone is hugging my baby... Can I get a hug too?"

I just smiled. He slightly wrapped his arms around my tummy.

"Babe... I'm just happy..."

"I know."

"Hey we haven't decided how we should plan our baby's room. About his tiny bed, tiny clothes and others."

"His?"

"Ok.. her. We should plan about her school too."

"Her?"

"Ok his... No, her.... Oi... I'm confused."

I chuckled at his face.

"You want a baby boy or a baby girl?"

"I don't care. I just want our baby. That's it. I love him or her after all."

"Still..."

"Let me think then... Mnn... I think... I want a beautiful princess just like you."

"Well then... I want a stubborn prince like you."

"I just can't wait to see our angel."

"Me too."

Biben kissed my forehead and hugged me back again.

I fell asleep in his arms.
