epilogue

"Last one step, then we're way to go."

All I could see was black. It was from the handkerchief wrapped around my eyes. I couldn't see an inch but Kellan was just beside me, holding my hand, my sight right now, as he guided me to the last step of the stairs.

I stepped up on the last stair. "Here we go." he excitedly said.

I heard the door opened and he guided me inside. "You ready?" he asked.

"Bilisan na kasi! I can't wait, nakaka-excite 'tong ginagawa mo sa akin." I stubbornly said.

"Fine, fine!"

His gentle hands started to fumble the knot on the handkerchief. The moment it was removed, I immediately opened my eyes.

"Oh, my God! What is this?!" I exclaimed, eyes wide, mouth opened.

The last time we came here, it was only a small amount of toys and teddy bears, books, small table and only one crib.

But today was different. Mas rumami ang mga baby stuffs. Three of everything. Three stuff toys and bears, three tables, three tables, and three baby cribs.

"You mean..."

"Yes, my love. We're going to have triplets," simpleng sabi niya habang tinitignan ang reaksyon ko.

"How'd you know?"

"Of course, I should know. I'm the father," he smirked, a playful one.

"You lying bastard!" hinampas ko siya sa dibdib. "'Di ba sabi mo dun na natin alamin kung nanganak na ako?! You made this agreement, Kellan!"

Humalakhak siya. "Sorry, my love. Hindi talaga kasi ako makakapaghintay na malaman."

A smiled crept on my face kahit na naiinis ako. Pumasok ako sa silid at napansin kong malambot ang sahig. Meron palang mga foam play mats na nakapalibot sa kahit saang sulok ng kwarto. Colorful talaga ang kwarto and you could feel the childlike aura in here. It was like being a kid again, wanting to have your childhood back.

"Ang ganda..." I mumbled.

I felt his warm presence behind me. "Noong first month mo pa lang, alam ko ng triplets ang anak natin. Sinabi sa akin ng doctor... Secretly. We made this agreement to make you excited,"

I rolled my eyes. This man is so full of irritating suprises! "Tell me something I still don't know then."

"They're all baby boys."

I spun around to look at him. "Weh? Paano mo nalaman?"

"Kasi diniin ko ang pagpasok sa'yo,"

My eyebrow raised. He's so full of himself, my gosh! "And so? Hindi porke't idiin mo ay lalaki na ang anak natin,"

"'Di kaya," patol pa niya. "Kapag dinidiin ng isang lalaki ang pagpasok sa isang babae, it means lalaki ang magiging anak niyan. I totally forgot the scientific explanation kasi narinig ko lamang iyon sa kaklase ko noon but well,"

"Duh! Naniwala ka naman!"

After ten months...

"Hi Hero! Hi Evan! Hi Drake! Good morning!" masiglang bati ko sa mga anak na nakahiga sa dibdib ni Kellan. Gising na silang tatlo pero hindi pa rin sila gumagalaw. Parang gusto nilang mag-stay lang sa dibdib ni Kellan. My sons are too cute!

On the other hand, Kellan was still asleep, his hand rested on Drake's butt. Seriously? Hindi ba siya nabibigatan? Eh kasi naman, medyo mataba ang mga anak ko so they're a bit heavy to carry.

"Goodmorning babies. Did you have a good night sleep?"

Evan let out a toothless smile as he got out of Kellan's embrace and crawled to me.

Hero was the first one I gave birth to. Evan was the second and Drake was the last one. I fall in love even more everytime I see them. They looked just like their father and they all have light brown eyes except that Hero had a dark-brownish eyes. Just a look on their eyes, alam na kung sino ang ama.

I thought of Hero. Hero would probably the most responsible one. According to our ob-gyne doctor, when I was pregnant, Hero was below the two of them. It means, Hero was carrying Drake and Evan at the same time with his small body inside me.

Evan though, he's the cutest one. He had really chubby cheeks and when he smiles, his eyes disappears. Makulit rin siya at iyakin.

And lastly, Drake. Manang-mana sa ama niya. Makulit! Sobra! He's so carefree. Bata pa lang, makulit na. What more when he grows up? Si Drake rin ang may pinakamaraming buhok sa kanilang tatlo. They're only five months old pero marami nang tumutubong buhok sa ulo ni Drake. Iyakin rin si Drake like his kuya. Kellan and I would wake up every midnight just to hushed them two down to sleep.

We aren't complaining. We already expected these things. We were ready. Kahit nakaka-stress minsan dahil tatlo ang aalagaan namin, masaya pa rin kami. Taking care of our three cute sons make us happy.

In a span of ten months, maraming nangyari. After I gave birth Kellan and I already got married at church sa hometown nila. Si Father Luna pa ang nagpakasal sa amin. And knowing that the Donovan is a popular name in business, social media and showbiz world, we wouldn't want to show off our wedding. I just wanted to have a simple wedding ceremony with him and our loved and closed ones. Meron rin namang videographer and photographer to take their parts in the whole event kaunti lang sila. We didn't want our wedding ceremony to be shown in television.

Kellan and I had our honeymoon in Maldives. Mahilig kasi siya sa beaches and he thought of Maldives as his favorite rest place so he brought me there. He even joked about buying the resort we stayed in but well, he was planning it. Geez.

Hindi rin namin pinahuli ang Europe, specifically nilibot namin ang buong europa. Nag-stay kami sa hotel na pagmamay-ari ng kuya niya, for free, even the foods. Gusto ko kasi sa europe at dun rin pala siya halos lumaki so yeah, meant to be talaga kami.

And also, we already had our own restaurant. 'D'Vyan' was the name. It was named after me pero kay Kellan talaga ang restaurant na iyon, sa aming dalawa pero siya talaga ang kilalang may-ari n'yon. Marami na siyang branches and knowing na si Kellan Donovan ang may-ari, sikat at kapatid ng isa sa mga pinakamayamang businessman ay agad iyon sumikat. It was first established in europe, at the main branch of

I carried Evan and brought him to their room. He immediately squealed when he saw his favorite huge teddy bear. I gently let him go and let him crawl to the teddy bear. Evan was scanning the bear confusedly then reached his hand on its mouth.

Lumapit ako sa kanya at pinaupo siya sa mga hita ko. "Evan, he's cute, right? He's cute just like you," he looked up to me and I swear, I saw Kellan in his eyes.

The moment later, I felt heavy footsteps behind. I looked up and see Kellan carrying Hero and Drake in his arms. Damn, I could see his abs from here. He looked so hot. Hot daddy.

Yes, may abs na ulit siya! And balik siya pagwowork-out three times. May gym naman dito sa bahay at madalas ay dito na siya nagwowork-out. I think I need a work-out too.

"Good morning, my love." He sat down beside me and snatched a kiss on my lips. "Good morning to you too, my youngest man." He leaned down to kiss Evan's cheek na hindi naman niya pinansin.

Hinalikan ko rin sa kani-kanilang pisngi si Drake at Hero na parang wala lang rin sa kanila. My sons are snobbers!

"I'll eternally be grateful with my family."

I heard Kellan mumbled the moment silence conquered the room.
