Third P POV"Are you calm now?" Trev asked to his brother. He saw him drinking in a bar that they used to go to often. But when Nicholas started taking up the career as a professor, they rarely came here."Yeah." He exhaled. Trev gestured the bartender for a drink."Is she okay?" Nicholas asked, referring to Q. Now he realized how hurt she must be by his words."She cried and got a bit angry."He massaged his temple and bit his lip. Regretting what he said. And he regrets that he left like that and didn't talk to Q properly. But he couldn't go back. He's still confused."Actually, she wanted to come here with me, to talk to you." Nicholas turned to his brother. He got the courage to talk to her after hearing that. He stood up and was ready to go but before he could move his brother stop him."Where are you going?""I'll go and talk to her." Trev shook his head."Tomorrow bro. She must be resting now."He went back to his seat. Remembering Q's condition. She should be resting right now
QUIVA On the way to the hospital, my mind was filled thinking about my sister and Krist. They only left mind when my sister mentioned that her former doctor would also be my doctor."Female?" I asked."Yes.""That's good." I said. If its a guy doctor I won't go to get checked. I'll ask for another doctor. A girl doctor. It's just uncomfortable when it's a male. Won't he have to see me down there? I don't want to show whats down there even though his intention is purely health related."Does he know?" Sis asked. I didn't understood. "Huh?""Nicholas, does he know you're going to have a check-up today?""No." I answered quickly. I averted my face from them so they wouldn't see the sadness I was feeling."Gina told me you're planning to run away with your child." I immediately turned to her when she said that. "Run away?" I asked loudly, laughing a little because that was the term Gina used."It's not easy to raise a child alone Quiva." Her tone made me nervous. She sounds so serious."
QUIVA "Do you want me to come with you?" I immediately shook my head at my sister's question. I'm sure that's what Gina wanted to say. My sister only asked it first. "It's okay. I'll just ask Trev to drive me home---" I stopped. I don't know if Nicholas and I will be okay after this talk. Trev might not be able to take me home because he sprained his ankle. I'll just get a taxi."It's really fine. AA might be looking for you. Thank you, sis." She nodded and gave me a hug."Call me when there's a problem." She said worried. I nodded. I bid goodbye to Gina. I know she has problems with Krist too so I won't drag her to my problem."Text me." She said before she went inside my sister's car."What happened?" I greeted to Trev. He was walking around with a bandage wrapped around his ankle. He's wearing a pajama that I think belongs to Nicholas as well as the top he's wearing."Where's your brother?""He's in his room. Still sleeping." I frowned. Its already noon he's still asleep? It's al
QUIVA "What made you think I won't want our child? I want our baby. I don't just want our baby, I love our baby! I love them!" He even laughed at what he said. I glared at him slightly. He wants a twin."I will never reject our child. I'm so happy. We now have a baby." He said with a smile while looking intently at me. His eyes were shimmering as if he was about to cry.My heart melted. I don't know what to say. My tongue was cut off and I couldn't think of anything else. Only he's words."You don't know how happy I am." He alternately stare deeply into my eyes. "We have a baby." He said with a smile on his face but with tears in his eyes. Then he suddenly hugged me tight again. I couldn't move. His hug was so tight. I stayed silent. Feel his hug. I can feel the loud beating of his heart and the warmth of his body. I could feel his words deeply by the way he hugs me. I could feel he accepts my pregnancy. That he accepts our child.I heard him sniff lightly. Why I think that he was c
QUIVA"N-no! I don't want to!" I pushed his face away from me. I heard him groan. Right, his cheek hurts a bit."Just one.""Stop Nicholas!" I yell at him but I'll give in just a little more. I want a kiss too, but no! We might wouldn't be able to talk. And will just end up doing something else."Are you done talking? Can I go back to eating?" I jumped a little when I suddenly heard Trevor's voice. We can only see half of his body, he is peeking through the door.I didn't answer. I didn't also heard Nicholas speak. Trev then entered the kitchen and sat in his place earlier. Jane followed behind him and sat next to him. I saw Jane glance at me. I just glanced at her too.Nicholas went to the other side of the table, in front of me. Trev continued to eat what he was eating earlier. I took another bite of my pizza."Have you eaten lunch?" Nicholas asked. I didn't looked at him. I'm looking at Trev who's putting food in front of Jane. A slice of pizza, a plate, chicken and more.The two d
QUIVA"Just eat. Stop watching me." I said rudely and distracted myself on eating."You had your check up this morning?" He suddenly asked. I immediately turned to him and put down the fork I was holding. I nodded slowly while chewing my food."What did the doctor say?" I didn't answer right away because I was still chewing. When my mouth got clear I answered him."Everything is fine. I did some blood and urine tests. She gave me vitamins and informed me what I should and shouldn't do.""Like?" He asked interestedly. He didn't take his eyes off me."No alcohols, no smoking, no stress, no medicine other than the medicines she'll prescribe to me, avoid active activities and many more." I told him. He nodded and looked away.I watched him, he was thinking deeply. He was like that for a few moments before looking at me again."I wish I was there." He said weakly.My heart hurts. I wish he was there too. But I know it's my fault why he wasn't there earlier. There is more to come. "On my ne
Let's go backward a little.QUIVA"I'm fine here." I told him calmly. He wants to take me upstairs but my sister might talk to him if I let him take me up there. He didn't speak but didn't get into his car either and only looked at me."I'll take you." I watched his serious face. Looks like he won't leave not until he accompany me to my unit. I glared in the air and walked towards the elevator. He followed immediately.When we were outside my unit, I faced him and did not open the door. I know its rude, he drove me here, but I don't want him to go inside. My sister might won't let him go and she might tell him something to him. If they'll talk, I don't want anyone to get force or force someone. So if he will be forced to, I won't let him inside."We're here. You can go." I said weakly. Not coming from deep within me. I don't want him to go because I feel guilty of being rude but I also don't want him to stay because of sister."Can't I stay?" He asked huskily.I looked into his eyes f
QUIVA"It's not that easy to do." I said problematic. It sounds easy but its not. I've been played before and I know I should be more cautious this time but asking him about his true feelings for me is not easy. I'm scared, I'm scared of what he might answer. I'm scared of getting more broken."You just have to ask him." Gina said seriously. I shook my head."What if he says he doesn't love me and only wants my child? What if his answers are the answers I'm afraid to hear?" I said scared."At least you have his answers. At least you know his answers. Its better than not knowing what his answers are. Better than not knowing what he's feeling for you." Sister said very carefully and precisely. She's certain about what she said."You need to talk about it. So that there is no misunderstanding. So that you can be clear with each other.""What if he's just waiting for you to ask him?"We all looked at Krist's who suddenly spoke."We don't just simply say our real feelings. We look for the
