Lahat ng Kabanata ng One Week Stand: Kabanata 101 - Kabanata 110

I woke up to quite a heavy morning sickness. Basta na lang akong nakaramdam na parang nasusuka kaya mula sa pagkakatulog ay diretso ako sa CR para sumuka.Zandrey probably heard me kasi agad siyang sumunod sa akin sa CR. He gathered all my hair for me para hindi iyon madumihan. I feel bad kasi mga isang oras pa lang ang tulog niya because he came from a graveyard shift. Pero kahit pagod ay umalalay pa rin siya.I realized just how easy really things are ever since he came here.Just like any other day, I still stayed in bed rest. Hindi muna ako bumalik sa trabaho o gumawa ng mabibigat na bagay kasi hindi pa pwede, unless the doctor tells me it's already okay to do things.I miss doing something, but I have to do this. I don't wanna be selfish and follow just everything I wanted. Hindi lang isa ang dapat kong isipin ngayon. May isa nang nadagdag. Konti na lang din naman ang matatapos ang first trimester. Siguro naman ay hindi na magiging ganoon kahirap.Matapos magsuka ay medyo naging o

I've been feeling so heavy lately. Ramdam ko nang malapit nang lumabas ang baby. Hindi na ako pwedeng maiwang mag-isa sa bahay because anytime, this baby will come out. Everybody was taking turns staying with me. Kahit si Daisy ay dito natutulog para samahan ako kapag night shift si Zandrey sa ospital. All our stuff are already packed and ready. Kaya kung sakali mang manganganak na nga ako ay diretso alis na kami.It's still past noon. Si Daisy iyong kasama ko ngayon kasi nasa ospital si Zandrey saka nasa work si Daddy. Si Mommy Emily naman ay bukas pa daw makakapunta kasi may inaasikaso. Hindi naman sana duty ni Zandrey but he was needed there kasi naaksidente iyong isang doctor nila kay siya muna ang pumalit."Everything starts at small naman talaga diba?" Daisy murmured. Pinag-uusapan kasi namin iyong plano niyang kompanya. She's been researching a lot these days at medyo may skeleton na iyong plano niya. I'm so proud of her."Of course," I replied. "Say for example, my shop. It st

"Can we please... make this work?"Paulit-ulit iyong bumabalik sa isip ko. Dad, Mom, and Daisy are still around but it was like it's just us here. It was like we were oblivious with our surroundings.Alam kong darating iyong oras na kailangan namin itong pag-usapan. Tatlo na iyong anak namin and we have to be firm on where this is really heading us. Sa utak ko, I was okay with just being a co-parent. We were working it out. I believe we have been great parents the past months.But maybe we cannot just stay like this forever. Kasi may mga batang involved. But I don't think I was ready for any talk about this, or was I? Baka tinatakbuhan ko lang din iyong topic. Maybe I'm a coward. Maybe I don't have the bones to face all of these because I was scared of where this would lead us.Pero dahil nga sa patuloy na pagtatanong sa sarili, I can't help but also wonder.Can we really make this work?I looked around and it seemed like all the people inside have sensed where our talk is going."Pwe

"Ako na," Zandrey whispered when we heard Baby Andrew crying. I'm not sure what the time is right now. Ang tanging alam ko ay madaling-araw na.Thankfully, it's the start of Zandrey's day off kaya andito siya ngayon. He just got home after a long duty at the hospital a few hours ago. Pero kahit na pagod mula sa trabaho, he still insisted on taking care of the baby. Hindi naman ako mapakali kung hahayaan ko lang siya gayung hindi pa nga sapat iyong pahinga niya."Ako na," I insisted. Nakabangon na siya pero mabilis din akong kumilos para bumangon. "Galing ka pa sa trabaho. Go back to bed and sleep," matigas na sabi ko. Hindi ko sigurado kung tatablan siya 'nong tono ng pagsasalita ko. There are quite a lot of people who gets intimidated when I talk. Pero isa ata talaga si Zandrey sa mga taong walang takot sa akin.I remember back in college, when we first met, nagkapalagayan agad kami ng loob. On normal situations, that would not happen kasi hindi naman ako friendly at madali akong mak

Exactly on a Sunday, Andrew turned a month old. Wala naman sana kaming balak na mag-party o kahit anong medyo bongga kasi hindi niya pa naman 'yon maaalala. But Daisy being Daisy, she was able to pursuade me into having a gathering for Andrew's 1st month. Kami lang naman daw, simpleng dinner lang, at photography sesh.Uso kasi ngayon iyong creative na pictures when a baby turns a month old. Kung ano-anong pakulo nga iyong nakikita namin online while we were trying to look for an inspo. Gusto nga sanang gayahin ni Daisy but I stopped her. As much as possible, gusto ko iyong simple lang.The theme for this gathering is baby blue. Lahat ay kulay baby blue iyong suot.Before the dinner, the photoshoot will take place. Gusto ko sanang kami lang din iyong mag-picture since we have decent phone cameras. But again, Daisy being Daisy, she hired a professional photographer. Gumastos pa talaga siya para dito."Ay, ang pogi!" she commented when she saw Andrew wearing the little baby blue polo shi
