#MYFinalChapter 

"You're enjoying this, you devil."

"No, I'm not," Levi replied, trying his darnest to hold his grin.

"Then let's cancel."

"No," he said. "Your parents traveled all the way from the province and my dad had to cancel an important business meeting."

"I know, but I'm in a freaking wheelchair!" inis na sabi ko sa kanya habang tulak-tulak niya ako. Mas lalo lang akong na-bwisit sa kanya nang tuluyan na siyang natawa. I pinched his arm and he yelled in pain.

"Yanyan!" sabi niya habang hawak iyong parte na kinurot ko.

"You know that we're having this dinner tonight, and you just had to bend me in ways that humans aren't meant to be bent!" I hissed at him at mas lalo lang siyang natawa. And there's nothing funny about this! Ngayon iyong pamamanhikan tapos ang kulit-kulit pa rin niya kagabi!

"I told you, I'm sorry," he said, not really sounding apologetic. "We'll tell them you... twisted your ankle."

I groaned. "I hate you."

"I love you, too," he said as we stopped in front of door of the function area. It was a pretty huge function area dahil sa laki ng pamilya namin. Ngayon ko lang na-realize na pareho kami ni Levi na galing sa malaking pamilya.

"Ready?" he asked.

"God, I hate you," I said as I shake my head. Bihira na nga lang kaming magkita ng pamilya ko, magsisinungaling pa ako sa kanila. Si Levi kasi talaga, kainis! It wasn't my fault na halos twice lang kami nagkita ngayong buwan dahil sa schedule niya kaya naman nung nagkita kami kagabi, kulang na lang baliin niya iyong buto ko!

For a moment there, I thought I was doing acrobatics!

Levi kneeled so we're face to face. "I love you. Sorry about last night—actually, not really sorry, but sorry about your—"

I groaned again. "Just shut up," sabi ko tapos natawa na naman siya. He just planted a kiss on my cheek bago binuksan iyong pintuan.

We're already supposed to be the center of attention dahil kami iyong ikakasal, pero mas naging ako iyong center of attention dahil nasa wheel chair ako.

Naka-bisado ko na iyong script ko—I was in a wheelchair because I just finished a 19-hour operation so bangag na bangag ako and I missed a step.

That simple.

As opposed to what really freaking happened.

"What do you want for dinner?" Levi asked while we're on the way back to my condo. We decided na sa condo ko siya titira—but my family didn't know because they're against cohabitation. I mean, whatever, really. My motto is kung wala namang nasasaktan sa ginagawa ko, then I really wouldn't give a shit about anyone's opinion. Buhay ko naman 'to.

"I don't know... Pizza?"

"I want rice, Yan," he replied while he's driving.

Buong drive ay pinagtatalunan lang namin kung ano ang kakainin namin. Hanggang sa maka-balik kami sa condo, iyon pa rin ang pinag-uusapan namin. Malapit na talaga akong gumawa ng fishbowl na may name ng pagkain para 'di nauubos oras namin sa ganito.

"Thank you," I said when he carried me and plopped me down on the sofa. "Pahinging water, please?"

"Okay, babe," he said, but he went back outside.

My phone vibrated. I groaned when I saw that it was Dr. Tan telling me that I'd take on his schedule. 'Di pa rin kasi tapos iyong utang ko sa kanya nung sinalo niya iyong sched ko the last time. God. I couldn't catch a fucking break!

"You have a parcel," Levi said.

"What is it?" I asked, angrily typing 'Okay' kahit na masama ang loob ko. I was hoping for a benign day dahil pagod pa rin ako sa last surgery. Nakaka-pagod talaga.

"Wait," Levi said. "It's a mug—"

"No!" mabilis na sigaw ko nang ma-realize ko kung ano iyong binubuksan niya. I almost jumped from the sofa and tackled him dahil surprise dapat iyon!

"Yanyan..." he said, looking at me while holding the freaking mug! Ugh! I was such a scatter-brain lately! Bakit nalimutan ko na nag-order nga pala ako nung customized mug na 'yun?! "Why... am I holding a mug that says 'World's greatest dad?'"

I groaned.

"Are you—" sabi niya at saka mabilis na lumapit sa akin. He sat on the empty space beside me and looked at me with his eyes wide open. "Are you pregnant?"

"Yes," I said, frowning.

"Oh, thank God!" he said, pulling me close and enveloping me inside his arms. "I was starting to think my sperms have problems. With all the sex we're doing—"

I groaned again. "I was supposed to make you coffee and then wake you up and give you that mug..."

He broke the hug and looked at me. He reached for my hand and planted a kiss on my knuckle. "You can still wake me up tomorrow and make me coffee, you know?"

I rolled my eyes. "Well, I'm pregnant. Kuha mo akong tubig bilis."

He laughed. "Fine," he said, standing up. "Have you had your check-up? I need to come."

Umiling ako. "Hindi pa. Hindi ko pa nasasabi kay Niles. 'Wag mong sasabihin kay Marcus!" I warned him. Nung nalaman ni Niles na nagpa-kasal kami ni Levi sa Milan, sinabunutan niya talaga ako! She's so pissed that even when she's going through labor, nagawa niya pa akong sabunutan!

"I promise," he said, handing me my water. "Oh, shit," he continued, his eyes widening.

"What?" tanong ko na medyo nabahala sa reaksyon niya.

"Shit. You should've told me so I didn't bend you like that—"

"It's okay to have sex—"

"What if I hit our baby—"

"Levi, you're a gifted man, but you're not a horse, okay?" sabi ko habang pini-pigilan ang tawa dahil parang nabunutan siya ng tinik sa dibdib. Did he really think na aabot sa uterus ko 'yun?

"Seriously?" he asked, still sounding skeptical.

I nodded. "Yup. Affirmative. Your wife's a doctor, remember?"

He nodded with relief. "Do you know how many months?"

"14 weeks," I said.

"So, not Iceland baby."

"No. It's probably a kitchen-counter baby."

Levi groaned. "Please don't call our baby kitchen-counter baby."

"I mean, if it's the truth?" I replied, shrugging. "You know, since I'm pregnant, I need foot rubs," sabi ko habang pina-patong sa legs niya iyong paa ko.

"I have a feeling that you're about to be a lot bossier now that you're pregnant."

I scoffed, shaking my head. "Oh, Levi... You have no idea..." I said as I closed my eyes as I let my husband rub my swollen feet.
