I felt the tortorous pain after giving birth to Uno. I felt exhausted and was unable to move. I slowly opened my eyes. I sighed a breath of relief."Love?" Jonas called, holding my right hand."L-Love," I called out lifelessly. "W-Where's our baby?""He is sleeping, love.""Can I see him?"Tears welled in his eyes. He sniffed and smiled. He leaned closer and kissed my forehead."You did a great job, love. I'm so proud of you," he said in between his low cry. "You rest first. Uno will be here anytime soon.""I'm hungry, love. How long did I sleep?"He checked his golden wristwatch then turned to me again."Five hours," he stated. "What do you want to eat? Your parents are coming over.""Anything, love. Just don't give me something smelly.""Okay. Can you wait?""Hmm," I gave him a small smile."I'll be back. I'm not taking long."He kissed my forehead first before he left the room. When

When Uno turned three months old, he and Fial was christened at the same time. Everyone was shocked, especially Jonas and I's  circle of friends, when they found out we have a baby already. Jonas didn't tell his friends Ethan, Ximi and Baste"We thought Jonas will remain forever single and virgin," Ximi said in between his laugh. "Who would have thought he has Uno?""We never planned this either, Ximi. It just happened," I replied. "But we're happy."Jonas and I are blissful with each other. We have no problem or any fight. I was the one adjusting to his schedule. He will just make up in his day off."I'm glad you guys are happy," he said with a smile."How about you with Luca?"Luca was his wife. They already have a baby too."We're good, E. We're happy too."Luca and Ximi smiled. What a lovely couple.A week after t

"Why are you late?" I asked coldly.I confronted Jonas when he went home so late in the evening. I noticed how late he went home like it's his regular schedule. Sometimes he went home around one in the morning."Work, love. Why are you still awake?" He asked back, his voice was rough and tired."I waited you all day and night. What kind of work are you doing and why it is consuming your time?"I never demanded his attention, his time and presence. My point was he never had the time to take care of Uno."Love, can we talk about it the other day? I'm tired-""I am also tired taking care of your child, Jonas. I am not asking you to give me attention but have you forgotten about Uno?"He closed his eyes and breathed heavily. He was trying to control his anger. I can sense it."So, what do you want me to do?" He asked calmly but I could still feel his anger.I took a deep breath and walked away. I sat on the edge of my bed an

After that, we went back to our son. Uno was being carried by Manang Marites. He was silent, throwing his hands in the air. He was wearing mittens and booties."Thank you, Manang," I said to Manang and carefully took my son in my arms. "I'll change his diaper now.""I will cook. What do you want to eat later?""Sinigang na baboy, Manang. Thank you.""I'll cook, Manang," Jonas butted in from behind me. "I think you should take a rest.""Okay, but if you need something, just call me in my room."I smiled to Manang Marites before she left. Jonas and I were left here in the living room."I'll just prepare our lunch, love," Jonas told me."Sure, love. Thank you." I smiled to him.I changed Uno's diaper first. I applied petroleum jelly for the baby on his thigh because that's what Mommy taught me."Be g

I woke up when something was hitting my breast. When I opened my eyes, I realized Uno was stomping his feet against my chest. He was whimpering."Uno," I called in my husky voice. My throat felt dry.I changed his position, pulling him closer to me. I pulled up the hem of my dress and breastfed my son. I knew this was what he needed."Wake up, love. It's already ten in the morning," I heard Jonas' voice but I didn't know where was that coming from. I ignored him. I was still sleepy for pete's sake. Uno slept around two in the morning and do did I. If I will force myself to get up, it would only hurt my head."Love," Jonas' annoying voice. "Get up already. We have to feed Uno."Having no choice, I opened my eyes and searched for Jonas. He was fixing our bed without me knowing it."Uno will take a bath and we will feed him after," he said cheerfully. His smiles were as radiating as the sunrise.Today was the first day that

We went down the stairs after that. Uno was ready to eat for the first time. Jonas was the one who prepared it. But before that, we soaked that feeding bowl and silicone spoon on a hot water."It looks like a smoothie," I remarked as Jonas was mixing the infant cereal.I put the baby bib around Uno's neck. Jonas chose it. It was a blue elephant with a statement below it saying, "Mommy's best boy.""Yes, love," he agreed.Since I don't know how to feed Uno, I let Jonas do it while I was watching him. I studied how Jonas put a generous amount of cereal on the silicone spoon and fed Uno with it. Uno was sitting on my lap while Jonas was sitting across from us."It looks like you have been doing this before," I commented.If it was me, my hands will probably shake. But for him, it was like he used to do it."I have younger siblings and I used to feed

"Say ah, Uno. This will be the last,"It's already nine in the morning. Uno and I were left here in the house. Manang was out for grocery while Jonas went to his work."Uno!" I shouted in startle.I panicked when Uno's face reddened and he was about to vomit. I made him stand and suddenly he threw up all the foods he took. My body shook in nervousness."Uno!"He threw up all the foods I gave him! He looked like he got suffocated and it's making him hard to breathe. Fear consumed me. I wasn't able to think straight! I gently tapped his back using my curved palm."Uno," I cried. "What's wrong with you?"This was usually what happened everytime I was left with Uno alone. It was driving me crazy! How much more if Jonas will decide to move in to his unit knowingly he would not be around always. He would take his day off depends on his schedule."Here's your water, Uno," I said and gave him his bottle. He immediately drank from it. M

I was studying his bare face unhurriedly. He wasn't perfect physically. In fact, Jonas wasn't my ideal type based on his physical appearance.He had no stubbles which I didn't prefer since it didn't make him look mature. His eyelashes were short but I liked the shape of his brows which was angled. The shape of his face was heart, complimenting his slicked back black hair that sometimes is down, sometimes it looks like a bangs. His eyes were lifeless. You can't tell if he was tired or he was annoyed. When he was annoyed, he looked like the typical bad boy on a movie.His lips were thin—sometimes red, sometimes pale. He has high bridged nose and its tip looked like a ball. I'd like to pinch it.After studying his bare face, I scrambled out of bed and went down the stairs. Jonas and Uno were still sleeping peacefully. I got hungry so I looked for something to eat. And while eating, I was calling Thrante."Caz!" I greeted cherfully over the line."Hi! Wh

"Love, Uno's still sick. Please come home, love. I need you!"I got nervous and anxious when Uno still had a high fever. I already gave him a paracetamol yet his body temperature didn't decrease. So, I had to call Jonas even if he was in the middle of his work. I don't know what to do anymore."Wait for me, okay? Did he take his medicine already?""Yes, love, but nothing happened. Should I take him to the hospital?""I'm coming home, love. Just wait for me, okay?""Please hurry up. Take care too. Bye."I placed my phone on the table and scooped Uno in my arms. His medicine didn't have any effect on him. He also had a patch on his head to cool his body temperature down but still, it's all useless. "Papa's coming home, baby. Stay with Mama okay?" I said gently and caressed his back.Uno was just silent while he was hugging me. I wanted to cry because I felt hopeless and helpless. Uno wasn't crying but it was obvious he was

When Uno fully recovered, we went back home. Mommy was still checking us from time to time while Dad was supporting us too, guiding both me and Jonas."Love," I called Jonas who was on the kitchen while I was on the living room. Today was his rest day and the three of us are here. Manang Marites took her rest day since Jonas is here."Yes, love?""About you said that we are going to Leyte."He washed his hands with tap water and wiped them with white cloth. His eyes spoke curiosity."Have you decided already?" He asked, looking straight at me."Yup. You said we will stay there for three days.""Yes, love. When do you want us to go?""Depends on your schedule, love. You might have some work to finish.""We're almost done with the blueprint. I'll update you once we settled everything.""Sure thing." I agreed
