~Park Chanyeol~

Aaminin ko, excited ako na kinakabahan.

I know this is not the first time we'll be having this kind of check up but as always, kinakabahan ako para kay Baek at sa magiging anak namin... Kung positive man.

Namumula si Baekhyun habang nakahawak sa braso ko. Nakapatong ang ulo niya sa balikat ko at nakapikit. Hindi ko alam kung anong iniisip niya.

All I know is that, I'm anxious.

The door of the office opened and a nurse came out. "Mr. Park?" tawag nito at tinaas ko ang kamay ko. Baekhyun was startled at the sudden call at mas humigpit ang hawak sakin.

I held his hand. "Everything would be fine." I whispered then kissed his hair.

Tumango siya at hinigpitan ang hawak sa kamay ko.

We entered the clinic to find Doc Luhan sitting on his desk chair. Yes. Doctor na si Luhan at siya ang doctor namin ni Baekhyun.

"Good morning. What---" napatigil siya nang makita kami. "Chanyeol?! Baekhyun?!" gulat na sabi ni Luhan at tumayo sa kinauupuan niya. "Bat naman hindi niyo sinabi na magpapa-check up kayo today? I should have scheduled a special meeting with you." nakakunot noong sabi niya.

"No need, Luhan." I answered and smiled. "We decided to take the common way."

Napakamot nalang ng ulo si Luhan. "Take a seat." sabi niya at sinunod naman namin ni Baekhyun yun.

Mas lalong namula si Baek at hindi matignan si Luhan. Nakatingin lang siya sa mga paa niya o di naman kaya, sa akin.

"So Chanyeol, anong pinunta niyo dito?" tanong niya while holding a clip board. "Are you two undergoing certain illnesses or what?"

Napatingin ako kay Baekhyun and he looked at me. "No." I answered without breaking eye contact with my husband. "I think... we'll have another addition to the family." I smiled then looked at Luhan.

Napanga-nga siya at di nakapagsalita ng ilang seconds. He turned red and suddenly, he went to his desk to retrieve something from the drawers.

"Are you already sure?" tanong niya sa akin.

I shook my head. "No." sagot ko. "That's why we're here, Luhan. Baekhyun is showing signs. Gusto lang naming i-verify."

Napatango si Luhan habang may hawak na maliit na karton. Iniabot niya ito kay Baekhyun. "Baek, alam mo na gagawin mo dito. Go ahead."

Kinuha ni Baekhyun yung pregnancy test at tumingin sakin. I gave him a reassuring smile at saka siya tumayo para pumunta sa banyo.

I felt my palms starting to get sweaty. Habang hinihintay si Baek ay may binabasa si Luhan sa laptop niya at panay ang kunot ng noo niya.

"Luhan, may problema ba?" I asked. Parang ang pait kasi ng mukha niya.

Napa-iling siya at tumingin sa kisame. He looks troubled. "Kinakabahan lang ako, Chanyeol." he answered without looking at me. "If the test would turn positive, you'll have your second child na."

I nodded. "Yes. And so?"

"You know, male pregnancy is totally different from the female. Mas complex ito kasi minsan lang mangyari. It could be harder for Baekhyun this time and also for the baby." explain ni Luhan at tumingin sakin.

Kinabahan ako. "What do you mean?"

"Hindi kasi pareho ang katawan natin sa katawan ng mga babae. They could give birth 20 times if they want but for men... I don't think it would be easy." puno ng pag-aalala ang mata ni Luhan. And I don't feel good either. "I know alam to ni Baekhyun that's why mukhang takot na takot siya. They need excessive care this time, Chanyeol. At sa panganganak niya ulit, which we'll do the cesarean way, he needs to be strong. Hindi siya pwedeng matulog or mawalan ng malay. Baka hindi siya magising."

I felt my heart clenched. Hindi ko kakayanin kung may mangyayaring masama kay Baekhyun at sa baby. I would seriously do everything for them. EVERYTHING. Kahit ano pa yan.

Magsasalita pa sana si Luhan nang bumukas ang pinto ng CR at lumabas si Baek. Agad akong lumapit sakanya and held his hands. "What?" I breathed.

Tumingin siya sakin at pinakita ang test.

Positive.

I hugged him then and there. He wrapped his hands around me as I heard his sobs. "Natatakot ako Chanyeol." iyak niya. "Paano kung may mangyaring masama kay baby?"

I brushed his hair then kissed his head. "I would never let anything happen to both of you, okay?" I said as I stared into his eyes. "I promise that, Baek. I love you."

He nodded and hugged me again.

I silently prayed that this time, he'll not encounter much pain or anything. Ayokong nakikitang nahihirapan ang mahal ko. 

"Madali lang naman mag-alaga ng isang pregnant male for the second time." explain ni Luhan as he took the test from Baek. "Bawal lang siyang ma-stress, bawal nagtatrabaho. Parang buntis na babae din, Chanyeol. Just extra care. Remember that mood swings and negative effects ay mas malala sa mga lalake. And please!" sigaw ni Luhan habang nakataas ang isang kamay. "No sex!"

Natawa kaming dalawa ni Baekhyun sa sinabi niya. "We'll try." I answered which made Luhan roll his eyes.

Baekhyun shot me a deadly glare and I immediately kissed his temple. "Just kidding, love."

"Another thing," singit ni Luhan. "Lumayo-layo si Michaela sa inyo dahil nakasasama yung selos sa buntis. At saka baka mapaglihian pa ni Baek yun! Kadiri!"

I chuckled then wrapped my arm around Baek's waist. "She would never get to Baekhyun especially when I'm around. I'll protect them."

Luhan scoffed. "Eh ikaw nga ang dahilan kung bat meron siya eh."

I rolled my eyes and I heard Baekhyun giggle. "Luhan, you know kung gaano ako ka-faithful sa asawa ko. Come on!"

Luhan laughed. "I know, Chanyeol. I know."

"Really Daddy?!" sigaw ni Chan Hyun habang nakahiga na kami sa kama, ready to sleep. Napabangon siya agad at tumingin sa amin ni Baekhyun. Nasa gitna kasi namin siya.

I laughed at his expression then nodded.

"Papa?!" he turned to Baekhyun.

Baek smiled. "Really, anak." he answered which made Chan's eyes grow wide. He crawled into Baekhyun and looked at his stomach.

"Hello, baby." Chan whispered and waved his hand. "I'll be your big brother Chan Hyun. You'll be my baby... baby... Is the baby a boy or a girl, Daddy?" he suddenly asked at tumingin sakin habang nakakunot noo.

I shrugged. "We don't know yet, baby. Soon enough, we will." Tumango lang siya at binalik ulit ang tingin sa tiyan ni Baekhyun.

"I'll be your big brother, baby." tapos ay lumapit para bumulong sa tiyan ni Baek. "And I hope you're a girl! I want to be your protector." he smiled and poked Baek's tummy lightly.

Baekhyun laughed and pulled Chan Hyun for a hug. "You'll be a big brother soon, Chan. So learn to be responsible na."

"I'm responsible, Papa." he said then pouted. "I do chores like cleaning."

Napa-iling nalang kami ni Baek habang natatawa. Naglilinis naman si Chan... pero yung toys lang niya. Valid ba yun? 

Maliit pa naman ang tiyan ni Baek eh. He still have that flat tummy of his. He's still hot and very much...

I smirked then looked at Baekhyun.

He caught my gaze and he saw lust in it.

"Not now, Mr. Park Chanyeol." he warned. "You know we're not allowed."

I laughed but I'm still VERY MUCH tempted.

I nodded then closed my eyes. "I know, babe. And I'm trying my best to endure you." I answered. "You're just so... tempting."
