een brainwashing him for a long time. They deliberately cause us to have something to argue about and when they find out that he likes my wife, they use that as a combustion to our already not so good relationship.
Noris told dad that he was going to stay with his mother for a vacation and he let him. He thought that my brother would be able to get over my wife if he wasn’t able to see her. Being with Celina for three years when I was away made him develop his feelings for her even more. I can’t blame him though. My wife is very beautiful and lovable, not to mention, very sexy too. Anyone would fall for her just by looking at her.
Speaking of my wife, I looked at her and I was wondering why she was still sleeping. It’s Sunday today, but it’s not like her. She’s a morning person and, as much as possible, she wanted to get some work done even on weekdays so she could relax in her office. Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t want her over exerting her effort from work. She likes to do it, so I let her. I wanted her to be herself with everything that she wanted to do.
I went back to bed and sat beside her. A few strands of her hair were blocking my view of her beautiful face, so I had them at the back of her ear. She must have felt it because she opened her eyes slowly and smiled when she saw me. “Good morning, my Celina.” I greeted her before I kissed her.
“What time is it? I’m still sleepy.” she said in a low and husky voice.
“You can sleep if you want, it’s only 10 in the morning and I will just wake you up at lunch.” I said,
“What!! she exclaimed, “Why didn’t you wake me up?” she asked and sat up, “Awww,”
“What is it, something hurt?” I asked, worriedly.
“No, I’m feeling dizzy. Maybe because I get up really fast.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah,” she replied, “I’m hungry, I want some noodles.”
“What noodles?”
“Noodles, you know, instant.”
“That’s not good for you, it has MSG. Why don’t you try some fruit?”
“No, I wanted some noodles, beef flavor. Don’t we have that at home?”
“We don’t have that. Of course, you know I don’t like eating those kinds of instant foods,” I replied,
“But I really wanted it. Can you buy it now? Add some eggs too. And, wake me up when it’s ready,” she said, and got back to bed. Why does she suddenly want it? For me, it is junk food and will only cause harm to someone’s body. What now? Am I going to buy her that or make something else for her? Would she get mad if I didn’t do what she asked me to do?
I went to the kitchen and asked Susane if she would be able to tell me what’s good for her. “Celina is asking for instant noodles with eggs on them and you didn’t want her to have them, so you are asking me for an alternative. Is that what you’re saying?” she asked when I told her what my wife said and I nodded. “And she’s still sleeping now?” she asked again, so I nodded again. “That’s odd, she never wanted to stay in bed until this hour. What else did she say?”
I was getting confused about why she had to ask me about everything but I still answered her, “Well, she said she felt dizzy and just ignored it because she suddenly got up from bed when I told her the time.”
“I am going to buy her the noodles that she wanted and let her have them. Then you two see a doctor later.”
“Why would we need to see a doctor? Is she sick?” I asked, worriedly. I didn’t want her to get sick. Mom got sick too, so I decided not to give her what she wanted. That food was unhealthy. “No, don’t buy those noodles, just make something else.”
“She might get mad and throw a tantrum if you didn’t give her that.”
“Why?”
“Well, I think she’s pregnant. You know, doing things that women don’t normally do and requesting food are sometimes symptoms of being one for some women.” she explained, and I was shocked for a moment.
“Are you telling me that she might be pregnant?”
“That’s why I told you to just let her have the noodles that she wanted, so if she really is pregnant, at least she will be happy. If she’s not, then scold her after eating noodles.” I couldn’t do anything but let Susane do what she thinks would be better. I am still excited and hoping that Celina was really pregnant. Can’t she feel it?
I went back to our bedroom and watched her sleep. Susane will bring the food when she’s done, so I will just wait there. It didn’t take long and I heard a knock on our door. I opened it and found a smiling Susane with a bowl of instant noodles on a tray. I let her in while I woke up Celina, “My Celina, your food is here.” I said when she sat up and looked at the bowl of noodles on the side table.
To my dismay, she covered her mouth with her hand and ran to the bathroom and started to vomit. “What’s wrong? Do you have a stomachache? How do you feel?”
“I don’t know, I didn’t like the smell of those noodles, I didn’t like them. Can I have an egg pie or egg tart?” she said after she gargled. I looked at her and then at Susane, who was now watching us from the bathroom door.
“Just get dressed and go see a doctor already.” she said,
“Are you sick?” Celina asked me,
“No, of course not!” I replied,
“Why does Susane tell us to go to the doctor?”
“We will find out about that. I’ll dress you up.”
“What? No! I can do it by myself. And I wanted to eat an egg pie and an egg tart.”
“We will buy those on the way to the hospital.” I said, then looked at Susane, “It’s OK now, I am going to bathe her.” she nodded her head and left. “Now you, my beautiful wife, let’s get you ready.” I said and put her in the tub. She screamed when she felt the cold water and I laughed at her. She’s so cute.
It was after lunch when we left the mansion. We ate the egg pie and egg tart that she wanted on our way and I saw how happy she was. I guess I will have to eat whatever she has when she happens to be pregnant. God, I’m so excited. She was looking at me all the time when I registered her name for a check-up. She’s so confused, but when the doctor finally told us what I already expected, her tears rolled down her eyes.
“I’m pregnant, Jeffy..” she said,
“Yes, my Celina.” I replied, smiling while I wiped her tears from her face.
“I am going to be a mother.”
“And I am going to be a father.”
“I am so happy.”
“And so am I,” I said. We both looked at the doctor who was smiling at us, “Our first,” I told her,
“I understand, every couple who wants to have a child acts the way you are right now.” she replied, “But, I wanted to tell you something about the baby,” she said, so the happiness on our faces suddenly disappeared.
“Don’t need to panic, but for now, the baby’s heartbeat is not normal so I want Mrs. Scoot to be really careful. You have to rest all the time until the baby is strong enough. You are 8 weeks pregnant and I am going to prescribe some vitamins for you and the baby and remember to eat healthy foods. At your next check-up, which is a month from now, we will do some laboratory work to make sure that everything with you and the baby is normal. Come back here if you feel any pains in your lower abdomen or anywhere. When that happens, don’t take any medication, just come here.”
“We understand, doctor.” Celina and I replied, we went home happily and, just what the doctor had said, we had already agreed for Celina to rest so she had to apply for a leave at work. We’re going to be a family soon and I’m sure that my wife would agree that we are the happiest in the world right now.
