"But Mom, hindi na ako bata," Kyle whined, his face turning red. My wife was looking for Kyle, our son. who was now a teenager. There was a glint of mischief in her eyes.
"But mommy wants to hug you," Luliana said, her voice cracking with emotion. I could see the tears welling up in her eyes. I winced. I hated seeing her like this, heartbroken, vulnerable, and longing for her son.
"Gwapo ng baby ko, 'di gaya nang isa riyan, mukhang kapre," She rolled her eyes at me.
"Honeybunch, Kyle exactly looks like me, so." nag kibit balikat lang ako but she didn't pay attention to me, natatawa lang ako sa mukha ni Kyle dahil naka ngiwi siya pero wala siyang magawa.
"I want a hug too," I said still no response I pouted like a child that his mom didn't give him candy.
"Honeybunch" she looked at me sharply I raised my hands like giving up.
"Lumabas ka rito, kapre! I want alone time with my baby, ay dalhan mo na lang ako nang banana at mayonnaise" I sighed, I have to remind myself multiple times that my wife is pregnant even tho I am still not sure.
"Right away, Ma'am" I'm known as a mafia boss. But right now, I'm just a husband, terrified of a pregnant woman. I'm pretty sure I could anp a man's neck with my bare hands. But facing hormonal Luliana? it might as well be a dragon spitting fire.
I took what she wanted and my son too maybe he is hungry.
I knocked 3 times before entering only to see my wife sleeping and our son beside her brushing her hair.
"Bud, she slept too fast, anong oras ako lumabas a minute and she is sleeping already?" Hindi ko makapaniwalang sabi.
"Pregnant is pregnant Dad, but we have to be patient, Mommy's pregnancy is too sensitive. I hope it's a girl, " my son said, then, after a beat, added with a sigh, "Yeah, a girl. Because if it's a boy, I'm going to be stuck with a brother, and those are so annoying." 
I snorted with laughter. "It's true, it's true. Boys are annoying."
"I know, By the way, where are you going?" I said.
"My room kapre- I mean, Dad" natatawang wika nito na ikasalubong ng kilay ko.
"A what? What did you just call me?" I asked he walked slowly and when he reached the door he opened it like there was no tomorrow.
"Nothing Dad, bye." I smiled and slowly walked to my wife and silently lay in our bed.
I looked at my wife sleeping peacefully, nothing changed she was still pretty, I know I've done too much sin but god gave me this girl, a soft-hearted woman, gorgeous, smart Everything, I can't afford to lose her I'll go crazy if I lose her.
"Good evening, kapre" No one else it is my wife, i just woke up and here she is calling me again kapre.
"Yeah good evening, wife" I don't know for how long I slept.
"Baba na tayo, food's ready" I love this woman she is adorable when her moods switch fast.
"What's the food?" I asked,  trying to sound nonchalant. I knew better than to argue with her. 
The last time I'd questioned her culinary choices, I'd been served a plate of spaghetti with peanut butter sauce. Not the most appealing combination, but hey, I'd eaten it without complaint. Anything for Luliana. So, I kissed her forehead and feigned an enthusiasthic smile.
"Kind of seafoods, tapos adobong manok" she excitedly said then jumped many times that made my eyes grow wider and my heart started racing.
"Okay, okay wife no need to jump" I nervously said then put my arms on her waist, i prayed quietly.
