"TAKE CARE of the baby, huh? As well as yourself."

I smiled widely at Caia and hugged her tightly. "Sure, I'll take care of the baby and myself. Don't worry."

He hugged me back before letting me go. "I'll call, huh? if you feel something strange, call Lavriel immediately. Tell him everything you need, he would gladly give those to you. I also told him to work from home first, even if only once a week so he can always monitor you."

It was a long line that made my heart jump with joy.

I didn't plan it, but it's like fate is making a way for Lavriel and me. I can claim him.

it's been a week since Caia said goodbye that there is a big project offered to her in Cebu and she can't refuse because her Godfather is the owner. He is an Architect while I am a Professional gown designer.

At first Lavriel didn't agree, he really didn't want to be separated from Caia for a month. He still wanted to go there, but Caia got angry. He said don't come with me because I need him, that's right! I need him, baby and I need him more!

"Fine." Lavriel responded weakly, a look of frustration and resignation on his face.

I looked away when Lavriel kissed Caia right in front of me, Caia's Van was in front where she was going to Cebu.

"I love you, Wife. I'll miss you." His tender words to Caia tugged at my heart.

"I love you, Lavi. I'll miss you too." Caia answered back and looked at me. "Don't leave the baby and Kzea alone, huh?"

Lavriel and I looked at each other, his smile disappeared. "Yes, of course." He said he didn't feel like it.

after Caia's van left, Lavriel immediately went inside the house, leaving me as if nothing had happened.

"Eat a lot, you always eat these fruits, huh? Wait, I'll make you some milk." Manang Dayana will take care of me when I come down at noon.

I fell asleep earlier and woke up feeling hungry. "Where is Lavriel?" I asked him to take a slice of apple and eat it.

"Ah, I left a while ago. Why? Do you need something? Is something hurting you?" He asked worriedly as he dropped a cup of milk next to my food.

he caressed my neck, "Your pregnancy is delicate, isn't it? You need a companion here. Tell Ma'am Caia to stay here first to watch over you." his suggestion.

I immediately shook my head, it's not possible! I don't want to.

He only comes here twice a week to work, wash and clean and cook. He will be a nuisance to Lavriel and me.

"Don't stop!" He frowned at my quick response. I immediately laughed and shook my head. "There's no need, I promised Caia that I won't let this happen to the baby. I'll take care of myself."

He slowly nodded, then smiled too. "Alright, just eat and eat, huh? I'll give you my number so that when Sir Lavriel isn't around, you can call me if you need anything." He said, the skin.

He left that evening, I was waiting for Lavriel in the living room. I miss him, where is he now?

It's eight o'clock in the evening and still nothing, I couldn't stop myself from calling him. He answered immediately after two rings.

I smiled, "Lav?"

[What? Is there something happening again?] My heart felt like it was caressed because of the way he asked, he was worried.

"Nothing, I just.. Miss you, Lav."

The next thing I heard was the cutting of the line, signaling that he had hung up the call.
