"Da-ddy." Umami kicked as if his jumping while gaping. Why is it that when a baby is toothless it's cute, but when it's getting older, it's so good to slap left and right? "You should first know the word daddy handsome ok." I kissed Umami who was overjoyed because of what I said. It's good that my son agrees that his daddy is handsome.
"Sir, it's time for Umami's vitamins."
"Let me." I'm with Umami's nanny here at home. It's been a month since Margot and I set up this. She has done nothing and she has not been able to leave the country. Even Blaze and Maggie didn't make it. I reproved the group and Dane for hiding my son but after that, I’m good with them.
Also, they are still my friends so I can't stand getting angry with them. I have forgiven them and everything is ok because the only thing that matters to me is to be with my child. I found out that Umami had been baptized and the idiots are godparents. It’s also ok with me that Umami’s parent is different on paper and I’m not. Blaze is richer than me, so if he died early, my son would still have an inheritance.
Just a joke. The more mommy, the more daddy, the merrier. Just chill, the important thing is I have time with my son. I will be his daddy even if not on paper.
"Umami, Daddy is handsome, right?" Umami nodded and stomped. It’s just annoying to think that he didn’t bring Enrile and mommy knew. That's why my mother was kind and not lonely about losing her grandson because she already knew something.
I admit I feel betrayed by what they all did. But if that's the consequence of my stupidity, it's ok. Karma is a bitch really and this is my karma. You should plant mangoes and then harvest santol? That was stupid, wasn't it? And because foolishness I planted it is also what I reaped. Too much because there is a bonus. But I'll say it again, it's ok because what's important to me now is that Umami is with me.
"Hey, little sucker."
"What are you doing here, Zeus?"
"Visiting my little sucker."
"You idiot Zeus, my son is too young and you call her sucker."
"That's fine. Come little sucker." He took Umami from me and sighed. My son was very happy with the foolishness of his uncle fool. Zeus raises Umami's hand and kisses his armpit and even without a voice my son laughs and it's fun to look at him because he obviously enjoys what his uncle godfather makes for him. The fool once again sticks out his tongue with earrings to show Umami and my son is also staring.
"How are you and Margot?" he suddenly asks.
"It's ok, we talked but about Umami."
"What I am saying is you and her. You're relationship as a couple."
"The notice has arrived for our first hearing." I know I love Margot but I won't stop her from doing what she wants to happen. Where she is happy I will just support her. She deserves to find a man who will love her and not fool her and it's not me because I hurt her. It’s all too late for us, for me. So what makes her happy is that I don’t interfere with her. Just don’t just break our obligation both to Umami.
"Is it that easy for you to let her go, sucker?"
"She wants that. One more thing, she doesn't deserve a fool like me. I'm done begging her and she doesn't want me anymore so why should I push myself? It's important to me that I fulfill my obligation to Umami. Margot is tough and Maggie was right then, she's different when she's hurt." I heard him exhale and look at Umami.
"Uncle Zeus will support you always, Umami. If you only expect your daddy, you will grow up miserable."
"You fool, Zeus, you even discredit me to my son."
"Just saying, sucker."
"Sir." At the same time, we turned to Umami's nanny. "It's time for us to go home to the other house." I looked at the clock then nodded.
"All right, fix your things."
"So, how is that Umami, Uncle Zeus is also leaving because you're going home to the other house."
"Why don't you just have children of yours so you will not be borrowing children from others."
"Don't tell me what to do. Bye, Umami." Zeus kissed him and left. The nanny and I also left and I send them.
"Always remember, Umami, daddy loves you, ok?" My son nodded and stomped. "Very good." We were across from Blaze's house. I am no longer banned here so I can enter. Because the nanny couldn't carry all the things, I brought Umami inside and the nanny brought the things. As I entered I saw Margot standing and immediately greeted us.
"Hi," she said. Fuck this. 'Relax heart, it's just Margot you're about to be your ex-wife.' But damn it, I really miss her. What if I kidnap her will she is like Blaze did to Maggie? Maybe we just need quality time to get her feelings back to me. Like Phoenix and Hailey, Blaze and Maggie. We need quality time I think Margot needs it to soften.
"Hi, hello, Umami." Umami jumped when she saw Margot. "Come to ---"
"Margot are you okay?" She grabbed her head and clung to my arm.
"I'm sorry, I'm feeling dizzy."
"You alright?" I held her hand even though I was carrying Umami. "Hold on to me." She grabbed me and we walked over to the sofa. I put Umami down in the crib and called the nanny to look at Umami to face Margot. "You alright?" I asked because she looked pale.
"Yeah, I just woke up the whole night."
"Do you want me to send you to the hospital?"
"No, I'm fine, Jace."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, I'm ok ---" She got up and ran to the kitchen so I got up too and I caught her vomiting.
"Margot, are you really okay?" She was also sweating and pale. "I'll take you to the hospital."
"I'm fine, Jace."
"You're sweating, you're pale too. Are you really sure you're ok?"
"Yes ---" she vomited again so I stroked her back. Fuck I know she's not ok because she vomited but my pervert mind feels happy because of the softness of her back and the amount of scenes in my mind.
"Did you eat anything that makes your stomach ache?" I ask. She just shook her head and straightened up.
"What's happening here?" Maggie approached Margot and handed the tissue to her sister. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah."
"She feel dizzy, then vomited. I think she was feeling bad." Maggie frowned and looked at me.
"Did you guys have sex?"
"Huh?" I wondered.
"Maggie!" I saw Margot's face turn red. What has Margot's vomiting got to do with us having sex?
"I asked if you guys had sex in Cagayan when you did not go home, Margot?"
"You're rude, Maggie. That's a private thing." I said annoyed because I saw Margot blush so I scolded her crazy sister.
"So, yes that's the answer? My god, another bab ---"
"Maggie." I just turned my gaze to Margot.
"Margot, are you okay?" I ask. I'm worried about her. Even though we are no longer together I am still worried because she is the mother of my child.
"Yeah," she replied. "You can go home. Maggie is already here."
"Jace, are you really slow?" Maggie asked.
"Huh?"
"Maggie, can you please stop," Margot said.
"He's really slow." Then laugh out loud. "Just go, that’s the reason why they're hiding something from you, and it looks like they going to hide again." She even shook her head as she laughed.
"I don't know what you're talking, Maggie." Then I confronted Margot. "Are you sure you're ok?"
"Yeah Jace, she's ok because it's normal for those who don't menstruate to vomit especially if they have something in their stomach because of having sex."
"I'm leaving, Margot. I'll just pick up Umami again on Monday," I said goodbye and ignored Maggie because what she was saying didn't matter.
"Okay take care."
"'Damn it, why did he become my husband's friend?"
I just left Blaze's house. I'm on my way home to the condo. While on the road I could not get Margot out of my mind. Is she okay? What could have happened to her? Then why did Maggie ask if anything had happened to us? What did that have to do with Margot?
I wish I could have stayed and maybe I needed to be there especially without Blaze yet. Maybe it's because she and they don't have a man with them yet. I was really worried about her and I wanted to go back there. She was pale and then sweaty and then dizzy. That's not normal, something is really wrong with her.
"Shit!" I turned the car around when I saw an approaching oncoming bus. "Damn it!" I stepped on the brake and turned the steering wheel but fuck ------ there was a big dump truck behind me that caused me to jump up and lose consciousness.
