Gulf POV

16th weeks of pregnancy

I'm currently here at a coffee shop with MILD. This is our little bonding because it's been a while since we last see each other. This guy is sulking so hard that Mew is caging me already on his side which is so true for me. I'm not complaining because I love it so much to be by his side almost 24/7 but I need this too. I miss this best friend of mine too. Thankfully my dear boyfriend agreed for me to go here but because I'm pregnant. I can't drink my favorite thing in the world which is coffee and just stay for this chocolate drink.

"So friend is that true???" Mild asked me.

"What truth?" I asked him back while I was busy munching my favorite blueberry cheesecake!! God! This is heaven!!!

"That Mew already announce about you and Mew's relationship to all his employees? Gosh! Gulf!! Your man is so brave!! You are so lucky to have him!" He happily said I can help but feel happy too while remembering what happened that time, it's already weeks when it happens but it still lingers in my mind the way Mew stands there in front of everybody and tell them that I'm his partner!! God knows how proud I am to be his and him to be mine. I never thought I will be able to find someone like him my whole life. I thought because I'm gay I will always be alone my whole life. I'm so happy that Mew came and save me from being alone.

"Gosh! Friend!! Your spacing out again!! Is this another pregnancy symptom??" Mild suddenly spoke while I'm busy remembering Mew again. I just laugh a little.

"I'm so sorry friend, I'm just thinking about something and yes! for your question! Yes! Mew did that for me" I smilingly said to him

"Gosh!! Gulf!! You are so lucky!! Would you believe it! The gulf my friend who is so afraid of love now has the man of his dreams!! Gosh! How can you be so lucky!!" Mild amusedly said to me

"Why! You have your lover right? You shouldn't be jealous of me. I'm sure if this would have happened to you!! These awful things that those employees think of me and Mew. I'm sure Champ will do it too for you!" I smilingly said to him

"Like how I wish Gulf!! I'm not really sure about him Gulf! I mean I'm not really sure about his plan for us. We never talk about more things. He likes things to chill and as it was only. Unlike you and Mew. I'm sure you talk about the future right? But Champ is so different!! I don't know if he is really like this or he doesn't really want to go further with me!! Gosh!! This is stressing me out." Mild sadly said to me. I can't help but feel so sad for him. But as his best friend, it is my job to ease his mind.

"Don't worry Mild, I'm sure champ is not like that. Everything is gonna be okay, I'm sure of it. You're relationship just started right? I'm sure, it's just too early right now and eventually, he will come thru." I smilingly said to him

"Gosh! Friend!! What happens to you!! You sounded so mature!! You changed so much just this past few months!" Mild suddenly exclaimed. I can't help but laugh at him.

"I guess pregnancy made me mature a little bit. Just a little bit hahahahaha" We both just laugh. I miss these times. I miss talking to Mild, before we only talked about silly things. Now we are talking about our future and our love life. I couldn't believe it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I and Mild are just talking about random things when suddenly I felt someone snaking his hand from my back to my chest. I quickly help his hand.

I know who is it. I quickly turn around.

"Boo!!" I happily said and then stand up from my seat to hug him.

"Hi Baby!! How's your bonding with Mild. Enjoying yourself?" Mew smilingly said to me, I pulled myself out from our hug and face him.

"Very!! Thank you for letting me bond with him boo!! I appreciate it." I happily said to him

"Anything for you bii. Anything!!" He smilingly said.

"I'm sorry to bother your bonding with Mild. But bii, but It's 2 pm already, it's time for your check-up. We have to go now?" Oh! I almost forgot!! I have an appointment with my OB now. I'm already in my 4th month!! I'm already showing so I don't have a choice but to be more careful and wear more loose clothes or else everyone will notice about my pregnancy.

"Oh! I almost forgot!! Yes boo!! We have to go now, I don't want to make our doctor wait again hahaha She is so nice to us." I smilingly said to him then he guided me to stand up.

"Bye! Mild. Let's catch up again soon, You can visit me in Mew's house, We can bond there the whole day on weekend. right boo?" I faced Mew.

"Of course Bii. Mild is always welcome." Mew smilingly said I face Mild to know his response

"Of Course My friend. Don't worry I will come, You know we are just both busy adjusting to our new responsibilities in the company!!" He answered

"I know!!" Then we proceed in going to Mew's car. Mew was just holding me so tight while we are walking to go where he parked his car.

"Boo!! Why the change of the car??" I asked because I'm not familiar with this car. It's much bigger than his Lamborghini. This times its Escalade this time

"It's not my car bii." He smiling said to me which made me confused, if this is not his. Why did we stop here?

"So Who." I was still speaking when the car passenger seat opens up.

I was shocked when I saw who is inside.

"Who misses his father in law??" The person inside happily exclaimed.

"Dade!!" I exclaimed. It's daddy Tharn!! It's been weeks since I last saw him. He was so busy traveling all over the world to check our branches. I really miss him.

I quickly enter the car and hug him!!

"It seems that my son-in-law does miss me!!" He happily said. I just nodded repeatedly while still hugging him

"I miss you too Gulf!! I miss your liveliness and also." He pulled out from our hug and caress my tummy

"I miss my grandchildren too!! Hi, there little bunnies!!! Did you miss your Grandfather?? Gulf!! You are showing already! Wow!!" Daddy Tharn happily said

"Yes! Dad!! They are growing so fast!! They are so heavy already!!" i happily said to them

"That's a good thing. That means they are so healthy!! Which what we want them to be, Healthy!" He smilingly said to me

"When did you get back dad!! I thought you will come home until next week??" I asked him

"I want to surprise you!! And also, I want to do a surprise visit to my son!! To know if he taking care of our hotel or his destroying it hahaha" Daddy Tharn happily said, I looked at Mew who seems to shy about what his dad just told us

"So dad? how is it? Did he pass or fail??" I teasingly asked dad even though I already knew the answer.

Dada Tharn, just looked at us with a serious look before speak then he suddenly smiles.

"Of course he passes with flying color!! He is my son!! He is a kirigun!!" Daddy Tharn happily said. I saw how relieved Mew is upon hearing his dad's remarks about his work. Mew now seat beside me.

"Who wants to see my kids!!" Mew suddenly exclaimed

"ME!!!" Me and daddy Tharn said in unison!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are nowhere in my OB examination room. Daddy Tharn and Mew are just sitting beside me waiting for what the doctor is about to say. Mew looked so nervous as usual while daddy Tharn is smiling so wide while looking at us

They may have the same face but they look so different right now. I can't help but laugh a little which my OB saw right away

"Sorry, Doc. I'm just amused while looking at my father-in-law and boyfriend." I smilingly said to her

"Oh! He is your father-in-law! He looked so young, I thought he was just the older brother of you Mew." My OB said which made me laugh a little more.

"Oh! Thank you so much doc!! See Mew!! I'm not that old!!" Dad Mew teasingly said to us but it seems that Mew is not hearing it cause he is so focused on our Ultrasound monitor. which made me laugh more.

"So Gulf, Your baby now has doubled in weight in the last two weeks. Fat begins to form, helping your baby's heat production and They are beginning to exhale, and the circulatory and urinary systems are working. on the head, eyebrows, and eyelashes are filling in. Your baby's body is covered by very fine hair, called lanugo, which is usually shed by birth. Eyebrows and hair on the top of the head are beginning to grow, bones are getting harder, and the baby may even be sucking their thumb as you may see here." My OB said

Gosh! One of my babies is sucking his thump. It's so amusing to watch!! Daddy Tharn even stands up to have more visual. He is so cute.

"You're showing more now, with a typical weight gain of 5-10 pounds. You may also be noticing that your appetite has grown. Your uterus can probably be felt about 3 to 4 inches below your navel. Sometime in the next five weeks, you'll be offered a blood test called the quadruple marker screening test to help screen for Down syndrome. We can schedule it anytime you want." I immediately looked at Mew who only looked at his father like he was asking him what to do. Daddy Tharn just nodded

"Yes! Doc please do the screening. Do it as soon as possible. I want to make sure that my babies are okay!!" Mew firmly said. I can't help but feel so happy while seeing him so involved in this. Daddy Tharn saw me and smiled to like he was saying that he is proud of his son.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are now sitting in front of my OB doctor's table. waiting for her advice on us for this month.

"Start learning to sleep on your left side -- your circulation is better that way. You can try tucking pillows behind you and between your legs. Some pregnancy pillows support your entire body. To avoid feeling dizzy or faint, change positions slowly, especially when you move from a lying down position to sitting or from a sitting position to standing. If you feel lightheaded, sit down and lower your head, or lie down for a moment." She smiling said to me

"Yes! Doc I will do that. I have been experiencing some dizziness again, I thought it was just I'm tired. or all over the place." I said to her

"It's normal Gulf! Just do the position I advise you to do and always make sure to drink your vitamins. It contains some energy supplements. It will help you to avoid being dizzy or fainting." She said to us.

"Thank you so much, Doc." I looked at my husband still looks so nervous. Daddy Tharn noticed it so he started to talk

"Don't worry too much son!! Gulf and your babies are healthy. The first trimester is already over which is the most critical phase of pregnancy. I remember when your surrogate mom is pregnant with you! I'm so afraid too. Me and your mom but when she passes her First 3 months, everything is smooth sailing after. Don't be so nervous Mew, Look at Gulf!! He looked so relax" Daddy Tharn said to us

"Your father is right Mew, You don't have to be so nervous besides I'm always here to help you. Just follow all my instructions so everything is gonna be alright." Our OB said. I looked at Mew and gave him my most genuine smile to ease him. he was just holding my hand so tight. Then he started to smile

"That's more like it boo!! Your more handsome when you smile." I smilingly said to him. We all just laugh at him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We are already about to enter the mansion.

"GOSH!! Boo!! I'm so tired again!! I'm so hungry already!!" I said to Mew while we are going out of the car. eh was just guiding me so that I wouldn't fall.

"Don't worry Gulf, I already texted Martha to prepare the meal for you!! I think it's already done." Music to my ears dad. I feel so alive again after the word meal

"THANK YOU SO MUCH, DAD! YOU ARE MY HERO!!" I happily said.

We just enter the mansion when I notice a person is sitting in the living room who seems to be waiting on someone. I don't know who is it so I looked at Mew and daddy Tharn to ask who is it but what I saw on their faces made me feel weird and anxious

THEY LOOKED SO SHOCKED!!

WHO IS IT??
