"CASTIEL! I need to go, itatabi ko sayo si Ayel ha?"

Castiel open his eyes and saw Devi wearing a formal attire, her hair was loose and she's also wearing her new eyeglasses. Beside him was their three years old son, tulog na tulog ito at mahina pang humihilik. Antok na antok pa siya dahil may mga trabaho siyang tinapos kagabi, and Caeil also disturbed him after he puts his mother to sleep. Napaka ayos na bata naman talaga!

"Sandali lang naman ako," Devi said and he just nod his head. Ready to dozed off again, he felt Devi's soft lips pressed against his lips. And there his heart goes again. Beating insanely. Hindi na nasanay.

"One more, little bee!" Ungot niya at ngumuso. He heard Devi chuckled, tsaka nito sinuklay ang buhok niya gamit ang mga daliri nito. Instead of kissing him on his lips again, she kissed his forehead.

"Take care of our son, hmm?" Bilin ulit nito sa kanya. Castiel groaned.

"Yes, little bee. Ingat sa daan! Don't drink too much coffee." Inaantok din na bilin niya.

Handa na siya ulit bumalik sa pagtulog nang marinig na nagsara ang pintuan. He peeked at his son beside him and saw Caeil sleeping peacefully, mukha talaga itong anghel kapag natutulog. Pero kapag gising na, saksakan ito ng gulo. Mas magulo pa sa anak ni Killian at Mikael. Castiel yawned and cover his face with his pillow.

Ilang oras palang siyang nakakabalik sa tulog niya, he's still dreaming for goodness sake! Naramdaman na niya ang maliit na kamay ni Caeil na humahampas sa braso niya. Hindi niya ito pinansin at pilit na bumabalik sa tulog. Kahit pa nabubugbog na siya.

"Papa! Papa! Pa! Papa!" Paulit ulit na tawag sa kanya ni Caeil.

Castiel groaned but didn't moved an inch. "Papa is still sleepy, Ayel! Go back to sleep, come here!" He hissed and grabbed his son and let him lied down again on the bed.

Agad na naglumikot ang anak niyang pinaglihi sa kape, kaya siguro laging buhay ang mga ugat nito sa katawan!

"No! Ayel want to play!" Sigaw nito. Castiel groaned again and pretend that he's still asleep, even though there's no chance that he'll have his precious sleep again. "Sumbong ko ikaw!" His son shouted again.

Napabalikwas si Castiel ng upo at sinamaan ng tingin ang anak niyang mayabang na nakangisi sa kanya, damn he looks exactly like him, paanong hindi siya maaasar rito? Now he knows why his brother didn't want to play with him when they're at Ayel's age.

"Alam mo ikaw? Ibabalik na kita sa matres ng mama mo!" Sarkastikong sagot niya. Of course he didn't mean it.

"Kaya mo, pa?" Ayel curiously asked. His son eyes widened a bit. He's also gullible. Sometimes.

Castiel snickered and lift his hand to messed Ayel's already messy hair. "Of course not, little man."

"Papa? Why are you calling me 'little man'? Pero si Mama 'little bee'?" Tanong na naman nito sa kanya. Hindi ito nauubusan ng tanong. And at his age, he can talk straight. Maybe because, Castiel and Devi never baby talk their son. Although, there's some words na hindi nito mabigkas, lalo na kung tagalog.

"Because she's my little bee, that nickname suits her. As fo you, I used to call you baby bee. Tawagin kita ulit gusto mo?" Nakangising tanong niya sa anak na agad ngumiwi sa kanya.

Castiel chuckled and slid his hands on his son armpit and carry him towards the comfort room. Ayel's breakfast was too easy to made. Yakang yaka na niya 'yon.

"I don't want to, Papa. Little man nalang po." Ayel answered.

Tumaas ang sulok ng labi ni Castiel nang marining ang 'po' sa dulo ng sagot nito sa kanya. Devi always taught Ayel to respect the elders, pero minsan nahahalo talaga ang ugali niya sa anak nilang dalawa at bigla nalang nakakalimutan na mag po at opo.

Umiling lang siya sa anak at kinuha ang maliit na toothbrush nito at nilagyan ng sarili nitong toothpaste and give it to him. One thing that he likes about his son, Ayel likes to do things by himself kung kaya naman nito. Hindi nito inaasa sa iba. Maybe because they don't have a maid at mas lalong wala sa bahay nina Devi. His getting along well with his cousins, he never brag, kung ano ang meron siya Ayel was more than willing to share it.

"Papa? Wala ikaw work diba?" Ayel asked when he spit the gargle. Castiel glance at his son and nod his head. "Can we watch a movie?"

"What kind of movie?"

"Cars! Let's watch Lightning McQueen again!" Ayel shouted with excitement.

Castiel chuckled softly. He still remember how she force his wife to watch The Cars, at kapag nanonood silang dalawa palagi niyang kinakausap si Ayel noon na nasa loob pa ng matres ni Devi. Hindi naman siya na inform na magugustuhan din niya ito paglabas. Or maybe because he let Ayel watch The Cars over and over again, simula ng baby ito.

"I want a car, Papa! I want to have my own Lightning McQueen!"

Castiel crinkled his nose and leaned his back against the door. Tsaka siya pabirong namaywang sa anak.

"We can't afford that one kiddo, Papa is poor. We can ask your Tito, malay mo bigyan niya tayo?" He playfully suggested.

His brother was now managing and the new owner of that old man's company. His mother wants him to take over, na agad niyang tinanggihan. Even his brother offered him to work under his wings but he rejected it. He likes working under Light and Xyria's. He's much comfortable with that. Mataas naman halaga niya kaya ayos lang. Subukan lang ni Light na babaan ang sahod niya, susunugin niya ang office at bahay nito.

Lumabi si Ayel sa kanya at pinagkrus ang mga binti nito. "Papa, tito gave me a  car toys .  Not the real car!" Reklamo nito.

Tumaas ang kilay ni Castiel sa narinig niya. Agad niyang binuhat ang anak at kinuha ang cellphone niya na nasa bed side table tsaka sila bumababa para makapag almusal na. It's past 8 in the morning.

"Let's call your tito while we're having a breakfast. Diyan ka lang, 'wag kang maglilikot kung ayaw mo mabukulan." Banta niya sa anak nang maiupo niya ito sa upuan. He tends to do things that can hurt him in the process.

He grab the box of his son cereals and pour some in his and Ayel's bowl. Then he add a milk. Naglagay din siya ng gatas sa baso ni Ayel atsaka siya nagtimpla ng kape niya.

"Dig in, little man." He smiled.

Ayel immediately ate his cereals, gumagawa pa ito ng tunog kapag hinihigop nito ang gatas. Habang kumakain ang anak niya, tinawagan niya ang nakakatandang kapatid.

[Yes?]

"Anong yes? Bakit mo tinitipid ang anak ko?" Maangas na tanong niya sa kapatid.

[Tinitipid? Castiel, I bought him a lot of clothes when he slept in my house. Nasaan doon ang tinitipid? He basically emptied my pocket dahil pati ikaw pinamili niya!]

"He loves me, what can I say? At nasaan doon ang tinitipid? When my son asked you to buy a car like Lightning McQueen, he meant a real car! Not a toy car!" He exclaimed.

[Castiel, he's just a kid. Hindi naman niya alam i drive 'yon!]

"I can drive."

[Edi ikaw ang bumili!]

"I'm poor. Lend me some money? Okaya 'wag mo na ipabayad." He joked.

[You're not a fucking kid, Castiel! Damn you! Tatawagan kita kapag nabili ko na!] His brother yelled and he smiled in triumphant. I won.

"Who's that Papa?" Ayel asked.

"Tito mo, we're having a new car. Let's wait for his call, hmn?" He announced and wiped his son side lips using his own thumb.

Ayel immediately clapped his hands and yelled how excited he was. Habang siya naman ay nagdadasal na huwag magsumbong ang kuya niya sa Mama niya, her mother was living in his old apartment, she's more than okay now. While the old man stays behind the bars. Good thing, after a year, her mom moved on. Hindi 'yon naging madali sa kanya. Inaalagaan niya si Devi habang inaalagaan niya ang mommy niya kasabay ng trabaho nito.

Castiel chuckled when he's son hopped down the chair and run towards their sala and set up the TV so he can watch The Cars. They have their new house, with the same neighborhood. Gusto na nga niyang maumay. Himala na walang bata na basta basta nalang pumapasok ngayon sa bahay nila.

He smiled softly when he saw his son sat on the sofa, hugging a throw pillow. Tutok na tutok sa pinapanood nito. He shake his head and went upstairs para kunin ang salamin nito sa mata, it has a anti radiation and such, na personal na pinagawa nila ni Devi. Devi was afraid, na baka maaga din na lumabo ang mga mata ni Ayel, lalo na at palagi itong tutok sa mga gadgets. Kahit na nililimitahan nila 'yon.

"Little man, you forget to wear your eyeglasses." He said and handed his son his eyeglasses. Ayel looks so cute at it.

"I'm sorry, Papa." He sincerely apologise bago nito ibinalik ang atensyon sa pinapanood nilang dalawa.

Kabisado na nilang dalawa ang bawat linya ni Lightning McQueen, paulit ulit ba namang pinapanood. Ayel was even pretending to be a car. Tumayo pa ito sa harapan niya at ginawa ang signature 'ka chow' ni Lightning McQueen. Talk about how cute his son is.

Castiel laughed and did the same thing. It's a special bond between the two of them. If Devi was here she'll surely laugh her ass off. Agad na sinugod ni Castiel ang anak at kiniliti ito sa tagiliran, he even target Ayel's nape dahil doon ang pinakamalakas na kiliti nito.

They filled the Sala with their laughter. Ayel shouting and telling him to stop, habang siya naman ay panay ang kiliti sa anak. A kind of bond that he never experienced before. And as a father, ayaw niyang maranasan 'yon ng sariling anak niya.

He'll never do such things to his son and wife.

That's why he always made sure, even if he's tired from work, he'll get to play with his son. Or at least attend his school program. He wanted to support him and not to pressure him to things he doesn't want to.

And when the clock strikes 7 in the evening, and Ayel's heard the door opening, his son was quick to run. Pero mas mabilis siya sa anak niya, agad niyang hinila ang kwelyo ng suot nitong tee shirt at binitbit na parang basahan ang anak. Castiel was laughing while Ayel was pouting his lips. Sinigurado niya na hindi nasasakal ang anak niya sa ginawa niya bago sinalubong ang asawa niya.

"I'm hom— Castiel! Bitawan mo nga ang anak natin!"

Devi lost her smile and throw a death glare to him. Pilit na ngumiti si Castiel at dahan dahan na binitawan si Ayel, he even fixed his son's cloth.

"Mama!" Ayel yelled and run towards his mother.

"How's your day, little man?" Kaagad na tanong ni Devi, kumunot ang noo ni Castiel nang hindi nito binuhat si Ayel na nakaangat sa ere ang dalawang kamay.

"Mama?" Ayel asked, kunot ang noo nito at may namumuong luha sa gilid ng mga mata nito.

"Ayel, come here. Pagod si Mama." Kausap niya sa anak.

Devi gently smiled at her son and wiped the tears forming on his eyes. Castiel bit his lower lip and restrained himself from kissing Devi, lalo na at nasa harap nila ang anak. The smile on her face makes her heart beat quickened.

Namaywang siya sa harap ng dalawa and cocked his head a little.

"Hindi ka na pwedeng buhatin ni Mama, little man." Devi gently said.

"Why?" Sabay nilang tanong ni Ayel. Lumapit sa kanya si Ayel kaya mabilis niya itong kinarga.

Devi chuckled at them and showed him a pregnancy test.

"No way..." He uttered. Castiel's eyes widened, halos mabingi siya sa lakas ng tibok ng puso niya.

"What's that thing, Papa?" Tanong sa kanya ni Ayel.

"Little Asthreia Cale is on her way, Castiel!" Devi beamed at her as she show her a picture of an ultrasound.

"Woah! Is that my little sister, Mama?" Amazed na tanong ni Ayel sa picture na pinapakita ni Devi. "Why'd she looks bean?"

Castiel burst out laughing and cupped Ayel's fluffy cheeks, his son can sometimes ruin the moment. Inakbayan niya si Devi at marahan na hinalikan sa noo.

"I love you both." He whispered as he smirked mischievously to his wife.

Pregnant Devi means he'll be on action again.
