Wayne's POV

"Wayne, tumayo ka nga d'yan." She softly said, trying to pull me up but I remained on my knees.

"I didn't mean everything I said. I'm an idiot. I'm so sorry, Angel." I was bawling like a little kid who had badly scraped his knees. "Please, forgive me. Kahit ano'ng sabihin mo gagawin ko. Kahit ano susundin ko. Kung gusto mo kong saktan, saktan mo ko. Lahat gagawin ko, lahat ng galit mo tatanggapin ko. I just can't lose you again, Tanya. I can't..."

"Wayne..." Her voice broke with tears.

"Tell me you forgive me. Please, Angel... I promise, I will make it up to you and our baby. I'll never let you go again. I love you and our baby and I can't imagine not having you in my life. You're the only thing that made sense to me from the very beginning. I need you. Mahal na mahal kita, Tanya."

She brushed her fingers through my hair soothingly. I lifted my eyes up at her and our gaze met. Her doe-like eyes were coated with tears. When she looked deep into my eyes and a tender smile appeared on her lips, it was as if my whole world had stopped. The part of me that I had lost, I found in her again.

"Tumayo ka na nga d'yan." She wiped my tears away.

"Tell me you forgive me. Please, I need to hear it from you." I desperately begged.

"I've already forgiven you. Ayaw ko magdala ng galit sa dibdib ko para sa ama ng anak ko. Hindi ko pa siya nakikita o nahahawakan mahal ko na ang anak natin. Our baby's a part of you and I can't hate you because of that."

Despite the endless tears, I managed to break a smile. I kissed her stomach and gently caressed it. "Baby, sana mapatawad mo din ang Daddy. I made a huge mistake. I hope someday you won't hate me for all the things I had said. I was confused and angry. At that time, I felt like getting mad at your Mom was the only way I could feel sad and strong at the same time. I'm so sorry. Mahal na mahal kita ni Daddy, this is what I would want you to always remember."

I showered her stomach with kisses as she continued stroking my hair. She posseses the gentlest touch for the broken soul. Tanya pulled me up after a few moment.

"Tanya..." I cupped her face with my hands. Her face radiated her beauty, the beauty that whispers ever so subtly to my soul. The beauty that revealed not only her physical beauty but the beauty of her heart. The beauty that I fell in love with, the one that captured my heart and soul first before entrancing my eyes. "I don't want to lose you again. Do you remember the plans we had when we were younger? Hindi pa huli ang lahat para magawa natin ang lahat ng iyon. Let's make it happen... When you're with me I know everything's going to be okay and even if it's not, then at least you're with me. When you're gone I feel like my body is missing a piece of itself. I can't do without you. I can't let you go. You're the only one who can quiet my mind so I can sleep at night because you turn my nightmares into dreams. Your hand is the only hand I want to hold when I'm old and gray. I want to love you until the very last of my breath."

She bit her bottom lip to keep herself from sobbing. It all went silent. Her soul and my soul, every string that held that both together and finally we became one again. Our broken pieces fitted back together. It was only her that I wanted. Just her and I together. There would never be an amount at which I love her enough.

"Mahal na mahal kita, Tanya." I pressed my lips against hers. "Please, give us a chance."

"Wayne, mahal na mahal din kita..." She murmured against my lips.

I pulled my lips away from her. "Sumama ka na sa akin. Kayo ni Therese. Magsimula tayo ng panibago kasama ang magiging anak natin."

"Saan tayo pupunta?" She asked, her brows furrowing.

"Anywhere away from here. We could build our dreamhouse together. A small house with three bedrooms and a huge backyard where our kids would play." I brushed away some loose strands of her hair with my fingers. "I'm begging you, Angel. Sumama ka na sa akin. Iwan mo na si George."

She blinked and looked at me as though I said something insane. "Gusto mong iwan ko si George?"

"We're going to have a baby soon. I don't want another man to father my own child... Tanya, nagmamakaawa ako sa'yo. Ako naman ang piliin mo. Ako naman ang mahalin mo."

"Vuile Teringslijer!" I heard an angry voice from behind me. Next thing I knew George was grabbing me by the back of my shirt. I turned to face him and before I could even see him, his fist landed on my face. Tanya screamed. I tumbled back, lost my balance and fell to the ground. He was still strong for an old man. "What are you doing here, you bastard?"

My eyes narrowed to him as I wiped the corner of my mouth. Before I could even get up, he kicked me in the fucking stomach. I let out a groan.

"George! Tama na!" Tanya shrieked and hugged him from behind.

"I'm going to kill that bastard, you'll see!" He angrily said.

"You dirty fucking old man!" Still in pain, I forced myself up. I grabbed him by the collar and pushed him against a wall.

"Wayne, bitawan mo siya!" Tanya screamed but I ignored her.

I saw red as I looked at George. The man who had taken my place. The man who made the woman I love a mistress.

"I'm taking back what's truly mine and you can't do anything about! Tanya is already pregnant with my child!" My teeth gritted and my jaw clenched.

"The child is not yours, you bastard." He growled. "I won't let you have her! You'd to kill me first before you could take Tanya away from me!"

"Then I fucking will!"

"Ano ba? Tumigil na nga kayo!" Tanya tried to pull my hand off of George. "Wayne, bitiwan mo siya!"

"Go ahead! Kill me! I dare you! Do it, fool!"

"How dare you! How dare you make her your fucking mistress!" I pressed him harder against the wall. My anger built up like a baloon being pumped full of air and it exploded all over. "Tanya is mine! She had always been mine! I'll make you pay for what you did to her!"

I lifted my fist up and was about to punch him.

"Wayne..." Tanya's grip on me loosened. She clutched onto her stomach. "Wayne..."

"Tanya..." I quickly let go of George. "W—what's wrong?"

"Ang sakit ng tiyan ko." She crouched down. "Wayne, ang baby natin..."

I exhaled a cuss and I held her. Her face paled and she began to pant in pain.

"Sweetheart..." George's voice was filled with worry. "Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to the baby. We'll get you to the hospital."

I lifted Tanya and carried her into my arms. George ran out to his car and opened the backdoor. I came rushing into the car and I sat on the backseat. George took Therese to the next door neighbor, a nice old woman, before slipping into the car.. Tanya's head rested on my lap. I stroked her hair and it was wet with her sweat. She was breaking out in cold sweats. If I could, I would take every pain she was feeling right now. I told her to calm down and that our baby was going to be fine even though I was as scared her and I was panicking inside.

We rushed her to the hospital and the nurses were quick to attend to us. I carried her and gently put her on a wheelchair. The nurses pushed her wheelchair in and I didn't let go of her hand. She was placed on a hospital bed in the emergency room.

"Wayne, ang baby natin." She sobbed.

"Shh... our baby will be okay. Just try to calm down." I soothinly told her as I stroke her tummy.

"Sir, kailangan niyo po munang lumabas. Ichecheck po ni Doktora ang pasyente." A nurse said as she pulled the curtains close around her bed.

"Wayne..." She whimpered.

"Angel, I'm here." I lowered my head to her belly and hugged her. "It'll be okay. Hang in there, baby."

"Excuse me po, sir..." A nurse tapped my shoulder.

I kissed her stomach and I lifted my head to kiss Tanya on the lips. "I'll just be outside. Nandito lang ako, Angel. I'm not going to leave."

She nodded her head.

With heavy heart and feet, I walked out of the small cubicle. Tears stung my eyes as I thought of the baby and Tanya. I would never forgive myself if something bad happens to any of them.

I was lost in my thought when I felt something hit me on the back of my head. "You scum bag! This is all your fault! If it wasn't for you, Tanya wouldn't be here in the hospital."

When I turned, I was met with George's angry eyes staring back at me with such fury. "If something bad happens to my daughter and grandchild I will kill you! I swear to all Gods, I will have your head on a pike!"

"W-what?" I doubted myself if I was hearing what he was saying right. "I... Daughter? Grandchild?"

"You moron!" He punched me square on the jaw. "You stupid idiot!" He punched me again. "You imbecile! You good for nothing, son of a bitch! I don't know what my daughter saw in you!"
