CHAPTER 62

IN JUST TWO WEEKS, the Quinn's mansion was renovated to its glory again. There were two workers, the day and the night shift. Kaya mabilis lang na natapos ang bahay nila. Tumulong din si Racini para sa seguridad ng bahay nila mula sa gate at sa pader na nakapalibot hanggang sa loob. Hindi talaga nito tinantanan ang bahay nila hangga't hindi nito aprubado ang security system.

And Phoenix came as well to help secure the house. Just for a couple of days. Ayaw kasi nitong mawalay sa asawa nang matagal.

And now, Mommy Beth, Daddy Von and Bailey went home to the Philippines together with Phoenix and Niccolo to fix the house there too and the security system as well.

Blake and Lucky stayed in Pennsylvania because her sister needed to be well taken care of. But now instead of staying in the hospital, Lucky was staying in the house and only trusted doctors could enter their home.

Samantalang hindi rin sila umuwi ni Blaze sa Pilipinas dahil napagkasunduan nilang samahan sina Blake at Lucky sa Pennsylvania. Ayaw nilang maghiwalay na apat. Ayaw ng kambal maghiwalay at ayaw rin niyang mahiwalay kay Lucky pagkatapos ng mga nangyari.

Si Yrozz naman ay pansamantala munang umuwi dahil may aayusin lang daw ito, si Uncle Ruthgar ay kasama pa rin nila sa bahay kasi wala naman itong pamilya na uuwian kaya nag-offer siya na sa kanila na lang ito tumira. Si Uncle Vent ay bumalik na muna sa Russia dahil miss na raw nito ang asawa. Sumama naman dito sina Lyf at Deth pero nangakong babalik agad.

Thankfully, the Triad had been silent but their plan to end them continued through out every continent. Hindi lang sila personal na gumagalaw tulad noong una na personal ang labanan dahil kay Helena at sa mga pinaggagagawa nito pero patuloy pa rin nilang nilalabanan ang Triad.

At si Happy pa rin ang nagdedesisyon sa lahat.

The first Arkhon went off grid again, much to her disappointment.

Kaya ngayon, hindi na sanay si Happy na walang maingay sa paligid. Kaya naninibago siya na kaunti lang sila sa bago nilang bahay at kulang na ng ingay.

It was just her and Blaze, Blake and Lucky, her father and Mommy Henreitta, sometimes Clever would visit, King was always in their house of course and Uncle Klaus, then Uncle Ruthgar... and of course, her baby, Kane.

Thanks to Uncle Ruthgar and her father and Uncle Klaus' connections, the adoption didn't take sixty to nine days like the usual. It only took more than a week to finalize everything and it was now settled.

Kane was now their legally son and he was now officially Prince Kane Quinn Vitale much to his chagrin because King now called Kane "His Highness."

And when Happy asked her father about Kane's standing in their family, if he could inherit her title as an Arkhon, her father told her that Kane couldn't, much to her disappointment. Kane was her adopted son but not her first born. It had to be by blood, according to the Organòsi law.

Her phone beeped, dragging her out from her reverie.

Napangiti siya nang makita kung sino ang nag-text sa kanya.

From: Kaney-baby

Mom, lunch is ready. I cooked it 🤤

Natawa siya sa emoticon na ginamit nito. A drooling emoticon. Natututo na talaga si Kane. Dahil 'yon sa kakasama nito kay King at sa daddy niya minsan.

Hmm... pero masarap kaya ang luto nito?

King had been teaching Kane how to cook, same with Blaze. Pero mas may improvement pa ang anak niya kaysa sa asawa niyang muntik-muntikan na namang masunog ang kusina. Kaya ipinatigil na ng daddy niya baka raw mag-renovate na naman sila.

"Yes, Mom." It was Blaze on the phone with Mommy Beth, stealing her attention.

Pinakatitigan niya ang asawa na nakahubad-baro at naka-denim jeans lang, saka nakapaa habang nakatayo malapit sa sliding window at kausap ang ina.

My husband really is a gorgeous man, sa isip-isip niya habang pinagmamasdan ang asawa at nakikinig sa pakikipag-usap nito.

"Yes, Mom... though it would be better if you make it four floors? Si Blake na lang kaya ang kausapin mo tungkol sa bahay? I know... I know... just remember, I need a whole floor for my family if we're gonna stay in one house."

Hindi na napigilan ni Happy ang sarili, nilapitan niya ang asawa.

"The whole floor is mine, Mom," sabi ni Blaze. "And I need four rooms in that floor with living room and some entertainment rooms. Yes, thank you, Mom. Bye. Love you too."

Nangingiting niyakap niya ang asawa sa baywang mula sa likuran, saka hinalikan ito sa batok. "Kumusta ang ipinapagawa nilang bahay sa Pilipinas?"

Blaze faced her and kissed her lips softly before answering her. "It's going well. I think."

"What's with the whole floor?" she asked while kissing Blaze softly on the lips. "And the four rooms?"

Blaze bit her lower lip. "The rooms. The master bedroom is for us. It's soundproofed of course, because my baby is a screamer."

Mahina siyang natawa sa sinabi nito. "That's because you're so good in bed and I can't help but scream."

"Hmm..." Hinalik-halikan ni Blaze ang leeg niya pababa sa dibdib niya, kapagkuwan ay bumalik na naman ito sa mga labi niya. "Then one room for Kane, of course. Then one for King, our butler. And the other room is for our baby's room."

"Hmm..." Happy just hummed as she kissed him back with passion and need.

Her hormones was at it again.

Nagpaubaya na lang siya nang igiya siya ng asawa pabalik sa kama at ihiniga. Hinayaan niya itong hubaran siya at halikan ang hubad niyang katawan.

"Baby..." Napasabunot siya sa buhok ni Blaze nang bumaba sa puson niya ang mga labi at dila nito. "Kane said lunch is ready. Maybe we should do this later—"

"Lunch can wait," sabi ni Blaze sa baritonong boses. "Let me eat you first. I need my dessert."

Umarko ang katawan ni Happy nang bumaba ang mga labi ng asawa sa gitnang bahagi ng hita niya, sa pagkababae niya at kinain nito 'yon.

"Oh!" Napaungol na lang siya nang malakas habang iginagalaw ang balakang niya para ipagduldulan ang pagkababae sa bibig ng asawa. "Oh! Uhmm! Blazey... oh!"

Blaze licked and ate her wetness until she came. Hard. And then Blaze took her from behind. Ayaw na nitong angkinin siya na nakahiga siya at kukubabawan siya dahil baka raw maipit nito ang sinapupunan niya at madaganan.

So, Blaze would always take her from behind and it always felt so good.

Lalo na't hinahalikan ni Blaze ang likuran niya, pinaglalandas ang dila sa likod niya at kinakagat-kagat ang balikat at leeg niya habang nag-uurong-sulong ang kahabaan nito sa loob ng mainit at basa niyang pagkababae.

"Ah! Blaze! Uhm!

Napahawak na lang sa bedsheet si Happy at ibinaon ang mukha sa unan habang sumisigaw sa sarap ng pag-angkin sa kanya ng asawa.

Her moans muffled because of the pillow but Blaze whispered over her ear as he fucked her from behind.

"Scream, baby," he whispered with his sexy deep baritone voice.

Napatingala si Happy at doon kumawala ang mahaba at walang inhibisyon niyang ungol nang sagarin ng asawa niya ang kahaban nito sa kaibuturan ng pagkababae niya.

Mas bumilis ang pag-angkin nito sa kanya. "Oh! Oh! Blaze!"

"Baby! baby! Oh! Fuck!" Blaze kept on hissing as he owned her body. "Baby—oh! Fuck! Fuck! You feel so good. Fuck."

Alam niyang malapit nang labasan ang asawa niya dahil mas nagiging marahas na ang bawat ulos nito na lalong nagpapawala sa kanya sa sarili sa sobrang sarap na nalalasap niya.

"Oh! Oh! Blaze! Shit—uhm!"

Nakagat na lang ni Happy ang pang-ibabang labi nang maramdamang nilabasan na naman siya kasabay ng pagpuno ni Blaze ng katas sa sinapupunan niya.

"Ohhh!" Mahaba siyang napaungol dahil sa sarap na lumukob sa buong pagkatao niya. "Oh... so good... I want more..."

Because of what she said, Blaze rubbed his fingers on her clit and started finger fucking her from behind.

One finger... then two and now, it was three.

"Oh! Oh! Uhm! Blazey..."

Happy was losing her mind again as her husband pleasured her with his fingers. In and out. She kept on groaning and moaning and her legs were shaking in so much pleasure building on her belly.

And then she felt his cock inside her again. Hard. Rough. And fucking her fast!

Sunod-sunod na puno ng pagnanasang ungol na lumabas sa bibig niya habang inaangkin na naman siya ng asawa. At nang sabay silang nilabasan, napadaing siya sa sarap sa pakiramdam ng katas na ibinaon nito sa kanya.

Blake licked her sweaty back before kissing her nape and asking. "More?"

Hinihingal na bumagsak ang katawan ni Happy sa kama, saka umiling. "Maybe later..."

Blaze chuckled before kissing her neck, down to her shoulder. Pagkatapos ay pinatagilid siya nito, paharap dito, para sipsipin ang naninigas pa rin niyang perlas na nasa tuktok ng dibdib niya.

Pinaglipat-lipat nito ang pagsipsip at pagmasahe sa dibdib niya hanggang pababa na naman ang kamay nito sa pagkababae niya pero pinigilan na niya ito.

"We can't... lunch, remember?" paalala niya sa asawa.

Blaze groaned. "I hate lunch."

Natawa siya. "Kane cooked it."

"Oh." That put a proud smile on Blaze's lips. "That's my boy."

Natawa si Happy, saka bumangon at pumasok sa banyo para maglinis ng katawan. Pagkatapos ay pumasok siya sa walk-in closet at nakita niya sa salamin na may mga kiss mark siya sa gilid ng leeg at balikat.

Mahinang natawa na lang siya at hinayaan 'yon.

She was married to the most amazing but horny insatiable man. There was nothing to be ashamed off.

Happy wore a spaghetti strap tops and sweatpants so she could breath freely. Ayaw na niyang magsuot ng jeans. Medyo may kalakihan na ang tiyan niya, ayaw niyang maipit ang baby niya.

Nang makalabas siya ng walk-in closet, tamang-tama na papasok naman si Blaze na bagong ligo.

Hinalikan muna siya nito sa mga labi bago pumasok sa loob para magbihis.

Napangiti na lang siya, saka hinintay ang asawa na makapagbihis para sabay na silang lumabas.

"Blazey, tingnan mo." Itinuro niya ang leeg na napansin niya kanina nang pinagmamasdan niya ang kiss mark na gawa nito. "Parang medyo dark itong parteng 'to ng leeg ko."

Blaze went to her side to kiss her neck. "There. No worries that's a pregnancy thing. Nangyayari talaga 'yan sa mga buntis minsan."

Happy pouted before cupping her own breast. "Kasama rin ba 'to sa pagbubuntis ko? Lumalaki na sila kaya gustong-gusto mong nilalamas."

Mahinang natawa ang asawa. "Yes. It's part of pregnancy. Inihahanda na sila ng katawan mo para sa breastfeeding ni baby."

Napatitig siya sa dibdib. "Hmm... para ka pala dapat kay baby, pero mas nauunang i-enjoy ni Daddy." She tsked. "Bad daddy."

Natatawang pinangko siya Blaze. "Come on, let's eat."

"Put me down, I can walk!"

"Just let me do this for you," sabi ni Blaze kaya hindi na siya nakipag-argumento.

Hinayaan na lang niya itong dalhin siya sa kusina.

When Blaze put her down finally, Happy immediately went to her sister's side and kissed Lucky's cheek.

"I'm glad you're here," sabi niya sa kapatid.

Lucky smiled. "I'm feeling better today." Medyo nanghihina pa rin ang boses nito pero hindi na tulad noong una. "Gusto kong kumain kasama kayo kahit on special diet pa rin ako."

Nginitian niya ang kapatid. "Of course. How's the talk with Clev and Mommy last night?"

Lucky smiled. "It was fun." She smiled at Mommy Henreitta. "Mommy is very lovely."

Napangiti naman si Mommy Henreitta na nilalagyan ng pagkain ang plato ng ama niya. "Kain na tayo," sabi nito. "Clev can't join us today," imporma nito sa kanila. "He's busy with the Triad problem in Europe. The boss, Niccolo Rasini asked for his assistance."

Hinalikan muna niya sa noo si Lucky bago umupo sa hinugot na upuan ni Blaze para sa kanya, sa tabi nito. Napapagitnaan siya nina Blaze at Kane.

"I'll call Clev later," sabi niya, saka nilagyan ng pagkain si Blaze sa pinggan at sinunod lagyan si Kane. "Ikaw ang nagluto nito?" tanong niya sa panganay.

Kane nodded with a shy smile. "But King helped me."

"Of course, you're my highness," sabi ni King na inaasar na naman si Kane.

Agad namang sumama ang mukha ni Kane. "Stop calling me that."

King chuckled. "What's wrong? You're a prince now."

Hindi umumik si Kane pero alam niyang iritado ito kaya naman bumulong siya rito.

"Don't feel bad about it. You're a prince, you are mine and Blaze's son. Own it because that's what you deserve and more. Okay?"

Kane automatically smiled. "Okay, Mom."

"Okay," nakangiting sabi niya, saka tinikman ang niluto ni Kane. "Hmm... masarap na magluto ang panganay ko," puno ng pagmamalaking sabi niya.

Si Blake naman ay kakapasok lang sa dining hall habang dala-dala ang pagkaing niluto nito para kay Lucky.

Lucky had a special diet. Pili lang ang pagkain na puwede nitong kainin dahil nga sa kalagayan nito. And so far, it was working. Lucky was feeling better. Ilang beses na rin itong nakasama sa kanilang kumain sa hapagkainan kaya natutuwa siya.

"Let me," sabi ng ama niya na siyang naglagay ng pagkain sa pinggan ni Lucky. "Hindi ko 'to nagawa para sa isa ko pang prinsesa."

Pareho silang napangiti ni Lucky sa sinabi ng ama. Her father had been making it up to Lucky these past few weeks. And it made her heart swell. Nakikita kasi niyang ipinaparamdam talaga ng ama niya kay Lucky ang pagmamahal nito. And that was where their father was good at. Making his children felt special.

"Thank you, Daddy," sabi ni Lucky.

"Of course, princess." Hinalikan ng ama niya si Lucky sa noo bago bumalik ang atensiyon nito sa sariling pinggan.

"Mom called," sabi ni Blake na nakatingin kay Blaze. "I choose the whole second floor since they want to stay on the first floor—only if they're visiting—since Dad wants to go back to Tuscany."

"Well, Von is still a duke," sabad ng ama niya. "He has responsibilities."

"Then I'll take the third," excited na nakangitng sabi ni Blaze, saka tumingin ito kay King. "Wala ka namang balak humiwalay sa amin, 'di ba? Uncle Klaus is still with Dad here. Hindi pa rin sila naghihiwalay."

Uncle Klaus nodded his head and smiled proudly. "It's always an honor serving Master Dominick."

"Kung hindi siya sasama sa iyo, wala ka nang uutusan," sabad ni Blake na masama ang tingin kay Blaze.

Blaze scoffed. "Anong ako? Ikaw ang unang nag-utos sa kanya noon, naaalala mo?"

Agad na umiling si Blake. "Can't remember."

Blaze just tsked and looked at King. "Well?"

King nodded. "Of course. I'll always be with you and Young Miss. If I'm welcome."

"Welcome ka naman. Para may tagaluto ako kapag wala si Blake." Tumawa si Blaze. "I'm so blessed. So many cooks in the house. No worries because your room is already in the making," sabi nito pagkatapos uminom ng tubig.

"How about my room?" Kane asked, curious.

"Ikaw pa ba, makalimutan namin?" Inabot ng kamay ni Blaze ang buhok ni Kane para guluhin 'yon. "Your room is underconstruction as well. Then we will design it like how you like it, okay, buddy?"

"Okay." Kane smiled.

"How about my room?" King demanded.

Blake cut his steak before answering. "Lalagyan natin ng maraming vacuum, dustpan at walis ang kuwarto mo. You're our butler after all—"

"Young Miss, His Highness is bullying me," sumbong sa kanya ni King.

Sumilip naman si Kane kay Blaze. "King bullied me earlier. He keeps calling me Your Highness, Your Highness—"

"Stop." It was her father. He glanced at Kane and Blaze. "By the law, you two are now father and son. Dapat hindi na 'Your Highness' ang tawag mo kay Blaze, Kane."

Nagsalubong ang mga kilay ni Kane. "Kung ganoon... ano?"

"Not dad, please! Not dad!" pakiusap ni Blaze na ikinatawa niya.

Her father just rolled his eyes at Blaze before looking at Kane. "Bunso, call me Daddy Dom. Ayoko ng lolo. Hindi ako matanda," sabi nito, pagkatapos ay itinuro si Mommy Henreitta na nasa tabi nito. "Your very pretty Mommy Reitta and..." He gestured his hand at King's father and Uncle Ruthgar. "Uncle Klaus and Uncle Ruthgar.

"Then...." Kapagkuwan ay iminuwestra nito sina Blake and Lucky. "Call her Lucky because she's a bit younger than you and Blake, call him Kuya Blake." Then her dad pointed King. "Halos magkaedad lang kayo. Bahala ka na. And of course..." Iminuwestra nito ang kamay sa kanila ni Blaze. "Happy is mom and Blaze is dad."

"No!" Blaze sounded so horrified.

"Pops?" sabi ng ama niya sa patanong na boses.

Sumama ang mukha ni Blaze. "No! No name calling. Blaze is fine."

"No. Dad is more appropriate," giit ng ama niya. "It's the law."

"No—"

"Dad," sambit ni Kane habang nakatingin kay Blaze. "That does feel uncomfortable, but I can endure... if it's the law."

Blaze let out a loud breath. "I'm horrified right now."

"Hayaan mo na si bunso," sabi ng ama niya kay Blaze.

Blaze tsked. "Fuck, dad it is."

Natuwa si Happy, saka pumalakpak pa. "Yey! Dapat masanay ka na, Blazey. Malapit nang lumabas ang baby natin."

Blaze just sighed before glancing at Kane. "Please don't call me dad outside the house," pakiusap nito kay Kane. "I will really kick your ass."

Kane grinned— for the first time. "Yes... for the law... Dad."

Nasapo ni Blaze ang noo, saka hinilot ang sentido. "This is fucked up. Just fucked up. Fucked up."

Blake snickered. "Aww... the big baby is now a daddy. Nice. A round of applause for Blaze."

"Blakey! Stop it!" Blaze hissed.

Natatawang hinalikan niya ang asawa sa pisngi. "Hayaan mo na. He's our adopted baby, he can't keep calling you Your Highness and I love you... so, so much for letting him call you that. I know it's awkward but let's just try, okay? Kung hindi mo talaga kaya, baguhin na lang natin."

Blaze face immediately softened. "I love you too, baby."

Blake chuckled. "Pussy."

"Blakey-baby." May diin ang boses ni Lucky. "Don't bully Blaze. And I told you to stop cussing!"

Agad na natahimik si Blake, saka hinalikan sa mga labi si Lucky. "I love you, baby."

From angry to smiling face. Lucky's face changed in an instant. "I love you too, Blakey-baby."

At naghalikan ang dalawa na parang walang tao na ikinangiti na lang niya. Ganoon din sila minsan ng asawa, nakakalimutan nilang may kasama sila.

"Anyway..." Her father clasped his hands stealing all their attentions. "I have an announcement to make."

Lahat sila tumingin sa ama niyang may tinawagan sa cell phone nito at nang sumagot ang nasa kabilang linya ay agad na nakilala niya ang boses ng dalawa.

It was Daddy Von and Mommy Beth.

"Von, it's on," sabi ng ama niya.

Daddy Von chuckled. "Sorry we can't do this face to face. Dominick can't wait anymore. He's excited."

Hinawakan ng ama niya ang kamay ni Mommy Henreitta na nasa ibabaw ng mesa.

Lihim siyang napangiti. Parang alam na niya ang announcement nito.

"Everyone..." Tiningnan sila ng ama niya isa-isa. "Let's say it together, Von!"

Tumawa si Daddy Von. "Okay. Ready! Go!"

"Reitta and I are getting married," sabi ng ama niya.

"Beth and I are getting married!" masayang sabi ni Daddy Von.

"Yey!" Happy squealed in glee. "Yey! Yey!"

"Yehey!" Lucky squealed in happiness as well as everyone clapped their hands.

"About damn time!" sabi ni Blake na nakangiti. "Fuck it!"

Blaze was grinning from ear to ear as well. "Congratulations! It should be a double wedding!"

"It is," nakangiting sabi ni Mommy Henreitta. "Beth and I already talked about it."

"Yes," Mommy Beth added. "Hindi pa namin naayos lahat pero salamat sa suporta n'yo. You make me all happy."

"And I'm adopting Bailey," dagdag na anunsiyo ni Daddy Von. "I already told Themarie and she's okay with everything. She said she misses you both and she's looking forward to seeing you again."

"We missed her too," nakangiting sabi ni Blaze. "Good job, Dad. Thank you. Ingatan mo si Mommy. Dalawa kaming babalatan ka nang buhay kapag sinaktan mo ang mommy namin."

"Don't hurt her, Dad," bilin naman ni Blake sa ama. "You know what she'd been through. She needs more loving than anyone. Don't let her baby you, you baby Mom."

Lucky chuckled. "Coming from my Blakey-baby who likes to be babied... hmmm..."

Blake silenced Lucky by kissing her. "Sshh... sa atin lang dalawa 'yon."

"Bye!" sigaw ni Daddy Von, saka namatay na ang tawag.

Napangiti siya habang pinagmamasdan ang mag-asawang Lucky at Blake, kapagkuwan ay ng bigla na lang siyang hinalikan ng asawa.

"Stop looking at my twin." May pagseselos sa boses ni Blaze. "Ako ang asawa mo, sa akin ka tumingin."

Napapantastikuhang napatitig siya sa asawa. "Nagseselos ka pa rin, eh, kasal na tayo."

"You're looking at him tenderly." May pag-aakusa sa boses nito.

Mahina siyang natawa. "Because they're so sweet and I appreciate it. Lalo na sa kalagayan ng kapatid ko. It warms my heart."

Sumama ang mukha ni Blaze. "At hindi ako sweet?"

She pouted. "Nagpapa-baby ka palagi."

"Oh." Blaze looked take aback and she regretted if immediately.

"Blazey..." She softly cupped her husband's face. "I love you just the way you are. At saka sweet ka naman, ah..." She smiled cheekily. "Most of the tine."

His face actually fell. "So not all the time? Fuck." He actually looked bothered now. "Should I, ahm, be sweeter? Ahm, where am I lacking, I'll fill into it—"

She kissed Blaze's lips and whispered, "Don't change. I love you just the way you are."

Napatitig sa kanya ang asawa. "Talaga?"

Tumango siya, saka masuyo itong ngitian. "I want my Blaze. The real Blaze. Flaws and all."

"Hmm..." Than was just what Blaze said before returning to his food.

Si Happy naman ay napapantastikuhang ipinagpatuloy ang pagkain niya. Nanatiling tahimik si Blaze habang nag-uusap sila sa kasal ng mga magulang nila. Ni hindi ito umimik na ikinakunot ng noo niya.

Kahit si Blake ay napansin 'yon, lalo na nang umalis si Blaze sa hapagkainan pagkatapos kumain.

"Ano'ng nangyari do'n?" tanong ni Blake sa kanya.

Nagkibit-balikat siya. "I'm not sure. Baka may sinabi akong na-offend siya? I should talk to him and apologize."

Mahinang natawa si Blake habang napapailing. "He will always be a big baby."

Napangiti siya. "I like babying him. Kaya ayos lang."

Blake faced him, his face was serious. "Thank you, for taking care of my twin."

"Inaalagaan niya rin naman ako," nakangiting sabi niya, saka nag-excuse kay Blake para lapitan ang mga magulang. Hinalikan niya sa pisngi ang ama niya at si Mommy Henreitta. "Congratulations. I'm happy for you two. Be amazing!"

Tumawa ang ama niya, saka hinalikan siya sa noo. "Thank you, princess."

Mommy Henreitta beamed at her. "Thank you, Happy."

Nginitian niya ang dalawa, saka nagpaalam sa mga ito para hanapin ang asawa niya. Pero nalibot na niya ang buong bahay, wala siyang Blaze na makita. Kaya naman tinungo niya ang kuwarto para kunin ang cell phone na iniwan niya sa bedside table para tawagan si Blaze pero hindi nito sinasagot ang tawag niya.

Nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya nang patayin nito ang tawag niya.

That's odd.

To: Hubby ❤️

Nasaan ka? Miss na kita.

She hit send.

Moments later, he replied.

From: Hubby ❤️

Give me an hour. Miss you too.

Nagsalubong ang mga kilay niya.

To: Hubby ❤️

Uwi ka na. Kiss kita 😘

Blaze replied immediately as well.

From: Hubby ❤️

I love you, baby 😘

Nag-reply pa si Happy pero wala nang sagot mula kay Blaze. Kaya naman pinalipas na lang niya ang isang oras na hinihingi nito sa pagbabasa ng mga report na dumating sa kanya mula sa anim na boss ng Organòsi.

Pero tapos na niyang basahin 'yon, wala pa rin si Blaze kaya naman nag-umpisa na siyang mag-alala kung nasaan ang asawa niya.

Happy called Blaze's phone. No answer.

That was it! She would track him down!

Akmang lalabas siya ng kuwarto para magpatulong kay Uncle Ruthgar nang makatanggap siya ng mensahe galing sa asawa niya.

From: Hubby ❤️

Baby?

Tumigil siya sa harap ng pinto at hindi na siya nakalabas dahil nag-reply siya sa asawa.

To: Hubby ❤️

What? Nasaan ka ba? You're making me worry!

Blaze replied immediately.

From: Hubby ❤️

Will you marry me?

Napatitig siya sa text ng asawa, saka nagsalubong ang mga kilay. "Baliw talaga 'yon." She tsked. "Para namang hindi pa kami kasal."

Napapailing na binuksan ni Happy ang pinto para lumabas ng kuwarto pero natulos siya sa kinatatayuan at napatigil sa paghakbang nang makitang nasa labas ang asawa niya. Nakatayo ito katabi si Kane na may maliit na white board na hawak na may nakasulat na, "Dad forced me to ask you to marry him again" at may arrow niyon sa ibaba na nakaturo sa hawak ni Blaze na singsing.

Hindi alam ni Happy kung bakit bigla na lang nanubig ang mga mata niya nang makita ang singsing na hawak ng asawa.

And when she looked at Blaze, he was looking at her lovingly. "I'm sorry because I'm not sweet all the time... just most of the time, and I know I'm lacking in a lot of things... but I'm willing to fill them for you... I'm more than willing to work harder. Just marry me again. In church this time." Nauwi sa ngiwi ang ngiti nito. "Pasensiya dahil natagalan. Pangako babawi ako. I will give you the grandest wedding, the most beautiful wedding dress, the most amazing reception, and my promised ring."

Her eyes fell on the ring he was holding. His promised ring. And tears just fell from her eyes.

She knew that design. The detailed work on the ring he was holding. She knew it very well because she designed it herself! Isa iyon sa mga singsing na gawa niya na wala pang nakakabili dahil sa presyo niyon.

It was the most expensive ring in her jewelry store.

And now Blaze was putting the ring on her finger and it had fit perfectly.

Happy just continued crying silently. She didn't even know why she was so emotional.

His promise—he fulfilled his promise to her. To buy her an expensive ring. Hindi naman importante sa kanya kung mahal o hindi, ang importante sa kanya ay tinupad nito ang pangako sa kanya.

Nakagat niya ang pang-ibabang labi. "Why ask me to marry you again? Kasal naman na tayo..."

Masuyo siyang niyakap ni Blaze, saka hinalikan sa gilid ng noo. "I promised you, remember? Magpapakasal tayo uli, sa simbahan na. This is me keeping that promise. Pasensiya natagalan. Ang dami kasing nangyari. Pero ngayong medyo tahimik na, pakasal na tayo sa simbahan, baby ko. Gusto na kitang iharap sa dambana. Unahan na natin sina Mommy."

Naiiyak na tumango siya, saka yumakap din sa asawa. "I love you, Blazey, and yes, I wanna marry you again."

Lalong humigpit ang yakap nito sa kanya. "I love you too, baby. So much." He buried his face on her neck, like he had always did. "I love you."

Happy was enjoying Blaze's embrace when she read what Kane had written on the white board again making her chuckle.

"Congratulations!"

Naiiyak na kumawala siya sa yakap ng asawa para hilahin si Kane palapit sa kanila. Niyakap niya nang sabay ang dalawang lalaking importanteng-importante sa buhay niya. Feeling their care and love for her.

Her husband and son.

"I love you two," sabi niya na naiiyak na naman. "Thank you for coming into my life and loving me. I promise to love you back, a million times harder."

Blaze kissed her temple. "I love you, baby."

Kane hugged her back. "I love you, Mom."

Happy closed her eyes as happiness filled her heart, making it swell. She felt contented and blessed and lucky.

She had her dad, who was now happy with her new mother. She had a very adorable sister who was now getting better and a brother that she adored. A brother-in-law who loved and cared for her sister so much. A very dependable butler, tracker and ultors and the Team Oldies whom she considered a part of her growing family. A loving son, her baby Kane and a very loving and caring husband, her Blazey. And inside her belly was an innocent life that she couldn't wait to welcome to their world.

The only thing she wanted now was to see Midnight, to find him. At ngayong may oras na siya, itutuon niya 'yon sa paghahanap kay Midnight. Hindi siya titigil hangga't hindi ito nahahanap.

She wanted her family to be complete and Midnight would complete it.

Other than Midnight, she had everything she could ever ask for. She felt complete—whole even.
