((( Rhio POV's )))
When I arrived at Jasmin's room, I saw her trying to sit up.
I sat beside her to help her sit, until suddenly she hugged me. I hugged her back.
We were both silent.
Until she started crying again.
This crazy woman is really a crybaby.
But I thought it was normal...since she's officially a mother now.
"I'm really sorry Rhio..."
"How are you feeling?" She didn't answer but remained hugging me.
It was just like the last time...before she ran away.
"You need a good rest," I said. She's still quiet.
"You have to eat. You need to b.r.e.a.s.tfeed Baby Kevin…remember?"
No response. What's happening to her?
I detached myself from the hug to see if she'd fallen asleep again. But she's still crying.
"Until when can you weep?" I smiled at her puffy eyelids.
"Because...I'm afraid I might...leave you again. I don't want that to happen."
"Will that crying do anything about that?" She shook her head.
"We're both parents now Jasmin. We need to mature enough... You're now a mom and I'm finally a Daddy. Let's do what's right. Okay?"
She nodded. I wiped her tears with my fingers.
"Well maybe, forget everything that happened. I'm fine now."
"Eh?"
"...You'd still pay for it once you recovered," I winked at her.
"Huh?"
"Honestly, I was worried for you. Thankfully, the birthing went smoothly. Baby Kevin waited first to see Daddy because Mommy had been so mischievous. So…what do you want now?"
"Daddy? Do you mean you're?"
"Confirmed. Me and no one else.""
"Really?" I kissed her swiftly.
I'm Kevin's Father.
"Are you sure Rhio?" I kissed her again.
"Zhi---"
And again….
"What else..."
She slapped my face off as I was about to kiss her again. Ouch.
"Will you let me finish me off my sentence first?"
Ouch. That was painful.
"It's your fault I hit you again," she frowned.
"Because I missed my crazy wife's lips. Of course, Kevin a hundred percent surely my son."
Jasmin took a deep breath and smiled at me.
"I knew so…because you've got connection with him even since he's still in my w.o.m.b."
"Yah? Then why did my crazy wife had to get me check it myself so she'd stop doubting? Oops."
She was about to hit me again.
I leaned close to her ear and whispered…
.... Her reaction was precious. Flushed up and did bite her lips.
I squeezed her cheek.
She's funny.
"Rhio..."
"We'll get to that point, Jasmin." She shook her head.
"You can't refuse me Jasmin."
"Who told you I can't?"
"Me." She blushed and I couldn't help but laugh at her expression.
But most of all...I'm happy to see that we're doing well again. I'll never let her escape me again.
"Get out of here," Jasmin suddenly threw the pillow at me.
"Nah. It's your fault I've gotten more possessive now... I'll never put my eyes away from you again."
"Oh…Then where's the maturity you're talking about in that?"
"That's part of maturity."
The door opened and Deo came in.
"Sir..." Behind him were three nurses.
"Rhio..." I approached the nurse who was carrying baby Kevin.
He's so small and fragile. I lifted him up and looked at Jasmin.
"Rhio..."
"Kevin….you want Mommy?" I looked at his little face.
"No, baby. Mommy might take you away from me again."
"Rhio…give him to me."
"No way."
"Zhi-"
"Daddy's gotta kiss baby Kevin first."
Deo laughed too as he helped install Baby Kevin's little crib. Jasmin stirred from her seat.
"Oops." I stepped away from the bedside.
"Rhio!" I came closer and reached her hands, "Gently…"
She carefully took the baby and watched him passionately.
"Rhio..." She was teary again.
"I have...a baby." She's just as happy as I am.
"Our baby." I just grinned at her as I held back my tears.
Because I was finally seeing... My own little family.
