peach mango pie

The colors white, sky blue, and teal fills-up Makisig's residence, as tons of baby products, is scattered around the house. Gifts coming from the bunch of old people in support of their decision, their peers, close friends, and open-minded neighbors. Everybody is getting ready for the baby's arrival, with weeks closing in, they're preparing for the kid that will change their whole life.

"I'm telling you Sampaguita, there's no need for us to baby-proof the house. There's not even a kid in here yet... And stop drinking beer out of the feeding bottle, Jesus!" Alon steals the feeding bottle as he utters the words.

"Give it back! That's some quality beer douchebag." Sampaguita grunts trying to take it back from Alon.

"Well, I'm off to work now."

"Do you really need to follow your client all the way to Nawalap? You'll definitely miss the birth of your grandson."

"Promise, I won't buddy. I'll be back immediately. Besides, you're looking at the Philippines' number one Private investigator." Makisig brags to his son.

Makisig Bacunawa, top of his class at the U.S Army, a dedicated and valued agent of the FBI back in the day, and now the go-to private investigator of the bourgeoisie and politicians' wives. Without a doubt he's services are the most prestige in this country, word in the underground is that he gets his job done even if it's the most ridiculous task there is. Now, don't get me wrong my father is just an investigator, not a mercenary, at least that's what he says.

"Be safe out there honey." Marikit kisses his husband and walked him out of the house where there's a car waiting for him.

"Hey cocksuckers, remember this 'peach mango pie' that's what you'll scream when the baby is coming out. And you, be tentative when she screams that." Sampaguita snores hard as she went down on the couch.

"You know if you take care of her, you might be ready for the baby's coming." Mirasol points at Sampaguita.

Alon groomed himself and left for work. He works for a fast-food restaurant as a busboy, his wage is just going to be enough for the expenses coming their way. He also joined a networking group selling a variety of cosmetic and hygiene products.

Labor sure is exhausting, this is not fun at all, why can't I just do detective work like buddy, I'm sure as hell that shit is way easier than this, I mean, look at this motherfuckers, all they do is eat, they don't even clean their shits before leaving a table goddammit. All of this is for you son, please let me feel that I've made the right decision.

Weeks passed and Mirasol is up with her last check-up at the OB-Gyne, Makisig hasn't returned from his little expedition. Mirasol is accompanied by Sampaguita in the check-up as Alon is still in his job... Mirasol felt a liquid spilling out her vagina, as she checks down, she is welcomed by lots of blood and exaggerated body pain. Mirasol screamed her lungs out.

"PEACH MANGO PIE!" Mirasol screams as she's still in shock at what is happening.

"Now wait there for just a bit, I'm calling Alon for him to know the news."

Alon's phone rang inside his bag, it already has 5 missed calls from an unknown number when he answered. He listened to the woman on the other line.

"Hi, Mr. Bakunawa this is from Nawalap General Hospital..."

He froze as he heard the unfortunate news, without thinking things through, Alon takes action and flew-off to the first flight going to Nawalap the same day.

"Where the fuck is he!" Mirasol aggressively asks as she delivers the baby.

"I called him, your mother called him, even my brother called him. We don't know where he is." Sampaguita replies.

Where is that douchebag of a man been, he's not like this, not when you need him the most, he won't bail like the Avatar. I'm starting to worry for that motherfucker.

The baby's head is now visible, although there's not a single response coming from it. The doctor and nurses started to worry. They rushed Mirasol into pushing the baby out. after a time of doing so, the baby came out without a single vagitus made by it, nurses checked its heartbeat, and notice that its beat is abnormal. They incubated the baby and attended Mirasol immediately.

What a pain in the ass. I should've been there for my baby's first cry and to hold him first, even though I might just drop him. Instead, I'm here in this paradise, not to have a little vacation, no, I'm here to pick-up my troubled father, what is it this time, a broken arm? A gun wound in the shoulder? An injured leg? Man what the fuck.

It has been two days, Mirasol and Alab is now discharged from the hospital and is resting at their house near the pub.

"Look at this adorable baby girl. She looks just like you!" Sampaguita utters while taking a shot.

"First of all, he's a boy, second stop drinking that, that one is listed to the inventory."

"I'll stop if, you let me hold the baby."

"Yeah, good luck with that."

A taxi stops in front of their house, Sampaguita noticed it and attended to the cab. A man exits at the back seat, it was Alon, she ran towards him and give him a welcoming gift.

*SLAP*

"The the fuck have you been you stupid motherfucker?!"

"You wouldn't believe it if I utter the words. It's better if you see it yourself. Where's my child?" Alon replies gloomily.

Sampaguita let him in and lead him to where the baby is. Seeing his son for the first time, Alon's eyes glare in tears, Mirasol lets him hold his baby for the first time. As soon as he holds it, he utters the words:

"There's nothing in this world that I won't do just for you. I swear to love and protect you."

So this is how it feels having a kid huh. It isn't such a bad thing, after all, I just don't know what our setting will be after what happened to buddy. God bless our family.
