Miguel's pov
His words, not mine.
Father was on the verge of going down to their house to have a fist talk with them until mother told him of her terms to them; that was the only reason he didn't bang down on the triplets' door.
"How's my son and grandson?" Dad asked the moment he walked into my room.
It might have been hours since I came up here to take a nap.
"They're both craving a strawberry cake," I yawn while stretched my taunt muscles.
Dad chuckled " what an odd thing to crave at night. Don't worry, I will get it for you," he gently closed the door behind him, properly leaving to get the cake for me.
I pat my hungry stomach " food is on the way."
Ever since today, I've eaten more than thrice, not counting the one my mates fed me today, yet I still feel as hungry as a person who haven't eaten anything for days now.
Walking to the bathroom to relieve my bladder that have being constantly disturbing me.
I stood in front of the mirror to check on myself.
My stomach is as flat as it have always being, the only difference being the small bump below, and my navel which seems to get a little prominent ( am one of those people whose navels entered deep into their stomach. Anyone looking for my navel will see a little hole instead, but right now, my navel is gradually making itself known to the world it have been hiding from for years now).
I palmed my stomach, patiently counting down to the day the baby will give out it's first kick.
I can even picture the expression that will be on my mates' faces when they feel their daughter kick for the first time in my stomach.
i sighed when I remembered I won't be close or intimate with my mates till the elapse of a month.
It might not be all that long, but am dreading the lonely days ahead, counting down to the day I will graduate in a month's time.
My graduation will be a day of joy and happiness to me because that will be the day I will move into my mates' house, it will also be the start of a new life with my mates.
I just can't wait to finally graduate from high school.
I just can't wait.
Walking back to my bed, I decide to rest for a little while before I Make my appearance downstairs, by then mom will be through with dinner, and dad will be back then.
I rose from the bed when sleeping proved to be difficult ( most days I sleep anything I close my eyes, but there are days I roll on the bed for a long time before sleeping, today's one of such days), and walked down to the kitchen to get some cookies and ice cream.
Right now, just the mere thought of eating those things made me salivate like a dog who saw a fresh fleshy bone.
I dare not wait before I take what I hunger for, because the more time I waste, the hungrier I become.
"Darling," mom smiled when she saw me walk into the kitchen "food isn't ready yet," she stirred the food she's making.
I frown "did I tell you am hungry?" I walk straight to the fridge and got my ice cream, and took five cookies from the cookie jar.
I don't want her to think I came downstairs to eat the food she made.
I might have come down for that reason also, but I won't give her the satisfaction of knowing the truth.
"Those things are not healthy for the baby," she gives my choice of food a glare " you need to be eating healthy things in order for you baby to grow healthy. Too much of junk and fast food isn't good for the health of the baby."
" And who are you to lecture me on what's healthy for my baby?" I raised a brow, l" last I checked you where the one who asked my mates to keep their distance," I look at her in anger.
If not for her, I would have been in my mates' embrace now, I won't be here wishing for them.
" I did it for your sake honey," she stirred whatever it is she's making.
" You did it for my own sake?" I scoffed " telling my mates to keep their distance was done for my sake?"
She sighs "am sorry Miguel," she says at last " I was feeling guilty because I was the one who pushed you on to them.
I thought I failed you as a mother. I thought you will hate me now you're pregnant."
" Why should I hate you?"
to be sincere, I don't regret having the triplets as mates, neither do I regret being pregnant with their child, if anything am ecstatic.
" For God's sake Miguel, you're eighteen!" she walks closer to me " eighteen years old people aren't meant to be shackled with the responsibilities of being a parent," she embraced me, placing my head on her stomach.
"I wanted you to have fun Miguel, that was the only reason I supported your relationship with the triplets, but I didn't know you will have more than fun Miguel.
Had I known, I wouldn't have asked you to date them, I wouldn't have given you up to them.."
" You're making it seem like you had a say in things mom," I roll my eyes at her " you wouldn't have been able to stop me even if you tried."
My destiny have already being entangled with my mates even before I came to Haji town.
"You wouldn't have kept me from them," not even Manuel could have achieved that.
Mom chuckled "I know, you're more stubborn than your father."
And like that, our mother son relationship was restored.
We went back to how things have been with us, my mind at peace because I finally have all I want.
Life couldn't get any better.
I have all I want.
