Jay's POV
It's 7am and I just woke up from a loud banging on my door.
"WHAT?",I screamed.
"Wake up baby sistah,you need to admire my handsome face"Percy said
"Seriously Percy? Can't I have a second of peace without you bragging about your ugly face?",I said opening the door.
"Oh my gosh, you're hurting me baby sistah",He said holding his chest.
"Why are you so dramatic Percy?",I asked genually worried about him.
"You mean handsome, intelligent and very very attractive.I don't know,I guess I'm just really blessed with beautiful characteristics.",he said holding up his mirror and admiring himself.
What's wrong with this guy?I thought as I was walking down the stairs.I haven't eaten anything since yesterday and this is pretty bad since I'm pregnant now.I hope papa has prepared something good for breakfast because I'm really hungry.
"Good morning anak",papa greeted me
"Good morning everyone",I said back already sitting on the chair eating pancakes 🥞.
I suddenly started having a weird feeling in my stomach and I wanted to throw up.I quickly run to the bathroom and threw up.When I returned everyone was looking at me with a serious expression.Even Percy was looking normal for once.I knew it was interigation time by the way the were glaring at me.
"So... ummm....are we going to visit the university today or-",I tried to say to avoid any questions but papa cut me
"Are we going to ignore what just happened?",papa asked slightly angry.
Crap they got me
"Well umm..that was ummm... morning sickness",I said running out of ideas.
"Jay...",Lina(my stepmom)said a bit suspicious
Great,I thought.I could hide my pregnancy from papa but she is a girl,of course she would get suspicious.
"Is there any possibility that you are pregnant?",she continued
Okay, this is it.I either tell them now that it's soon or I'll fake it until I make it.But they will find out If I don't leave in time.I mean my belly will start showing anyway.So should I tell them?I think that's the right thing to do.Alright I'll tell them.And let's just hope that they won't kill Keifer.Be brave Jay, you got this.
"Yes",I mumbled.
All three of them froze for a second before bombarding me with questions.
"What? When? You're really young!",papa and Lina said almost at the same time.
"I know.I'm really sorry 😔 I wasn't planning to tell you guys until I got some things sorted out but you found out sooner than expected.",I said
Omg I feel like Percy knows something I don't.He is looking at me with an expression like saying 'i know what you did and I'm about to expose you '.Just then his voice cut through the silence of my thoughts..
"Is it Keifer?",he asked with no hesitation.
All three of them turned their heads towards me silently waiting for my answer.
"Yes",I blurted without thinking "It's Keifer'
Percy smirked and said "I knew it"
Excuse me?How exactly did you know huh?Besides I'm happy that he is the father of my child.He is the best person I've ever met.He is sweet,protective,he takes good care of his siblings and he showed me his love every single second when I was in the Philippines.
Now that I think about it,I miss him so much.I wonder how is he.Does he think about me?Has he found someone else already?I mean he better not because we never officially broke up meaning he is still my boyfriend.Plus he has to take responsibility for the baby.But what if he doesn't want to?I haven't even told him yet.
Should I call him and tell him everything?But I can't call from my phone cause he will tell Edrix to track me.Whatever I'll just use my stepmom's phone.
"Mama?", I called her sweetly"can I use your phone to make a call please?"I said and she gave me her phone.
As I dialed Keifer's number my fingers were trembling.I finally called and...
Keifer's POV
It was early in the morning. My schedule was packed with duties and studies.
-wake up,take my siblings to school,attend meetings for the Watson comp,return home and study till noon,eat,sleep and all over again every single day.But today it felt different.
I was eating breakfast when Kieren came up to me and asked the question I avoided for a long time.
"When is Ate Jay coming back?"
I froze.Like completely.I didn't have an answer.She left suddenly one day giving me that note.I still have that.It is proof that she is safe,but it feels like something is off.Like she forgot to mention something really important.
"I-I don't know buddy.."I said holding back tears.
"Okay kuya..",he answered.
Just then my phone rung.Unknown number.Must have been a mistake I thought until it rang again,and again the fourth time I picked it up and it was like time stopped.
It was her.Jay Jay.My girlfriend,my entire world,the reason I'm alive.She called when she said that she wouldn't.I thought I'd never hear her voice again.
"Hello,who is this?"I asked to double check even though I knew really well who she was
"Keifer,hi.It's Jay"she said
"Jay,how are you?I haven't heard from you in so long."
"Yes, I'm fine.How about you?Is everything alright in the Philippines without me?she said and chuckled slightly
"I mean yes it's ok I guess but it's not the same without you.We all miss you so much.Where have you been Jay?"
"In New York.I am with my father,his wife and Percy."
"Really huh?And when are you coming back home?I need to see you so bad"
"I don't know about that....I think I'll stay here"
"Then I'll come to you.Please just let me see you."
"Please don't come.Look that's not the reason I called so just listen to me okay?"
Something about the way she talks makes me want to leave everything I'm doing and just go see her.But I feel like she had a reason she left and I should respect that right?
"Okay, I'm listening",I said
"I'm pregnant",she said like it was the most normal thing in the world."and it's yours."
For a moment I just stayed silent trying to figure out what just happened.It's not that I'm not happy.To be honest it's the exact opposite.I'm over the moon right now.I'm so happy I'm gonna be a dad but I feel a bit scared too.
"Really?",I asked excitedly.
"Yes, really",she said sounding relived.
"So, I'm gonna be a dad?"
"Yes,Keifer you're gonna be a dad"
"Jay,you have no idea how happy I am right now"
"And I thought that you wouldn't want to take responsibility",she said laughing
I haven't heard her laugh in so long
"Jay now I really need to see you both"
"Sorry Keifer I can't.I'm just not ready to face anyone yet.I mean the rest of my family just found out and it's been a lot lately so I'm not ready.Sorry."
"Don't be sorry for your decisions Jay.I understand that you need time to process everything,I just want to be with you and help you now that you need someone to do so.I'm still your boyfriend after all right?"
"Right.Thank you for understanding."
"Of course"
"Keifer I need to go now"
"Okay.Please call me back later if you have time."
"Okay I'll try."
"I love you Jay.Until scientists find the end of the universe."
Oh how I missed saying that to her
"I love you too Keifer"
"Bye"
*Call ended*
Pregnant?I'm gonna be a dad?I'm still processing everything.First of all Jay is definitely safe since she is with her father and Percy.Second of all she still loves me.Omg I'm so happy right now.
Jay's POV
.....
"I love you Jay.Until scientists find the end of the universe."he said and I was already holding back tears.
Oh how I missed him saying that to me.
"I love you too Keifer",I said without thinking much because that's how I feel
*Call ended*
I'm relieved he is actually excited about the baby.And I thought that he wouldn't want to take responsibility.
As I stood up and opened my bedroom door I faced Percy leaning on the wall looking straight at me.
Percy POV
I was still processing what she just told us.Pregnant.At 18.By Keifer.A part of me wanted to go all the way to the Philippines and beat the hell out of him but another part of me wanted to stay calm and be by Jay's side.
I was going to my room when I heard Jay talking to someone with Mama's phone.So I stood outside her bedroom door and listened to her,while trying to figure out who she's talking to.
I think she is talking to Keifer bacause she mentioned the Philippines and she also said I love you in the end so who else could it be.
As she stepped out I watched her face changing expressions faster than the speed of light.She went from happy and relieved to confused to absolutely guilty and scared.Is she scared of me?As she should ,but she needs me right now so let's not make her life a living hell yet.
"So who were you talking to?"I said trying to act strict.
"Keifer",she said
"What were you talking about?"
"The baby and we just talked about random stuff since we haven't heard from each other in a while."
"Oh ok "I said and I went to my room
Jay's POV
Wth just happened?Why is he so calm all of a sudden.I swear an hour ago he looked at me like he wanted to murder me.I guess his self obsession messed up his IQ🤣. Anyway, I'm hungry again because I didn't eat well before.
"Papa, can you make me something to eat please"
"Sure,anak.What do you want to eat?"
"Lechon",I said slightly pleading him with my gaze
"Fine,but not too much, it's not good for you especially now that you're pregnant."
"Fine.Thank you papa"
After I ate I went to my room and drifted off to sleep.
When I woke up It was already noon and I started thinking about how I'll be able to leave this home.But I don't have any other choice.They are clearly mad about my pregnancy and I don't want to be a burden to anyone.I need to start planning everything before it's too late.Where will I live?How about California.Yes,that's good.I need to go as far as I can.
I need to book my flight soon because if my belly gets too big they won't let me board on the plane.I searched for a while and found a flight to California in 2 weeks from now.I didn't think twice and booked a ticket.
"I promise I won't let you down"I said slowly rubbing my belly.
