Ulie’s parents will be here in the Philippines next month. He decided to tell them about my condition by then.
The idea of meeting his parents makes me nervous.
I don’t have any idea about Ulie’s fiance. I don't even know her name. I will be considered a rich person but compared to Ulie’s wealth. I am nothing. I am not sure if his parents will accept me.
I don't have any plan to marry their son. I think that's enough for me not to worry about his parents. I should be okay whether they will like me or not because no matter what they think of me or my situation, I will keep my twins.
Two weeks have passed when Ulie found out about my pregnancy.
I must commend him because I never expected that he would support me with my pregnancy.
Almost every day, he's in my penthouse to bring all my cravings. Even if it was already late, once I call him, he will be here to get what I told him to buy. He sometimes spends the night here.
So far, he's tolerable. I like our arrangement: no pressure, no expectation, it's all for our twins.
I was back from my deep thinking when I heard my phone ring.
"Hello?"
‘I'm already in the basement.’
"Okay. I'll be right there."
Ulie and I will go to my OB for a check-up. Today we will finally know the twin's gender. Speaking of twins, I haven't told him that we had twins.
When we arrive at the hospital, people keep staring at us. I don't know if those people knew us or they are just curious.
When we arrived at my OB’s clinic, my OB eyes widened upon seeing Ulie.
"Hi, I'm Kade Ulysses Escarrer. I'm the father of Penelope's child." He introduced himself in a formal tone.
I saw my OB blush as Ulie introduced himself.
I just shook my head. Ulie’s presence makes the girl giddy.
"Dra. Martha Allejo." She also introduced herself in a formal tone.
Dra. Allejo’s assistant guides me to the ultrasound area to check my twins' gender.
She made us hear the twins’ heartbeat again.
Until now, this pregnancy feels surreal. It hasn’t fully sunk yet that there are twins inside my tummy.
I look at Ulie, and I saw him smiling while listening to our twins’ heartbeat. It was his first time hearing it, and I can see myself in him when I heard it for the first time.
"Are you ready to know the gender of your twins?"
I saw Ulie’s forehead creased. "T-twins?"
Dr. Allejo nodded. "Yes, Mr. Escarrer, didn't Ms. Cabello tell you that you had twins?”
He then looked at me. "No. She hasn't told me yet."
