Eliana P.O.V.
It's only been two weeks since Gabriella, My daughter, was baptized.
"I love you baby" I said softly to Gabriella. Andrei holds Gabriel and pulls him out. That father and son were almost inseparable and Andrei wouldn’t even want to come into the office if I just didn’t push him.
"Hubby" I've been thinking about this for a long time and Kuya Jairo gave me some advice about this.
"Yes?" he answered without looking at me.
"I'm thinking about Gabriella"
"What about her?" he asked confusedly.
"I-i think your right" I stammered "Gabriella should carry your surname”
He suddenly walked towards me and menacing eyes looked at me "R-really?"
I nod "I'm sorry, I'm not thinking"
"It’s not like that wifey"
"What if Gabriella asks about her surname when she grows up? I don't know what to answer hubby" I can't help but to cry "I-I can't say that Mommy was raped and you're the result. I'm sure she will rebel, Gabriella might do that when she found out "I slowly laid Gabriella in her crib "And I don't want her to think that she's a bastard "I cried even more at what I said.
“Eliana, my daughter is not a bastard. Gabriella is my daughter,” I looked at him, his voice was cold and I could sense that he’s mad even though his aura was dark.
"Hubby, we can't deny the fact that I–..." he didn’t let me finish and cut me off.
"If you only let me, let me take a DNA test. We'll know the truth Eliana, But you didn't" he says emphatically.
Our daughter
"I truly respect your decision Eliana but don't you want Gabriella's to carry my last name? That's unfair for me and that's even more unfair to Gabriella,tto " I bowed as his voice rose Gabriella is my daughter, Eliana. Gabriella is not a fvcking bastard and will never be. She's my own flesh and blood. Keep that in your mind" he was ready mad at me, he sat down at our bed and closed his fists.
"I-i know" I mumbled.
"You know Eliana, you're her mother. Why does it seem that you don't want what's best for her?"
"I-it's not like that, hubby" I replied as if embarrassed.
"Then let Gabriella use my surname. My daughter deserves it" he left our room while I was left speechless.
“What the heck is going with both of you, Eliana?” Kuya Jairo asks.
I told everyone that Andrei and I what really happened between us and Kuya Jairo was shocked after hearing what really happened.
"Mi Amore, you're wrong on this part. You've been wrong from the beginning" my eyes immediately rolled "Andrei is willingly to be father for Gabriella, to take his last name but you don't want to" Kuya Jairo sighed.
"I'm scared brother, I'm scared we might suddenly fight in the future. Then he will criticize Gabriella. I don't want that to happen" I said and cried.
"Don't you trust Andrei? I know he's very guilty of you but he took it back, didn't he Mi Amore? I can see that he's now a good man and a good father as well as a good husband" I cried even more at what he said.
"I know brother, I know. I just can't help but fight with myself" every time I remember my outcome that day, I hate myself. Every time Andrei kisses me or touches me on the lips , I count sometimes that I tremble.
"We didn't want that to happen to you again, Mi Amore" Brother Jairo hugged my hand
"Don't see yourself down, because we are? We never thought of seeing you down. We know your situation Eli, So we understand you but I hope you don't refused Andrei what he is asking for Gabriella"
"But brother ..."
"Last time I drank with him, Dad and Neil were with him and even his Dad. He's really willing to adopt Gabriella. He also said 'If only Eliana really agreed for Gabriella and me to have a DNA test, I am really willing'" he will imitate Andrei "he said, Gabriella is my daughter. I can sense it. She's my own flesh and blood so she's not a bastard. I won't let Gabriella feel that she's different from her older brother Gabriel" I don't know what to say "He really loves you Mi Amore, I'm your cousin so I know everyone around you. You're just one of my cousins ​​on Mom's side because they're just two of Tita And we know what's best for both of you" he kissed my forehead a few times before standing out "Don't be selfish, Eli. Andrei is also having a hard time here, he's also hurting but he still tries to keep quiet" Kuya Jairo left me at the Garden.
"w-why did this happen to my family? To the family I dreamed of? I am a Good Child of God but why am I feeling like this? Do I deserve this?" I said tearfully while looking up at the sky.
It's past Eight Pm and I'm sure Andrei is home too. I just hope he doesn't see me here. He's really tired and seems out of place.
Andrei P.O.V.
"How's her?" I asked Jairo sadly.
"I guess she's fine" I'm here. I've been here since before. Standing and listening to their talks.
"Do you really accept my nephew?"
"Of course, she's my Princess" I smiled sweetly.
"Thanks" we both do fist bump before he leaves.
I went upstairs to our room to get a jacket. Eliana wasn't still planning to enter our house and she was still in the Garden.
“It’s cold, aren’t you coming in yet?” I asked coldly.
"A bit later" she said weakly.
"Is there anything wrong?" I put the jacket I was carrying on her, she looked at me in surprise.
"n-nothing" I stopped talking and just sat down next to her.
"Andrei" I didn't bother to answer and look at her "I'm sorry" Her voice cracked and rasped
"I didn't think of you... I-i never think about your feelings towards Gabriella" she was biting her nails "I'm really sorry ... She's your daughter. She's your daughter. She's not a bastard, ``she said while crying.
"At last ... You have also accepted me as Gabriella's Father. This is what I want Eliana. Being accepted as Gabriella's Father" I said happily "My princess is Gabriella, She's my first born daughter" She would have answered to speak "I love Gabriella, I love her very much as my Child. So please don't deny Gabriella to me." Full of resentment I said.
"S-sorry ..." I knelt down in front of her and kissed hers hand "I-I'm really sorry Andrei, Hubby ... I hope you don't change, Please" he said tearfully.
"I don't know" The pain in the eyes of the woman I love fades "If you let Gabriella take my last name I might change my mind but if you don't stop our marriage, I will really change my mind" I said seriously.
"A-andrei" she pouted "All I know is that our wedding will continue ah? I didn't say anything that it's not continue anymore!" I wanted to laugh but I just held back
"You're not serious about me, you're just forcing me" I said coldly.
"-I'm serious!" I couldn't stop myself from kissing her on the lips.
"You're just joking e-eh"
"I love you" I said sweetly.
"I love you too" I sealed her with a kiss.
Eliana P.O.V.
"Eli, what's wrong?" Since earlier, I was here crying because Gabriella had diarrhea and she was still vomiting, I'm nervous.
Again I looked at its temperature, and I almost fainted to see that my daughtet had a high fever.
"M-manang in the hospital" I said crying. I left Gabriel with his two nannies.
"Doc help, My child's fever is high" I said while crying, the doctor took Gabriella immediately.
"Mrs. Buenaventura, Your daughter needs blood. Are you a Blood Type O?" I cried even more at the doctor's demand.
I am not, I am B+.
"I-I can't doc, I'm type b+"
“Her father?” Damn! Andrei is not her biological father. Oh my Gahd!
"I-i will call him" Confusedly I called Andrei but fck he's not answering his phone.
"M-manong lend me the keys" He was surprised when I said "Please watch Gabriella first, Please" I towed the car I was driving to get to Andrei's company right away.
"Where's Andrei?" My husband's secretary looked surprised at me "Answer me" I shouted.
"He's still in the meeting Madam" I didn't say thank you and I went straight to the Conference.
"When you approve this-" The meeting stopped when I arrived.
"Continue" Andrei nodded as he read the paper.
"A-andrei"
Andrei P.O.V.
"A-andrei" I lowered the ballpen I was holding when I heard Eliana's voice.
She's here? Why?
"Why? What happened? Why do you look like that?" She looks messy, super messy hair and wrinkled clothes.
"I need your help, Help Gabriella please" I addressed my Board Members.
"Meeting dismissed, Emergency" I pulled Eliana out "What happened? What happened to Gabriella?" I'm fcking nervous.
"s-she needs a blood transfusion, if -Gabriella doesn't get a transfusion she will get Anemia and it can cause it to her death" I was stunned by what Eliana said.
No, not my princess, not my daughter …
"A-andrei, I'm begging you. Help my child. I can't lose her please" I grabbed her and wiped her tears.
"I'll do everything, Let's go" I was the one who drove the car that Eliana was with
because I didn't have a car with me.
She didn't stop to cry and worse she pushed herself in front of the hospital.
"Where's Gabriella?"
“This way sir.” The pain in my eyes and heart drew when I saw my daughter in the incubator.
"I need a Type O blood, come with me Mr. Buenaventura" I came immediately even though I wasn't sure about my blood.
Something was injected into me and I gradually lost consciousness.
I woke up feeling dizzy and I just knew I was in a private room.
"E-eliana how is Gabriella?" I asked weakly
"She's fine" I breathed a sigh of relief when Eliana replied "It's good that Gabriella was caught or she might die""I am not going to let that happen" I caress her hair and kissed her forehead.
“Did my blood match her?” I hope so.
"Y-yes" She whispered.
“H-how?” I knew it, It’s mine.I’m the father.
"I-i don't know" she just laid her head on the bed while still holding my hand.
"What happened to our daughter, Doc?"
"It is really common for Premature Babies that their hemoglobin drops but In case of Gabriella. It was a beautiful month that she was born. Because she was seven months old when she was born"We both dropped our jaws.
"Six months I'm doc when I gave birth doc" Eliana cleared.
"If you're six months pregnant when you give birth, I'm sure she'll die after you give birth to her" I knew it! "Did you get an ultrasound? Or check up sometimes?" We both shook our heads "Why? You should check up "
"I was traumatized, A few months ago doc" Doctora just nodded and left.
"I told you, Gabriella is mine" I whispered in her ear.
"How come?…" Eliana said in disbelief.
"We made it" I replied immediately scolding eliana.
"How's my daughter?"
"She's fine, Already fine. You can take her home after lunch"
"Thanks doc"
"Finally, After staying here for almost a week. My princess can go home too" I caressed her face
"W-what if. The DNA says negative?" I can sense Eliana's sadness. At last, she also agreed to take a DNA test with Gabriella.
"I know already that she's my own flesh and blood. Positive will come out of the result" I cheer her up.
