Agreed
When I came out, I was greeted by a smiling Magnus.
“They agreed.” His smile reached his shining eyes.
He wrapped his arms around my waist as he pulled me closer. I rested my arms around his neck.
My lips curved into a grin. “Of course they did. You’re Magnus Morrison. Who wouldn’t agree with what you want?”
“There is one.”
My brows raised. “Who else?”
“Maria Celiza Carosca,” he whispered.
My lips protruded. “When? I agreed! You’re the one who doesn’t like what I’m doing.”
“From what I remember, I’m the one who always agreed on what you want, baby.”
“Example of that?”
“You want me to help you on the exam, I did. You want to teach me how to kiss and pleasure you, I agreed.”
“Until now baby, I’ll always agree with you.”

“To Magnus!”
My brow raised when Bliss cheerfully greeted him when we entered her hospital room. It was even more exciting to see Magnus than his sister! I didn’t even notice!
Magnus rushed to her and hugged her.
I kept looking at the two. How did you meet Bliss magnus? They haven’t even met, just now the first one!
I parted Bliss’s hair to block her face as she parted from the hug, I frowned and turned to Magnus.
“I don’t need to introduce you anymore. But how did he meet you?”
“Maybe she heard my name somewhere.” Magnus shrugged his shoulders and gave the toys he brought her.
Bliss immediately took it as if she had waited a long time. That’s the type Magnus promised him.
“Thank you Kuya Magnus!” she said. Her eyes are shining in joy.
My eyes shifted to Magnus who nodded and winked at her. I don’t know why I feel like these two have already met when I don’t know.
“How are you here Bliss? Are the nurses kind?”
She nodded. “Pwera don sa isa na crush si Kuya Magnus. Because I told her Kuya has a girlfriend and it’s my big sis Celi!”
I chuckled at her cute proud face.
“What did she say?”
“Then wow,” she said innocently.
Magnus and I burst out laughing.
We laughed for almost an hour at Bliss’s stories. Nor did it separate Magnus and me. His little hand was wrapped around both of Magnus and me’s arms.
“I’ll leave you too for a minute. I’ll just find Bliss’s doctor.”
He nodded and continued playing with Bliss. Magnus is so fond and caring with her. As I stared at them earlier, I couldn’t get my mind off how good it was for him to be a father.
A little Magnus …
My hands reached my tummy. I giggled at the thought. If I hadn’t eaten sour yesterday at lunch, I would have thought that little Magnus was already in my house. Just in case not, because the food is hot, it’s good and I didn’t eat much.
While I was waiting for the woman to return to the front desk of the hospital, my forehead furrowed as I quickly entered the call on the hospital bed by pushing. My gaze followed where they turned. My brows furrowed when the person laying in the keme seemed familiar. It happened so fast that it was not confirmed who it was. Bliss’s doctor also came so I didn’t pay attention yet. According to him, Bliss is in good condition, she can go home tomorrow.
While back in Bliss’s room I was stopped in a room. Standing outside it was a man walking back and forth. I stepped closer to get a closer view of his familiar built from afar.
“Toci?”
His eyes widened when our eyes met. The dark circles around his eyes are visible and his hair is a little messy. He looks distraught.
Why is he here? The room he was standing in was not far from Bliss’s room. Is he here to visit? Oh he was hesitant to go in there because he knew Magnus was inside?
My eyes widened as he hugged me. I was about to push him away when his shoulders started to shake. He weakened my arms. I support it.
He cried on my back.
“W-what happened Toci? You can visit Bliss—-“
He shook his head then pulled away.
He wiped away the tears and then smiled bitterly. “I’m sorry Celiza. I got carried away… there’s… there’s no one here.”
My forehead furrowed at what it said. I had the courage to peek into the room where he had stood earlier.
My chest tightened when my eyes landed on the hospital bed.
“What happened to Tito?”
“Heart attack, Mom and him are arguing in the study, then Mom left and I found him out of air so I rushed him here.”
I reached for Toci’s hand and gently squeezed it. I smiled slightly. “Don’t worry Toci, Tito will get through this. I hope he will get better.”
He held my hands. “Thank you, Celiza.”
Before I could recover the hand his gaze remained there.
“You’re engaged.”
I nodded and smiled slightly.
“It’s him, isn’t it?”
“Y-yes.”
“Did his family agree to it?”
I just kept looking at him.
“They won’t accept you Celiza, especially his mother, she will make your life a living hell. And what about Aira? He’s engaged to her!”
“Long story Toci. But I can assure you that I’ve gone through different kinds of problems and pain. There’s nothing that could hurt me now except for losing him.”
“I know this is not the right time Celiza but if he hurt you or his family I’m still here if you need——”
“I’m here, she won’t need you.” Said Magnus who appeared in my locker room, he pulled my waist closer to his. Toci looked down there. He freed my hands and smiled bitterly.
“Then, Congrats.”
He entered the room and closed it.
“What is that man doing here?”
“Hey, calm down.” I said and caressed his chest.
“Tito had a heart attack so he rushed here. He’s all alone. Looks like Tita doesn’t know yet.” I explained.
“But he said ——-“
“He saw my ring.”
His jaw clenched. “And he still manages to offer himself——”
I rested my hands on his chest, trying to calm him.
“He’s just hopeful Magnus.”
“Hopeful for nothing. You won’t need him ‘cause I’m here. No matter what happens you won’t need him. He had you once, its his fault you slipped away.” He said.
“Probably the best fault he ever had.”
My eyes remained on him. A smile tugged on my lips.
He cupped my cheeks. “The fault that made you mine.”
