"okay, you'll be staying here for a while. You'll need to gained your health before you leave the country. No one knew about this property of mine, so you're safe here."
Jake speak casually to Maria while holding one of the twin.
He's been carrying the baby boy since they left the hospital. While Maria was carrying the baby girl.
Its been a month and a half before they could leave the hospital. Maria was in a comma for a month then she was been examined and observed for half month.
Jake never lost his patience. He waited patiently for Maria to open her eyes, he sometimes went to her children and talked to them.
By that span of time, Jake felt his feelings for Maria blossomed even more! From a simple crush to unconditional love!
He knew that it was wronged to love her, but he can't stopped himself from it! He just found one day that he's day won't be completed if he can't see Maria's face and the twin's!
"thank you very much Jake, I didn't knew that you will be the one who can helped us. I'm so grateful to have a friend like you."
Maria said seriously and she looked at him thankfully.
But Jake's heart was being smashed when he heard her telling him that he was her FRIEND!
Jake covered his dismayed face by laughing gently.
"you don't have to say that, I just did it. Anyone will surely do it also if they saw you in that state."
"but still, thanks for taking care of us, especially my babies when I was asleep."
Jake plastered a permanent smile on his face to cover his true feelings.
"enough with that, let's go to yours and the twin's room."
Jake walked towards Maria's bedroom, she insisted to share the room with her babies. So she can watched them closely.
When she entered the room, she was shocked to see the interior! It was painted with spongebob characters, super heroes and princess characters!
Jake did it?!
She felt her heart moved by that gesture. She doesn't knew Jake could be so sweet and thoughtful.
"you don't have to do this Jake, making us live here was too much."
She said as a matter of fact. Maria remembered Tobias also did this.
She became gloomy and looked away miserably. Maria knew deep inside her heart that she had secretly desired that Tobias will find her.
But, no. She was been in comma for a month and been recovering for half a month but she never seen Tobias! Did he really forgot them? Or, did he really not love her anymore?
Did he really love her?!
What about their babies?!
Jake saw Maria's miserable state. She doesn't realized that she was already crying on front of him. He knew exactly who was the reasoned behind that tears.
He felt his heart tightened by that. Jake let Maria cried for a while before he come and comfort her. He was irritated and angry towards his idiot best friend!
'damn you Tobias!'
Jake thought harshly.
"hey, stop that. You shouldn't be like that, your babies would feel it too."
He tried to comfort her, he walked towards the blue colored crib and put the sleeping baby boy.
"Tasha and Thaniel would be sad too. Do you want that?"
He watched as Maria wiped her tears and looked lovingly at the baby girl she's been carrying.
"I'm sorry bout that, was Thaniel fell asleep again?"
She quickly changed the topic and smiled at him warmly. Her eyes shone every time she thinks about her babies.
"yeah, you knew him, always the sleepy head."
Jake laughed gently and watched the sleeping Thaniel.
"you should placed Tasha on her crib too. So, she can sleep too."
"this cute little angel was full of energy. Hahaha would you mind carrying her for a while? I'll just need to go to the bathroom."
Maria said happily and gave him the wriggling baby girl.
Jake stared intently to the baby he was holding. He was praying for an impossible thing right now! He prayed and wished that he can be the twin's father!
Real father!
He was very engrossed on what he was thinking when his phone rang. He quickly put Tasha on her pink colored crib and walked out the door when he saw Maria stepped out from the bathroom.
"hey man, why'd you call?"
Jake covered his disappointment by greeting him happily.
"I need your help."
"what help?"
"I need to make sure that Charlotte's baby was mine. I told her that we do a test but she refused and reacted miserable. I want you to help me do the test without her knowing."
Tobias speak pleadingly to him.
Jake grip the phone hard and controlled his emotions.
"why were you doubting Charlotte?"
"we both knew that she cheated on me many times. Please, you're the only person I can think that can helped me. Please bro?"
Tobias was begging to him.
Jake hesitated for a while but gave in afterwards. As the heir of the hospital, he had an access to all transactions the hospital had. So, he can't blame Tobias that he decided to seek for his help.
Jake bid goodbye to Maria and told her that he will be back tomorrow morning to visit them. Then he drove his car towards the direction of their hospital.
