CHAPTER 28

JAMES POV
"What are you waiting for bro? Open it." I was trembling and nervous when I was holding the envelope that Michael handed to me. It contains the result of what I asked him to do. Because of his connection, it only took two days to get results.
He's just laughing at me. "You look nervous, relax bro. Open it now." He told me again. When I still did not speak.
"I'm nervous bro." I even laughed at what I said. Yes, I really felt nervous.
"Oh, come on bro! Is that really you? Wow! For the first time bro I just heard and saw you like that. Is that really you? It's unbelievable! It really surprised me, bro. Wow." He added that he could not believe it, and his still laughing at me.
So I slowly took the paper inside and looked at it. Although I was trembling, my eyes suddenly watered because of what I saw. I wanted to shout but I couldn't, I was so happy. I still laughed with so much happiness.
"Bro its positive look bro, Woh.. Positive bro! Positive! Yes!" I couldn't stop screaming at the feeling I was feeling right now, I couldn't explain it. I wanted to cry, I wanted to laugh, I wanted to shout, I was so happy that's all I know.
"So, what's your plan now? Now that you know the truth. Will, are you going to tell her?" He asked me.
"I don't know yet bro." I'm still confused as I said.
I still don't really know if I'm going to tell her what I found out. Maybe later.
"It would be better if you tell that right away bro. She also has the right to know the truth. And you, you're right. Bro, your child needs to know who you really are in his life. Do you not want that, to develop the child's personality? I'm sure bro that he is also looking for his father. He also dreams of meeting him. This is your chance bro, introduce yourself to him as his father."  Michael is trying to convince me.
The truth is I really don't know how to start it, I thought it was just as easy as that before, but I was wrong. If I used to be eager to find out the truth but now I know, I am confused again.
I just gasped. "I hope it's easy as that bro, but what if they don't want to accept me, my son? What if she takes my son away from me? What if they avoid me? What if--"
"How will you know if you don't tell her?" He cuts off what I have to say.
"Bro relax, just do your part just like that. Tell them the truth, before you were so eager to find the truth, and now you already know why are you backing away? Now you know you have also rights for him?" He added as he laughed.
"Thanks bro, yeah you are right." I said to him,
"I Need to talk to her about this." I said more. I was nervous, like I was a teenager who would go for a girl to court for the first time. It's like I'm going to pass in front of my crush. 'Tsk what the f*ck! I just walk inside my office.'
"What the f*ck bro! I'm dizzy! What are  you doing! I thought you were ok? Have you made a decision? You still have nothing to do with your actions." I heard him complain about my actions.
I just scratched my back. 
"Ok I have to go, so you can think well. Good luck bro, I'm happy for you. Congrats daddy." He stood up and shook my hand and tapped on my shoulder before he left.
"Thanks bro." As I told him.
I was left confused. It takes time before I make a decision.
"Charry, please tell Miss Alcantara to come here to my office right now." I told my secretary through entercom.
"Kuya, Miss Alcantara didn't come for work today, according to Mrs. Ramos. There's an emergency." Later on Charry told me.
"What?! What happened? Why didn't she come in? What emergency? Did something happen to her? Or to my son? What? Tell me Charry, what?!" I suddenly felt scared and confused, my nervousness suddenly ran high.
The strength of my heartbeat. 'What if something happened to my son. I will never forgive myself.'
Without hesitation I left the office.
I will go to her friends, I know they know the reason why.
"Charry cancelled all my appointments for today." I ordered her, she was even speechless and wondering but she just nodded at me. I quickly got inside the elevator.
"MIKE!" I called Mike when I entered their office. They were surprised and shocked by my sudden arrival as well as Mike. He stood up suddenly and quickly approached me.
"Yes Kuya, what happened? Why in a hurry? Why did it suddenly appear?" He's still shocked and confused while asking me.
"Where's Shakeera?" He even seemed surprised by my question. But that was only for a moment.
"Oh, why are you looking for her huh?" He just says instead of answering my question. 
"Just answer my question Mike! D*mn it! Where is she?" He was even more surprised when I shouted at him, even the other employees inside. They seemed scared, and they were surprised too.
"I don't know what happened but she is in the hospital now." He said in confusion.
"Hospital?! Why?" I'm worried and I really felt nervous too.
"Who was hospitalized?" I said more. I can't explain my feelings right now.
"Sir, Miss Alcantara's son was rushed to the hospital this morning because he had a fever according to her." Said one of her girl friends.
"Holy sh*t!" I can't control myself but to curse.
"Which hospital?" I asked her and she told me the name of the hospital. It was as if heaven and earth was covering me with what I found out. My child. So I wasted no time. I quickly left that office as well. Her co-workers were still stunned and shocked.
Especially her friends.
'Shawn my son, please hold on, baby daddy is coming.'
I said to myself. The strength of my nervousness, it was as if my chest would explode with its force. I quickly reached such a hospital. I immediately asked for my son's room. I ran to the elevator.
I immediately went into the room where my son was. But my eyes widened in shock when I saw there's many children inside the room. I immediately roamed my eyes around, then I saw her.
She was looking at me, and her face was full of wonder and surprise. I immediately approached her. 
"How is he? What happened to him?"
It was as if my heart was broken when I saw my son. He was there lying on the bed. There was a plug of dextrose tube in his small hand.
Suddenly my tears flowed again. It was as if a sharp knife had pierced my heart. I took his little hand and kissed it.
"Shawn I'm here, daddy is here. I will never leave you, I will watch over you. You'll be ok son. Daddy loves you very much. I love you son." I whispered to my son. But it was enough for her mother to hear that.
"Sir James?" Surprisingly and confused she called to me, she even turned pale.
"W-What a-are you saying?" She asked me again like it's hard for her to speak. But I did not answer her.
"I will transfer him to a private room, I can't let him stay here. He may be infected with another disease. I will go to talk to his doctor."
I have turned my back on it. She's still  standing speechless, and was still shocked. And obviously confused by the circumstances.
