Chapter: Telling the Chaos Duo
(AUTHOR'S POV)
The morning after the chaotic car ride.
Watson mansion was peaceful.
Quiet.
Calm.
For now.
Jay was on the couch.
Cat beside her.
Keifer next to her.
Hand on her belly.
Always.
Aries and Percy were in the kitchen.
Arguing about breakfast.
As usual.
Then—
The front door burst open.
"WE'RE BACK!"
Keigan's voice.
Loud.
Excited.
Chaotic.
"WHERE IS EVERYONE?!"
Keiran followed.
Calmer.
But curious.
They had been at a friend's house.
Overnight.
Missed everything.
The news.
The fainting.
The pregnancy.
They had no idea.
Keigan ran into the living room.
Skidded to a stop.
Saw Jay on the couch.
Saw the giant cat.
Saw Keifer's hand on her belly.
Saw them smiling.
He blinked.
"What's with the cat?"
Jay grinned.
"It's my new best friend."
Keigan tilted his head.
"Okay?"
Then—
He noticed.
Something different.
Something in the air.
Something—
He pointed.
"Why is Kuya's hand on your stomach?"
Jay and Keifer exchanged glances.
Same thought.
Same smile.
Same love.
Keifer spoke.
Calm.
"We have news."
Keigan's eyes widened.
"News?"
Keiran walked closer.
"What news?"
Jay sat up.
Patting the couch beside her.
"Sit down."
They sat.
Nervous.
Excited.
Confused.
Jay looked at them.
Soft.
Warm.
"You're going to be uncles."
Silence.
Keigan blinked.
Keiran blinked.
They looked at each other.
Looked back at Jay.
Looked at her stomach.
Looked at Keifer's hand.
Looked at each other again.
Then—
Keigan's face changed.
His eyes widened.
His mouth opened.
His hands flew up.
"UNCLES?!"
"LIKE— LIKE ACTUAL UNCLES?!"
"WITH A BABY?!"
"A REAL BABY?!"
"NOT A SHUTTLECOCK BABY?!"
Jay laughed.
"Not a shuttlecock baby."
"A real baby."
"Growing inside me."
Keigan screamed.
A high-pitched scream.
Of joy.
Of shock.
Of chaos.
"KEIRAN! DID YOU HEAR?!"
Keiran nodded.
Face splitting into a grin.
"I heard."
"Uncles."
"We're going to be uncles."
Keigan grabbed him.
Shook him.
"UNCLES!"
"WE'RE GOING TO BE UNCLES!"
Keiran shook him back.
"I KNOW!"
"STOP SHAKING ME!"
"YOU'RE SHAKING ME!"
They stopped.
Stared at each other.
Then—
Hugged.
Tight.
Jumping.
Screaming.
Jay watched.
Laughing.
Keifer watched.
Smiling.
Aries and Percy ran in from the kitchen.
"What happened?!"
"Who's screaming?!"
Keigan pointed at them.
"WE'RE GOING TO BE UNCLES!"
Aries crossed his arms.
"We know."
"We were there."
"We found out first."
Keigan's face fell.
"WHAT?!"
Percy nodded.
"Yesterday."
"Mrs. Peralta told us."
"While you were gone."
Keigan grabbed his chest.
"BETRAYAL!"
"WE MISSED IT!"
Keiran sighed.
"Of course we did."
Keigan pointed at Aries and Percy.
"YOU SHOULD HAVE CALLED US!"
Aries shrugged.
"You were at your friend's house."
"We didn't want to interrupt."
Percy nodded.
"Also—"
"We forgot."
Keigan gasped.
"FORGOT?!"
"HOW DO YOU FORGET BABY NEWS?!"
Aries grinned.
"Easy."
"We have short attention spans."
Percy agreed.
"Very short."
"Shiny things."
"Squirrels."
"Food."
Keigan glared.
No power.
Keiran patted his shoulder.
"It's okay."
"We know now."
"That's what matters."
Keigan nodded.
Slowly.
"Okay."
"Okay."
He turned back to Jay.
Eyes shining.
Tears forming.
"Hipag."
Jay smiled.
Soft.
"Yes, Keigan?"
"You're really having a baby?"
"Really really?"
She nodded.
"Really really."
He ran to her.
Hugged her.
Carefully.
Gently.
Mindful of the baby.
Even though there was nothing to feel yet.
But careful.
Always careful.
"I'm so happy."
She hugged him back.
"I'm so happy too."
He pulled back.
Looked at her stomach.
Then at the cat.
"Is the cat for the baby?"
She laughed.
"No."
"The cat is for me."
He blinked.
"Oh."
"Okay."
"That's fair."
Keiran walked to Keifer.
Held out his hand.
Keifer took it.
Shook.
Then—
Keiran pulled him into a hug.
Quick.
Manly.
But warm.
"Congratulations, Kuya."
Keifer hugged back.
"Thank you, Keiran."
Keiran pulled back.
Looked at Jay.
Then at her stomach.
Then at Keifer.
"You're going to be a great dad."
Keifer smiled.
Soft.
"Thanks."
"I hope so."
Keiran nodded.
"You will."
"You had good teachers."
He looked at their parents.
Not there.
But in memory.
In love.
In them.
Keifer nodded.
"Yeah."
"Yeah we did."

The Chaos Continues
Keigan couldn't stop.
Pacing.
Talking.
Screaming.
"WE NEED TO CELEBRATE!"
"A PARTY!"
"WITH CAKE!"
"AND BALLOONS!"
"AND—"
Keiran grabbed his arm.
"Calm down."
Keigan vibrated.
"I CAN'T!"
"TOO EXCITED!"
Keiran looked at Jay.
"Help."
Jay laughed.
Waved.
"He's fine."
"Let him be excited."
Keigan pointed at her.
"SHE GETS IT!"
He ran to Aries.
"ARIES! WE'RE GOING TO BE UNCLES TOGETHER!"
Aries nodded.
"Yes."
"Scary thought."
Percy added.
"Two chaos uncles."
"Plus two more chaos uncles."
"Plus baby."
"That baby doesn't stand a chance."
Keigan gasped.
"THE BABY WILL BE SO LOVED!"
Percy nodded.
"And so traumatized."
Aries agreed.
"Best combination."
Keigan ran to Percy.
Hugged him.
Percy hugged back.
Grumbling.
But hugging.
Keigan ran to Aries.
Same thing.
Then back to Jay.
Kneeled in front of her.
Looked at her stomach.
Serious.
"Baby."
"Hello."
"This is your Uncle Keigan."
"I'm going to be your favorite."
"I'll teach you everything."
"Like—"
"How to annoy your parents."
"How to hide from Kuya Angelo."
"How to—"
Keifer interrupted.
"Keigan."
He looked up.
"Yes, Kuya?"
"Don't teach our baby how to annoy us."
Keigan blinked.
"But—"
"No."
"But—"
"Keigan."
He sighed.
"Fine."
"Only a little annoying."
Keifer stared.
Keigan smiled.
Innocent.
Too innocent.
Keifer sighed.
Rubbed his temples.
Jay laughed.
Pulled him down.
Kissed his cheek.
"Relax, hubby."
"Baby isn't here yet."
"Enjoy the chaos."
He looked at her.
At her smile.
At her joy.
At her love.
He softened.
"You're right."
She grinned.
"I know."
"Always."

The Planning
Keigan stood up.
Clapped his hands.
"OKAY!"
"PLANNING TIME!"
Keiran raised an eyebrow.
"Planning what?"
"THE BABY'S LIFE!"
"OBVIOUSLY!"
Keiran looked at Jay.
"Help."
Jay waved.
"Let him plan."
"It's cute."
Keigan grabbed a notebook.
From somewhere.
Pulled out a pen.
Sat at the table.
Serious.
"FIRST—"
"Baby name."
Aries walked over.
"Should start with J."
Percy joined.
"Like Jay."
Keigan nodded.
"Jay Junior."
Keifer spoke.
"No."
Keigan looked up.
"No?"
"No."
"But—"
"No Jay Junior."
Keigan pouted.
"Fine."
"Second choice?"
Aries raised his hand.
"Keifer Junior."
Keifer stared.
"That's worse."
Percy snorted.
"Third choice?"
Keigan thought.
"Maybe—"
"Grazel?"
Aries blinked.
"That's already taken."
Percy nodded.
"By Denzel's daughter."
Keigan deflated.
"Oh."
"Right."
Keiran patted his back.
"Maybe let the parents decide."
Keigan looked at Jay.
At Keifer.
They nodded.
"Good idea."
Keigan sighed.
"Fine."
"But I'm making a list."
"Of suggestions."
"A long list."
"They'll have to pick ONE."
Jay laughed.
"Can't wait to see it."
Keigan beamed.
"IT WILL BE GLORIOUS!"
---
The Gift Idea
Keigan suddenly gasped.
"WE NEED GIFTS!"
Keiran blinked.
"Gifts?"
"FOR THE BABY!"
"DUH!"
Keiran looked at Jay.
"Help."
Jay laughed.
"Let him gift."
"It's fun."
Keigan grabbed Aries.
"WHAT SHOULD WE GET?!"
Aries thought.
"Something useful?"
Percy shook his head.
"Something FUN."
Aries nodded.
"Something cute."
Percy agreed.
"Something chaotic."
Keigan wrote frantically.
"Useful."
"Fun."
"Cute."
"Chaotic."
"Got it."
Keiran peeked at the list.
It said:
· Useful thing
· Fun thing
· Cute thing
· Chaotic thing
· Maybe all in one???
Keiran closed his eyes.
This baby was doomed.
In the best way.

That Night – Their Room
Jay in his shirt.
Cat beside her.
Keifer holding her.
She was still smiling.
"Today was good."
He nodded.
"Good day."
"Keigan's list—"
"Ridiculous."
"Perfect."
He laughed.
"He's going to spoil this baby."
She grinned.
"So are you."
"Probably."
"Definitely."
He kissed her head.
"Guilty."
She snuggled closer.
"Love you, hubby."
"Love you too, wifey."
"And baby."
"And cat."
"And Keigan's list."
He smiled.
"And Keigan's list."
"All of it."
"Forever."
She looked up.
"Keifer?"
"Yeah?"
"We have the best family."
He nodded.
"The best."
"Chaotic."
"Loud."
"Insane."
"Perfect."
She grinned.
"Perfect."
They slept.
Happy.
Together.
Ready for more chaos.
Ready for baby.
Ready for everything.
