Hunter's POV (15 years old)

Me and my dad, Dr. Frederick Lozano, a well known and top reproductive endocrinologist in his generation, or simply put, a doctor helping people become and stay pregnant. We are just spending the morning eating breakfast while watching TV... our normal fun time before I go to school and before he goes to his work as well.

"Hunter?" paps uttered while looking at me with a left raised eyebrow.

"Yes paps?" I asked while sipping a cup of hot chocolate since it's winter.

"It's your 15th birthday today. Where do you want to celebrate it later?" paps asked.

"Paps! Ikaw ba 'yan? Di ka na po busy? May Project 'Hera' ka pa na inaasikaso di ba?" I jokingly asked since si dad and pinaka-head and nagha-handle ng Project "Hera".

Project "Hera", Ito 'yung pinakamalaking project ni Dad kung saan kailangan maisalba ang humanity through extensive and hollistic approach sa pregancy ng last female on Earth which is si Graciella Hernandez and making sure that she can bear girl infants as much as possible.

"You know what, hindi na kita maintindihan talaga." paps jokingly uttered.

I sighed deeply and said, "Paps, wag ka na mag-abala...  Just do your thing in saving the next generation! Maraming umaasa sayo and wag mo na ipagpalit 'yung oras mo sa pag celebrate ng birthday ko." I said and shook my head while smirking.

Actually, I don't even want to celebrate my birthday anymore... It's a curse for me to live a year older... dahil... we're living in uncertainty kung magtatagal pa ba kami or hindi na... Kung may chance pa na mabuhay kami in the next few years.

The only day that I'll celebrate... is if malaman namin na makapagsilang ng babae si Miss Graciella Hernandez.

"Paps, is it true na 'yung nasa tyan ni Miss Graciella would be twins? So may tendency na may babae naman doon no? Two is better than one, di ba?" I jokingly said.

"Malalaman natin tomorrow... since it will be Graciella's 18th week of pregancy." paps answered.

"Pero, hindi ba nakakaawa 'yun, paps? Since parang gamit na gamit na si Miss Graciella? Isa pa, bakit hindi kayo mag egg cell freezing ba tawag doon?" I asked paps.

"Wow? You know that already at 15, Hunter?" paps asked and chuckled, "We already tried a lot of means... but in the end, puro lalake pa rin ang labas. And maybe, it's because of that radiation leak that I've told you about."

"Hay... Paps, sayo ko na ipapaubaya 'yan... Ayaw ko makinig ng mga malalamin na scientific terms..." I jokingly said as soon as I finished my hot chocolate.

"Here's your allowance and your gift for today. I don't know what time ako makakauwi, Hunter, but I'll be with you through spirit if late na naman ako. Please don't be mad at me okay?" paps said as he handed me my ATM savings card.

"Thanks, paps! Hindi naman ako magagalit. Mas magagalit ako kapag hindi mo ginawa ng maayos ang trabaho mo! Mapapahiya ako sa school! Alam ng lahat na 'yung dad ko lang naman 'yung pinakamagaling na Endocrinologist sa buong mundo!" I proudly said and patted paps head gently.
