Greggy looking at his girlfriend, with the baby bump. He walk towards the bed where Irene is laying down.

"How are you?" He whispered, putting the bath towel around his neck while his hand rested on her stomach.

"I'm good, kayang kaya." She smile prettily.

"How about my babies?" Greggy rested his head on her stomach trying not to cry.

"We are healthy daddy, no need to worry." Irene caress his hair.

"Mahal na mahal ko kayo." He whispered, "Hindi niyo naman siguro pinapahirapan ang mommy." He asked.

"We don't. Don't worry asawa ko, kayang kaya kong dalhin silang tatlo." Irene chuckled, loving how her husband openly talking about it like the triplets on Irene's womb can understand him.

"Ikaw, kamusta ka?" Irene asked, watching him arranging his position beside her.

"Okay lang naman." Greggy answer, "Sorry ha." He suddenly said hugging her.

"For what?" She asked cluelessly.

"Dahil sa ganito, I know mga perang nabibigay ko hindi enough. Look our house is so empty right now." Greggy said.

"Okay lang, nabibigay mo naman yung dapat para sa mga bata."

"Paano yung para sa'yo." Greggy said, Irene smile "You are enough for me." She answered.

"Irene naman, being in-love isn't enough to make you alive. Ano yun mahal nga natin isa't isa, pero gutom naman tayo." He jokingly said.

Irene chuckled, "Ano ka ba hahaha! Hindi yun."

"Just kidding, I know but if you want something just tell me ha." Greggy said, Irene look at her.

"Greggy, kapag nakapag adjust na ako sa mga babies pwede na ba ako mag work?" Irene ask, "No, wag na lang asawa ko." He answered.

"Bakit? Gusto ko naman din makabawi sa mga binigay mo sa akin." She said with a pout.

"Nakabawi ka na asawa ko."

"How?" She cling like a baby even it's uncomfortable for her womb.

"Sa pag suporta at pag-aalaga sa akin at sa mga babies." He answered, his eyes can show how much he is tired and sleepy.

"Wag kang magsasawa." She whispered, it scare her a lot.

"Hinding hindi asawa ko." Greggy closes his eyes, "Whisper again how do we end up like this." He said.

It become his lullaby, Irene telling the story of their whole roller coaster ride life.

Irene smile, her one hand on his waist while the other is on her stomach. She started the story.



Their love story started when they are college. Greggy is 21 while Irene is 19.

A stack papers on Greggy's desk, "Kaya pa?" Irene ask she's freshman while Greggy is sophomore.

"Of course naman." Greggy giggle, his brain and mind is already beating because of too much pain but he can't do anything about it. "Anong oras ka nga pala uuwi?" He ask.

It's already ten in the evening, "Ngayon na sana." Irene answer knowing that their house door is already lock.

"Di pa ako tapos pero hatid na kita." Greggy grab his sweater. "Wag na, after mo na lang mag aral." Irene answer, she's use to it.

"Kaso hahanapin ka naman ni tita?" Greggy said, "Simula nung nag dorm ako pinapayagan naman na ako." Irene answered.

"You can sleep if you want ha." Greggy look at her, "I know, I know." Irene smile, she closes her eyes when Greggy stole a kiss from her lips.
