2 weeks old na si Thirdy. Mas sumaya ang bahay dahil meron ng baby. Palagi akong nagigising sa madaling araw kasi umiiyak si Thirdy,nagugutom. Nag bre-breastfeeding ako mas healthy kasi yun. Mga 3-4am nagpapadede ako kay Thirdy si Rj naman ayaw bumalik sa tulog kasi daw gusto niya if gising ako gising din siya.

I can see Rj's car parked from the window. Nasa kwarto ako and I'm carrying Thirdy.

"Daddy is here na! Oh,so gwapo naman baby oh."

The door opened and it was him. He kissed my forehead and wash his hands with alcohol. He was about to get Thirdy from me pero I stepped back.

"Hindi ko ibibigay si Thirdy hangga't ganyan ka. I don't like that face Rj." I seriously told him.

"Wala to."

"Tell me,bakit? What happend?"

He sat on the side of the bed. I put Thirdy in his crib and stand in front of him

"May problema ba sa work?"

"Nakakainis kasi e." He sound pissed off , galit din mukha niya

"Makikinig ako." I went closer to him and brush his hair

"Dumaan kasi ako sa Conchas,at may gagong lalake na ang lakas ng loob pumunta sa teritorya ko."

"Tapos?" I asked softly

"Papunta punta siya sa teritoryo ko tapos pagsasabihan ang asawa ko ng masasama na salita?" Nakakatakot siya magalit pero ang sweet niya.

"Hindi ko na aalamin pa yung sinabi niya,okay na love,wag nalang papasukin sa Conchas." I told him

"Abay dapat lang! Pinadikit ko na nga sa labas ang mukha niya e!" I don't know pero natawa ako

I slowly touch his face and lowered my body

"You did that?"

"Of course!" He let me sit on his lap. He wrap his hands in my waist,I leaned on his chest

"Don't be mad na. Okay na yun"

He didn't say a word "Huy." I stand up and faced him

"Alam mo ba asan siya?" he said

"Ha? yung lalake ba? bakit asan?"

"Nasa Conchas." He said and held my arms

"Ha? Akala ko-"

"His washing dishes." He said and pulled me closed

"Hala! Napakasama mo!"

"Bahala siya diyan. Babetime muna?"

"Huy! Andiyan si Thirdy."

"Lipat natin sa ibang kwarto."

"Richard!"

Ang bilis ng panahon,may Celestine and Athena na kami.Yup,twins sila. Nasundan agad si Thirdy dahil gumagapang ako kay Maine sa madaling araw. Tisoy at Tisay sila nagmana sakin,Maine told me na gusto niya pa ng isang anak kasi baka yun makuha na kutis niya. Ang ganda kaya ng kutis ni Maine super kinis.

Maine and I decided to leave showbiz and nagtayo ulit ng dalawang branch ng Conchas,pangalan ni Maine yung isa while yung isa nakapangalan kay Thirdy. Maine started her youtube channel and it's okay for me,hindi naman siya everyday nagv-vlog okay na rin yun para sa fans who supported us all throughout.

We are celebrating Thirdy's 4th birthday here in Boracay,Maine's choice. Karga ko si Thirdy while siya karga niya sa Athena. Celestine is silently sleeping in her stroller.

"Happy birthday Thirdy!"

"Happy birthday big boy!" sabay naming hinalikan ni Maine si Thirdy as he blow his candle.

"Happy birthday Thirdy,I love you." Maine said and Thirdy kissed his Mom

"Thank you Mama I love you too."

After the party we all went back to our rooms. Thirdy was busy opening his birthday gifts. I an combing Celestine's hair kasi bago lang siya pinaliguan ni Maine.

"Love!" Maine shouted and that means kukunin ko na si Athena sa kanya kasi tapos na siyang magpaligo.

"Call Thirdy please." my wife said

"Kuya,go to Mama na" I told Thirdy while putting powder in Athena's back.

3 minutes after, Maine shouted again

"Love! Asan na si Thirdy!" Lumabas siya ng comfort room at pumunta samin.

"Thirdy later na,we need to clean you up,come on up na." Maine said

"Mama, I'm sleepy already"

"Kaya nga. Bath muna tayo then you can sleep na." Tumayo si Thirdy and hugged Maine tight.

"Ako nalang mag gawa ng milk nila Love" I told Maine who is inside the comfort room.

"Okay sterilized na yan,it's already 8pm patulugin mo na sila wag na mag Ipad."

"Yes Ma!" I said

9:45pm and nakatulog na ang tatlo. Maine was taking her bath while I'm cleaning the room.

"Rj para san yan?" Maine asked whike drying her hair.

"Hmm. Wala kang idea?"

"Ha,wala,gabi na iinum ka ba ng wine?"

"It's for us. I prepared this, labas tayo date night gaya dati."

I saw her wiping her tears in front of the mirror. I am now back hugging her.

"Why are you crying? pagod ka ba? Let's sleep nalang,"

"No. I will never be tired Rj,as long as you're with me hindi ako mapapagod." she said and now we are staring at each other in the mirro

Tears escaped in my eyes. "Why are you crying?"

"Kasi naisip mo to,naisip mo pang magdate tayo kahit napakabust na natin. Nothing changed ganun ka pa rin gaya ng dati."

"Ikaw din naman. You always give me anniversary gifts kahit love mo lang sapat na."

"I'm so lucky to have you Richard"

"We are both lucky to have each other,Meng,we deserve this."
