SANDY: I know this sounds selfish but please, Lord, wag sana si Peter.
Medyo nagpapanic man, nakisiksik na si Sandy sa pintuan ng emergency room to see who the patient is. Maingay doon dahil na rin sa pagcocover ng media sa aksidente. She let out a sigh of relief when she found out that it wasn't Peter.
PETER: Hey there, doc.
Sandy looked back and immediately hugged her husband. She looked at him from head to toe.
PETER: Shall we go home now?
SANDY: No, we need to have you checked.
PETER: Dra. Jackstone, kanina pa po ako nandito and look at me, they cleaned my wounds na. And I'm good to go.
SANDY: Nagpacheck ka?
PETER: Love, (touches Sandy's cheek) wag praning. Minor injuries lang talaga. This is my body, I know what I'm feeling. I asked for pain killers since medyo mahapdi itong mga sugat. Other than that, I'm perfectly fine.
SANDY: I'm just worried about you.
PETER: I understand.
SANDY: Sorry, love.
PETER: It's okay. Now, your shift is over na di ba?
SANDY: Yes. In five minutes.
PETER: Sige. Let's go to your office so you could fix your stuff and nang makauwi na tayo. Karl's waiting for us.
As the couple were walking back to Sandy's office, nakasalubong nila si Dr. Mariel Padilla. She got excited to see Peter.
MARIEL: Hi Peter!
PETER: Hi, Mariel (beso) Kamusta?
MARIEL: I'm good. Ikaw? Sorry about the accident. Nakapagpacheck ka na?
PETER: Okay lang. Just a few scratches and bruises. Pero I'm fine. (smiles)
MARIEL: Uy! By the way, congrats!
Pinandilatan ng mata ni Sandy si Mariel pero mukhang hindi naman ito napansin at di rin naman alam ni Peter ang ibig sabihin nun.
PETER: Thanks! I wasn't expecting to win that race to be honest.
MARIEL: Ah, oo. Ano, napanood namin nung nakaraan yung race mo.. Ang galing mo talaga!
PETER: A couple of weeks ago na yun ah? Anyway, thank you.
Nagpaalam na sila sa kaibigan. Pagpasok sa opisina ay natawa nalang si Peter.
PETER: Akala ko kung bakit ganun kaexcited si Mariel. Icocongratulate lang pala ako doon sa race.
SANDY: Well, kilala mo naman yun. She gets excited over the little things.
After a few hours, they were already home and are currently having their dinner. Sandy tasted something odd in her food so she stood up and rushed to the bathroom. Pagkabalik nya, Peter looked worried while their yaya looked scared.
YAYA: Ma'am, may mali po ba sa pagkain?
SANDY: Yaya, don't worry. Masarap yung food. Maybe yung beef lang yung may problem.
PETER: Huh? The beef tastes good naman. Is there something wrong?
KARL: Is Mama okay?
SANDY: Mama's okay, baby. Love, I want to tell you something.
PETER: What is it, love?
SANDY: Remember Mariel's excitement when she congratulated you?
PETER: Yes. Why?
SANDY: She wasn't really talking about the race. She thought I already told you... I'm... I'm pregnant.
Peter's worried look slowly turned to a happy one. He stood up and immediately hugged his wife.
SANDY: Hala. Huy bakit ka umiiyak?
PETER: Nothing. I'm just happy. Super happy.
SANDY: (laughs) Ang weird mo today, love. When we had Karl, di ka naman umiyak ng ganyan. Para ka tuloy first time na magkakaanak.
KARL: What are you talking about?
PETER: You will have a baby sister soon, baby.
SANDY: Love, we don't know the gender yet.
PETER: Babae yan. I'm claiming it now.
KARL: Where's my baby sister?
SANDY: The baby is still inside mama's tummy.
KARL: Why is she there? I want to see her! (nanlaki ang mata) Mama did you eat her??
PETER: (laughs)
SANDY: No, baby. For now, she will be in mama's tummy muna so I could take care of her. She needs to get a little bigger and stronger before she comes out.
It was a fun day overall. They played with Karl and after dinner, they watched some movies as a family. And it was nighttime, natutulog na si Sandy nang magising sa sunod-sunod na pag-ubo ni Peter. Narinig din nya itong nag-grunt.
PETER: Love... (ubo)
