Valentine's Day (part 3)

The Gomez family spent a great afternoon at home, engaging in some weekend bonding activities such as board games, water gun fights, and concluding with a movie marathon inside their parents' bedroom.

"Oh ano kids, tara na?" Richard remarked, still reclining against the headboard next to his wife.

All four of their children nodded in response, then swiftly stood, exited the room, and made their way back to their respective rooms to get dressed.

"Gomz, where are we going?" Dawn abruptly inquired of her husband.

"Dinner," he merely grinned at his wife, then moved cautiously towards her, their twins snoozing between them, "Shower na tayo, love?"

Dawn chuckles softly after she hears Richard then delicately pinches his nose, "ayaw ko, you made me cry kanina," she murmurs.

"Bakit ka naman kasi umiyak, love, miss mo ba ako?"

"Syempre noh! I had expected to spend the day with you and our kids, but you all left me at home, and none of you have greeted me yet."

"Oh, bawi naman naman na kami ngayon ah," he grinned, wiggled his brows, making his wife laugh significantly, "and also ang cute mo kaya kausap kanina sa phone, mahal ko. Gusto mo talaga akong puntahan, mahal na mahal mo ako?"

"Hindi ba dapat?" she questioned, her left brow furrowed, "Fine, madali naman ako ka—"

Richard snatched Dawn off the bed before she could complete her sentence. She merely ends up giggling and wrapping her arms around her husband's neck.

"Ang kulit mo, hindi pwede!" she exclaimed, pinching his nose, "Baka magising yung twins, hahanapin tayo. You stay here, babe."

"Bibilisan naman natin, love," Richard didn't waste any time when closing the gap between them.

The Gomez's had arrived earlier that evening there at the venue where Richard and his children had secured for them all to spend the entire weekend. As soon as they got out of the van, the youngsters started tugging their mama along with them, leaving Richard to manage the twins.

"Kids, calm down, why are you all so excited?" Dawn remarked, chuckling.

"This is going to be a long night Ma, so we'd better get started early," Sofia said, widening her smile.

"Okay! Okay!" Dawn laughed before turning back to Richard and said, "Papa, quicker daw!" She grinned as she observed they were a few meters ahead of him.

Whilst dealing with the twins, Richard advised his wife, "Sige na, go ahead. Naka sunod kami sa inyo."

He had been carrying twins in his arms, yet their baby boy insisted on being put down so he could stroll by himself—as if.

Meanwhile, Dawn could let her children drag her along because they were barely a few steps away and she could clearly see how the area had been arranged.

"Omg, did you honestly prepare for all of this?" she questioned, tears welling up in her eyes."Yup, including Papa po, don't forget," Hope replied with a goofy grin.

"Thank you so much for this," she said as she gathered the children into a warm embrace."Don't thank us yet, Mama," Paul said thoughtfully.

Dawn and her children worked their way towards the table in the center, wherein rose petals were strewn everywhere. She additionally observed several photographs of their family displayed around the place.

Whilst Dawn enjoyed appreciating the setting and her children's efforts, Richard appeared, cradling their baby girl with his right arm as well as their baby boy in his left, who had been making cute steps and carrying a bouquet. It must have been extremely large for him, yet he managed to hold it with his adorable hands.
