I woke up to Catalina peacefully sleeping beside me. I checked the clock on our bedside and it was already 7:30. 

I am aware that both of us are already late for work, but I didn't want to leave her alone after what happened last night. 

After I saw her breaking down last night, all the anger I felt just turned into concern as I saw her small figure, sobbing in front of her office door. She slowly turned around and opened her eyes. "Good morning," I greeted her.

 "Mhmm, good morning," she replied, turning to other side to check on the clock beside her.

 "Ohmygosh, it's already 7:30!" She said and tried to stand up but I pulled her wrist down. 

"Cat, I think you should take a break," I said. I was concerned about her well-being. 

"I have to work, bubs. What would the board think? I'm slacking off since my dad's the chairman?" She replied.

 I knew she was stubborn, she always wanted to do things efficiently, one of the things I admire about her. 

"Bubs, I insist. After what happened last night?" I replied, and she just looked at me. "I'll take the day off also today, why don't we relax and bond with Luna before her school starts?"

 I offered, to make her feel better. "Ok fine, I'll tell Rachel that I won't be coming today," she said in defeat.

"Now, can we stay in for a bit and cuddle?" He asked, obviously shy. "Big baby," I replied, as he engulfed me in his huge arms.

 I could feel his breath on the crook of my neck, as he said something. "Baby," He called. "Hmmm?" I responded. 

"I sort of have a favor to ask, Well actually it's Luna and I's request," He said, as he caressed my hair. "Hmm. What is it?" I replied. 

"Can we possibly try for baby number two?" I heard him say with a shy expression on his face. My body immediately stiffened when he said that. I was silent and didn't know to react. 

"Hey, hey, are you alright, I'm not gonna pressure you okay? If you don't want to do it, it's fine with me," He added.

 "I'll think about it, bubs," I replied with a smile and kissed his cheek. After our mini cuddle session, we finally decided to get out of bed.

 I made us a simple breakfast and woke up Luna. "Should we go get Luna's school supplies today?" Yukhei said, sipping his coffee. 

"Luna, what do you think?" I asked her. "That sounds good mommy," She replied.

After breakfast, we got dressed to go to the mall. I was wearing a blouse and some jeans with my sneakers. I wore my jewelry and brushed my hair. I saw him getting out of the closet and WOW. Just wow. 

It has been a while since I saw him in a casual outfit, and I forgot how good he looks in it. "Staring is rude," He said. "Pssh, you wish," I replied with a chuckled.

 "You look great bubs," He said as he stood behind me. "Thank you, you look good as well," I replied. 

I stood up from the vanity and took my bag, and made sure that I had everything I needed. "Babe." I heard him call. I turned around and looked at him. 

"Hmm, what is it?" I asked. 

"I love you," He said with a gummy smile. "You're too cute you know, you dork," I said as I chuckled. 

I walked towards him and gave him a kiss on the top of his nose. "I love you too," I said. "Now, let's go,

" I said and left the room first. Luna was already dressed up and waiting for us in her room. "Let's go, baby," I said and held Luna's hand.

 We went down the stairs and went to the front door and Yukhei was there standing waiting for us. 

"Hi Daddy," Luna greeted her father. "Hi princess you look good today," He replied, as he opened the backseat door of the car. 

He strapped Luna in and placed her backpack beside her. He also opened the door for me and I got in the car.

We eventually arrive at the shopping center, and we went straight to the school supplies area. After a good twenty minutes, we were able to find everything Luna needed for school. 

"Mommy," Luna called me. 

Yukhei was carrying her as we walked around the store. "Yes love what is it?" I answered. "Can you make me mac and cheese with eggsicles?" Luna said. 

"Yeah, sure my love. I'll do it once we get home okay?" I replied. "What on earth are eggsicles, babe?" I heard him ask. 

I just chuckled and answered him. "Oh, it's a snack I make for her since she was a baby, it's her favorite," I said. 

"Can't you make some for me too?" He shyly asked. "Alright, I'll make food for my babies," I said as we walked towards the cashier.

We were already in line to pay when I realized that I forgot we are out of macaroni. I asked him to wait at the counter as I ran to the food section, looking for macaroni. 

As I was on my way back, I noticed someone really familiar in the feminine products aisle. I took a step back and it was Fallon.

 Why is she looking at pregnancy tests? She looked unwell, as she shakily reached her hand out to take one from the shelf. 

I walked towards her. "Fallon, what on earth are you doing with those?" I said. She gasped and turned around.. "Jie, I didn't know you were here," She replied, shakily. "Oh my gosh, don't tell me-" 

"No no, I'm just getting these for a friend," She quickly cut me off. 

"Well then, if that's the case I'll let you be then," I said, since I didn't want to pressure her into telling me. Time would eventually come and she would open up to me. 

 "I'll call you Jie!" She said as she walked away. I just gave her a nod and went to Yukhei and Luna who were in line.

"Hey, what took you so long?" Yukhei asked. "Oh, I saw Fallon." I replied, and he just replied with a simple "Oh" as if he already knew that I was chatting with Fallon a while ago.

"Mrs. Wong, long time no see,"
