-Darren's POV-

"Let's take the twins somewhere." I tell Bella. I turned around to see her... tulala.

Anong nangyari dito?!

"Baaabe." I hugged her from behind. I know she's the type who won't admit when she has problems, but it's worth a try.

"I don't wanna lose you." She mumbled.

"Huh?" I furrowed my eyebrows. "You won't. Lagi naman akong nandito para sayo eh, for the twins... our dream, remember?"

"Yeah but Darren..." she sighed. "Nevermind..."

"Isabella Leigh. Diretsuhin mo na ko please, what's the problem?"

"Nothing." She shook her head. Something's bothering her, I just know it.

"If you don't wanna tell me then that's fine. I can wait til you open up." I kissed her forehead before heading back to the kitchen.

I have a huge feeling that this isn't just any other problem. These past few days she's been like that, but not like today. Today, parang wala siyang ganang mabuhay, and that scares me.

"Where are the twins?" I ask, but instead of replying, the sound of her sobs rang through the room. It was silent, somewhat keeping it away from me.

I took a deep breath before sitting beside her. "Bel, tell me what's wrong."

She just shook her head and wiped her tears away.

"Is it the people on Instagram again?" I asked one more time, hoping that was it.

"No." She shook her head again.

"I'm getting worried about you, Bella. You need some time off." I kissed her again and then headed to the bathroom.

----------

"Let's go?" I tell her. She's carrying Gavin while I'm carrying Elijah.

"Um, definitely... yeah!" She nervously replies.

Hinayaan ko nalang, cause if I ask her, malamang she wouldn't tell me.

"Where do you wanna go?" I ask Bella, but she just shrugged, staring out the window like a depressed person.

"Ikaw bahala." is all she said before we drove off.

-------

"Luneta!" I smiled, my arms out wide. I turned around to see Bella finally smiling and back to her old self again. "Beautiful, isn't it?"

She just grinned as she nods rapidly, taking photos of me and Elijah.

I'm glad she's back :)

"Wait!" She tells me before I run off with Elijah. "Selfieeee!"

I kissed her on the lips as she took the photo. Aaaawh.

"We're picture perfect, sweet like candy xx my perfect family :) @darrenespanto1" she posted.

Comments instantly started to pour out.

"Congratulatioooons! Such adorable children :)"

"Congrats omg alala ko pa nung magkamu palang kayo and now thiiiis."

"Nabagita yung malandi o hahahahaha! Mom at 21."

"Congrats on the babies xoxo"

"Ang babata niyo pa. Tsk tsk tsk."

"Bella's such a slut hahaha!"

"Congrats guys! Don't mind the haters, God's watching em."

"Aaaw congrats!"
