Back at home...
Once they arrived home, Halley and Abbey went straight to their room to take a shower.
Meanwhile, Vince grabbed some fresh new towels for Tricia and Adan after their paddling in the rain.
"Thank you, Vince," Tricia said when she felt Vince wrapped her in a towel.
"You should take a shower too," he told her while wiping their son, Adan.
"Later na ako, si Adan muna—"
"Ako na lang sa kanya, Tricia."
"No, ako na, Vince."
"Okay, sige. Call me when you need me na lang, ha?" Vince said and didn't want to keep them long.
"Sure, don't stay here, you take your shower too. Baka lagnatin ka na naman."
"Hihintayin kita diba."
"Vince!"
"Just kidding, 'lika na nga," Vince suddenly swept Adan's feet off the ground, "I'll help your mama to bathe you."
"You will bathe me, papa ice cream?" Adan wrapped his arms around his papa's neck.
Tricia was about to protest when Vince did not let her as he quickly pulled her inside the bathroom with their son.
Once they were inside, Vince gently put him down then prepares the bathtub. He made sure that the temperature would be warm, not too cold nor not too hot.
"Wait, I'll just go prepare his clothes. Ikaw na lang Vince bahala dito?"
"No, mama, stay here po," Adan tugged in her arms as he pleaded.
"Nandito naman si papa mo."
"Tricia, I need you here."
"You can bathe him yourself, hindi na—"
Vince cut her off and didn't let her finish her sentence, "sige na, stay here with us. Tuturuan mo pa ako how to bathe him."
"Psh! Nag volunteer ka tapos hindi ka pala marunong," Tricia giggles.
"Oh, kaya nga nandito ka, right?" Vince abruptly swept their feet off the ground, "let's go!" He exclaimed then quickly submerged themselves in the tub.
Good thing it was large enough to fit four people inside, almost a quarter of the actual size of a pool.
------------------------------------------------------
"I like this one, papa ice cream!" Adan said as he pointed to the nightwear he chose.
Vince traced the direction with his eyes then grabbed the pajamas himself, "okay, let's get you dressed."
Not long after when Vince has successfully done his job and the next thing he does was to put on some clothes too.
"Papa ice cream, are you going to sleep with mama again?"
He abruptly glanced at his son, shook his head then chuckles, "why?"
"Can I sleep with you and mama po?"
