At Heathrow Airport...

The Gomez family arrived in London approximately 14 hours and 35 minutes on a direct flight from Manila.

They were aware that Manila to London trips with layovers could take 20 hours or more depending on connections, something Vince dislikes, especially while traveling; instead, he preferred nonstop flights.

Anyhow, as soon as they landed in the airport, Halley decided to take her brother to go snack shopping within stores inside since they hadn't carried any treats with them and ended up leaving their parents awhile.

Vince kept his gaze fixed on his children until they disappeared before approaching his wife.

Tricia had been standing near the baggage carousel, waiting for their belongings.

     "Hey, honey, how are you feeling? Still cold?" He questioned, warmly massaging her back

"Hey, honey, how are you feeling? Still cold?" He questioned, warmly massaging her back.

"A bit," Tricia said with a smile, "thanks for lending me your jacket, hon, I simply can't remember which bag I placed my jacket in."

"It's fine, honey; you could always wear my jacket."

"I know," she giggles.

"Oh, there's our luggage, honey," Vince quickly spotted their bags, "I'll grab them so you don't have to carry it."

"Fine, but I'll still help you," she insisted.

The couple made sure to have all of their belongings before proceeding to the waiting area where they could wait for their children to return.

     They were halfway through when Tricia felt queasy and had to stop for a moment.

"What's wrong, honey?" Vince asked while he clutched his wife's hand, "are you feeling nauseous?"

Tricia nodded, "I'll go search for a lavatory before I throw up here."

"I'll accompany you, honey."

"There's no need, hon; just stay here and wait for the kids; I won't be long."

Vince respectfully agreed and gently kissed his wife's temple, saying 'be cautious, honey,' and 'don't stay too long' before allowing her to leave.

Wherein Tricia managed to caressed her husband's face and kiss him briefly while saying, 'I won't be long,' before leaving him there.

Halley and Adan, on the other hand, had just purchased their munchies and opted to return to their parents.

"Ate Hal, Mama's there!" Exclaimed Adan when he noticed their Mama walking nearby.

Halley peered in the direction her brother was pointing and was surprised to see their Mama unattended and without their Papa, therefore they approached her immediately.
