....
Dinner was served in the Dining. Imelda ordered some maids to call them since everyone didn't come out of their shells.
Fiona walked downstairs, passing the maids that went upstairs. She's overthinking her mom's strange actions earlier.
"Buntis kaya? Siguro? Maybe? Ewan?" Fiona asked herself, stopping at the edge of the stairs, leaning her back to the rails.
She was disturbed by her imagination when her parents were walking downstairs, laughing. Clara was behind them.
Irene clung on Greggy's arm. "Oh nang, bat ka nakatambay dito sa hagdan?" She asked. Fiona shrugged. "I was waiting for clang, mommy." Clara went to her.
They all went to the dining because Imelda was waiting for them already. Imelda served a bunch of dishes since Irene and Greggy wanted to announce their pregnancy.
Minutes passed. Everyone was already in the dining area. Some of them are standing while talking, some are laughing while Imelda was sitting in the middle, waiting for them to finish what they were doing.
"Ano? magchichismisan nalang kayong lahat? Kumain na tayo." Imelda said. Everyone looked at her and quickly grabbed their chairs.
"I'm sorry, ma. I'll lead the prayer." Imee said and started the prayer. After that, everyone said "Amen."
Maids entered the dining, holding a bunch of dishes, and put them on top of the table. The teens rubbed their hands, feeling excited.
"Gosh, favs." Callista exclaimed. Rody put some dishes on her plates. "Thanks, dad." She smiled.
Irene, on the other hand, put all the dishes on her plates, making her plate look like a mountain.
Everyone looked at her, even Fiona who was getting suspicious.
"Bakit kayo nakatingin lahat sakin?" She asked. "Para kang hindi kumain ng ilang linggo Irene!" Imee frowned.
"Bakit ka sumisigaw? Eh nagugutom lang naman ako. Sige hindi na lang ako kakain." She started to sob. She bowed her head and played with her fingers.
"Luh? sumigaw ba ako? alam mo, Irene? ang weird mo, ang sensitive mo." Imee complained. Irene started to sobbed again.
"Greggy, inaaway ako." Irene sobbed in Greggy's arms. Everyone looked at her with a clueless reaction.
"Pambihira!" Imee slapped her forehead. "Anong nangyayari sayo?" She added. Imelda signaled her to shut up.
Greggy cupped Irene's cheeks and wiped her tears. "Kumain na tayo. Wag ka nang umiyak, hmm?" He said, softly. Irene just nodded and started eating her food.
"Irene ang arte mo. Buntis ka ba?" Imee asked. Bongbong laughed. "Oo." She sniffed.
Everyone was stunned. "Pardon? Come again?" Bong frowned. Imelda smiled. Irene glared at him and took the ultrasound copy that her OB gave earlier. She put it in the middle of the table.
"Ebidensya baka sabihin niyong nagbibiro ako...and thinking that I can no longer produce a baby because of my age." Irene said, staring blankly a them. Agad nilang kinuha ang ang ultrasound copy at pinagpasa-pasahan.
