"Diyos ko!"

A knock at the door left me startled. Nagbibihis pa naman ako. After last night's mortifying scene, hindi ko na alam yung ma-fi-feel ko sa mga ingay o galaw ng pintuan.

I rushed to wear my plain white shirt over my t-shirt bra and went to open the door.

"Oh, hi! Hey, Allie!" I grinned when I saw Alexandra smile and kick her legs up and down while being carried by her mom. Liza appeared hesitant and looked around Amanda's room.

"Uhm...Hi. I hope we aren't disturbing—"

"No, you aren't. Amanda's in the shower".

"Hey, Rab", Alex waved, looking curious from behind his wife. He carried a medium-size beige bag. "Ermm—we'll be leaving in a while".

"We just want to go through some of the details with you and Mandy". Liza grinned.

"Oh! Yeah, hold on. I don't know what's taking her long though, I'll check on Amanda". Pupunta na dapat ako ng banyo, pero buti nalang lumabas din siya.

"Finally, you're out".

"Hey, sis —"

"Oh, hey Liz, Lex", Amanda nodded before coming closer to her neice. She was still in her robe with a towel wrapped around her hair.

"Hello, munchkin!" My girlfriend took Alexandra from Liz.

"So, here's the bag with some of Allie's clothes, milk bottles, formula milk—everything she needs is inside. Please, please make sure to feed her every four hours". Liza told us as her husband placed the bag beside Amanda's dresser.

"Got it. Every four hours", I nodded. "Can she eat any solids?"

"Just some blended or mashed fruits and vegetables — just once a day, and if she needs to nap, you'll have to sway her a little bit".

Amanda was already moving from side to side and Alexandra was smiling at her celebrity aunt.

"I'll bring in Allie's crib in a minute". Alex added.

Liz looked at her daughter and was trying not to cry. "Sweetie, I'll miss you". She caressed Alexandra's head and gave her cute girl a kiss on the cheek. "Mommy will be back soon, okay? Please be good to your aunties. Okay, baby?" Liz placed butterfly kisses on Allie's chonky hand.

Iba talaga mag-mahal ang nanay. Napangiti tuloy ako kasi naalala ko rin si mama. Naiiyak pa rin kasi siya tuwing aalis ako. Ito lang ngang January, umiyak pa siya before kami umalis ni Amanda ng Ilo-ilo, but my girlfriend assured her that we'll be back this year — if not, we promised na siya yung kukunin namin.

"Excuse me, ladies —" Alex arrived lifting a folded crib and installed it beside Amanda's old bed.

"There—all set". He grinned and pressed his palms together. Then his eyes gravitated on Amanda's bed. His leg tried to push the bed a little bit, before leaning forward - placing all of his weight in his down on the mattress, pressing it and causing the bed to squeak.

"Oh". He quickly stood up straight and blushed.

I tried to avoid his gaze and searched for my girlfriend's instead, pero hindi naman siya nakatingin sa akin.

"Mom said the bed was squeaking".

"What?", my girlfriend sounded annoyed.

"Lex, let's go!" Liz interrupted and attempted to drag her husband out of Amanda's room.

"Thank you so much for accommodating Allie. If you need to ask any questions just call us, okay?!"

"Hopefully there won't be any need for that". I nervously giggled.
