Sapphire watched as Ai and Saitou bid their goodbyes and went to their destinantion before she gave a side glance to Miyako, Saitou Ichigo's wife, who collapsed to the sofa she was previously sitting on with a tired and defeated look. "Aw, I don't have any experience babysitting in the first place... Why did it fall on me...?" Sapphire heard her mutter out with a whiny tone, which made Sapphire almost deadpan. Then, unsurprisingly, Miyako fell asleep without a single worry of the babies she had to babysit.

Sapphire was truly disappointed ― she expected that even though Miyako didn't have any babysitting experience, she would still watch over them since it was her duty. Sighing, she took another gulp of milk from her nursing bottle beside her older triplet, Aqua, who was sucking a toy meant for babies to suck. All of a sudden, Aqua placed the toy down and stood up to his full height before grabbing his own bottle of milk and sitting on the cream-colored carpet in front of the television.

Interested, Sapphire also stood up and carried her nursing bottle along, which no longer give a shock to Aqua who knew that Sapphire was not normal baby from the beginning. 'The youngest  of us, the triplets, Sapphire, is also not a normal baby...' Aqua thought as he remembered Sapphire being such a composed and wise baby who helps Ai on taking care or calming Ruby down when she had tantrums.

Not thinking or fussing much of it, Aqua grabbed the TV remote and pressed the red button, automatically turning the TV on. As soon as the TV was on, Ai's face appeared and it seemed that she was waving. "Here's Ai-san, who has resumed her idol activities as of today!" A woman's voice introduced.

"Daijobu? Are you eating properly?" A man asked Ai firmly.

As a reply, Ai answered, "Hai! I'm eating plenty!" She was surely cheerful and bright, not a single waver was heard in her voice. Aqua smiled fondly as he drank from his nursing bottle joyfully with the same thought as Sapphire, 'Yokatta. She's doing a good job.' As the both of them synchronize their movements of drinking from the nursing bottle, they continued watching Ai with adoration in their eyes.

"Oh, right! Speak of food, the other day my baby..." Hearing that sentence, both Aqua and Sapphire felt an electricity of shock flowing through their veins and as a result, the both of them spew out their milk. Sapphire lightly coughed while Aqua seemed like he was having a coughing seizure, so she helped him out by patting his back gently. 

The male reporter in the dark grey suit and rectangle-shaped glasses beside Ai asked, "My baby?" Members of the B-Komachi group looked Ai with shock in their eyes as they have never thought that Ai would utter out the word 'baby'. They were idols, so it would have been absolutely inappropriate to conceive and have a child of their own; not to mention that they were only 16 years old, which made Ai a teen mom and that itself will surely destroy her career and reputation.

A noticeable red blush coated Ai's cheeks as she waved her hands and corrected, "Er, I mean my baby kitten! I got a pet during my rest period, you see!" A blob of sweat can be seen on Ai's cheeks as she said so. Sapphire then thought inwardly, 'THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL! I SWEAR, AI CAN BE SO CARELESS!'

Aqua, who just finished his coughing session, suddenly heard a voice in his head, 'THAT WAS A CLOSE CALL! I SWEAR, AI CAN BE SO CARELESS!' Shocked, he looked at Sapphire before thinking in his head, 'Eh?! Who's there?! Who's voice is in my mind?'

Sapphire, who heard a voice in her head looked Aqua before she asked, "Did you just... say that?" Sapphire purple met aquatic blue, and then Aqua answered, "Yes, I did... in my head."
