MULA nang magkasagutan si Regan at Rocket ay hindi na sila muling nagpansinan dalawa. Regan was being patient with her and he tried to understand the depths of Rocket's anger at him but he sometimes couldn't comprehend her attitude towards him. He didn't stop being close with the twins as well and Rocket seemed to let him do whatever he wants.
Hindi niya alam kung bakit bigla na lang nagbago ang ihip ng hangin at hindi na nito nilalayo ang mga bata sa kanya pero wala naman siyang reklamo pa doon.
Regan had also decided which school the twins will be studying starting August but for now he wants to bond with them for as long as he can. Baka kasi bigla na lang magalit ulit si Rocket sa kanya at ilayo ang kanyang mga anak. Kasalukuyan silang nasa pool area nina Rebel at Rogue kasama si Uriel na nasa gilid lamang ng pool. The twins are wearing green and blue swimming trunks and they are holding water guns as they play around.
"I am Superman!" Rogue shouted before jumping into the pool. Meron itong suot na salbabida sa braso nito kaya naman walang takot itong tumatalon sa malalim na parte ng tubig.
"Superman ain't using guns!" Rebel said as he was clutching into his back. Hawak- hawak naman niya ang puwitan ng anak para hindi ito mahulog mula sa likuran niya.
"Okay then I'm Deadpool!" sagot ni Rogue bago sila binaril ng water gun. Natawa naman si Regan bago niya kinuha ang water gun ni Rebel at binasa din si Rogue. They laughed and played tag in the pool and after the twins got tired, they sat on the pool side and ate their snacks.
"Mister, why are you always fighting with Mama?" tanong ni Rebel kalaunan bago siya nilingon. "Mama said that people shouldn't fight and just love each other. Don't you love Mama that's why you always hurt her?"
"Yes." agad niyang sagot dito. "Your mother and I have a different kind of relationship that you wouldn't understand. We're not friends either, that's why you'll often see us fighting with each other. But you both should get used to this."
"I don't want to see my Mama crying." Singit ni Rogue. "You're always making her cry that's why I don't like you around my Mama."
Natawa naman si Regan sa sinabi nito. "Well, if you don't like me around your mom then you better be strong to protect her from me, Rogue."
"Do you have a Mama, mister?" muling tanong ni Rebel.
"Yes, I do have."
"Where is she?"
"She's in another country with my dad and my brother."
Nanlaki naman ang mata ng kanyang anak. "You have a brother too?!"
"Yes. His name is Sandro and he's a jerk." Aniya at ngumisi. Paniguradong 'pag narinig ito ng kanyang kuya ay aawayin na naman siya niyon. "He already has a wife and kids."
"What's a wife?" Rogue innocently asked.
"Hmm," napatingala naman si Regan para mag-isip ng madaling salita para maintindihan ito ng kanyang mga anak. "A wife is someone who can stay beside a man for the rest of their lives. A wife should cherish her husband. Take good care of their kids and someone whom you can go home to."
"Do you have a wife?"
"No, I don't have."
"Will you make my Mama your wife?" sagot ni Rogue na kinangiti ni Regan.
"No." he said and patted their heads. "Someday y'all have your own family but if you don't want one, it's all right too. It wouldn't be the end of the world if you stayed single forever."
"Do you have a wife, Uriel?" tanong ni Rebel kay Uriel na lumalangoy. Tumigil naman ang lalaki sa harapan nila at ngumiti.
"Nope."
