"OH— OH MY— LENI—"
"What?!" She hissed.
He hugged her tight, she can barely breathe.
"Are you crying right now?" She whispered, irritated.
He sniffed and withdrew from the hug. "I'm sorry. I'm just— I cannot explain what I'm feeling— I feel like floating, babe. Sobrang saya ko! Sobrang saya ko!" He cried once again, burying his face on her neck.
"Bong" She uttered. He knew that tone and it sounded helpless.
"What's the problem, babe?" He cupped her face.
He can see the worry in her big round eyes.
"What happened? You can tell me, babe." He kissed her lips quickly.
She held his wrist which was holding her face. "Emi didn't know yet."
Bongbong finally gets it. Emi didn't even know that there's something going on between them. "We'll sit down and talk to her properly."
"What if magalit sya?" She expressed, already in the verge of crying. "Hindi pa nga natin sya nakakausap about sa relationship natin eh. Kahit sa pagpapalit ng apelyido nya di pa natin sya nakakausap tapos ito pa ngayon. I mean how—"
He kissed her.
He pressed his forehead on hers as they catch their breaths. "We'll figure this out. I'm here, babe. You'll not go through this alone this time. I promise."
She nodded and hugged him tight. It's nice to know that he's there for her especially now that they're having a child again.
"I love you!" She whispered.
He hugged her tight. "I love you too. I love our little family."

"Ang baho ng sasakyan!" Leni covered her nose the moment she entered the passenger seat.
It was early in the morning, Bongbong and Leni will send Emi to school before he dropped Leni at the restaurant.
Emi frowned. "Dati lang naman ang amoy ma."
Bongbong knew that changes like this were caused by her being pregnant. "I'll just turn off the ac, you want? Open windows nalang muna tayo. Di pa naman masyadong mainit."
Leni nodded as she rested her head on the headrest.
Bongbong checked on her before he stepped on the gas pedal.
After they dropped Emi off her school. Bongbong immediately held her hand. "Are you okay?"
She nodded. Her eyes were closed.
"Kaya mo bang pumasok ngayon? If you want umuwi nalang tayo para makapagrest ka." He suggested.
"I have to meet up with suppliers today, babe." She uttered.
He sighed. "I'll accompany you nalang."
She clicked her tongue. "Huwag na. Maaabala ka lang eh. Don't you have meetings too?"
He nodded. "Meron pero you need me eh. I have to attend to you."
She opened her eyes and leaned to kiss him. "I'm okay, daddy. Thank you!"
He nodded. "But you have to call me. Update me."
She nodded.

"Mama, may parent's meeting kami bukas. 1pm." Emi informed her mom.
"Pwede bang si daddy na muna umattend?" Leni asked, weakly.
