Happy 61st Weeksary!!!

Maine is sleeping on his shoulder, her arms around his waist, while JJ sleeps on his lap, hugging his leg. Two of the most cherished people in the world are right here in his arms. This is bliss! Even though his arm went to sleep a long time ago, he doesn't want to budge so as not to disturb his sleeping babies.

JJ and M were still asleep as they pulled up the driveway of their home so J asked yaya Pepe to take JJ and bring him inside. He didn't have the heart to wake Maine up since she's sleeping so deeply so he carried her to their room. He also changed her clothes, the very same way how she changes JJ's clothes when he's asleep- by continuously kissing her so she remains asleep. He's a fast-learner, you see.

They left Bulacan shortly after dinner. Nanay and Tatay sighed in relief when they realized all is well with the newly-weds once they joined them for dinner. J & M are inseparable when they left Maine's bedroom, which is their normal. Di uso ang space.

He's been cajoling M to eat more. It's been a week since she lost her appetite. She lost a lot of weight which made him really worry. He brought her laksa and ramen and he's been enticing her to eat. She tried both but preferred the laksa and almost finished the bowl of soup, she didn't mention that it's her first meal of the day.

JJ sat on J's lap the entire time he's feeding M her soup. The boy probably felt sorry for his dad and felt the need to reassure him of his love. He's feeding his dad food from his plate, also asking him to eat, mimicking everything he's doing to M. J had to smile.

M's parents looked on, they really like J not just because he's JJ's real father but because he's a really good man & he obviously loves them both. He's not only handsome but someone with a pure heart. How can M even get mad at this guy? He's so adorable!

He decided to work from home the following day so he can keep an eye on M and make her eat, even if he needs to sponfeed her. He learned that she eats very little, if at all. He begged her to see a doctor but she refused. Instead, she seduced him and took advantage of his weakness, easily.

Maine came into the study bearing a tray of fresh orange juice and a sandwich, J quickly got the tray from her and pulled her to his lap, nuzzling her neck, his arms going around her waist.

"Baby, I need to fly to Cebu, come with me?"

"What about JJ?"

"May school sya eh, andito naman sina Mommy at Nanay. Are you up to travel? Check up muna tayo?"

"I feel better, babe, may gana na ulit ako kumain."

"Yup, pansin ko nga bumalik na ang gana mo sa maraming bagay." Wiggling his brows teasingly.

"So don talaga lagi papunta usapan natin?"

"Where else? Babe, sure ka you feel better enough to travel ha. I don't want you to over-exert yourself."

"I already over-exerted myself earlier, I didn't see you complaining." She kissed him on the lips.

"Wuy, I did all the work kaya? All you did was lie there and scream and.."

"Shush!!! Kiss & tell ka!"
