Over The Rainbow (COMPLETED)

Sunday Plan

R comes home to a quiet home. M is already putting the kids to sleep.

It's a Saturday so bedtime comes a little late.

R finds M in Thirdy's room with a very drowsy Charmaine on her lap and ready-to- sleep Thirdy tucked in bed.

He walks to his son's bed and kisses M's cheek. He then turns to the kids and kisses their foreheads.

"Si Seb?" He asks M.

"Kanina pa tulog, Love. Silipin mo na lang mamaya."

"Okay, Love. Kumain ka na?"

"Yes. Sinabayan ko na kumain mga bata. Ikaw?"

"Yes, Love. May pagkain naman sa set. Haaay... I miss dinner with the kids"

"We miss you too, Papa." Thirdy says sleepily.

R leans back on his son's pillows, scoops his shoulders to let Thirdy rest his head on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, buddy, tomorrow is Sunday and I promise to spend the whole day with you. What do want to do?"

"Can we go biking and swimming, Papa?"

"Ofcourse! We'll do that, I promise. How about you, sweetheart?" R smiles at Charm.

"Can we go to the beach, Papa?" Charm answers with a yawn.

"Hmmm... Okay, baby. We'll go to the beach. We'll all ride in the camper and go to the beach house then Kuya and I will go biking while you and Mama walk by the beach with Seb then we'll all go swimming together. How about that?" R beams.

"That's a good plan, Papa." Thirdy smiles, his eyes getting heavier.

"I wike it." Charms smiles as her eyes close.

"I love it. It's a perfect plan, Love." M smiles.

"Alright. Let's do it. Close your eyes, loves and get some sleep. Good night, kids. I love you. Sweet dreams." R says.

"We love you, Papa. Good night." Thirdy answers.

"Wuv you. Hmmm... Night." Charm yawns.

R and M wait until the kids are fast asleep. He then picks their daughter up from his wife's lap and carries the child to her room.

They tuck her in bed and kiss her goodnight before walking out of her room hand in hand.

R raises M's hand to his lips and kisses it.

"I miss you, Love." He tells his wife and holds her eyes in his gaze.

"I miss you too." She whispers and leans her head on his arm as they walk to Seb's room with their fingers intertwined.

After a few minutes, they make their way to their own bedroom.

R sits on the edge of the bed, exhausted.

M goes up the bed behind R and starts massaging his shoulders.

"Love, you should really try to get some rest. Pwede ka naman na mag-break. You don't have to work so much anymore." M says as she kneads the tensed muscles on R's shoulders.

"I know, Love, di ko lang matanggihan tong project. Siyempre si Je nag-request. Bihira lang naman yun. Three weeks lang naman ako guest sa comedy series niya. Pagbigyan na natin." R reasons with his eyes closed, feeling at ease by the moment with his wife's relaxing massage.

"After this, promise mo, rest ka na muna. No guestings and mall shows. EB and the TS lang. The kids miss you. Si Seb baka di ka makilala."

"Grabe siya. Ang harsh naman nun, Love. Iiyak na ako." R sighs.

"Ay at iiyak nga siya. Seriously, Love, you barely see Seb makikita mo lang tulog na."

R takes M's hand from his shoulder and rests its palm on his cheek.

"Kaya nga bukas, we will all take that little trip. Susulitin natin ang Sunday natin." He then kisses the palm of her hand and turns to look at his wife.

"Teka lang, Love, ikaw ba di mo ako nami-miss?"

"Nami-miss ofcourse pero I understand, pareho tayo ng trabaho, Love." M smiles.

R looks her in the eyes and says, "Ako kasi miss na miss kita, Love. Thank you for being so patient and understanding with me. Thank you for explaining to the kids and making them understand. Thank you for being the best wife ever. I love you forever, my one and only Mrs. Faulkerson."

M smiles and kisses R's nose. "Thank you din, Love for taking care of us always. You kept your promise. I love more and more, Forever hubby."

R brushes some stray hair from M's face and tucks it behind her ear.

He then leans forward and gently kisses his wife's lips.

"Halika. Let's go to sleep, Love. You need some rest for tomorrow." M smiles.

"Anong sleep? Remember, dati kahit walang tulog..." R slips his hands around M's waist and stares at her hawkishly. "Kahit pagod..." He then kisses her neck. "We can still go for hours?" He whispers on her skin.

M giggles. "Mr. Faulkerson, you're still as naughty as ever."

R stares back at her eyes. "Because I'm still as in love with you as ever, if not more."

M smiles. "At ang kilig ko sa'yo walang kupas, Love."

R grins. "Ako din mas kilig pa nga ako ngayon, Love."

"Kaya pa ba? I mean pagod ka na, Love. Sobra."

R squints his eyes. "Hinahamon mo ba ako, Love?"

"No. I'm genuinely concern. You're not twenty four anymore, Love."

"Ah ganoon ha? So matanda na ako?" He topples M and pins her on the bed.

"No... I didn't say that. Ang sabi ko lang... Wag na nga... I'm just going to make things worse." She giggles.

"Talaga. Papakita ko sa'yo yang sinasabi mong matanda at pagod." R smirks and kisses her lips then trails kisses down her neck.

"Love? Love?" M laughs as she finds R sleeping on her shoulder.

She pushes him gently and lays his head on the pillow. M rolls to lie on her side and faces R.

She watches her husband sleep with a smile.

"I love you more and more everyday, Love and I will continue loving you for eternity. Good night. Sleep tight."

She leans forward to kiss his nose, rests her forehead on his and closes her eyes to sleep.
