Nadine snuck into Yanna's room and sat at the edge of her bed, silently debating whether or not she should wake her up. Yanna was snoring however Nadine feels she should talk to Yanna and maybe she'll make sense of things.

"Ate." Nadine said. "Wake up." She shakes Yanna gently.

Yanna yawns and turns her back on Nadine.

"Ate Yanna!" Nadine said loudly.

"Wha?" Yanna sat up, startled and opened her eyes to see Nadine on her bed.

She sat up and pulled the blankets away.

"Nadine?! What happened?"

Nadine started crying and Yanna enveloped her in her arms.

"Hey cuz? What's wrong?" Yanna asks as she grabs her phone from the bedside table to check the time: 1:11 am.

"I'm scared. I don't know how our fans will take it tomorrow." Nadine sniffs. Yanna remembers Nadine is hormonal as she is 6 weeks pregnant with James' baby.

"Ssshhh." Yanna shushes her gently and attempts to rock her like the baby she was when Yanna used to babysit Nadine.

They're cousins and they're quite close even though their age gap is quite huge.

Nadine places her cheek on Yanna's tummy. "Ate, paano kung di nila matanggap yung mga sagot namin sa all out concert/ surprise interview bukas?"

"Ang alin, Nadine? That you and James have been married since February 2016? Or that you are now pregnant with James' baby?"

Nadine didn't answer. She just sobbed.

"Babygirl, your fans love you and they will forgive you for hiding something like this." Yanna says.

"Eh papaano kung hindi?" Nadine counters.

"They will." Yanna sounds certain. "Even Mommy knows that. You'll see. They will understand. You and James have always been honest with them. They won't feel betrayed. Just remember to apologize." Yanna caresses Nadine's arms in an attempt to soothe her.

James knocks and opens the door to Yanna's room, the sight of Nadine crying in Yanna's arms tugging at his heart.

He knows how concerned Nadine is when it comes to their fans. Even he is not sure if their fans will forgive them for lying about their marital status. In fact, if only Nadine wasn't pregnant, they would've gone on lying for the sake of their contracts. However, his first born son or daughter doesn't deserve that. Their baby doesn't deserve to go through what he and Nadine went through.

James motions to Yanna as he approaches Nadine. He takes Nadine from Yanna's arms and folds her into his.

"Baby", James gently croons. "I'm here. I'm home. Let's leave Ate Yanna alone so she could catch up on some sleep. Tita Nona won't like it if her daughter is haggard for the interview later."

Nadine nods and lets James carry her. James mouths a "Thank you" to Yanna before closing the door and carrying Nadine all the way to their bedroom. Yanna takes a look at the manuscript on her bedside table titled JaDine: The Revelation and sighs. It's gonna be a long day ahead of her and she wasn't quite sure she could go back to sleep.
