Luh guys, kalma. Hahaha
Chill chill lang tayo ditooo😂

----------------------------------------------------

Ian lit up the most colorful birthday cake and held it into Yzians face while were both singing her a birthday song.

Were here somewhere in batangas over looking the ocean and the sun that starting to rise. Ian got them a private villa para walang issue. Madaling araw palang kanina bumyahe na kami. I carefully carried yzian to the car buti nalang at himbing na himbing yung tulog niya and all throughout the drive to batangas, shes asleep. At kung hindi, tiyak, sira na yung plano namin ni Ian.

The way she reacts the moment she opens her eyes were so priceless. She smiled from ear to ear and clapping her hands after the birthday song. She blew the candles making her cheeks bubble that make her so cute. We clapped our hands and to my surprise, she pulled me and Ian's neck squishing her in the middle. Ian laid down the cake and kissed her cheeks so as i am.

"Happy birthday princess!" Ian whispered to her ear that made Yzian looked at his side. She let go of shin's neck and made her way to sit on Ian's lap. Yzian held Ian's cheek with her little palm and squish his cheeks making his lips pout. Shin brought out her phone and took a picture of the two and giggled. Yzian laughed at him so hard that you can almost see her tonsils.

"Are you making fun of me princess? Ha?" Ian asked. Yzian went down on the sand and immediately runaway from Ian because she knows, what he'll do next. Ian followed her and chase after her laughing too. Once he caught her, yzian let out a little too loud scream. Ian caught her from her behind and tickle her. Again, she let out a scream and giggles. He let her breath for a moment and decided to put her down. He knelt down to her level and pulled out something in his pocket.

"I have a gift for you." Yzian's eyes immediately widened in excitement as shes now starting to jump on a slightly wet sand that theyre stepping on. "Close your eyes muna". As she shut her eyes, she felt a cold band on her wrist. She immediately opened her eyes the moment Ian commanded her. It was a bracelet. A pandora bracelet with several charms. Ian stood up and held her hand looking at the sun that slowly taking is way up there. Higher. She wiggled it into the air, and she liked it so much. Yzians hand tigtened her hold on ian's hand that made him looked down at her. "Thank you, tito".

"You liked it?" Ian asked and yzian excitedly nod her head.

Ian threw yzian in the air like shes just so weight less. "Answer me babe! Do you liked it?" Ian asked again but all he got from her is giggles. Ian throw yzian on the air again and shin felt like her heart dropped and immediately turned panic mode when she saw that Ian throws her higher this time. Shin held her chest tight and run towards them. She sighed heavily. "Ian! Dahan dahan naman. Aatakihin ako sa inyo eh. Are you okay baby?" She asked yzian while caressing her cheek.

"Perfectly fine. This is my best birthday eveeeeerrr!" She screamed and ian spin her around while carrying her. Shin just smiled at what shes witnessing right now. Her daughter was so happy. She too was happy.

Yzian whispered something to ian dahilan ng pagtaas ng kilay niya sa dalawa. She looked at Ian pero ngumiti lang ito ng nakakaloko. But before she could react, tumili naman si yzian "mommyyyy run! Tito Ian will chase after us! Waaaahh" then she run off.

She run as fast as she could that made her hair splashed into the air covering her face. Shes wearing a flowy floral tube top maxi dress same color as with yzian's dress that was just below her knee. Ian caught the two at the same time and spin them both to the air long enough that made him dizzy and they fell on the sand. They laughed and giggled to one another as they enjoyed laying down on the sand.

They were so happy, that it scared the hell out of her that something bad might waiting for them.

"Mommy look! The sun is so beautiful!" Yzian pointed to the sun and smiled ah her shin just nooded. They stared for a few minutes just looking at the sun. Yzian is in his right side and shin is laid on his left side. Ian unconsiously put his arm on shins back and pulled her a little bit closer to him that made her heart raised. She looked up at him and his eyes were shut maybe feeling the moment.

We used to love every sunrise, and just staring at them before. Shin tought.

She sighed and returned her gaze into the ocean. I wish everything lasts forever. I wish this lasts forever.

Ian opened his eyes and realized that his left arm were wrapped around shin and yzian on his right using his chest as their pillow. He tries to command himself to take it off of her but theres something gravity thats pulling his arm not wanting to let her go. It was a familliar feeling but he wasnt sure about it. He wasnt sure about his feelings for. No, for sure it was just for yzian. His love for yzian was just beyond anything else in this world. That he chooses to love not just her, but also her mother. For the second time around, hes confused about his feeling for her. And it scares him a lot.

This woman right here, raised a beautiful child so well and she let me take the chance to be a father for this child. I cant wait to be called daddy by my princess. The DNA result will be released tomorrow for sure, and Im excited for life. He thought and kissed Yzian's forehead.

"Mommy Im hungry" yzian suddenly interrupted the momentum.

"Awe hungry na birthday girl ko?" Shin asked as she raised her head a little bit higher that she didnt even realized that shes merely hugging ian's torso. She just nooded and pouted her lips.

Shin giggled and then realized that her hand was actually on top on Ian's chest, which he didnt mind at all, because for him, he wants this feeling. The feeling of touches from her.

Their eyes met and she immediately distangled herself from Ian and sat up. "Tara na nga, breakfast time na!"

Yzian cheered and sang their song when its breakfast time.

"Breakfast, breakkyfast where are you?
Breakfast, breakkyfast where are you?" (To the tune of itsjudyslife judy's song during clean up time. Hahaha i dont know if you know that guys basta yun yon)

Ian also sing with shin and yzian since he is always at their house from breakfast to bedtime whenever he has no work. You bet, he mastered all their favorite songs!

Shin stood up and pulled yzian and carried her while they wait for Ian to stand up. He lazily raised his hand and shin gladly pulled him too. "Luh ang bigat Ian", then she laughed.

Because of her frustration on pulling Ian, she tried again for the second time but this time she put yzian down for greater force. She gained all her strength to pull ian but she stubbled and fell down just above ian. They laughed so hard and ian wrapped his arms around shin and laughed with her. When the laughters subsided, their gaze immediately met and shin smiled at him. It warms his heart. "Kaw kasi yan tuloy" then she brush off some sand on his hair and stood up. Ian too stood up and brished away from his shirt and also from shins dress. "Tara na! Gutom na yung prinsesa ko! Wawa naman" he pouted too just like what yzian is doing and carried her in her arms. Ian held shins hand and she gladly took it.

They sung the song really cheerfully and shin sometimes sway their hands on the air untill they reached their hotel room to prepare for breakfast.

And for the moment, they built their own family in their own little world making memories and worrying nothing for themselves and for others.
