After a few minutes, Jerald and Kate joined them and then Capt. Faulkerson Sr came carrying two bottles of Champagne while Riza is carrying a box of wine glasses.

RS: Hello mga anak...ready na bang mag toast???

Everyone cheered on and grabs a glass as Lolo Captain as everyone calls him now, opens a bottle and passes it around. Maine refuses to drink champagne, Richard puts Cranberry juice in her glass instead.

RS: Para kay Richard, Maine, babies Richard Ross and Charmaine Margo....cheers!!!

Cheers!!!!!

Maine's Hospital Suite, 8am

Richard kisses his wife on the forehead and smiles. He just showered but still looks tired...

R: Good Morning Mommy....sponge bath and then dadalin n ang babies here...

M: Good Morning Daddy....I miss them na, bilis sponge bath na ako....

After a few minutes, the Nurses started coming in with the babies on their carriages, Thirdy in blue blanket while Charmaine is in a yellow blanket.

N1: Mommy, ready na po for breast feeding?

M: Yes po ang bigat nga ng dibdib ko eh saka medyo masakit po.

N2: Normal lang po yan...Mommy, isa isa muna ha, sino po uunahin natin?

M: Daddy???

R: Ako mauuna??? Game!

M: Hindi! Loko ka...sino uunahin ko sa babies???

R: Bahala ka po....

M: Okay fine...yung Kuya, si Thirdy po muna...

Maine was taken aback when the Nurse places Thirdy in her arms...

M: Ay si Charmaine na lang po muna...

And then she cried when the Nurse places Charmaine in her arms...

M: Daddy!!! I can't choose....

R: Stop crying na, Ate Nurse, akina po si Thirdy pwede? Thank you...Okay Mommy, c Charmaine muna i breast feed mo habang kalong ko so Thirdy okay?

M: Okay....Ate Nurse, paano po ba?

Tita Margo entered the room as Maine smiles and almost yell when she is finally able to breast feed Charmaine. When it is Thirdy's turn, the Nurse had to massage Maine's breast, Richard is carrying Charmaine and is looking lovingly at his wife. The Nurses are feeling a bit awkward but nonetheless so kilig over the sweetness.

Maine fell asleep after breastfeeding the twins, Richard talks to Tita Margo as they settle what to do with the tons of gifts and adding another Yaya to help them. Richard told Tita Margo that he and Maine will try their best to be "hands on" parents. Tita Margo smiled and looks at wishes them the best of luck. In two days, they will be going home...and for sure, the riot will begin!
