Sam and Miguel just got home from Sam's parents house for a mini reunion.
"Migs, did you have fun?"
The kid kisses her before taking off his shoes, "Yes! Play cars with Jacob!" Jacob was his cousin from Sam's brother.
"Yeah, I saw!" Miguel's yaya tries to take him upstairs but he wa not cooperating. "Migs, c'mon, can you go with Ate Jo so you can change your clothes?"
Out of nowhere, the kid starts to bawl as he makes his way to her. "Mamaaa..."
"Jo, sige na. I'll just call you, may sumpong, e. Inaantok na din kasi siguro. Naglaro ba naman buong araw."
"Sige po. Tawagin niyo na lang po ako."
"Soge salamat." Sam finally turns to her baby who's crying on her lap. "Babe, stop crying na... are you sleepy na?"
He nods his head but doesn't stop crying. She carries him upstairs and she freshens him up.
They're now settled on Sam's bed, by special request of the little boy.
Sam puts on the movie Toy Story as it is one of his favorites.
"Mama!" He says as Jessie's character is on screen.
"That's Mama? What about Migs? Which one are you?"
Woody plays on screen, "Me!" But seconds later, "No. Not Miguel. That's Papa!"
This sets Sam back but she tries to shrug it off. He smoothens his hair back, "If that's Papa, then where's Miguel?"
"Buzzzzz!" He says, referring to Buzz Lightyear. Miguel turns to Sam, "Mama, where Papa?"
She didn't know what to say. Sometimes, Sam just wants Matthew to get to know Miguel already. This lovely kid deserves that.
"Papa has work, Anak, e." The usual thing she says. "But you'll meet him soon."
When she gets no reaction from Miguel, partly because he finally gave into his sleep, she brings her up and pulls him closer. "I love you, Migs." She kisses him.
——————————————
She wakes up about an hour later with Miguel still asleep beside her.
Sam grabs her phone and sees 3 texts from Jaime.
Sam!
