Beatriz was half awake when she was looking for her favorite pillow to hug. She realized that there's something hard that she's touching. She carefully opened her eyes and was shocked to see her love sleeping beside her.
"How come she didn't wake me up when she's here pala?" Bea thought.
She can't help but smile as her Baby is peacefully sleeping beside her.
"Good morning Baby!" Beatriz whispered and kissed her love at her cheeks.
Her love didn't react so she repeated kissed her cheeks until she wakes up.
"Omfff. Good morning Beatriz." Her love smiled as Beatriz was looking at her.
"Jhoooo!! What time did you arrive? Sana man lang you woke me up."
"Past three in the morning, love. You were snoring kaya I didn't disturb your sleep na. I'll just prepare breakfast. Want do you want?"
"Haaaa. That late? Huhu. Let's just cuddle na lang Baby."
"Later. Kain muna tayo breakfast?"
"Okay. Can we have bacon and eggs for breakfast? I missed your cooking na. Don't be away naman so tagal. Hirap eh."
"Alright, bacon & eggs for my baby. That's for work naman babe." Jho said and kissed Bea's cheek before going to the kitchen.

"Good morning Mama Det. Ako na po magcook ng breakfast."
"Good morning Jho. Wow really? Let me help you na lang sweetie."
"Huwag na po Mama. Kaya ko na po. I missed doing this for you and the fam po eh. Bei's already awake na rin po upstairs."
"Alright, sweetheart. Just tell me if you need anything ha? I'll be in the dining room."
Jho smiled at Beatriz' mom as she continues to make breakfast for the whole De Leon Family.

Breakfast is already served. De Leon family is already in the dining room. They were busy eating breakfast. Obviously, they missed having Jho around.
"How's work Bunso?" Papa Elmer asked.
"Busy po super, Pa. Pero kinakaya pa. Medyo mabusisi sa designs yung bagong client namin eh."
"That's why you're here na after 2 long months." Bea butted in. She said it in a tampo tone.
"Sorry Bei. Gusto ko naman talaga umuwi kaso grabe yung demands ng work. Hope you understand." Jho said apologetically.
"Beatriz. You should understand that Jho still makes time for you even if she's away. Tignan mo nga, she came home almost 4am here in our house just to be with you eh. Bunso has been consistently telling us that she misses you and saying sorry for not being here with you." Mama Det told Beatriz.
Beatriz just gave an okay look and continue eating breakfast.
"Tampo ka diyan Baby eh para naman sa future niyo ginagawa ni Bunso." Her dad spoke.
"I just missed her kasi. She's not with me na everyday. Ang hirap kasi Dad." Bea told in a sad tone.
"Bei, let's talk about this later ha? Eat ka na muna ng breakfast." Jho said with a sad smile.
Parents of Beatriz only smiled with each other and continued to eat their breakfast.

After eating breakfast, Jho followed Beatriz in her room. Jhoana knows that her Beatriz is still nagtatampo to her but she can only reassure her that after all the work errands, she'll always go home at Beatriz'.
"Bei, anything wrong?" Jhoana asked and gave her a reassuring smile.
"I know it's kinda petty but please I don't want the distance between us. I know it's about your work but I don't want to interfere with your work. That's your dream and I'm really proud that you are pursuing your passion. But I'm kinda having a hard time with you not being with me all the time. Sorry baby ang babaw. Hirap kapag texts and calls lang tayo, mas gusto ko pa rin physical presence mo." Bea told Jho honestly. She's about to cry pero pinipigilan niya lang.
"Thank you Baby for always understanding me. Thank you for your patience. You know that I love you so much. For the past 2 months, ang hirap Beatriz. Kahit gustong-gusto ko umuwi sa'yo araw-araw hindi naman pwede. Super daming demands nung bago naming client. May mga times na gusto ko na magquit para makasama na kita pero mas nangingibabaw yung pagbibigay ko ng effort sa work para matapos na lahat ng tasks na naka-assign sa akin. Iniisip ko na lang na after this, I can be with you. Hoping I can make you proud in any little way. But I know distance sucks and missing you so bad doesn't help me sometimes. Just a little patience pa, Baby. After this, I get to be with you, always." Jho told Beatriz and kissed her cheek. That's when Beatriz lost it. She hugged Jho before crying.
Jhoana can't take this kind of moment with Beatriz. She knows how Beatriz is clingy to her yet she's hurting that she can't do anything to reassure her that she'll always have her even if distance is present when she's going back to work again.
"I love you so much Jho. Please don't leave me :("
"Who says that I'm going to leave you? I love you Bei. We will be okay." Jho said. She's now carrying her baby. Just like the old times.
"Tahan na Bei. You'll always have me. You're my home di ba? I love you soooo sooo much." Jho making the atmosphere lighter. But Beatriz doesn't want to let go of the hug. She's still carried by Jho. "My baby damulag," Jho thought. She repeatedly whispered "I love you" to Bea until she knew that her Baby fell asleep already due to intense crying.
