Baby Duty
"Alright... bring out his card, Zo." Utos ni Damian. May kinuha naman si Zoey sa purse niya at card ito.
"Name: Carlos Quezon
Birthday: August 7, 2098
Occupation: Construction worker
Day that Died: December 1, 2124
Why: Fell on a tree trying to save a cat, in a coma for 1 year and eventually died." Sabi ni Zoey sa kanila. Tinago ni Damian ang tawa niya."Aww.. sorry for that. I'm sure na thankful sa'yo ang pusang 'yon, Mister Carlos." Ani Zoey at niyakap ang lalaki.
"A-Am I dead?" Hinila ni Damian si Zoey at tinabi uli sa kanya.
"Congratulations, you're dead, Mister Quezon." Naka ngising sabi ni Damian.
Tsinekan ni Zoey sa card niya ang good person at binigay kay Carlos. "Here, ibigay mo 'to kay Troy."
"W-Wait, I'm confuse-"
"Bye." at pumitik na si Damian at nawala na si Carlos. Tsaka siya humagalpak ng tawa.
"E-Ewan ko ba kung matatawa o maaawa ako! HAHAHA!" Hagalpak sa tawa ni Damian. Binatukan lamang ni Zoey si Damian.
"Hey! At least may sinave siyang pusa and done something good! How 'bout you, huh?!" Ani Zoey habang nakapameywang kay Damian.
"I- Ikaw? May ginawa ka bang mabuti- Ah, Oo nga pala." Huminga si Damian ng malalim. "Then, let's make this into a challenge."
"No thank you!" Irap ni Zoey at tumalikod na kay Damian.
"I'd like to challenge myself into doing good things."
Napa lingon naman si Zoey kay Damian na ngayon ay nasa tabi na niya.
"Wait, seriously?! Omg, na-inspire ka ba doon kay Carlos-"
"But only for a day!" Matigas ma sabi nito kay Zoey."Okay, okay. So what will be the punishment if you fail the challenge?" Taas kilay na tanong ni Zoey kay Damian.
"Nothing. It's just a little challenge so-"
"Bake me cookies every day for a week if you failed." Sabat ni Zoe. Nanlaki naman ang mata ni Damian at kokontra dapat. "No buts, now let's go get that newly born baby!" She excitedly said at tineleport na ni Zoey silang dalawa ni Damian sa isang hospital."Ugh, pinaka ayaw ko 'to sa trabaho mo, damn babies." Ani Damian. Natawa naman si Zoey dahil may naisip siyang ideya.
"I'm leaving the newly born babies in your hands then while I go get the dead ones." Giggled Zoey and handed 10 blank cards in Damian's hands.
"What?!"
"Whatdog!" And disappeared. Napa tulala nalang si Damian habang naka tingin sa nursery room at kung nasaan ang mga babies na bibigyan niya ng future.
Dito niya na-realize na mas gusto niya nalang masunog ang bahay niya kaka-bake ng cookies ni Zoey araw-araw than to hold babies.
"Damn this."
Lumapit si Damian sa pinaka unang crib. Babaeng sanggol ito. Her eyes reminded him of Zoey's eyes, ocean blue eyes.
Kinuha niya ito at binuhat.
Naka-tingin lang sa kanya ang sanggol at di nag-tagal ay tumawa-tawa ito habang nasa braso siya ni Damian.
"You're quite the charmer, huh?" Ani Damian. 'Di niya napapansin na ngumingiti na pala siya habang hawak-hawak ang batang babae.
Binaba na niya ang bata at nilabas ang card.

Day that died: -
Why they died: -Ngumisi siya sa bata. "I gave you the name of a beautiful lady so do good, 'kay?" Dinuplicate niya ang card at nilagay ang isang card sa tabi ng bata at inilagay sa coat niya ang isa as he moved on to the next child.
