"wes pa" three year old basti answered, elle rolled her eyes but smiled when basti kissed her cheeks.
"behave ka lang later basti" Brent reminded and basti nodded. Playing with his toy,
"dala mo lahat?" Elle asked brent, brent nodded and checked basti's baby bag.
"tata, cawwy." basti said nang ibaba siya ni elle to sa loob ng sasakyan.
"but you have to stay sa car seat baby." elle replied, basti frowned, but brent called his name.
"we're bring tata to our special place baby, you have to sit sa carseat." malumanay na sabi ni brent, basti sighed and just nodded.
Laking pasasalamat nila na mabait at masunurin si basti, minsan lang nga ito umiyak at mag tantrums.

"crackers muna baby, we're eating out later." brent said, tumango naman si basti and he happily munched on his crackers.
Tulak ni brent ang stroller at baby bag while his other hand was intertwined with elle. Tumigil sila sa isang puntod, elle's breath hitched as she read the name.
