Lunch

We waited at the bench in front of Scarlet's classroom. 15 minutes na lang ay lunch break na niya.

"Boys, what do you wanna eat?" I heard Livvy asked.

"I want spicy buttered chicken, mama." Phoenix answered

"Sweet and sour, Mama." Laevich answered too.

Phoenix is into salty foods, while Laevich likes sweets. Their similarities ends with their face, huh? They have different likes and wants.

After 15 minutes the school bell rang. Scarlet's classroom's door opened. We remained seated. Knowing my daughter mamaya pa yun lalabas. Sa kaartehan nito na namana niya saakin, ayaw na ayaw nito ang nakikipagsiksikan. Ewwy daw dahil didikit ang balat niya sa mga balat ng classmates niya na di niya alam ang ang sabon.

My daughter has a point tho...

"Mommy! Mama!"

Scarlet ran towards us and kissed my cheeks and Livvy's too. Tumingin ito sa mga pinsan at sa gulat namin ni Livvy as inirapan niya ito. At mas lumaki pa ang mata namin when the twins rolled their eyes to their ate too.

"Ang init ata ng ulo ng mga batang Pablova?" Natatawang ani ni Livvy.

Ngumuso lang si Scarlet. "Why are you here, mommy, mama?"

"Your cousins had their entrance exam few minutes ago and we decided to wait for you para sabay na tayong maglunch." I explained

"I don't need plastic people in my life." My daughter said with a brat tone. She was telling us how she hates eating with her classmates.

"Or maybe you just have a bad attitude that's why they're fake towards you." Phoenix said innocently, but his innocent remark made his cousin frown.

"So, what are you trying to say?" Scarlet frowned, her eyes are already chinky while looking at her cousin. "Mama Olivia, your son is bullying me!"

"No, I'm not! I was just saying what I want to say! I didn't know that you'll get offended with that! Maybe the reason why you got offended was because it's true!" Phoenix's voice started to rise. He was pouting while looking straight at Scarlet's eyes.

"Kids, stop that. Give respect to our food, hmm?" Livvy was so calm.

The two stopped bickering with each other but they kept on rolling their eyes. Bumubulong bulong si Scarlet habang nagmake face naman si Phoenix.

After our lunch, namasyal lang kami sa mall, but unfortunately, Scarlet have to go since she still have classes to attend. Pinahatid ko na lang siya sa driver.

I bought maternity clothes and flats. I can't wear fitted clothes anymore dahil baka maipit si baby. I also bought baby clothes but just the neutral color ones. We still don't know that gender.

Livvy, on the other hand, bought school materials for the twins since sa monday na sila papasok. She also bought some clothes for her, the twins and Nicco, I think.

We went home after that shopping.

Kinabukasan, it was just me and the twins. Livvy have to go to the hospital and work already. I told na ako na ang bahala sa kambal. And that day, I decided to cook lunch and go to Nathan.

"Baby boys, is it okay if we go to Daddy Nathan?" I asked sweetly and smiled at the two handsome boys.

They are sitting at the kitchen stool while I'm cooking. Laevich is reading books while Phoenix is playing with his ipad.
