Her phone rang again but she rejected Nickolai's call. "Napaka-mature mo, Lee Ann Carbonel," she whispered to herself.

Truth was she was afraid – she was afraid to lose Nick and she was afraid that he'd realize that his affection for her was nothing compared to his unborn child.

Paano kung mapagtanto n'yang mahal pa n'ya pala si PPrecious—Lee, stop it. Hindi makakatulong 'yang gan'yang pag-iisip...

"Lee Ann Carbonel!" her eldest sister hollered. "Bakit ang tagal n'yo naman yatang mag-usap? Kailangan na ba naming umalis para hindi na kayo magkasya ni Nickolai sa pag-uusap at paghaharutan sa telepono?"

Alexa laughed. "Ate, bayaan mo na nga. At least pag-uusap lang ang ginagawa nila sa banyo. Ikaw nga, eh..."

"Uy, Alexa, h'wag kang magsimula ng issue, ha."

"But, answer me honestly, Ate, were you and Dustin doing it inside the women's comfort room when we had lunch at Gastro Palace?"

"Grabe ka naman!"

"Alam kong may kakaiba kang ginagawa ka sa loob ng cubicle, eh, at ngayong alam ko na kayo na ni Dustin n'ung mga panahong 'yun, it really had me thinking, Ate, na nag-ano kayo n'un sa banyo."

"Ang tsismosa mo talaga, Alexa! Siguro kayo ni Alex nagkikimbyularan sa banyo, ano, kaya gan'yan ka kamaduda?"

"Oo naman," Alexa shamelessly replied. "Lahat ng parte ng bahay. Sa banyo, sa kitchen, sa gym, sa ibabaw ng billiard table, sa hagdan, sa library, sa nursery ng mga bata kapag nand'un sila kay Daddy..."

"Ay, ang lalandi n'yo!" Lia said laughing. "Kami sa banyo pa lang—"

"Sabi ko na, eh!"

"Uy, Alexa, secret 'yun, ah. H'wag mong sasabihin sa asawa mo kasi sigurado akong kapag sinabi mo kay Alex ay makakarating kay Dustin. Isipin pa n'un kiss and tell ako."

"Kiss and tell ka naman talaga."

"Hala s'ya, ang demure ko kaya," Lia said before she and Alexa burst out laughing.

Lee Ann stashed her phone inside her pocket before she splashed water on her face. She wanted to tell her sisters about Precious and her baby but she knew that they'd readily take her side and she didn't want to be unfair to Nick.

Kayo muna ni Nick ang mag-usap, Lee...ayusin n'yo munang dalawa itong problema n'yo...

"Bakit ang tagal mo naman sa loob?" Lia asked as soon as she stepped out of her bathroom. "Sana hindi ka na nagpakahirap na kausapin si Nickolai sa loob at kami na lang ang lumabas dito sa kuwarto mo para bigyan kayo ng privacy."

"Oo nga, Lee," Alexa agreed. "At nasaan na pala 'yun? Pupunta ba s'ya rito para sunduin ka for dinner? Kung hindi ay isasama ka na namin ni Alex mag-dinner. We're eating out with the kids."

"Alexi and Alexanna are coming? Sabay na rin kami sa inyong mag-dinner, Alexa. Na-mi-miss ko na ang mga pamangkin ko."

"Oo ba, Ate Lia. Ikaw, Lee, magbihis ka na kung sasama ka."

"Naku, mga Ate, hindi ako makakasama," Lee Ann said. "May inaasikaso kasi si Nick kaya hihintayin ko s'yang sunduin ako rito."

"Well, pwede namang tawagan ni Alex ang kapatid n'ya para—"

"Hindi na, Ate Alexa," Lee Ann said cutting her sister off.

Alexa immediately frowned. "Is something wrong, Lee?"

"Ha?"

"Are you okay, Lee?" Lia asked pushing to her feet.

Alexa did the same. "Anong nangyari? Nag-away ba kayo ni Nick?"
