Dion James Lorenzo is the best HR Consultant in his team. To reward his hard work, he is allowed to use up his accumulated leaves before they get forfeited. When a close friend asks him to house-sit, he packs his bags only to realize it was a set-up so he could meet his friend's neighbor- an old-flame who, unbeknownst to him, happens to be bearing his baby.

Project Manager Jaeyanna Ignacio is used to doing things on her own. But raising a newborn alone while keeping a job to ensure she can pay the bills is a different story. With her parents half-way across the globe, she will need all the help she can get when she delivers her baby. Even if that means reconnecting with her ex who doesn't know about her pregnancy.

Faced with the daunting task of caring for a newborn, Yanna and DJ work together and in the process, rekindles old feelings. But when the demands of parenthood and the lack of trustworthy househelp requires one of them to give up working, they are thrown in the same situation that drove them apart the first time - who is willing to give up a good career?
