Irene's POV

"Bumangon ka na diyan Greg, nasa baba ang parents mo. Magdamit ka bilisan mo." I slightly kicked my sleeping husband as I put a shirt on, his shirt.

"What?" inaantok siyang tumingin sa'kin at tumitig.

What the hell? Bingi ba 'to? Ang klaro ng sinabi ko. I know he's already awake kanina pa.

"Get up and put your clothes on because your parents are downstairs. Ano, kailangan pang ienglish?" I hissed.

He protruded his lips as he slowly rise up from bed. "When I come out, be sure na nakabihis ka na ha" I told him as I make my way to the bathroom.

As I entered the bathroom, my eyes are locked on the toothpaste. Agad akong lumabas hawak ito. "Gregorio! How many times do I have to tell you na don't push the toothpaste in the middle? Ano ba!"

He looked at me in shock, kakatapos lang isuot ang shirt niya. He then walked towards me, "Hey," he held my hand. "Aga-aga ang init-init ng ulo mo" masuyo niyang pinatakan ng halik ang iba't ibang parte ng mukha ko.

"I don't care how early it is right now. Why did you--" I stopped talking when he met my lips and giving me a tender and passionate kiss.

"I love you" he whispered just few inches away from my lips. He then bowed down and faced my stomach, "Good morning baby, why is mommy so grumpy again hmm?"

I sighed. "Bwisit ka." He really know too damn well how to handle my mood swings. Nakakainis na nakakakilig.

"Go na. I'll wait for you here, sabay na tayong bumaba." he chuckled.

Just like what he said, sabay kaming bumaba kanina.

"Good morning Greggy, good morning Irene!" It was Mama Emma who greeted us first as soon as they saw us coming down the stairs. She went towards us and gave us a hug, "And good morning to my apo" paghaplos niya sa tiyan ko.

"Good morning Ma, what brings you here early in the morning?"

"Oh, your mom wanted to see you two. I mean three" his dad chuckled.

"Hey! Anong me? You insisted kaya!" sagot naman ng asawa.

"Whatever. Anyways, we cooked you breakfast. Hinahanda na ni Nanay Lucille. Let's just wait for Gwyneth, she bought something outside lang" Papa added.

I started to call them Mama and Papa ever since Greggy and I got married. I already call my own parents Mommy and Daddy and I decided to not call the same with Greg's parents and gladly, they understand where I'm coming from.

"You let Gwyneth go outside alone?" eksaheradang tanong pa ni Greg.

"She used my car. Don't worry too much, saglit lang naman siya" sagot ng ama.

"What? You let her drive too? Mommy? Pumayag ka?" he glanced at his mother.

"Don't over react nga Gregorio. It's not as if your sister is still a minor 'no! She can handle herself, we trust her. Ang OA mo" Mama uttered.

Agree. Ang OA niya.

"Ate Irene!" maya-maya pa ay umalingawngaw ang matinis na boses. Oh, good, she's here na.

She came to hug me and just like what her mom did, she caressed my tummy.

We had our breakfast afterwards and they left after it. They didn't stayed for long since they have things to do pa. They just dropped by kanina to visit us.
