Lock, stock and six smoking barrels (Part 1)

Start from the beginning
                                        

Unfortunately, it only lasted for about half hour. At 3 AM, it was Sebastian Ryden's turn to wake up and cry. Maine picked him up and held him against her shoulder, trying to calm him. Suddenly, Sebby started coughing and then Maine felt something warm and wet on her back. She pulled Sebby off her shoulder, knowing exactly what had just happened. Sebastian had thrown up all over himself, his mother and on the floor.

M: Oh my poor Sebby.. tahan na baby ko, let's get you cleaned up. *she walked into the bathroom to clean both of them up. She noticed that Sebby was also feeling warm to touch which warranted another battle with the thermometer and medicine taking*

She brought Sebby back into the bed who promptly burst into tears the minute his mommy set her down. It's a miracle Siegfried hasn't woken up from Sebastian's noise yet.

M: One minute baby.. *she said as she hurriedly pulled on new pajama bottoms and a camisole top. She picked Sebby up, trying to calm the miserable baby*

Maine hated waking the other household helpers up in the middle of night. But she needed help in changing the sheets and cleaning the floor. Of all the days this had to happen, her two most trusted caregivers when it comes to her kids are both gone. Mama Virgie is with Lolo Danny. Lolo's caregiver had an emergency in the province and had to go home. Lola Linda is currently in the States so Mama Virgie had to help out in Nuvali. Which is okay if Bulacan didn't have their own emergency earlier today. Yaya Pearly had to go to Bulacan to help out with with her sister Coleen who's currently 8 months pregnant with her second baby. Her husband broke his leg on a motorbike accident. Stupid man she thinks, he was rough-housing with Kuya Nico and Kuya John when he fell off the bike doing dumb stunts. Another reason to thank her lucky stars that her Richard is a sensible man. Nanay and Tatay couldn't help out as they are currently in Paris for a week for their wedding anniversary trip which is a gift to them by the Faulkerson couple.

M: *buzzes the intercom* Ate Josie.. Ate Josie.. Ninay.. gising muna please..

Josie: *waking up as the intercom rang and crackled with M's voice* Po? Yes Ma'am? Ninay gising! Si Ma'am nasa intercom. Ninay huy! *throws a pillow towards the sleeping Ninay*

Ninay: *woken up by the thrown pillow* Hmm.. bakit ba? *sounding annoyed*

M: Ninay? Sorry ha pasensya na talaga. Kelangan ko lang ng tulong.

Ninay: *realizing that it was the Madam's voice on the intercom* Ay Ma'am?? Kayo po yan? Ay naku Ma'am sorry po! Ano po yun? Akyat na po ako eto na po.

M: Pasensya na sa istorbo alam kong masarap tulog nyo kaya lang si Sebby sumuka eh. Kelangan palitan yung sheets at linisin yung lapag. Nilalagnat ang kambal eh. Ayaw bumitaw sakin.

Josie: Ay hala! Dadalhin na po natin sa ospital Ma'am? Gisingin ko po sila Aga saglit lang po!

M: Hindi naman kelangan ng ospital, di ba nag vaccines sila kanina. Side effects yung lagnat. Pinunasan ko na naman na at pinainom ng gamot.

Josie: Naku wawa naman kambal. Sige po Ma'am eto na po akyat na po kami.

M: Salamat ha. Pasensya na talaga. *as Seb continous to whimper in the background*

Then after an hour, with her twin boys finally settling back to sleep, Maine thought she'll be able to finally catch some sleep. Wishful thinking it seems. At 4 AM, she happened to glanced at the nannycam for Athena Celestine and saw her six year old daughter sitting up in bed rubbing her eyes and seems to be crying. She walked fast to Aycee's room.

M: *enters Aycee's room* Aycee love? Are you okay?

Aycee: Mommy.. *sniffs then sneezes*

M: Oh no.. are you coming down with a cold baby? *feels Aycee's forehead* okay good, no fever pero it looks like you are coming down with a cold.
