M: You know very well na I will still get up and check on them. Mas makakatulog ako ng maayos knowing you and all my children are here with me where I can see all of you. Let them stay here, at least for tonight.
R: *sighs* Hay antigas talaga ng ulo. Tapos nagtataka pa kanino nagmana mga anak nya. Fine.. dito na kung dito. *shakes his head*
Two hours later:
All was quiet in the dimmed master's bedroom, only one bedside lamp is half-lit. Their daughter Aycee is sleeping in the middle, while Richard and Maine has one twin each sleeping in their arms. The two olders boys are also fast asleep on the bedrolls on the carpeted floor.
M: *looking at R* However did we get here? *chuckles*
R: To be honest? I don't know. One minute we just found out we're having Thirdy, next thing we knew, we got five! *laughs*
M: *laughs then sobers as Sieggy stirs in her arms* Shh..
R: *whispers* Oops sorry.. teka baba ko na sila sa lapag so you can sleep. You're suppose to be resting. *as he carries each child to their bedrolls already laid out on the carpeted floor*
M: *finally alone in bed with R* Haay.. It's been a looong day. *closing her eyes and snuggling in her husband's arms lightly brushing her nose on his chest*
R: I'm sorry you had such a bad day. I should have been here. This will be the last time that I will leave without you ng ganun katagal. Unless you and the kids go with me, it's a no.
M: Nagkasabay sabay lang naman, it's not always like this. Full moon yata eh. *softly chuckles*
R: *smiles* Ayoko na din magbyahe napapagod na din ako. All set na naman tayo. We have Mcdo and the restos, We co-produce films, you dabble with script-writing and I with directing, we have 5 percent of shares sa EB, hindi naman na siguro tayo magugutom nun ano? *chuckles* I'm not getting any younger na din, di lang halata *grins* Let the new artistas have their turn. Majority of my time should be spent with you and the kids instead and that's what I'll do starting now. *hugs M* Are you feeling better na?
M: A little bit. Maka idlip lang ako siguro ko kahit konti I will be fine.
R: Ma.. Do you want more kids?
M: Ha? Kulang pa ba tayo? *laughs*
R: No, I mean do you still want more kids? Kasi I was thinking nung kausap tayo ni Jen kanina, na nahihirapan ka na. We already have five na ubod ng lilikot tapos meron pang darating na isa. If you want to stop na after number six is born it's fine by me. I talked to Jen din kanina and I asked what some options are. Meron daw itatali yung mga tubes mo whatever that means, meron din may birth control implants, or I can opt for a vasectomy para di naman laging ikaw. Whatever you want Love. Your body, your choice.
M: Thank you Love.. I've read some stuff about it. Yung percentage daw ng high-risk pregnancies goes up as a woman age goes above 30's. Medyo napaisip na din ako. And I've had six pregnancies, well five since the twins count as one, in the last 10 years. That's an average of one every years. Masyado tayong productive, Mahal.. *softly laughs*
R: I know, inaakit mo ko kasi eh alam mong marupok ako.. *laughs*
M: Talaga ba? Sino kaya yung kahit eight months na tiyan ko ayaw parin ako tigilan? *eyebrows raised and staring at R*
R: *laughs* O sige na ako na marupok. Ang sexy mo naman kasi Ma lalo na pag buntis ka, ang bango bango pa. Kakagigil! *tightens his arms around M and kisses her.
M: Hay nako mister, matulog na nga tayo at baka kung san pa mapunta usapan natin, andyan lang ang mga bata sa lapag o!
R: *laughs* Ma, I know better than to give in sa pang aakit mo sakin tonight. kahit anong gigil ko syo at na-miss kita ng one week. *laughs, hugs and kisses M again*
M: Hoy gago ka.. *punches R's arm*
R: *laughs again then sobers* But seriously Mahal, you need to rest and sleep, kaya sige na please matulog ka na, It's my turn to keep an eye out on the kids. Good night Mommy, I love you so much. Thank you for everything. Hands up na talaga ko sayo Ma, Super Woman or Captain Marvel can't hold a candle to you. We have our own Super-Mommy Maine! Yehey! *smiles and kisses M*
M: Number one fan talaga kita *chuckles*
R: Always Ma, mula noon hanggang ngayon, in all ways every day. I love you.. * kisses M*
M: I love you too.. *kisses R back*
R: Sleep na Ma.. *snuggles with M and closes his eyes*
Twenty minutes later, a tiny sneeze broke the silence followed by a tiny voice calling out "Mommy.." in a teary voice.
M: *open her eyes and looks around the half-lit room settling her sight on her husband beside her who's now snoring his head off, smirks and whispers to herself* So much for keeping an eye out for the kids. Sya daw magbabantay eh ayan nahabol na ng jetlag. Sige I'll take this one, next round gigisingin na kita *shakes her head and smiles to herself* Mommy's here Aycee love, just a moment. *and stands up from the bed*
