R: *running after M* I don't know! Hold it, hold it! *grabs M by the waist to hold her down* Saglit nga.. kalma please love, What is happening?

M: *panic look in her eyes* I need my phone RJ! Let me go!

R: *closes his eyes and takes a deep breath* Nicomaine sit down, now. I think your phone is in your bag. I will get it downstairs. But you have to stay here while I go get it ok? Ok? You have to promise me you will stay here. Promise me first.

M: Okay.. *sits down on their bed*

R: *runs downstairs to get M's bag and runs back up again* Here you go.. *hands phone over*

M: *frantically opens her phone, search through her apps, opens one and stares at it* Shit shit shit! This can't be! *sits down again on the bed covering her eyes with one hand* Teka, baka mali lang. *re-starts her phone, opens up an app and stares at it again* Fuck! I am so dead! Shit shit!!

R: Teka nga! Ano ba talagang nangyayari? Tell me Maine, ano?!

M: *hands her phone to R* Look..

R: *takes M's phone* What am I suppose to be looking at??

M: Look at the date today! *points at the app*

R: Today's February 7. So what?

M: I was suppose to get my period a week after your birthday! In January! That's my period tracker app! It's already February RJ!

R: Oh.. OH!

M: God RJ.. what if?

R: *deep breaths* Okay.. okay.. let's not jump into conclusions. Di ba meron namang mga home tests? Wait here bibili ako.

M: Teka I think I still have a few from last year's remember. Di pa naman siguro expired yun. It should be in the bathroom.

~~In their bathroom~~

M: Ok now what do we do?

R: You tell me, pano ba ginagamit yan? Kelangan ba talaga lima?

M: Best of five. Okay, I need to pee on those sticks.

R: Okay, go wiwi ka na.

M: With you here??

R: Maine.. *gives M the look* Asawa mo ko. There's nothing in there that I haven't seen before. Repeatedly.

M: Iihhh..

R: Sige na! I'll hand you the tests.

M: Fine! Pag walang lumabas na wiwi bahala ka. *sits on the toilet and pees on the five sticks one by one* There. Buti nalang na wiwi na din ako. *washes hands* Now we wait. Mag set ka ng timer.

R: For how long?

M: Where are the boxes? Andun yung instructions on how many minutes. Set ka ng limang alarm.

R: *looks at each box and sets alarm accordingly* Done.

M: Okay.. *sits on the cashmere rug on their bathroom floor wringing her hands and staring at the wall*

R: *sits infront of M* Hey love.. love.. * holds M's hands* look at me.. whatever happens we're in this together. Mag asawa tayo, kung may mabuo, normal yun. Isn't that part of being married? To propagate the species? *smiles*

M: *gives R a tight smile* Wrong timing eh. *closes her eyes*

R: Wala naman yatang right time para sa mga ganito, pag binigay, eh di binigay. Halika nga.. *sits M on his lap and hugs her* I love you, always remember that. Kahit san tayo makarating kahit san tayo umabot, magkasama tayo. *kisses M*
