Chapter 28: Chapter 27

"Laurene! Didn't I say to stay inside? Why are you out there again?!" Grandma shouted. I'm just enjoying the breeze on the terrace.

"I'm just here, Lola. It's nice," I replied, gesturing down to her.

"You! You might get caught by the owner! It's your due date, but you still climbed up there?!"

It's hard for me to move because of my due date, but I wanted some fresh air. I just scratched my head and held my big belly. It's really hard for me to stand and sit because my hips hurt. I just forced myself to stand up because Lola's been scolding me all day.

"Ornasyo! Bring this girl down here, she climbed up again!" Lola yelled to Lolo who was cleaning the tricycle he uses every day. It's already afternoon and it looks like the tire of Lolo's tricycle broke again.

I saw Lolo put down his tools and walk towards where I am. There's a staircase here going up so they were worried I might fall.
