"Wow, I crave to see the picture, Mia. Did she glitter?"
"I bet her bare skin is a lollipop,"
Can't help with the feeling, Mabel lazily slump on the couch, "What a world of enchantment."
"If I was to be her fiancé, I would wrap her in my arms for the rest of my life so that those hyenas out there won't try to trespass." Mia frowned.
"You think?"
"I did some research about her man. Girlfriend, he is hot, handsome, refined, gosh, name it! Pardon me, am a married woman but my parents told me that when someone sees something good, you acknowledge it, praise it with some credits and that's what I did, right?"
Nodding her head in agreement, "Hmm, I guess your husband is not in the house, am I right?" Mabel smiled.
"Absolutely."
"If–" Stopping midway when a knock startled her, "Mia, I'll call you back. Sounds like I have visitors."
"Okay girlfriend, chat me up later." She stated and hung up.
Mabel made her way towards the door. She was startled a second when she saw a familiar face outside. Instantly, she shut the door at his face but there he hold on to the knob and forcefully break in.
"What do you want?" Her heart pounds faster as she began to move backward. Her eyes flicked on the table knife inside the bowl of fruits. She took it at once and pointed it at him. "Don't come any closer!"
He quietly lift his hands above his head and went down on his knees with tears gathered in his eyes.

Los Angeles
Sebastian and Jin-joo's place
In the Gym
"169....170...171...172....173...you're too fast, honey." Jin-joo snapped at Sebastian who was busy doing push-ups with one hand and the other placed on her while she's lying on his back.
"My bad." He breathe faster. "For the time we kept talking, it's obviously 180."
"Hmm," She nodded while sipping her strawberry smoothie with a straw.
When he got to 200, she asked him to stop and he did and stood up after her. Sweats was allover him from head to toes. His black silky fitted bodycon top which was hugging his muscular body was now wet and drippy.
She handed him a 1ltr bottle of water, he gulped the entire content in one go. After that, he tossed the empty bottle aside and placed his hands on his waist with his starryeyed gaping straight into hers.
"Ah, you're beautiful even with that extra large stomach of yours."
"Oh don't just stand there and compliment me. Next time, don't do that. Everytime you use me and the babies as your weightlifting tools. Lifting six persons at a time. Do you want to die?" She complained and place her both hands behind her waist to support her posture.
As the day goes by, her stomach increases in size and her weight expands the more. She's not due yet and her stomach looks like semi due delivery.
Most of her dress are unable to fit in her. Sebastian will have to go to one of her favorite boutiques in the country and shop it for her. Now she now wears loose fitting clothes and maternity gowns. Just like Nelly, Chung-Cha, Tasha, Anastasia and every pregnant woman.
Right now, she's putting on a light loose fit crop top which exposes the baby bump and a pair of lemon-black sneakers and black loose fit joggers which matches with the top she's wearing.
Her hair is tied into a messy bun and she has no make-up on. Yet, she looks beautiful and attractive towards any man.
"Hell no, I will never compare you guys to nonliving objects." He kissed the top of her head and slouch to kiss her stomach as well. "You guys are my family, you get that?"
"Seb, that was too much? What is there to exercise for when you have everything it takes to be a complete man?" She's tired of nitpicking all the time and scolding him to take some break from daily exercises.
"Why?" He inquired with his brows lifted.
She rolled her eyes and chuckled. "This man, you won't get it straight, do you?"
