"Mommy, we are here." Dolly, who is six years old, yells out as she enters her home; her father enters in after her.

"Shh, sweetie, mommy is sleeping." JM puts his index finger to his lips.

"No, she is not." Dolly shakes her head.

JM looks at her confused. "She was when we left because that is why she didn't come with us." His daughter just looks at him with a sly smile. "What are you two up to?"

"Nothing daddy." She giggles

"Come on, tell daddy." He slightly whines. Dolly shrugs as she takes off her jacket and puts it on the floor. "Dolly." He shakes his head in disappointment.

"I can't tell you, daddy." She ignores her jacket and heads to the living room.

"Your coat, how many times do we have to tell you to hang up your coat when you enter the house?" He reminds her sweetly.

"Too many." She rolls her eyes as she grabs her jacket to hang it.

"Thank you." He smiles as he kisses her head.

"Daddy, question?" She turns to face her father. "Can you tell me why you call me Dolly?" She asks with a quizzical expression.

"Momma never told you." He was sure they had discussion about it before.

"She said to ask you." Dolly smiles trying to stall her father in case her mother needs more time.

"You are not stalling, are you?" He raises his eyebrow very suspicious.

"Please." She pouts.

"You know that only works on me with your mother." He reminds her, even though it does affect him, but his daughter doesn't need to know it.

"Right." She snaps her fingers.

"Nevertheless, I will tell you anyways." He sits on their couch as he pasts his thigh to have her join him. Dolly sits on his thigh as she waits for her requested story. "Ready." He asks his daughter as she gets comfortable in his lap.

"Yes daddy." She nods.

"Sweetie, you are named Dolly because you like a doll just like your mom." JM starts.

"Her name is called Dolly, I thought her name is Barbie." She questions confused with this knowledge.

"It is, we call her Barbie Doll." JM clarifies.

"Daddy, she is quite prettier than my Barbie dolls." She compliments her mother appearance.

"I agree." He nods in agreement.

"So, they called you the Ken to her Barbie." She smiles hearing this from her parents' friends.

"Well, I would say that. Wait, I thought…" He looks down at her as she just realizes that she already knows why she is named Dolly.

"I have to go, daddy." She jumps off and runs before her father could snatch her.

JM just runs his hand down his face. He can't believe he keeps falling for their tricks.

A moment later, he stands up to find his lovingly family.

"Bie." He yells out. Bie is short for Biengot, a name he calls her since their first teleserye together. There is no answer. "Bie" He calls out again. "Barbie." He calls her full name out.

This goes on as he checks each room except their bedroom without any luck. He questions himself if she is even here or if she left as soon as they left.

"Barbie." He opens the door to their bedroom to find her two important women in his life. "Oh, there you two are. You missy will have a talk with me later." He scolds at Dolly, who nods in agreement.

"Em-" It is short for Emerut. "Don't get mad at her." She requests. "We just have some exciting news that I have to prepare for." Barbie covers for her daughter's actions

"You could have told me so I could give you space. You didn't have to pretend to be asleep." He argues not liking being out of the loop.

"Actually, I slept for a bit when you two left and woke up. Actually, I just woke up when our daughter called out." She stretches her arms. "I really didn't set up as I want to for the news." She sighs.

"You are covering for your mother, weren't you?" He asks again to his daughter who nods innocently. "You are forgiven." He smiles knowing how sweet her actions were.

"Really?" JM nods to the surprise of his daughter. "I love you, daddy." She runs to him to hug him. JM prepares her arms for a tight hug before they join Barbie on their bed.

"So, what is the news?" He questions holding Dolly on his lap and another arm around his wife.

"I know our lives have been busy. I know you have backed out on some movies and teleseryes to be with us." Barbie sighs knowing his sacrifices to provide Dolly with a loving environment.

"Bie." He kisses her forehead. "I get upset of course, but you two are my family. I will do anything for you both. Just like I said before that I will do anything for you, that now includes Dolly." He assures her that these sacrifices are his own choice. This calms his wife down a bit, but still anxious on his reaction.

"Well, what would happen if you have another person in that agreement?" She asks cautiously to study his movements

JM shakes his head. "It is not an agreement, it is a… wait." He looks at his wife with a shock expression. "You are not…"

Barbie nods "I am." She smiles hopefully to get the same expression.

JM can't express his excitement fast enough. He hugs his now pregnant wife with their daughter in the middle.

"Daddy, mommy, I can't breathe." Dolly tries to speak out feeling a sandwich in between her parents.

"Sorry, sweetie." JM moves back to give his daughter space to breathe. "You are going to be a big sister." He exclaims very ecstatic.

"Hopefully, it is a girl because boys are icky." Dolly makes a disgusting expression.

"You are right, boys are icky." She signals to her husband.

"Hey, you love this icky boy; both of you." He defends

"Absolutely." Barbie agrees with a kiss to his lips. "Are you sure you are okay with this?" She asks for confirmation knowing that he will keep his feelings in for the sake of his family.

"It will be difficult for me with me just starting a teleserye, but I will… we will make it work. Just like you said nothing is impossible with God." He kisses her hand with a big grin.

"Right. Kaya mo to, tiwala lang." She puts her arm on his chest.

"Right. I love you. Mahal kita." He pecks her lips.

"Mahal kita." Barbie pecks back happy that no matter what as a family they will get through anything.

"Group hug." Dolly requests sitting back witnessing how in love her parents are with each other.

They have a tight family hug as JM kisses the heads of the two important women in his life.
