"Ms. Chaelle, I'm sorry if I keep you waited." Mrs. Co said when she reached Michaelle's location. The lady was currently using her phone and sadness is apparent to her pretty face.
Michaelle give her sweetest smile to Mrs. Co before she shook her head.
"It is alright Mrs. Co., Baby Rein is sleeping inside his stroller, so I actually did not mind. "
"By the way Ms. Chaelle, I wanted to try the cable car in going back to the Waterfront." Mrs. Co awkwardly chuckled.
"Really? I thought you are afraid of heights."
"Actually yes, but I think the scenery is great, and it may help me overcome my fear of heights." Mrs. Co said while slowly pushing Baby Rein's Stroller.
"Ok. If that's what you want. You have a point. Honestly, I am also afraid of heights, but I might as well try to overcome it."
After few minutes of walking, they have reached the end of the line for Ocean Park cable car.
"Those with baby companion, you could come in front." The cable car operator said to the guest.
"Ms. Chaelle, I think we could move forward." Mrs. Co suggested.
"Oh, right. I'm sorry, I am quite disoriented." She released an awkward laugh.
When they reached the front, Mrs. Co tell something to the cable car operator. He seems to understand and nodded as a way of agreeing with her. He then looks at the sleeping baby and smile. Chaelle did not notice what Mrs. Co did a while ago. She was busy scrolling her phone, as if she is waiting for someone's message or call.
Since she was kind of disoriented, she did not mind going inside the cable car without noticing that someone followed her after.
"Uhm, Mrs. Co, how about the stroller of Baby Rein, where did you put it?" She said while still on her phone.
"They were at the different cart."
"What?" That is the time that she noticed that someone wearing mask, sunglasses and a panda-like hat is sitting beside her. His face is slightly angle and supported by his right fist.
"Wait! What the-!" She was about to scream and move away from him when he notice the bracelet on his right wrist. "Rein?"
"Yes Baby?" He remove his mask to reveal his handsome face to her.
"What are you thinking?! Dressing up like that! You almost gave me a heart attack!"
He lightly chucked before he moves to Michaelle's side.
"Wait, wait. Don't move. The cart will become uneven. I, I-" She said while pushing him back to his side.
"Are you pretty serious about that?" He again chuckled.
Michaelle just nodded and did not say another word.
"Alright. I'll be staying here." After saying that, a wind blows hard which makes the cable car wobble a little bit. The nervousness that Chaelle felt that time was then double because of the screeching sound of the cable wires while they were moving forward.
"Rein!" She was screaming in fear while her eyes are closed.
"Hush. I'm here baby." He immediately moves back to her side and enveloped her with his embraced.
"Are we going to die?"
"Of course not. Don't worry, they make this cable car considering all this natural occurrence. So, you don't have to be afraid. Plus, I am here, I will not let you die. I will die first before-" He was unable to continue what he is about to say because Michaelle covers his mouth.
"Stop saying that."
"Hmmm?"
"I said, stop saying that you will going to die. Don't say that again or else I will-"
"You will?"
"I will kill you!"
Rein release a hard laugh.
"Either way, I will have the same end. What a tragic end for me."
"Rein, I'm sorry." Michaelle put her hand in front of his chest before she looks at his face.
Rein did not say another word, instead he moves his face closer to her then claimed her lips impatiently.
"hmmm..." Michaelle moaned in between the kisses. She opens her mouth and welcome his tongue.
Rein angle his head to have a better access of her lips. His right hand is supporting her head while his left is on her back.
It was a minute of a passionate kiss before they move their lips away from each other.
"You don't have to say sorry. I am also at fault. I should be more careful not to make anything that might upset you." He said while looking tenderly at her.
"I acted like a child. That is why I am apologizing. Let's forget about what happened." Michaelle caressed his face. "I miss my Rein."
"I miss you too Baby. You don't have any idea how desperate I am to be able to talk to you."
"That's why you connive with Mrs. Co to corner me here?" She pouted her mouth and act as if she is pushing him away.
Rein chuckled and embrace her even tightly.
"I don't really know what to do. Then Mrs. Co suggested this scheme."
"Are you kidding me?"
"Well, I cannot use my brain correctly earlier so you might as well thank her."
Michaelle shook her head in disbelief. But overall, she was grateful to Mrs. Co since the success of her plan made them overcome this silly problem.
"Rein..."
"Hmm?"
"I made my decision."
"Decision of what?"
Michaelle slightly move away from Rein and get something from her bag.
"This is for you." Michaelle put a rectangular box on his palm.
"What is this?"
"I am giving it back." Michaelle calmly said to him.
"Why? I thought we are ok." Rein look at the box. It is the box of his engagement bracelet with her. He plays it with his fingers for a second before he released a heavy sigh. He looks outside before he faced Michaelle.
"I'll accept your decision but tell me first why you dec-" He stops when he noticed her wrist. He did not see the bracelet earlier because Michaelle intentionally hides it inside her long sleeves.
"Yes baby? What are you saying?" Michaelle gave her a mischievous smile.
Rein hurriedly open the box and found it empty.
"You little witch!"
"Is that your new endearment to your fiancée?" She chuckled because her plan is obviously a success.
Rein move his head side to side.
"Laugh all you want. When we get back to our hotel room, I'll make you pay." He seductively whispered to her ear.
"Try me." Michaelle released an awkward laugh.
"No Baby, try me." He looks at her as if he is a hungry animal ready to pound on his prey.
________________
After eating their dinner, Michaelle bid her goodnight to Mrs. Co while Baby Rein is sleeping tightly on her arms. She opens their bedroom door and slowly enters their room.
"I already put the liquid soap into the bathtub. You could take a bath after putting Baby Rein inside his crib." Rein said while he is lying on their bed and uploading picture of the three of them on Baby Rein's Instagram.
"Alright." Michaelle's response without looking at him.
"Princess, Mom and Dad said congrats."
"Your parents? Did you already tell them?"
"Uhmm, actually I told to the 1 million followers of our Baby Rein."
"What do you mean?"
"Check Baby Rein's IG account."
Michaelle gets her phone first and sit on the edge of their bed. The latest post was their Family picture. Rein was holding Baby Rein on his right arm while he was embracing her with his left. Her right hand is holding his left wrist exposing her engagement bracelet.
"My future husband is marking his territory."
"Of course, and making them feel that I am proud of what I have in my life."
Michaelle move to his side and embraced him. "Let's take a bath together."
Rein's eyes double its size because of surprise. "You can't take it back." He immediately heaved her and runs inside the bathroom.
"I won't, but please be gentle with me."
"I can't promise that Baby."
They both chuckled before they closed the bathroom door.

"Chaelle! Welcome back!" KC waved at them as she walks to their direction.
"Hi KC! Are you alone? Where is my brother?" Michaelle kiss her cheeks as her way of greeting her future sister-in-law.
"You know your brother. He is always busy. But don't worry, I am kind of used to it. Anyway, congratulations to the both of you. I heard you officially accepted Dr. Lee's marriage proposal." She looks at the male doctor and smile.
Dr. Rein Lee smiles back while he is holding his son.
"Thanks KC. By the way how is the preparation of your-" She was unable to finish her sentence because she noticed that KC looks pale. "Are you alright KC?"
"I felt dizzy, but I am-" She immediately hold her stomach and mouth. She felt nauseous. Luckily the comfort room is just behind them, so she hurriedly went inside.
Michaelle follows her inside. "KC, how are you?"
"I'm ok. Maybe I ate something that my stomach did not like." KC responded.
"When did you start feeling dizzy and nauseous" Michaelle ask her. She is kind of worried for her sister-in-law.
"Well, I felt this yesterday morning, before I go to bed and today."
Michaelle check her pulse. "Let's go to the hospital to confirm my suspicion."
"What? Am I sick?"
"We can't tell unless we do some test."
"Do I need to call Jeffrey?"
"No, not yet until we get the result. Let's go." She guided KC outside the comfort room where they saw Mrs. Co and Rein patiently waiting for them.
"What happened?" It was a question of Rein to Michaelle.
"We will bring KC to the hospital first before we get back home. I'll call my mother to inform her about the situation. Mrs. Co, please assist KC in going back to the van."
"Baby, is it serious? You look a bit worried."
"Uhmm, I don't know but KC's parents are old fashion and strict. I don't know what will happen to Jeffrey Chen if my suspicion is correct."
"Do you think she is?"
"Maybe yes, or maybe not."
Rein hold her hand and press it lightly.
"Don't worry too much. Relax. Everything will be alright." He smiled at her and kiss her forehead.
"Let's just hope for the best."

"Yes Shobe? Are you here already?" Jeffrey Chen press his back against his office chair.
"Yes, we are in FEGH."
"Oh, why? Did you already read my email about your additional workload?"
"Additional workload?!" She almost yelled on the other line that makes Jeffrey move his phone away from his ear.
"Relax, it is just a an OPD consultation clinic. You don't have to shout like this. And besides, the collected data will help you and Rein finish your research earlier."
"Anyway, let us talk about it later. I called you because of KC."
"KC? What about my beautiful fiancée?"
"We brought her here. She is in the ER right now. So, do your job as her fiancé because we need to go back home."
"What?! Why? What happened to her?!"
"Calm down Ahia. She is fine. Just go to the ER to find it out."
"Don't tell me to calm down. Just tell me what happened to her."
"No. I will not tell you anything. Bye." Michaelle put down the receiver without hearing her older brother's reply.
Jeffrey Chen immediately stand up and run towards the elevator. "I'll make you pay later Shobe for making me worry and for ending the call without my permission"

"Hey Janna, are you going home?"
"Yes Dr. Kang Soo. Why? Are you giving me a ride?" Janna is obviously teasing him.
"I would love to. But I am still on duty. Anyway, I could walk you to where you parked your car."
"You are extra sweet today. What favor are you asking me for?"
"Nothing. Well, if you want me to grant one wish, I will wholeheartedly accept it."
Dr. Janna Won released a hard laugh.
"Don't laugh at me. I'm pretty serious about it." Jin Kang Soo pouted his mouth.
"I know. That's why I laughed."
The two of them were laughing when they notice Dr. Yoon and Dr. Lee walking in front of them.
"That's Dr. Lee and Dr. Yoon. They looked great together. I heard they are already engaged." Dr. Kang Soo looks at Dr. Janna upon releasing the word engaged to see what her reaction will be. He is aware that Dr. Janna has a huge crush on the other male doctor that is why she can't notice other people who are caring for her.
"Yeah. You are right." She smiles bitterly and release a long sigh.
"Are you still not-"
"Kang Soo. Stop." Janna open the door of her car and immediately go inside. She opens her window to bid goodbye to her fellow doctor.
"I'm sorry Dr. Janna. But don't forget that I am here. Waiting for you to heal." Kang Soo said while holding Janna's left arm. He smiles and take a bow before he walks away from her.
Dr. Janna Won was left wondering what Dr. Kang Soo meant when he said those word.

They were inside the van when Michaelle told Rein about the additional workload that his brother assigned to her.
"So, the days that we could work hand-in-hand are the days that you will take the OPD duty?" Rein looks pissed because of the bad news that he has learned.
Michaelle nodded before she gets the sleeping baby Rein form his father. She embraced their child and kiss his forehead.
"Dr. Chen really likes teasing us. That's the only time that we could spend 24 hours a day, and yet he wrecks our schedule. Does he dislike me?"
"Of course not. He really likes you. He said that the data of OPD patients will be used to our research. So, in a way, we could collect ample amount of data and so, we could have extra off to spend time with Baby Rein." Michaelle explained the whole scenario.
"Hmmm. He got a point. So, he really did like me?"
"Want to marry my brother?" She teases him
"Funny Michaelle. Very Funny."
Michaelle did not say a word instead she releases a soft laugh before she leaned her head on his shoulder.
Rein hold her head and kiss the top of her head. "I love you Princess."
"Shhh. You are getting bolder each day. Mrs. Co is sitting just behind us."
"Are you embarrassed?" He released a sweet smile.
Michaelle nodded and turns red.
"You look cute."
"Stop teasing me!"
"Shhh." He puts his finger in front of her lips to stop her from yelling.
"I was tired of getting him to sleep. So please baby, don't put my effort into waste." He grinned at her, but it is more of a sarcasm from him.
"I'm sorry. By the way, do you want to spend the night in your place?"
"I don't think your mother will going to let us do it. Maybe some other time."
"You have a point. You already know my mother in just a short period of time." She look up to see his reaction.
"Yeah. It's easy. Like mother, like daughter." He chuckled then gave her a quick kiss on her lips.
"Rein!" Michaelle can't stop yelling at her because she knows their other companion, Mrs. Co and the driver obviously saw it.
"What?" Rein has no idea why she is getting upset.
"It's ok Ms. Chaelle we did not see a thing, right Mrs. Co?" It was their driver, Mr. Song.
Michaelle smiled and turns red. She covers herself with Rein's jacket which made the three of them burst into laugh.

"Hi, is there a patient named Kassandra Camilla Go here?" Dr. Jeffrey Chen asked the nurse in the reception area of their Emergency Room.
"For a moment Dr. Chen." The nurse looks at the screen of the computer and type the name that Dr. Chen is looking for.
"Ms. Go is in OB ward Doctor. She is in bed 3." She beamed a smile at him upon giving the information he needs.
"OB ward, it is on the left right?" Dr. Chen reconfirmed.
"Yes Dr. Chen. Take the first door on the left."
He was on his way to the ward when he realized that he missed something.
"Something is off. She should be in the medical ward. Why did they put her in the OB ward?"
Doctor Chen go back to the nurse receptionist to reconfirm if she gave her the right information.
"Excuse me."
"Yes Doctor."
"About patient Go. You said she is in the OB ward, right? Are you sure the information is correct? Or do you mean medical ward instead of OB ward."
"Let me check again Doctor." The nurse looks in the screen and then give her a warmest smile.
"If you want to be sure Doctor, you may talk to her attending Physician, it is Dr. Cha."
"Dr. Rose Cha? She is an Obstetrician, right?" Dr. Chen looks confused.
"Yes Dr. Chen."
"Dr. Chen, you are here. Ms. KC Go is in bed 3 waiting for you." It was Dr. Cha who greeted him with a light tap on his back.
Dr. Chen turn around to face the other doctor.
"Dr. Cha, how is KC?" He is more look confused than worried.
"Don't be confused Jeffrey. You both doing it, so it is not impossible that someone will be born out of it." Dr. Cha beamed at him.
"How is she?" He is trying to regain his composure.
"Don't worry, she is fine as well as the baby. Good heartbeat."
"Thank you, Dr. Cha." He did not wait for her response and immediately go to the OB ward where KC is waiting for him.

"How is my little boy? Did you miss grandma?" Mrs. Nica Chen heaved her grandchild from her daughter. They were currently staying at the living room while taking some macaroons and tea.
"Gandma." He smiled sweetly at her.
"You two. Baby Rein will be sleeping in my bedroom and the two of you should make another baby. This time I want a baby girl." Mrs. Nica shamelessly said to the couple.
"Mom! You are being shameless."
"I get really lonely when you took away our Baby Rein. You must make another one before you take another vacation. The youngest will be left at me, so I don't get sad and lonely." Her mother is serious about it.
Rein released a chuckled because he knows that Chaelle is getting pissed.
"Chaelle, please understand your mother. She really loves Baby Rein that's why she said those things."
"Well mother, don't put us in a rush. Another baby is coming so you don't have to pressure us." Michaelle took a sip of her tea without minding what she just blurted out.
"Another baby? Are you already pregnant?"
"Nope. But somebody is."
"Somebody? Who is this somebody?" Mrs. Nica looks confused.
Before Chaelle could said another word, Mrs. Nica Chen's cellphone rings.
"Go on Mom, answer it first, it could be that somebody." She chuckled before she talks to Rein.
"Yes Jeffrey."
"Mom. KC is pregnant."
