"Hindi ko talaga maintindihan kung bakit nilihim mo yon sa amin, babae ka!" Amanda listened to Jessica scold Olivia when they were on the van on their way home.

They immediately decided to go home when Olivia's nanny called her saying that her twins are being sent to the hospital because of high fever that won't go away.

"Mauunawaan ka naman namin kung hindi ka sumama kasi may mga anak kang inaalagaan. Hay, sumasakit bangs ko sayo!" Jessica groaned and almost slapped Olivia who was crying nonstop because of worry. "Kumalma ka nga!"

Amanda frowned at how her friend scolded Olivia.

"Wag mo kasi sigawan, 'di ba!" Amanda exclaimed slapping Jessica's thigh.

Olivia was seated between them and Amanda could only hug her for comfort.

"Wala na ba tayong mas ibibilis pa, hon?" Leni asked her boyfriend.

"We can't do that. Baka mauna pa tayo sa ambulansya pag ginawa ko yun." Stuart said in his British accent. "Just comfort her while I drive us there."

"Tahan na, friend. Hindi ko pa man nakikita ang kambal, feel ko na strong sila. Kaya chill ka lang ha." Leni said, turning to face them and touched her leg in assurance.

Kumalma naman si Olivia at tanging mga hikbi nalang ang maririnig sa kanya.

"Gaano pa ba tayo kalayo, hon?" Leni asked impatiently.

"An hour if there is no traffic." Stuart answered.

"Can we go at any drive thru place? Hindi mabuting walang laman mga tiyan natin pag punta doon." Amanda suggested.

"There's a McDonald's place kilometers away from here. I'll drive there to get us food." Stuart said and looked at her in his rear view mirror.

"Thanks, guys. Sorry." Olivia said in a small voice and wiped her tears.

Amanda kept silent and continued comforting her. Jessica chose to stay quiet because she could only say words of discouragement.

That has become Jessica's attitude whenever a crisis comes to her. She tends to be pessimistic and a cussing machine.

Amanda only became close to them over a year ago besides the fact they have known each other for three years. She started learning their behaviors only recently. And now that Olivia is in a fragile state, she can't help not to observe once again her friends' reactions and advices.

After about twenty minutes, they were munching on burgers, fries and coke float as Stuart continued driving to the hospital.

Leni, as a loving and caring girlfriend, fed her boyfie as he maneuvered the car to their destination.

"Thank you sa food, Jessica." Leni smiled turning to look at her.

"Pasalamat kayo, ganito ako pag na-iistress ang ganda ko." Jessica glared and continued eating.

"To naman. Pasmado ka na naman." Amanda joked and punched her on her arm careful not to touch Olivia's skin. Olivia tends to be sensitive thess days. She wouldn't want to provoke any emotion from her as of the moment. She didn't even bothered to ask what's going on between her and Mr. Jin. She decided there's another time for that. Right now, Olivia's kids are more important.

Amanda chose to admire the city lights outside while letting her ear hear the other's noises.

Amanda could hear Stuart talking into the phone with some guy named David probably asking for shortcuts and directions. She could also hear Jessica and Leni talking.

Amanda sighed and tried to nap along the way.

It was only ten minutes before Stuart parked his car in the hospital's garage when she can hear her friends stormed out to the emergency door.

Quickly, Amanda closed the door and followed them.

"Antonio siblings is at room 612, Ma'am." She heard the nurse assigned said to Leni.

The group immediately went to the elevator and waited til it reached the desired floor.

Clutching her bag, Amanda noticed that there were a couple older than her parents standing and talking to a man in his thirties outside Olivia children's room.

Amanda's forehead creased and a vision seemed to come to her. The couple looked familiar to her but she can't quite put a finger on it.

"Oli, anak." The older woman hugged Olivia as soon as she came to them. "The kids are in their room, sleeping. They were calling for you but we told them that you'll be coming soon so they fall asleep."

"Kamusta na po sila?" Olivia asked and looked at her parents with teary eyes.

"The doctors said that it's probable dengue since on and off daw ang lagnat nila according to Yaya Lani." Olivia's mother said and comforted her daughter. She noticed Olivia's friends and smiled at them.
"You must be Olivia's friends. Come inside. I'll send you dinner."

"Mga kaibigan ko po pala, Ma. Sila Stuart, boyfriend po ni Leni. Leni, Jessica and Amanda." Olivia introduced them one by one and they all went inside.

Olivia's parents got their grandchildren a private room which was bigger than Amanda expected.

There was even a small couch and a small table for visitors to put their foods and/or well wishes to the patient.

There were two hospital beds for the twins to rest comfortably as they recover.

Both the twins have fair complexion and cute pointed nose. There eyes seem to be a little slanted, which possibly inherited from their father.

Olivia touched the girl's cheek and kissed it. She did the same to the boy.

The kids seem to notice it and they instantly woke up.

"Mommy!" the twins said in unison as they both started to sit.

"Careful!" Olivia said in her mommy tone as she helped the girl sat up. Their nanny, must be Yaya Lani, helped the boy sat up. "Kamusta ang babies ko? Where does it hurt?"

The girl pointed her chest while the boy placed a hand over his forehead.
They pouted almost at the same time.

"Ang cuuuuteeeee!!!" Jessica exclaimed and the twins look at her in surprise.

The twins looked at each other and started crying.

"Ano ka ba, bakla!" Leni slapped Jessica while Stuart laughed hilariously on the chair. Amanda laughed and wiped her tears at the corner of her eyes.

"Natatakot sila sa 'yo!" Amanda chuckled and simply checked her phone inside her bag.

"Hush, Olga and Oliver. They are mommy's friends." Olivia said and wiped her kid's tears.

Olivia introduced them and Jessica smiled shyly, her face red with embarrassment.

Leni giggled with Stuart hugging her from behind as they were seated. Amanda sat on a separate chair with Jessica.
