Pregnancy is a gift a from God, the most awaited chapter for a woman's life. yet there are so many questions that Nicole thinks during her first trimester. Since she is living with HIV, she is afraid she might pass the virus to her baby, is she been able to give normal life to her. how this will affect to her health and how can she be a good mother after all she have been through.
With an agony in her heart, she asks Marco, "How I am supposed to be happy if there are possibility that I cannot provide a normal life for our child?" tearfully said by Nicole towards Marco. He then stares to Nicole for a while and immediately hold her hand while saying "If we can still live a normal life, we can also give it to our child, we need to as parents. you need to be positive in this and see things in a better way."
They already having their breakfast and Nicole still feels down. "Maybe this is part of my Hormones that I feel this, I overthink a lot and I know it is not good for my pregnancy, Mind you if I can visit my mom after I work so I can have a breath of fresh air?" Nicole asked Marco. He then replied with a big smile "Yeah it is better, will just pick you up in her house, just text me when I will be picking you up." "Oh, sure no worries, thank you for letting me go there." Nicole responded with a smile.
As they already heading to their respective works. Marco is adamant to think things that are out of their hands, he also feels the same way with Nicole however he knew taht if he will tell it to Nicole, she might end up giving up on the possibility to have a better outcome for their family. He needs to be strong for her. Marco immediately texted Nicole, "Keep safe on your way to your office, I love you and let us be strong for our baby."
As Nicole approached near to her office, she sees Terrence from afar and yelled "Wait for me Terrence." she continually yelling while approaching nearly to Terrence. "Is really necessary to yell dear?" Terrence laughingly responded. They both heading to their office. All of Nicole's colleague only knew that she is pregnant but not her HIV status as Nicole didn't want to be discriminated because of it. "How's your pregnancy?" Terrence asked Nicole. "Well, I am experiencing down moments randomly, I overthink a lot lately." Nicole responded with a sad voice. "Whatever it is bothering you it just hormones you need to cut it off as it is not healthy for the baby." He then advices her. Nicole nod and proceed to her work area to work.
It is already lunch time as Nicole craves for a Japanese food so she decided to have her lunch outside with Terrence. Surprisingly while heading to the restaurant, she saw Louie from afar. She stares vigorously as she noticed changes on Louie’s appearance. "Look its Louie." She whispered to Terrence. "Oh, why he looks like that?" Terrence asked. "I really don't know, after the breakout I don't have any news about him." Nicole responded. They both proceed to the restaurant and pretended they didn't notice him. Louie then also sees Nicole but chooses as well to pretend that he didn't see her. Immediately after Nicole ordered their food she immediately decided to just take out the foods and just have their lunch at the office. While they are heading to the office, on her peripheral view she sees Louie is still staring at her.
"Are you not comfortable with Louie all these times?" Terrence asked Nicole while they are walking. "Actually, I am not there are things and situation that became worst because of him." Nicole responded. "But you need to forgive him, you have already had a good life with Marco now." an advice from Terrence. "I already forgave him, but it doesn't mean I need to have communication with Him." Nicole responded with a heavy voice.
After work, Nicole then prepares to head to her mom's house. "Are you now going home?" Terrence asked her. "No, I will have dinner in my mom's house and Marco will pick me there right after. Why?" Nicole responded. "I thought I can ask you to accompany me for a while but that is ok, maybe next time." Terrence politely answered Nicole.
While waiting for a cab Nicole notice that someone is staring at her from the other side of the road. Upon checking it is Louie. She immediately takes her phone and texted Marco "Hey Louie is here in the office; I don't know what he is up to as we have seen him during our lunch earlier." When Marco received her text, he immediately replied saying "What will you do?". Nicole's cab arrived already and she just head to her mom's house. She then checks Marco's reply and replied "Nothing I will do for him, already in the cab, pick me up at around 8pm at mom's house".
Given that Marco is also done with his work he tried going to Nicole's office vicinity if by chance he will see Louie there. Upon arriving he was not wrong he saw Louie at a nearby coffee shop. Louie did see him too. But they both ignore each other. Marco just buys a cup of coffee and head towards to his car. Marco then thinks Louie is into something towards Nicole. So, he drives off to pick up Nicole even if it is too early.
Upon arriving, Nicole’s moms said, "Oh you are here too, join us with our dinner I have cooked plenty of dishes." Nicole to her surprise asked Marco "Why are you so early?" "I don't want to be in our company dinner so I decided to join you here." Marco Responded. They are already done with their dinner and Marco and Nicole will now go home.
In the car, Marco immediately brought up the instance that he is worried about Louie. "After I read your message, I head towards to your office vicinity and saw Louie there also." Marco narrated. "Did he do something to you or notices you?" Nicole asked. "I know he saw me I just pretended not to notice him." Marco Responded.
Nicole is still thinking of what Louie's intent why he is there. A coincidence or there is something he is up to knowing his personality, Nicole is afraid that there is nothing good why he is there.
It is a gloomy day for Nicole. She had a 1-year relationship with Louie. He is her high school best friend and they are college lovers yet they separated ways on their 2nd year as Nicole suddenly fall in love with another man and got separated right after. After Nicole & Louie's college graduation they reconcile and continue their relationship. However, this time, it is no longer as Nicole expected. Louie is now too reserved, too secretive and Nicole happen not to understand him that way. She Tried asking about it but her questions were not answered properly by Louie. That day Nicole decided to join her colleagues for a after dinner party so she called immediately to let him know her plans for tonight. "Hey I will be joining my officemate dinner party tonight; would that be alright with you?" Nicole said. Louie then responded by saying "Yeah just make sure you will not stay up late and go home early." Nicole got frustrated as she is expecting that he will not allow her to join and in
It is holiday, Marco wakes up with thought of Nicole. He smiles and remember that Terrence has able to give Nicole’s mobile number last night. Immediately he grabbed his phone and texted Nicole. “Hi good morning!”. Nicole received the message and replied “Who is this please?” Marco responded immediately, “It is Marco remember?”As she read the confirmation who it is, she then immediately set her phone to airplane mode as she is with Louie. “Who was that,” said Louie. Nicole afraid of telling Louie just nodded and whispered “It is just a client”.Marco didn’t receive any response from her, so he thought maybe Nicole is not really comfortable with him. He looks for Terrence in the Facebook and message him. “Hey Nicole didn’t reply to me.” Marco chatted. Terrence did not reply to Marco either but he chatted Nicole. "What's up with you? did Marco texted you?". "Yeah, I received his text but I am with Louie a while ago." Nicole replied. Few minutes after their conversation. Nicole feels g
It is past 8 in the morning yet Nicole is still in the subway rushing herself to their office. She texted Terrence “I’ll be late a bit sis!”. “Okay will just cover you up to boss, just hurry.” Terrence replied. While Terrence is having coffee on his office desk, Marco chatted him “where are your office located?”. Terrence carefully opens his messenger and replied “It is in N.Y tower dear, why?”. “Can I visit you and Nicole after office hours?” Marco asked. Terrence surprisingly thinks that Marco is really into Nicole so he feels excited and replied, “Will check with Nicole’s plan later will update you!”. Nicole arrived in their office and was noticed by her boss, “Hey Nic you almost forgotten your scheduled shift.” Peter said. “Sorry sir just caught up in the rush hour at the subway will not happen again.” Nicole answered with a sweet smile and then she proceeds into her table. Terrence is laughing terribly towards her and immediately asked her, “Do you have any plans later after wo
Being curious is not a thing to Nicole. As she arrives home, she didn’t bother to rest for a while and was still thinking why Louie suddenly hides things from her. Given that she has all the access to Louie’s social media accounts, she immediately checks all possible things on it. She scrolled and check everything until she notices one conversation with so much deleted chat history. She checks immediately the profile of the person and was surprised that it was the one that was once mentioned to her by Louie whom he worked with one of the branch office Louie assigned. As she pauses and think of the possible things on her head, she remembers a text she receives from a friend that she Louie that day, and beginning to doubt as the office of her friend is near on the branch office Louie was told her about. Immediately she called Louie and wanted to clarify it. "I am at work, will call you later." Louie answered the call. "No this will be quick; I can no longer wait. are you really at the

One night, Marco, still misses her, he wanted to pursue her. tried texting her but Nicole didn't respond. Until he came up to an idea to show up on her home. As she arrives home, her mom says she has a visitor to her surprise it is Marco. "What are you doing here?" Nicole asked. "I just want to formally court you and ask permission to your parents." Marco answered. Nicole stared at her mom. "He actually said already that he will marry you as soon as you permit it to." Mom laughingly said. Nicole's heart beat increase immediately as she asked Louie before she wanted to settle down
