Nina, however, didn’t share her bubbly enthusiasm. The two girls even got into an argument over it.
“Daddy lied to you. He brought that woman for a checkup at the hospital, remember? Wait until that woman gives birth, then you’ll know that Daddy is nothing but a liar. He’s the biggest liar in the world!”
“No. Daddy would never lie to me. And he’s not a liar!”
“Yes, he is!”
“No, he’s not!”
“Yes, he is!”
“No, he’s not! He even told me to tell you to rest well and said that he is going to come visit you. Nina, Daddy cares about you so much, but you said all those terrible things about him. You’re horrible!”
Maya, who was initially in high spirits after the phone call with her Daddy, couldn’t stand it when Nina badmouthed Evan and hence, began arguing with Nina.
Nina wasn’t about to back down either. “You’re horrible! You’re a traitor for going behind Mommy’s back to help Daddy. You should just let Daddy take you away so that you can live with that bad woman and evil daddy.”
“You go live there! You’re too much, Nina!”
“No. You’re too much, traitor!”
“Well, you’re mean! You’re evil…”
Their childish squabble managed to catch Nicole, Kyle and Juan’s attentions.
“What’s going on? What are the two of you fighting about?”
“Mommy, Maya secretly called Daddy. She’s a traitor!”
Nina announced it with her chin raised.
Maya twisted her chubby fingers together as she fell silent. Then, she abruptly wailed, “I’m not a traitor! Mommy, Daddy said he’s gonna come visit Nina. He even said that he wasn’t gonna have another baby. Not even one!”
Silence ensued.
They went for a pregnancy checkup, so of course they’re having a baby.
