The day went by with Alberto and Vega’s mother taking turns taking care of Vega and her children until Vega and her children were able to return home from the hospital. After he arrived at the house, Vega’s mother helped Alberto organize his things.
Then, Vega’s mother permitted to leave. “I’m sorry! I must go home now because I must take care of your dad!”
“Okay, Mom. Thank you for helping me!” Vega thanked her.
After that, Vega’s mother left them. At that time, only Vega and Alberto took care of their children.
Their lives began to change completely. When Vega had just fallen asleep, suddenly she heard the sound of crying from one of her babies.
Vega immediately woke up and walked towards the crib. Then, she gave breast milk, but the baby continued to cry. She immediately checked the condition of the baby while she continued to breastfeed.
“The diaper isn’t full yet. There’s no dirt. Why is the baby crying?” thought Vega.
She tried to find out. Not long after, she found the baby had been bitten by a mosquito.
After that, she gave medicine for being bitten by mosquitoes to her baby. Not long after, the babies fell asleep.
After that, Vega sterilized equipment for her babies to drink milk, such as baby pacifiers, baby bottles, and breast pumps. Then, she started pumping her milk with a breast pump.
She put her breast milk in baby bottles. Then she put the baby bottles in a sterile place.
After that, Vega fell asleep. Meanwhile, Alberto continued to look after the baby while he did the chores. Occasionally, he helps take care of her babies by changing diapers, giving Vega milk to her babies, bathing the babies, and other things.
Vega’s babies started crying again at night. Alberto was sure that the babies were hungry.
Alberto immediately looked for Vega’s breast milk, but he found none. He immediately looked for formula milk in the kitchen.
After that, he immediately made formula milk for his babies until Tirso fell fast asleep. However, Telmo cried even louder, even pooping.
Alberto immediately cleared Telmo’s poop. After that, he walked straight to Vega.
Then he undressed Vega. After that, he allowed Telmo to drink Vega’s breast milk, and Telmo didn’t cry anymore because he fell asleep.
Suddenly, Vega immediately woke up because she felt the sensation of her breasts being sucked. After that, she felt confused.
What’s the matter? That was what Vega thought.
She was confused about what was happening. After that, she found Telmo, who had fallen asleep while drinking Vega’s breast milk.
Alberto immediately woke up because he felt Vega was awake. Afterwards, he apologized to Vega.
“Vega, I’m sorry! The baby must breastfeed because I’ve given formula milk but he cried even louder and pooped.”
“Indeed, what time is it?” Vega frowned as she felt confused.
She has stocked ten bottles of milk. That should be enough for her babies.
“Five o’clock in the morning, Vega.” Alberto answered with his eyes narrowed because he felt sleepy.
After that, Alberto yawned. Meanwhile, Vega’s eyes immediately bulged because she felt so shocked.
“What? Five o’clock in the morning? Does that mean I’ve been sleeping for a long time?” She asked in surprise.
“Yes.” Alberto agreed, and soon Alberto fell asleep.
Vega was very shocked. She really didn’t expect that Alberto would let herself sleep for so long.
“Wow! How can? Why do you let me sleep for that long time?” Those questions made Alberto wake up.
“I want to let you sleep and take more rest, Honey. Today, you must teach your students. I’m worried that you’re not strong enough.” Alberto explained the reason.
“But you also have to go to college. How will you be on campus?” Vega was confused.
“I’ll just sleep in class. Whether I pay attention or not, my grades will still be bad, really,” complained Alberto.
“Alberto, you can’t be like that!” Vega was angry.
“So, what should we do? You want to leave your babies with a babysitter? No, right?” Alberto knew that Vega didn’t want to hire a babysitter to help them handle their babies.
Since their marriage, Alberto and Vega have often debated the issue of taking care of their babies with a babysitter. Alberto wants their babies to be taken care of by a babysitter so they won’t feel too tired, but Vega wants to take care of the babies alone.
She feels distrustful of the babysitter. She feels that Alberto can have an affair with the babysitter.
“No, Honey. I want to make sure all the babies are safe with me, because a lot of babysitters are bad and cruel, Honey. I’m afraid our babies are being mistreated by them.” Vega explained her reasons.
“How about if our babies are treated badly?” Vega asked Alberto again.
“Therefore, we have to take care of the two of them, even though we feel very tired.” Alberto replied, which left Vega speechless.
“Yes. You’re right, Honey.” Vega agreed with Alberto’s opinion.
“I’m going to sleep now, Honey! If later the clock shows six o’clock in the morning, please wake me up!” Alberto asked, and soon Alberto fell asleep.
“Yes, Honey. Thank you for taking care of my babies!” Vega thanked him.
After that, she found Alberto was already snoring. She saw the black eye bags on Alberto’s face.
She smiled immediately and said to Telmo. “Telmo, you must be proud of your father! He’s a great dad! He didn’t even sleep because he took care of you and your brother.”
After giving Telmo his feed, Vega rested Telmo in his crib, and he got ready for the morning. However, half an hour later, Telmo was crying again, which made Alberto wake up and held him.
Vega immediately went to Telmo’s place. Then, she found Telmo, who had fallen asleep in Alberto’s arms.
“Alberto, go to sleep! You’ve only slept for half an hour,” said Vega.
“No need, Honey. I already feel refreshed,” said Alberto. After that, he carried Telmo while he made coffee.
“Honey, just sleep now! There’s still a half hour to sleep. If you only sleep for a half hour, your head will feel really dizzy!” asked Vega.
That made Alberto can only obey. After that, he went to his room.
Then he slept on the bed while he carried Telmo. A half hour later, Vega woke Alberto. After that, they prepared and got ready to go to campus.
Alberto also didn’t forget to drink a cup of black coffee so he wouldn’t fall asleep in class. At that time, Vega left her babies with Nena.
While on campus, Alberto became unfocused. He had fallen asleep in class several times, but luckily no one knew Alberto was sleeping.
