This won't focus much on TB.

"You're gonna be a Kuya na Charlie."
Bea said to their corgi while caressing her growing bump. It was a peaceful afternoon and she was relaxing on their veranda while waiting for her husband to come home.
She heard the sliding door opened then she felt someone hugged her from the back.
"Kumusta ang babies ko?"
"We're good daddy" she said using her baby voice.
Umikot si Thirdy sa harapan at lumuhod upang maging kalebel ang tiyan ni Bea.
"Daddy's so excited to see you baby, pero behave ka muna dyan sa tiyan ni mommy ha." he said while looking at his wife's baby bump lovingly while gently caressing it.
Charlie went closer and barked and wagged his tail.
"Kuya Charlie is also excited to see you." They both laughed while petting the dog.

Thirdy just got off from his car but he can already hear Charlie's bark from inside their house, it wasn't his usual bark kapag nagpapalaro o naglalambing so he panicked.
Bea was on her 9th month of pregnancy but her due date was not until two weeks. Siya lng mag isa sa bahay noong mga oras na yun dahil umuwi ang helper nila because of an emergency sa pamilya nito at si Thirdy naman ay lumabas for an errand.
Ayaw niyang iwan si Bea na mag isa as much as possible. He was on his way home and he was about to start the engine of his car when he received a call from his wife but when he answered it no one was talking from the other line, all he can hear was Charlie's barks. His heart raced at nagmadali siya para makauwi.
When he got into their house he saw Bea standing near the stairs, looking down at her huge bump and then at him.
"Love, m-manganganak na ako."
In no time they were already on their way to the hospital, leaving Charlie with one of their closest neighbors.
After hours of labor, Bea gave birth to a healthy baby girl. They named her Thalia Beatrice.
--
"Charlie, this is baby Thali, you take care of each other okay?"
They were now home after spending a few days at the hospital and no one was happier than their doggo, he sure missed them.
Thali was nothing short of a blessing to the couple. Their house became happier and livelier with her around. Even Charlie became more makulit and energetic.
--
Thali and Charlie practically grew up together. Charlie even saved Thali's life once.
Bea went downstairs and left the two year old girl to their helper pero nalingat ito sandali at hindi pala nasarado ng maayos ang pintuan ng nursery.
Bea rushed upstairs when she saw her daughter at the edge of the stairs, her heart was racing as she was making her way upwards dahil alam niyang kahit anong pagmamadali niya ay malaki ang possibility na hindi niya ito maaabutan. Thali was about to fall when something stopped her. Turned out Charlie tugged on her shirt preventing her from falling.
Thali was already 5 years old pero hindi pa rin siya nasusundan dahil naging busy ang mag-asawa sa kani-kanilang career at pagpapalago ng business nila. Thali and Charlie were always together, the dog was her bestfriend and playmate.
--
"Hey bud, how are you?"
Bea said as she went near Charlie. Kakauwi lang niya from their training at hinihintay nalang niya ang mag ama niya, sinundo kasi ni Thirdy si Thali sa Cainta. Their Mama Mozz and Papa Bong requested kung pwede nilang mahiram si Thali for a day, dahil namimiss na daw nila ito.
