Simon can't seem to understand what is happening to him. He was tired. Been walking his way to their home since he gotten no cab to give him a lift. And he didn't even bother to go to the towing company and ask about his car. He felt sadden and yet mad at the same time. All the things he have done with their life was slowly falling apart.
It started with his company that has been taken away from them. He felt devastated knowing he didn't got the chance to take it back since he doesn't know how to do so.
Betty who was carrying Felix (who was a year older now) while staring at his devastating look of his husband can't help himself but to felt sad. She step closer to him and sit beside him. Then wanted to let him carry Felix but he avoided it using his hand.
"Take that away from me." He exclaimed as if Felix was only a thing for him.
Betty was a little bit shock and very sad with what his husband's reaction and just hug the little Felix in her arms. Simon was being bitter since he had a feeling that all his unlucky happenings was because of that baby whom they brought home with his wife.
He stare at her wife while carrying Felix. She saw in her wife's face the contentment that it has in her while she was carrying Felix nonetheless the opposite feelings he got towards the baby. He didn't want to take the blame to the baby but he just thought about it.
Simon look away and stared at the clear blue sky.

The surrounding suddenly stop when Betty hit the edge of the pool and about to fall while carrying baby Felix. All their visitors and relatives were all hang from their places while opening their mouth wide reaching their hands to stop Betty from falling.

"Where's Felix? Is he okay?" Betty was flustered as she was very worried about Felix when he suddenly flew up in the air when she couldn't control her grip into releasing him.
She saw Felix carrying by a woman and she walks near them. She saw Felix smiled while she was walking and soaking wet.
"Oh you are so naughty, you even smiled at me of what just happen." Betty exclaimed while holding him and let him stand in the chair because she was still dripping in wet because of her falling into the pool.
