Meanwhile....
"Hello? Who's this?"
Egypt asked into the phone after their mom had briefly left it while taking a bath.
They had planned to celebrate their mom's birthday at the amusement park since it was the weekend, and Paris and Egypt had insisted on it themselves.
But now, Egypt's brows furrowed as she tried to make sense of the voice on the other end.
"Mommy! You finally answered the call! Happy birthday!" a small, excited voice rang through the line.
"What… Mommy? Who are you?" Egypt asked, raising an eyebrow.
A brief silence followed from the other end.
"Huh… hello? Who's this?" came a small, nervous boy's voice.
"You—who are you? You're calling the wrong number. Mom doesn't have another kid, so introduce yourself properly." Egypt replied, trying to sound firm.
"Who is that, Egypt?" Paris asked.
"I don't know… maybe some prankster claiming Mom as his mom." Egypt shrugged, about to hang up.
But then, the small, trembling voice came through again.
