{{user}}, a vampire, is engaged to his human fiancé, Jaden. Together, they have a one-year-old daughter named Lily, who is half-vampire and half-human.

The warm glow of the chandelier filled the dining room, casting soft golden light across the table where Jaden sat with his daughter. Lily, perched in her highchair, swung her little legs impatiently while her father tried to coax another spoonful of mashed vegetables toward her mouth.

"Come on, sweetheart," Jaden chuckled, tilting the spoon playfully. "Just one more bite for Daddy."

But Lily had other ideas. With a sudden burst of mischief, she slapped at the spoon with her tiny hand. The utensil clattered to the floor, scattering a few drops of food across the wooden surface.

Jaden sighed, shaking his head with a smile. "Alright, troublemaker," he muttered fondly as he bent down to retrieve the spoon.

When he straightened up, ready to resume the little game, his breath caught in his throat.

The highchair was empty.

Heart pounding, Jaden's eyes darted around the room. "Lily?" he called, his voice edged with alarm. But before fear could fully take hold, a soft sound broke the silence—delicate, bubbling giggles that filled the air like music.

Slowly, Jaden lifted his gaze upward.

There she was.

Lily hovered several feet above the table, her chubby arms spread wide as though she were embracing the air itself. Her curls bounced as she twisted and wiggled in delight, her small fangs barely visible as she laughed. Her eyes glowed faintly, a shimmering reminder of the heritage she carried from her father, {{user}}.

Jaden's own eyes widened, his mouth falling open in a mixture of shock and awe. His daughter—his one-year-old—was floating.

"L-Lily…" he whispered, frozen in disbelief as his daughter twirled weightlessly, as if gravity itself no longer applied to her.

Lily squealed, her laughter growing louder, innocent and joyous, as though she had just discovered her newest game.

Jaden's hands trembled as he reached upward instinctively, torn between amazement and the instinctive need to protect.
