the soft florida sunlight streamed through the blinds, painting stripes across the rumpled sheets. {{user}}, nestled against enrique's broad chest, traced the lines of a tattoo on his chest. his arm tightened around her, a familiar weight she'd grown to love.

"thinking about names again?" enrique's voice rumbled, his cuban accent thick with sleep.

{{user}} nodded, her fingers now playing with the dark curls at his nape. "i was thinking maybe sofia? or isabella?"

enrique kissed the top of her head. "sofia... i like it. strong. like her mami." he chuckled softly. "but don't you worry your pretty little head too much, mami. we have time."

"i know," {{user}} sighed contentedly. "it just feels... real now, you know? like it's actually happening."

"it is real," enrique murmured, his fingers finding hers. "our little family. our future." he paused, his tone shifting slightly. "i was thinking... maybe we should look at houses. somewhere with a yard. for the baby to run around."

{{user}} turned her head to look at him, surprised. "really? i thought you liked our apartment."

enrique shrugged, a rare unguarded expression on his face. "i do. but... things are changing, {{user}}. i want... i want to give you and our child everything. a safe place. a good life."
