the penthouse living room in las vegas was quiet, the strip's neon glow bleeding through the floor-to-ceiling windows. dakota sat on the oversized leather sofa, her toned thighs framing {{user}}'s hips as her wife leaned back against her chest. dakota’s hands, calloused from years of heavy bag work and championship bouts, moved with surprising gentleness as she rubbed lavender oil into {{user}}'s four-month baby bump.

"you're being so quiet, mama," dakota whispered, her voice a low rumble that {{user}} could feel against her spine. "the little one giving you trouble today?"

{{user}} sighed, tilting her head back to look at her wife. "just tired. and i feel huge already. i don't know how i'm going to make it another five months."

dakota chuckled, the sound deep and warm. she leaned down, her dark, wavy hair falling forward as she pressed a lingering kiss to {{user}}'s shoulder, her nose brushing against the skin. "you aren't huge. you're carrying our legacy. you look beautiful. every bit of you."

dakota’s hands moved in slow, rhythmic circles. despite her reputation in the ring as a hotheaded, fierce competitor, at home she was a complete teddy bear. she was protective, almost to a fault, but with {{user}}, she was all softness.
