I wasn't expecting this audience and followers…thank you all, I'm so glad!
I'm very open to suggestions, but I can't promise to follow them. I'm just writing down Limlendez situations that pop up in my mind not necessarily in a chronological order, that's why I based the story as a one-shots series, even if they're connected. Also, I wanted to give a common factor to the whole narrative and that is the reason for the Melendez-POV (but maybe this will change…who knows?).

So, here we go with our first flash-forward…let's jump in their future!

The clock read 7pm, our dinner was in the oven and Audrey would have been home in less than an hour. Right on time for a nice quiet dinner for the two of us. Just one loose thread to tie up, but I would do my best to settle things in due time.

In the next room the TV was on, "Let it go" from Frozen was playing for the fourth time in this ordinary afternoon while a certain little extraordinary 'Princess Elsa' was tapping her foot in time with her favorite character.

She amazed me every time. She had stars in her big brown eyes, the dark hair streaming behind her back and those dimples on her cheeks made her our blissful and sweet heaven on earth. Everyone agreed about her to look like me, which was quite clear actually, but I could perfectly see her mom in her gaze and this filled my heart with joy every time.

"Come on Princess Elsa, is bath time!" I announced.

"Why are you calling me Princess Elsa?" asked in her quiet little voice.

"Oh sorry…aren't you Elsa? That was such a good performance, I should get confused here!"

She giggled.

"I'm still Amy, daddy!"

"Oh…good thing. I was starting to worry you could turn this house into a realm of ice and snow!"

She laughed even more.

"Let's go now, you still need a bath!"

"Why?"

"Because it's almost bedtime and you know that a real princess need a good relaxing bath before going to sleep" I tried to persuade her while picking her up.

"I'm not a real princess, daddy…and I want to wait for mommy to come home"

"You will. She's on her way. But I'm sure you want to be all clean and fresh for her. Don't you?" I explained coming upstairs.

"Yes"

"That's my girl!"

"Why I'm your girl, daddy?" she asked after a while.

"Because you're being so kind and you're doing very well and I'm proud of you."

"Why are you proud of me?"

I grinned at her and kept bearing that endless cycle of whys.

"Because…sweetheart…you are a smart, empathetic, very confident and determined child. And Mom and I love you very much." I told her, while placing a kiss on her little nose.

Before she could add another why on the list, I distracted her proposing to sing something…that would allow me to speed things up and to prevent the soap-in-my-eyes drama.

While I dried her hair, the inquisitive side of her showed up again.

"Why Princess Elsa has a little sister and I don't?"

"Because…" I stalled, trying to buy time since I didn't know what to say "…because, mija, not every child has a sibling"

"Why?"

"For a number of reasons…"

"But why I don't?" asked again, emphasizing the subject of the question.

I knew she wouldn't give up, she was a mini Lim after all, but after fifteen years experience with the original version I knew better how to even the odds.

"Why do you want a little sister, nene?" I asked her back.

"I need someone to play Anna."

"That's it?"

"Yes!"

"Well then, we'll figure it out! I'll talk with mommy…you know she's the real boss here!"

We chuckled together and I tickled her hoping to end up the question. She giggled again and I couldn't think that this was the sweetest sound I'd ever hear in my whole life.

After putting her on her Mulan's PJ's, I carried her towards the Disney themed bedroom.

"Daddy, how are babies made?"

This was exactly what I was afraid of. Thank God I heard Audrey announcing she was back home.

"We're upstairs Aud, getting ready for bedtime! Come here…I may need some help! Hurry up!"

She was my lifeline in that moment and I was hoping her entry would be enough to distract our little inquisitor…

"Hey you two…how did it go today?" she said while joining us with her unique smile and greeting us with a kiss.

"Mommy!" she welcomed her back with a high-pitched voice.

"Can I have a kiss from my little Ai?" asked Audrey, claiming for some cuddles.

My perfect world was right there, in front of me, hugging and kissing and sharing mandarin terms of endearment.

After some more cuddles, Amy was still looking for an answer…

"Mommy, how are babies made?"

"Well sweetheart, when a Mommy and Daddy love each other, they come together to make a baby."

My brow was furrowed, my mouth slightly opened, eyes quizzical.

"C'mon Lim, are you kidding me?"…I whispered at her.

"What? Do you really want to talk about birds and bees with her?" she answered me back.

Meanwhile, that response seemed to be enough for our little one. In fact, she slept under her covers, claiming for her goodnight kisses and after properly having met her demands, we left her room.

We silently get back downstairs, just in case, then we started to set the table for dinner.

"When did she become so talkative? I'm not prepared for her to grow up…" I asserted.

"C'mon Neil! She's just a very curious three years old and she knows what she wants…but it's no time to act the part of the wistful dad. She still is your baby girl!", she mocked me.

"I'm just saying that time's going by so fast! It seems like only yesterday when she came into this world…"

"Well …you really think you can go on like this? I'm pretty sure to remember we had other plans for tonight…"

"And we still do" I told her before kissing her slowly.

We cleared dishes everything in the kitchen and we headed to our sofa, it was time to share our bourbons.

We relaxed leaning on each other, just enjoying the moment in silence.

"What?" she asked me.

"I didn't say anything!"

"No but, there's something on your mind, I can tell it…spill it out, Melendez!"

"God, you scare me sometime. You know me so well…"

"I wouldn't have married you otherwise…"

"That's so sweet honey, thank you!" I placed another kiss on her lips.

"So what…?"

"Well…Amy asked me why she doesn't have a little sister and Princess Elsa does"

"Oh…that's where her previous answer came from"

"Yep…it all started like that"

"So do you think we should talk about having one more Melendez around?"

"Don't say like that…you make it sound terrible! And then, she may look like me but she's definitely a Lim!"

We chuckled, then we looked in each other eyes.

"Seriously Neil, do you really want this?"

"Maybe…but I think we should share our thoughts on this topic."

"OK. You go first?"

"OK. Here's my two cents. My life has been a blissful since when you and I met, you know that. You're the love of my life and you always will be that's why we would have a perfect life even if there would be just the two of us. But we've been blessed with Amy coming and we must be honest saying that she is definitely our best outcome! I think it would be a pity not to try again…after all I deserve a second chance to have a mini-me."

"I…I have thought about it many times, I dreamt to actually…and I knew you would be in. I can't even explain how much I love being a mom…"

"I suppose the same much I love being a dad."

"Having Amy around me, around us, is incredible. So it's not that I wouldn't like to have another baby… I'm just afraid we wouldn't be so lucky again and we couldn't make it, Neil…. Last time I've blowing out my birthday candles there were more than 40…" she said a little sadly.

"I know better, I was there to help!" I told her, tightening her.

"Listen Aud…if we do want to make a try, we will do it together. Let's give us a chance. Defeat doesn't exist as long as we're together! There will be a lot of irresponsible mind-blowing lovemaking and eventually one more Limlendez baby…that's it!"

She had still her eyes bright with tears, but she was finally smiling again.

"Did you say irresponsible mind-blowing lovemaking?"

"Yes, let me show you…", I whispered in her ear before losing ourselves.
