They lay in bed taking in the sunset spearing from the balcony. They spent the whole day in their hotel room, just spending time together. He's in his boxers while she's wrapped in the bed sheets. She's lying her back against his front in between his legs while his back is against the headboard. He has his arms wrapped around her with his hands ending up on her stomach. Her eyes are closed and she smiles as he traces small circles on the lower part of her stomach with his index fingers. He sees that she's awake and kisses the side of her head.
"Hi."
"Hi."
"You okay?"
"I don't know. I'm scared."
He's surprised, he never saw her scared of anything before.
"About what?"
"Anytime we're in good place, something happens to make it all go wrong."
"Nothing's gonna happen."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
She had faith in what he said was true. She held his hands as he wrapped his arms around her a little tighter, giving her the feeling that she is always safe whenever he was with her.
"God, I don't ever want to leave this room. I just want to stay here in your arms."
"We can make this our new home."
"You serious?"
"It's a good set-up. My family is your family now and we can take our kids to the beach."
She smiles at the picture of them playing with their kids on beach playing in her head. But part of here feels that they already have a home.
"That sounds really nice but.."
"We don't do nice."
She smirks at him repeating the words she said yesterday when he brought up the subject of settling down and starting a family.
"I was gonna say we already have a home." She says referring to their home in LA as she turns her head to look up and face him.
"Home is wherever we are together."
"I know. You know what I miss about home? Your puffy pancakes."
"I can't believe you remember that."
They laugh as they recall the morning after their first time together.
"I remember that morning. You made me breakfast and the first thing I noticed were these weird looking pancakes."
"I couldn't get them to stay in circles. You said they looked like clouds to make me feel better."
"They did look like clouds."
"I was nervous."
"What you mean you were nervous?"
"You were the first girl.."
"The first girl you what?"
"The first girl I ever made love to. Before it was just about sex and getting off."
"Okay Ewh."
"But it was different with you."
"Well I was a virgin when you met me so it was gonna be different."
"Okay it was that but it wasn't just physical attraction. What I felt when I was with you was real, I could never feel that way with anybody else."
She smiles when she hears him say this. She didn't immediately jump into bed with him, she made him wait six months until she was ready to have sex. It was her first time and she wanted it to be good not just for her but for him. He worshiped her and she felt every kind of emotion she would only let him see. He was her first and her only since then. She turned her body around to lay on his chest with her hand on his heart.
"You...have gotten so soft on me Torreto."
He laughed as she said that. She grabbed hold of his neck and looked into his eyes.
"I'm happy you were the first and the last, even though you slept with Trans sister right before you got with me."
"You're never gonna let that go are you?" He said jokingly.
"I'm playing. It's gone, done never talking about it again okay." She kisses him and feels him smiling on her lips. She lays down on his chest listening to his heartbeat.
"And our kids are gonna love your puffy pancakes."
"They will?"
"We'll just tell em they're cars, they won't know the difference."
They lay there for a while, thinking about their future children.
"So how many you thinking of having?"
"I thought we were good with three."
"Yeah but three what?"
"Well I know you want a boy first and then a girl so she has a big brother keep her safe like you did with Mia. So number three will just be a tie breaker."
"Or we could kill two birds and have twins and then one."
"That is not even funny."
"I was joking."
"Well tell that to the three god kids we have out our eighteen nieces and nephews Uncle Dom."
"One at a time then."
She knew he was was joking but she was serious. She had no idea Dom's family in Cuba was so big. He had more cousins than she could count and they all had at least two kids.
"Sofia."
He wonders why she said that name.
"If we have a girl, I'd name her Sofia."
"That sounds nice. I was thinking about maybe Ava."
"That beautiful Dom. I know she would love that."
Ava was his mother who died when Mia was born.
"Ava and Sofia Torreto."
"Those two are gonna be a handful." He says and they laugh at how it would be with two girls.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Yeah."
"Can we name our boy after my dad?"
"Absolutely. He would be so proud of the man you become. And you are going to be a great dad."
She looks up at him and sees the tear streaming down his eye. She takes his face in her hand and turns him to face her.
"Baby, you're gonna be a good father to them."
"I just can't believe we get to have this. We might have just made a baby right now."
She smiles and her eyes starts to well tears.
"I can't wait to start our family together."
She kisses his cheek and rests her head in the crook of his neck. He holds her close to his chest and doesn't let go of his hold. Her eyes are closed so she doesn't see the frown on his face. The secret that he's hiding from her would destroy their world and what he's about to do will break her heart.
