"I've been thinking," Ricardo murmurs early one morning, lazing in bed, hand trailed over Alicia's hip, thumb teasing over the slow growing bump of her stomach.
"Should I be concerned?" she teases, rolling over to press her face into his neck.
"No," he says with a faint laugh, nudging his nose against hers and pressing a kiss to her jaw. "I was thinking maybe, since we're settling pretty well in Pennsylvania, I might start a school. Or corraborate with someone else to start one."
Alicia sits up and kisses him, digging her fingers lightly into his cheeks to stare deep into his eyes. "I think that would be great," she says softly. "I know you miss training people regularly. And after how Egypt ended up, I think this would be a good thing for you. I'll do all I can to help you see this through."
He smiles up at her. "I love you so much," he murmurs, trailing his fingers up and down her back as she kisses him again. He holds her close and mouths lightly at her neck, down. "Wanna have a little fun before Andre wakes up?"
"You know it," she laughs, easing up and hovering over him.
He sighs and stares up at her, smiling. "You're so gorgeous," he breathes out, brushing her hair over her shoulders and drawing her back down, continuing to kiss her.
"I love you," she hums into his mouth and he grins.
"Love you too." He guides her onto her side and continues lazily kissing her, enjoying how her lips part, her eyes fluttering as he touches her, enjoying the warmth of her skin under his fingers. "You gonna help me train these silly kids in wrestling after this little one?"
She hums, arching up into his fingers and breathes out. "Yeah," she sighs low. "I think that'd be fun." She stares at him. "We can make sure they avoid the pitfalls we went through. Addictions and the negative aspects of social media... and everything else..."
"Yeah," he breathes. "Itt's all I've ever wanted to do. Help people navigate this mess of a business. Make things easier for the next generation."
"You're so kind," she murmurs.
"Not always," he admits. "But I'm trying."
Her eyes gleam in the faint light. "I'd say you're succeeding. Sobriety looks good on you."
He smiles at her. "It looks really good on you too."
She ducks her head and leans into him more thoroughly, a faint flush creeping up her cheeks. He chuckles and just hugs her, enjoying the moment.
