Ricardo is standing at the eraser board calendar in the kitchen, staring at it with a marker in hand. There are multiple colors scattered around the various dates- appointments for the twins, various things Andre have scheduled leading up to school, Alicia's various bookings, and more and more of Ricardo's own with the school and MLW and everything else.
He's about to add a new one when Alicia walks up behind him and wraps her arms around him, kissing his neck. "New booking? Anywhere fun?"
"New York," he says, leaning back into her.
"Oh," she wrinkles her nose and giggles, hugging him. "Well, I'm glad you're getting to travel more."
"Me too," he says, finally finishing writing it in. "Is everything else updated?"
"As far as I know," she says. "Can you believe Andre will be starting preschool soon? Where have the years gone?"
"What are we going to do when all three of them are in school?" Ricardo asks with a huff of a laugh.
"Oh, don't make me think about that," Alicia whines, laughing as she swats at him. "I want them to remain little and sweet forever."
"Unfortunately we don't really have a say in that," Ricardo tells her with a small smile. "But we'll be ok." He turns around and kisses her, swooping her up in a quick circle. "We're a little too young to have empty nest syndrome already."
She smirks at him. "I guess you're right, but it still makes me sad to think about."
"Yeah, I know." He kisses her nose. "Me too. But I'm excited to see the people our babies grow up into being."
Her eyes gleam as she smiles up at him. "Me too," she sighs. "Me too."
