MLW goes well. Better than Ricardo expected, considering. Even so, he's happy to be home, sprawled out in bed with Mariana sprawled on his chest, asleep. Clara is next to them, dozing as well, murmuring softly in her sleep. He's about to join them when Alicia peeks in and smiles at them. "Hey," he mumbles.
"Hey," she says softly, walking over to the bed and resting one hand on Mariana's back before leaning in to kiss him. "How are you feeling?"
"Good," he says. "Tired. A little sore. But good."
She chuckles at him, running her fingers through his hair. "Looked like you had a fun few days."
"I did," he confirms. "But this is a fun day too." He glances down at the twins, pressing a kiss to Mariana's forehead. "Surrounded by my favorite girls, how could it not be?"
"Sweet talker," she teases him, lifting Clara up and laying down next to Ricardo, resting her against her chest. "Good night, my baby girls," she murmurs.
Ricardo smiles over at her, yawning as Mariana fusses a little. "Sorry," he murmurs. "Didn't mean to disturb you."
"She's fine," Alicia says softly. "Don't have to confirm to her that you're already wrapped around her little finger."
Ricardo shrugs. "I can't really hide it," he says with a dopey smile as he smooths his hand over her head. "It's a good thing there's enough of me to divide between the three of them."
Alicia laughs, rolling her eyes. "Just don't forget that there are other people who would also like a little bit of you now and again," she teases, bracing Clara as she sits up and leans over, kissing Ricardo.
"Never," he murmurs, smiling up at her.
