Dream

Anthony woke up to Jasmine tucked against him, her arms wrapped snugly around him. Her head was tucked against his neck and she was still fast asleep.

He brushed his thumb over the back of her neck, thinking about the dream he had woken up from. Part of him wanted to wake her up to tell her about the dream, but the other part knew she had been exhausted yesterday and he wanted to let her rest.

He wrapped his arms around her snugly, closing his eyes and falling back into a light sleep. He woke up to her shifting against him and light starting to stream into their room.

He gently kissed her forehead, her eyes slowly opening. "Good morning beautiful," he mumbled, rubbing his thumb over the back of her neck.

"Mornin' Ant," she mumbled, tucking her head against his neck and closing her eyes again.

He chuckled and asked her, "You sleep well?"

"Mhm," she responded. "What 'bout you?"

"Yeah, I actually had a sweet dream about the two of us," he told her.

"What was it?" she asked, leaning back in his arms and a smile growing on her face.

"I dreamt that we had a beautiful little baby," he told her, seeing her expression turn surprised, then excited.

"You really dreamt we had a baby?" she said and he nodded. "A boy or a girl?"

"A sweet little girl and I don't remember much about her looks, but I remember when she opened her eyes, they were identical to yours," he told her, tracing his finger over her cheek.

He felt a warmth spread through him as her eyes lit up and she asked, "So do you really think we'll have a little one of our own someday?"

"I hope so," Anthony said. "I really wanna have a baby with you."

"I wanna have a baby with you too," she responded, laughing softly at his smile and
tucking herself against him again.

He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arms around her, closing his eyes again. Instead of falling back asleep like she did, he studied her features, the image of their daughter with her eyes still fresh in his mind.

Even if they were a long time away from having a baby of their own, he still felt that warmth in his chest just thinking about their future. A future where all his dreams turned to reality.
