At the age of 6 she wanted to be a princess
Leo was in the kitchen helping out his mother when he heard his friend giggling in their living room.
The little Latino boy ran to the room, bobbing his curly mass of hair up and down as he did.
There she was with her (style of hair) hair up in pigtails, she was spinning around in circles
giggling. She spun around to come face to face with her friend.
"Leo! " she shouted in glee, taking the hem of her navy button up and curtsying, "Come dance with me! "
He furrowed his brows together and looked at her with confusion, " What are you doing? "
" I'm going to be a princess when I grow up, I gotta know how to dance, silly! "
He smiled and grabbed her hands, " Cool! I can be your prince then! "
Esperanza sat leaned up against the open kitchen door, smiling as she watched the two six year old kids spinning round and round.


At the age of 8 she wanted to be an artist
"Look Leo!"
Leo rounded the corner of his mom's outside shed and to the picnic table.
It was a few hours before he had to go to the shop with his mom and, of course, wanted (Y/n) to come over.
He looked at the drawing she made and grinned, " Is that me and my mom? "
She nodded and smiled at him, giving him the picture as a gift.
He shook his head and laughed a little, " No no I gotta go soon and I don't want it to get dirty at the shop. "
She frowned a little but smiled understandingly as she brought it back to the flat surface.
" Alright, I'll make you another one! A artist always has more drawings. " (Y/n) said starting on a new paper.
" You wanna be an artist? " He stood up on the table and struck a pose, " Draw me like one of your french girls. " She giggled and started drawing him, " Where'd you get that from? "
He shrugged and kept posing, " I heard it at school when I walked past the teacher lounge yesterday. " She stuck ouy her tongue in concentration and held up the picture with pride. He grinned and picked it out of her hands. " You're Amazing at this (Y/n)! "



At the age of 10 she wanted to be book reviewer
After the accident at the shop; Leo and (Y/n) stayed in touch through letters.
Mostly when (Y/n) wrote to him it was long paragraphs about the latest book she read.
Finally he would sent back a letter from another foster home, saying,
" Holy crap you should be a book reviewer. I finally figured out what I wanna be though!
I'm gonna be a mechanic like my mom and own a shop! I really miss you, (Y/n).
I want to come find you so we can run away together and play games all day. Say, do you want to run away with me? "
She honestly felt ecstatic about her best friend asking her this, she couldn't just leave though..


At the age of 13 she wanted to be pretty
Once her and Leo met again, they both realized that they had grown up so much.
Leo had taken an interest in girls and (Y/n) had taken a slight interest in Leo.
Leo would come back to the little place they had fixed up to stay in and talk about the latest girl he flirted with.
(Y/n) would listen to him talk and make smug comments on a few of his pick up lines that he used.
" You should of seen her, (Y/n), She had long chestnut brown hair and this big wide beautiful green eyes and just- ah "
He chuckled slightly at the end and looked down at the floor, fiddling with the zipper of his old army jacket.
She gave a weak smile and hugged her arms around her self, suddenly not feeling pretty enough for Leo's taste.
He glanced up and smiled lightly at her, a thought that subconsciously slipped into his mind before he could even process it,
" She wasn't as pretty as you, though. "



At the age of 15 she was depressed
Her best friend went missing sometime ago and that left her all alone.
So as she carried on life seemed boring and such a routine.
She was forced to attend high school by Houston Texas police and the kids there weren't being supportive of her in anyway.
Sure there were nice kids and teachers who helped out, but that didn't help the rumors.
The rumors scaled from her being pregnant to her being on drugs.
She didn't know exactly why they did this, was it because she was escorted by the police on the first day?
It got so bad to where she self harmed.
She didn't cut like most kids did, she didn't want remaining scars.
She burned herself with boiling water instead.
She tried to think of Leo and what he would do if he saw this.
" He never would see though "


At the age of 17 she was reunited
Tears filled her vision as she stared at Leo. Her expression showed shock but her mind was rewinding back to his living room.
The giggling that escaped their younger self's lips echoing in the back of her mind.
Leo's face mirrored her's as he took long strides to close the small space between them.
(Y/n) stood up from her seat at (G/p)'s table and embraced him in a long overdue hug.
He hid his face in her neck and placed a soft kiss there, the only thing left from his past was in his arms and he was not letting go.
She was surprised about the tingling place on her neck, fully realizing her forgotten feelings.
He pulled away for a split second to kiss her lips and let them linger there before pulling away to rest his forehead on hers.
His trademark smirk appeared across his lips as he whispered a question that only she could hear.
" Be my girlfriend? "



At age 20 she was engaged
She stared at the man she loved on one knee.
Her thoughts rushed back and forth as he spoke to her.
" (Y/n), I have loved you since we were young. I mean we still are pretty young but-
Ahem, I'm trying very hard not to screw up and get distracted by the beautiful woman I see in front of me.
I would love to fall asleep next to you and wake up cuddled up next to each other.
I want to see you jumping around our house dancing and rocking out to your favortie band everyday.
I want to have children and be a Papa with you by my side.
Marry me? " She nodded slowly and smiled at him, " I'd love to Leo. " She giggled lightly and hugged him close when he stood.
She was no longer going to be (Y/n) (L/n).
She was going to be (Y/n) Valdez.





At age 21 she was married
They both grinned widely as they exited the reception and ran through the path through the parted crowd.
All of their family and friends cheered as they threw rice and blew bubbles over their heads.
When they finally reached the (type of car), they got in still grinning, also noticing the cans tied on the bumper and the rice that went astray.
(Y/n) got in first and Leo following after, already talking about the future events that were to come during and after the Honeymoon.
NO they weren't talking about sexual activity, you dirty person, they were going to Greece and they both wanted to explore.
Leo turned over to her and smiled widely, " Hello Mrs. Valdez, may I take you out this evening? " He asked, his smile turning into a cheeky grin.
She smirked back and showed him her ring finger like she was flipping him off, " Sorry sir I don't think my husband would like it very much. "
They both laughed and kissed quickly before the car was started and they were off to Greece.


At the age of 23 she made it
She squeled and covered her mouth at the sight of the e-mail on her computer screen.
She made it, she got her dream job of being a book reviewer.
She grabbed her coat and slipped on her vans before running out of the house, through camp Jupiter, and over to Hazel and Frank's house.
She didn't bother to knock on the door but she did manage to yell, " Leonardo Valdez! " through the house.
Leo popped his head round the corner and raised a brow, " You never use my full name, what's wrong? "
She grinned and walked towards him to give him a big kiss on the lips. He was surprised at first but kissed back anyways, " Okay what happened, seriously. "
He propped up another question to be answered, gripping her hands in his.
" I got the job, I made it! "


At the age of 26 she held her first child
She wiped the sweat on her forehead with the cloth Leo had given her.
A baby blue blanket was wrapped around their baby boy. They handed him to Leo seeing as she were still trying to catch her breath.
She looked up at Leo holding the little baby with immense adoration and affection in his eyes.
she smiled weakly at the sight and held out her arms, wanting to see their creation.
He kissed his head softly and handed him to you, " It's a boy, in case you wen blind during birth. " He stated awkwardly.
She laughed lightly and locked her eyes on the baby's closed ones.
" Hello there, I see you have Daddy's Curly hair already " Just as she was going to kiss his head he opened his eyes to reveal bright blue ones.
( as he's older: )
