"Mommy!" Joy yelled from the livingroom running, for how you could call that a run, to her mother who was cooking dinner waiting for Carina's shift to be over.

"Yeah baby girl?" She smiled and stoop down at her daughter's height.

The girl's hand reached forward, her index finger pointing to her plastic orange glass set on the table.

"Water." She mumbled before she pucked her lips tight as she always did when she wanted something.

"Just water, no juice?" The blonde asked while taking the cup to fill it.

"No." The girl spoke again.

As Maya handed her the cup, both her tiny hands reached for it before she brought the glass to her lips and drank half of the water.

"Slow down monkey." She chuckled taking the glass from her daughter and holding it down.

The girl let out a happy relieved breath.

"Done?" The firefighter asked.

She nodded softly and reached for Maya's hand as soon as she was back straight up, pulling it.

"Yeah?" Again, blue eyes met each other and a smiled filled the baby's face as she reached for her mother with both hands, silently asking her to scoop her up.

Maya immediately did, holding Joy with a single arm on her left side while she kept cooking.

The baby started playing with her short blonde hair and her own silver necklace, the one they gave her for her first birthday.

She giggled when Maya softly blew in her neck, tickling her, making her laugh as well.

Carina walked in at that sound, which immediately filled her heart, sending joyful goosebumps down her spine.

Maya heard the door close and popped out of the kitchen still holding the baby who, as soon as she saw her other mom, started to pull from Maya to run to her.

Carina knelt down opening her arms wide.

"Mama!" The girl stumbled towards her mother who immediately took her, hugging her tight. She smelled of lavander and whatever kind of pasta Maya was cooking.

"Hi bambina mia." She held her standing up and walked towards Maya to greet her with a kiss on her lips.

"Hi you too bella." She smiled in the kiss before giving her wife another.

The baby stirred to go back down on the ground and Carina let her.
She ran to the livingroom to go back playing with her firetruck.

Maya went back to the kitchen, to focus on the pasta and avoid whatever conversation they were about to have.
Carina joined her a minute later and walked behind her wife, to wrap her in her arms giving a kiss to her neck, then another, and another.

"She's not back yet?" The italian asked.

"No, not yet." She gently shook her head.

"Did you call her today?" She asked again.

It felt silent, sensual, given the position Carina was holding while asking her that, but still a little tense.

"I wanted to but thought better not to." She turned to her left side to grab some salt, tasting that the water was a little insipid.
Carina smiled seeing how her wife was now so good at cooking italian.
