Trigger warnings: Suicide, death.

"And something inside me just broke. That's the only way I could describe it." -Ranata Suzuki

"Why are you looking at me like that?" D asks blushing.

Ana smirks. "You are my wife, I can look at you however I like."

"Well stop, I can't concentrate you are making me blush..." D tries to hide her smile as she continues with her pottery. A recently acquired hobby.

"Can I put a pink heart on your mug Ree?" Nadi beams.

"Must everything be in pink??" Eli asks from the blanket she is sleeping on in the garden.

"Must you always be a kill joy?" Nadi sasses back.

Ana smiles as they continue their bantering. She continues brushing Nadi's hair, making a neat ponytail and adding a pink bow with her silk headscarf to it, just how her baby likes it.

"All done babygirl"

"Thank you mommy" Nadi inspects the bow.

"You are most welcome little one," she kisses her on her lips.

Nadi sighs laying across her mommy's lap. The sun is shining bright, but the flowers and trees in the garden protect them from the intense sun rays as they relax in the garden.

"Okay it's dry now, you can come add your heart love," D announces looking at her mug as if checking to see if it is up to standard.

"Yay!" Nadi stands up and carefully takes the paint. She carefully and neatly draws the pink heart.

"Oooo that's a pretty heart."

"Thank you mommy"

"Can I draw mine as well?" Eli lazily asks from her spot.

"Aye Eli you are so jealous. Why you draws a heart also coz Nadi also draws a heart?" Nadi frowns.

"Coz I also want to..." Eli replies.

"Okay everyone gets to draw a heart." D cuts their argument short.

Ana draws a gold heart in the mug, Eli draws a white one, while D draws a red one.

"Let's put a date on it?" Ana suggests.

"Good idea," D says.

Ana writes the date underneath the mug- 09/03/2022.

"This is so beautiful D, we might just open a shop soon for all your collection..." Eli says looking at the mug.

"It is, she is getting really good." Ana agrees.

"Ree, can you make me a pink tea cup?" Nadi requests.

"How much do you have?" D teases her.

"Mommy will pay for me... She has lots of money... Her money doesn't end..." Nadi answers her, truly believing what she is saying.

Ana laughs, and Eli smirks.

"Yes, just give my baby what she wants, mommy will pay for her. Name your price ma'am..." Ana challenges D.

"Such a spoilt baby..." Eli mumbles

"I will name my price when I'm done with it..." D tells them.

Nadi yawns.

"You want to take a nap?" Ana asks her and Nadi nods her head.

Ana takes her hand and they lay down on the blanket next to Eli. Nadi buries her face in her mommy's chest. Ana unclasps her bra and seeing her breast, Nadi's eyes have hearts. She gently takes Ana's nipple into her mouth and starts nursing. She looks up at her mommy and smiles with her eyes, taking a strand of her blond hair and playing with it as she nurses. Ana smiles down at her before taking her fingers and kissing them.
