Alexia carefully held Isabella in her arms as she took a sweet picture of her daughter sleeping on her chest. Isabella's tiny fingers curled around a strand of Alexia's hair, and her soft breaths were like a lullaby. Alexia couldn't resist capturing this precious moment.

With a tender smile, Alexia posted the picture on her Instagram, adding a heartfelt caption: "Naptime snuggles with my little love. 💤❤️ #MomLife #NaptimeCuddles #Isabella #LoveHerToPieces."

Almost immediately, her teammates began to comment on the post, teasing her in their usual playful way.

Jenni: "Captain's duty - providing the comfiest pillow for the little princess! 😄👑"

Mapi: "Isabella's got the best mom ever! 😍"

Patri: "Looks like Isabella's enjoying her beauty sleep on her mom's comfy chest. 💤👶"

While Alexia was enjoying the banter with her teammates, she couldn't help but feel the absence of Elena. She missed her girlfriend and couldn't wait for her to return home.

Feeling a bit sentimental, Alexia sent a text to Elena: "Isabella and I miss you so much, Bonita. Can't wait for you to be back with us. ❤️"

As she watched Isabella peacefully sleep, Alexia longed for the day when their little family would be complete once again.

Alexia was determined to make it up to Isabella for the little scare she had caused her. She decided to take Isabella to the park, a place the baby always loved.

As they strolled through the park, Isabella's eyes sparkled with curiosity, taking in the vibrant colors of the flowers and the sounds of children playing. Alexia pushed her in the swing, and Isabella's giggles filled the air as she soared through the air.

They spent hours playing together, with Alexia making funny faces and singing silly songs to keep Isabella entertained. It was a day filled with joy and laughter, and Alexia felt her heart swell with love for her daughter.

In the afternoon, as they sat on a bench watching the ducks in the pond, Alexia took out her phone and recorded a video. She wanted to capture this moment of pure happiness.

"Hey, Bonita," she said, addressing the camera. "Isabella and I wanted to send you some love from the park. She's having a blast, and I promise we'll be extra careful not to startle her again."

Isabella babbled happily in the background, as if understanding every word her mom said.

"We miss you, Elena," Alexia continued, her voice filled with affection. "Can't wait for you to be back with us. Until then, enjoy this little video. Love you lots!"

She blew a kiss to the camera before ending the recording. With a smile, she sent the video to Elena, hoping it would bring a little piece of their day to her while she was away.

As they continued their day at the park, Alexia was determined to make sure Isabella's laughter and smiles outweighed any tears. They were a team, and they'd always find a way to make things right.

Elena's heart warmed as she watched the video Alexia had sent her while on her way home from work. It was precisely what she needed after a long and exhausting day. Seeing Isabella's adorable giggles and Alexia's loving message made her feel closer to her family, even though they were physically apart.

When Elena finally arrived back home, she quietly entered their cozy living room, which was bathed in the soft glow of evening sunlight. There, she saw the most heartwarming sight: Alexia and Isabella, both fast asleep on the couch, cuddled together.

Isabella lay on her back, her tiny hands tucked under her chin, and a contented smile on her face. Alexia was nestled beside her, her arm protectively draped over their daughter. It was a picture of pure love and serenity.

Elena couldn't help but smile as she gazed at her two favorite people in the world. She tiptoed closer, being careful not to wake them. Elena leaned down and gently kissed Isabella's forehead, then brushed her lips against Alexia's temple. Their warmth and presence filled her with an overwhelming sense of home.

She quietly slipped out of her work clothes and joined them on the couch, wrapping her arms around both of them. As the evening turned into night, Elena, Alexia, and Isabella slept soundly, knowing that they were together again, where they belonged, their hearts full of love and happiness.
