Ben's POV

I put Beatrice in her playpen inside of our beach house, and Mal was sitting outside reading, her emerald green eyes focused on the book. Her purple hair cascaded around her shoulders. "Hey babe," I said, trying to snap Mal out of her reading. "Oh hi," Mal replied, a little shocked. "Wanna take a picture and send it to the group chat with Carlos, Evie, and Jay?" I asked. "Sure," Mal replied. I took out my phone and snapped a photo of Mal and I. In the photo, I put my hands around her waist. I sent the photo in the group chat with Carlos, Evie, and Jay.

Jay: Ben, why did you put your hands around Mal's waist?

Mal: He wanted it to be a romantic photo!

Carlos: How's our little one-year-old devil Beatrice?

Ben: DON'T CALL OUR DAUGHTER A DEVIL CARLOS!!

Carlos: Ok, ok, sorry.

Mal and I put our phones away.
"She's not a devil, you know," I said, my tone teasing but earnest.
Mal laughed, shaking her head. "I know. But you have to admit, she can be a little mischievous." Mal replied.
"Only because she gets it from you," I shot back, cocking an eyebrow.
Her laughter continued, layered with the sounds of crashing waves—a melody of love, life, and the beautiful chaos that came with parenthood.
"Alright, I'll give you that, But look at her. She's perfect. With your hazel eyes and my purple hair," Mal said.
I glanced over to see Beatrice gumming a colorful toy, oblivious to the world around her. "Yeah, she really is," I said, feeling my heart swell once more.
