It was a warm, peaceful afternoon at Neverland Ranch, where the gentle breeze carried the scent of blooming flowers. The sprawling garden was a picture of happiness as Michael, Anica, their ten-year-old son Michael Jr., and their one-year-old daughter Lila played under the shade of a giant oak tree. Laughter filled the air, a beautiful melody of family joy.

Anica sat cross-legged on a soft picnic blanket, watching with an adoring smile as Michael Jr. raced around, chasing a soccer ball with his dad. Michael, ever the playful father, pretended to stumble and miss a kick, causing Michael Jr. to burst into giggles.

"You let him win again, didn't you?" Anica teased, her voice full of warmth as she gently bounced Lila on her lap.

Michael shot her a wink, his eyes twinkling. "What can I say? He's got his dad's skills—takes after me."

Anica laughed softly, shaking her head. "You're hopeless," she said, her gaze softening as she looked down at Lila, who was clapping her tiny hands together, trying to imitate her brother's excitement. Anica pressed a kiss to the top of Lila's head, her heart full of love for her little girl.

Michael Jr. came running over, out of breath but grinning from ear to ear. "Did you see that, Mom? Dad totally missed!" he said, his eyes gleaming with pride.

"I saw!" Anica said, smiling at her son. "You're getting so fast, sweetheart. Maybe one day you'll even beat him for real."

Michael Jr. puffed out his chest, clearly pleased, before turning his attention to his baby sister. "Hey, Lila!" he said, kneeling down in front of her. "Wanna play with the ball?"

Lila, in her baby babble, responded with excited gurgles, her chubby hands reaching out for her brother's shirt. Michael Jr. laughed and wiggled his finger in front of her, making her squeal in delight.

And then, like a moment of magic, Lila looked up at Anica with wide eyes and, in the sweetest little voice, said, "Mama."

Anica froze for a second, her breath catching in her throat. "Did... did she just...?" she whispered, her voice filled with wonder.

Michael turned, his attention immediately captured by the word. "Wait, did she say—?"

"Mama," Lila repeated, clearer this time, her tiny face lighting up with a toothless grin.

Anica's heart swelled with emotion as tears brimmed in her eyes. She gathered Lila into her arms, pressing kisses all over her soft cheeks. "You said 'Mama!' Oh, baby girl, you're amazing!" She laughed through her happy tears, feeling the overwhelming joy of the moment.

Michael, who had been watching with a tender smile, moved beside them and placed his hand on Anica's shoulder, leaning down to kiss the top of her head. "Looks like she takes after her mom—perfect timing, always," he said softly, his voice full of love.

But Lila wasn't done with her surprises. She reached out her little arms toward Michael and, with the same sweet enthusiasm, said, "Dada."

Michael's eyes widened, his face breaking into the biggest grin. "Oh my God, did you hear that?" he exclaimed, his voice full of awe. "She said 'Dada' too!"

Anica laughed, her heart bursting with happiness. "She's trying to steal the spotlight," she teased, looking up at him with eyes full of love.

Michael leaned in, kissing Lila on the forehead, then turned to Anica and planted a soft kiss on her lips. "You're amazing, you know that?" he whispered, his voice low and full of adoration. "I don't know what I'd do without you."
