Lyla pov:

The hospital room filled with joy.

Aliyah and i beamed.

Their baby girl wrapped snug.

"Ava," Aliyah whispered.

Lyla's smile faltered.

"Perfect," Lyla agreed.

Their love shone brighter.

No fear.

No doubt.

Just unconditional love.

As they gazed at Ava.

Their hearts swelled.

Aliyah's voice trembled.

"Lyla, thank you."

Lyla's eyes locked onto hers.

"For what?"

"For being my rock."

Lyla's lips curved.

"Forever and always."

Their lips met.

A tender kiss.

Ava's tiny hand.

Wrapped around Lyla's finger.

Aliyah's heart swelled.

Their little family.

Aliyah pov:

I gazed at Lyla, Ava snuggled in her arms.

My heart swelled.

We're taking our baby home.

New Orleans, our sanctuary.

The city's vibrant energy.

Our love's haven.

As we drove, the Mississippi River unfolded.

Sunset's warm hues danced.

Lyla's hand intertwined with mine.

"Ava's going to love it here," Lyla said.

I smiled.

"Her first gumbo, beignets, and jazz."

Lyla chuckled.

"Our little Creole princess."

We turned onto our street.

Magnolia trees bloomed.

Our Creole-style cottage.

Warm lights are welcomed.

Home.

Lyla helped me with Ava.

We stepped inside.

Familiar scents.

Comforting.

Ava's tiny cries.

Lyla soothed.

Our nursery.

Ava's domain.

Soft pink and cream.

Lyla laid Ava in her crib.

I wrapped my arms around Lyla.

"Thank you," I whispered.

Lyla's eyes shone.

"For what?"

"For this life."

Lyla's lips met mine.
