The soft hum of ocean waves rolled in the distance as Enzo and Bonnie strolled hand in hand down the familiar beach where he had proposed months earlier. The late afternoon sky burned with hues of amber and rose, casting a golden glow over the serene horizon. They had come back to this special place, seeking peace and clarity for what they both knew was an important conversation-one that could reshape their future forever.

Bonnie squeezed Enzo's hand gently, feeling the warmth of his skin against hers. His presence had always been her safe place, her anchor in the chaos of the supernatural world they once battled. But now, their lives had settled into something she once thought impossible-*normalcy*.

Enzo guided her toward a secluded spot near a cluster of sea grass, where a cosy blanket and a small picnic basket waited. He had planned every detail, knowing how much she cherished quiet, meaningful moments. Bonnie smiled at the thoughtful gesture, her heart swelling with love for the man who still managed to surprise her every day.

After sharing a quiet meal filled with lighthearted conversation and laughter, a comfortable silence settled between them. Bonnie rested her head on Enzo's shoulder, her fingers tracing slow circles on the back of his hand.

"Enzo," she began softly, her voice steady but thoughtful, "have you ever thought about... us starting a family?"

His body stilled for a moment, processing her words. Slowly, he shifted so he could see her face, his dark eyes searching hers for any hint of doubt. Instead, he found only sincerity and a hint of nervousness.

"Bonnie..." he whispered, gently cupping her face, his thumb brushing her cheek. "Is that something *you* want?"

She nodded, emotion shimmering in her gaze. "I never thought I'd get the chance... to have this kind of life. But with you... it feels possible." Her voice cracked slightly, her vulnerability laid bare.

Enzo leaned in, pressing his forehead against hers. "You're my forever, Bonnie Bennett. I want everything with you-*everything.* A family, a home, a future... I've dreamed of it more times than I can count."

Her breath hitched as he spoke, and she loved flooding her heart. "Are you sure?" she whispered. "With everything we've been through... everything that could go wrong?"

Enzo held her gaze firmly. "We've faced more darkness than most people could survive-and we're still standing. Whatever comes next... we'll face it *together.*"

Tears spilt down Bonnie's cheeks as she wrapped her arms around his neck, holding him tightly. In that moment, all her fears faded. She had always been the protector, the fighter-but with Enzo, she finally felt safe enough to let herself *hope.*

"I want that too," she whispered against his neck. "I want it all-with you."

They stayed like that for what felt like forever, wrapped in each other's embrace, hearts beating in sync. Enzo finally pulled back, his hands framing her face. "Then let's do it. Let's build the life we never thought we could have."

Bonnie laughed through her tears, nodding. "You're really serious, aren't you?"

"As serious as I was the day I promised never to leave you," he said with that signature smirk that made her heart race. "Let's start our family, Bon."

As the sun dipped lower into the horizon, they lay back on the blanket, fingers intertwined. They talked about the future-about what their lives could look like. A small house near the beach, filled with warmth and laughter. A child with Bonnie's fierce spirit and Enzo's stubborn charm.

"Do you think we'll be good parents?" Bonnie asked softly, her voice tinged with uncertainty.

Enzo pressed a tender kiss to her temple. "I *know* we will. You have more love in your heart than anyone I've ever known. And as for me, I'll learn as I go."

Bonnie chuckled, her fingers tracing his jawline. "You'll be amazing."

He smiled, his voice thick with emotion. "And you'll be the most incredible mother.''

As the stars began to sprinkle across the night sky, they stayed wrapped in each other's arms, dreaming about the life they were ready to build. They knew the road ahead wouldn't be without challenges, but for the first time in a long time, they felt *ready.*
