"That was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen." Juan smiles down at me once we've started slow dancing.

"What was?" I ask.

He looks over at Eduardo who is talking to a few friends. "That dance with you and your father. There is absolutely, without a doubt, a father daughter connection there."

I nod slowly. "Yeah, I felt it too..." I trail off in thought. "It was weird. But a good kind of weird? Ugh, I don't know." I look back up at him and shrug. "I think we're gonna be okay."

He smiles happily. "That's amazing, bonita." he kisses my forehead gently. "I cant wait to have that." he sighs.

"Have what?"

"A connection like that with my daughter. Or son, it doesn't really matter." my breath hitches when he says that. "Just having such an incredible amount of love for something that you created with the one you love." he smiles. "I cant wait for it."

I smile, nodding slowly. "And I cant wait to see you be a dad. To see you with a beautiful baby that the two of us created out of love." I know Juan is going to be a phenomenal father and just the thought of him holding our baby in his arms make warm butterflies burst in the pit of my stomach.

"All this wedding stuff really has me thinking about ours." when I give him a confused look, he goes on. "Our wedding."

I laugh. "Is this some wedding I had no idea about?" I ask, shaking my head.

He rolls his eyes playfully. "You know I want to marry you."

I shrug, looking away playfully. "I haven't been asked a single thing yet."

He shakes his head, smiling down at me. "It'll come soon enough." he smirks, leaning down and giving me a small peck.

We dance for a few more minutes before I finally get tired. "Lets go sit down?" he nods, and leads me to the table with his hand on the small of my back. "When are you and I dancing?" I ask Joel jokingly.

He shakes his head quickly. "You know I love you, but I am not dancing with you. No way." he crosses his arms over his chest and leans back in his seat.

I laugh, leaning my head on his shoulder. My laugh dies down and I let out a sigh. "Thanks for asking me to come with you. I don't regret it at all."

I feel him nod. "Thanks for actually coming." he says nothing for a few seconds and then speaks again. "I heard your fight with Oscar over Dad." I stiffen when he says that. "And then I heard you come into the house. When I heard that you were crying, I was going to come out of my room, but then Mark followed you. I figured you wouldn't want me to see you like that." he kisses the top of my head. "I love you. You're the best sister anyone could ask for."

I quickly wipe a stray tear that's fallen and sit up. "I love you too." I sigh, shaking my head. "I was pretty sure you heard us."

He chuckles, nodding. "The window to my room is right in front of the backyard. I heard all of it." he shrugs. "Oscar can be an asshole, but I know he'll come around."

I nod slowly, not saying anything.

The rest of the night is spent with Juan and I dancing, just like I had promised him. I talked a bit to Angelica and Hailey but for the most part I just hung around Joel and Juan. They kept me in my comfort zone.

"Fuck am I exhausted." I groan, walking into my apartment. It's currently 2am and Juan and I just got home from dropping Joel off.

Juan nods, throwing himself onto the couch. I take my heels off and let them drop before walking up to the couch and taking a seat next to Juan. "Me too." he says in agreement.

I sigh, laying down and resting my head on his lap. "Thank you for coming with me, baby." I smile up at him.

He smiles back at me, caressing my cheek lovingly. "You know I'm always going to be there for you, bonita." he stares down at me for a few more seconds before closing his eyes and resting his head back. I believe him. I believe him with every ounce in my body, and that brings me such beautiful peace that I couldn't even begin to explain.

"Can we just stay like this forever?" I ask, also closing my eyes.

Juan chuckles and I open my eyes when I feel his on mine. "We can do whatever you want, Bonita." 

I smile, getting up and grabbing a huge blanket that I have draped across my other couch and turning off all the lights but a small one in my kitchen. "Get comfy then." I cover him, getting back into the position I was in before, and cover myself as well. "I love you, Juan Luis. So much." I say after we've been in the dark for a few minutes. 

"I love you too, hermosa." he rubs my arm up and down. "Now go to sleep. You've had a long day." he continues to caress my arm until eventually, I fall asleep in his lap.
