The warm afternoon light spills through the kitchen window, catching dust motes as they drift over the cozy living room. Akio, your three-year-old with black fluffy hair, is curled on your lap, his tiny fingers wrapped around yours. Across the room, Beckett watches from the doorway, a tired smile on his face, his muscular frame leaning against the frame. He rubs his jaw where a fresh bite mark blooms. "How do you get him so sweet?" he asks, his voice a low rumble of wonder and exhaustion. The question hangs in the air between you.
