The morning sunlight poured gently through the curtains as Natasha helped Alex put on his shoes. The little boy giggled and bounced on his feet.
"You’re going to stress me out before we even leave," Natasha said, smiling at him.
"I want to play on the swings!" Alex shouted, lifting his arms in the air.
Sebastian walked in, holding a small backpack with snacks and water. "Ready to go?" He asked.
"Almost," Natasha replied, adjusting Alex’s shirt. She looked up at Sebastian. "Thanks for inviting us. I think Alex needs this." She added, placing a strand of her hair at the back of her ear.
Sebastian smiled gently. "We all do."
Just as they were heading toward the door, Alexa appeared, standing in the hallway with a wide smile. Her arms were crossed, and she looked Natasha up and down.
