Chapter Text
Maya walked through the door to their new house. The house that they very impulsively bought, well, technically rented, but the house that would be the start of a new beginning. Their home.
She put her boots on the shoe-rack she’d assembled only 24 hours ago and walked towards the babbles and laughter further in the corridor.
“Baaaaah baaah” she heard Liam gurgle. He sounded determined. Like he was discussing something and had an important point to make. Maya smiled. Her little boy was already a strong character.
She rested against the door frame, just taking in the sight of her little family. She smiled contentedly.
“Aaah is that so tesoro” Carina answered, frowning but smiling at her little boy. Her little Liam.
“Urgggggh baah”
“Hi bambina” Carina said as she spotted her wife in the corner of the room, walking towards them.
“Hi probie” she said as she cupped his little head with her hand. Stroking his almost bald blonde scalp with her thumb. “Hi mama” she continued, giving Carina a kiss.
“How was your day?” she asked, sitting down on the edge of the bed, close enough to her family that she could put her hand on Carina’s thigh and play with Liam’s tiny tiny toes. Caressing both the loves of her life at the same time.
“Busy, right angioletto?”
“Did you practice for the olympics again probie?”
Liam smiled. His gummy grin and sparkly blue eyes confirming just what she had suspected.
“You did, didn’t you?”
“He did. This little escape artist never wants to be still”
“Did you at least let mama have a nap, Liam?”
Carina moved her eyes, looking at Maya instead. “20 minutes” she said, playfully rolling her eyes.
“Oh no. We can’t have a tired mama can we?” she says as Carina chuckles. “I just have to shower and then I can give him his bottle, sounds good?”
“Sounds perfect, bambina”
Maya stroked her wife’s cheek, placing a kiss on her forehead before heading to the bathroom.

A shower and skin care routine later Maya was curled up in bed, clinging to her wife and son. Maya’s head on Carina’s shoulder, Liam in her lap. They lay listening to the tiny gulps and suckles their boy made when drinking his nighttime bottle.
Carina feels Maya’s eyes on her. “What is it?” she asks.
“I just.. I- … I- can’t stop staring at you.”
“Bambina..”
“I love you” she says, tears slowly covering her orbs. “You know that right?”
“We know” she says, placing a kiss on Maya’s temple. “We know” she says again. The sound coming out muffled due to Carina nuzzling her nose close in her wife’s hair.
“Bambina I am so sorry but I have to pee” Carina admits.
“Nooo” Maya burst out.
“I really have to, I’m sorry”
“But we were so comfy” Maya whines, pouting her lips
“I know” Carina pouts back. “I will be back in one minute”
“Hmm”
“I go pee or I pee on you, you choose”
“What if I choose the second option? Wouldn’t be the first time” Maya teases.
“Basta!” the italian says hurriedly standing up walking towards the bathroom.
Liam chooses that exact moment to spit out the nipple of the bottle, frowning at his mom, causing Maya to giggle.
“Sorry probie. We’ll behave. I promise”
