"dad, look, the giraffes!"
reiner smiles while your daughter is still sitting on his shoulders, getting a vip sight of the big and beautiful animals she loves. her giraffe plushie hanging on her hand while the other is gripped to his father's neck, both of them looking to the giraffes while reiner's free hand has yours caged inside.
"mom, mom, look! there's a family. like us!" she points two adults and a little giraffe. the big ones rub their heads lovely while watching the little one trying to walk. she sees you there. reflected in that giraffes. you can't help but smile.

your daughter ends her drawing for class while reiner prepares her dinner. the drawing shows a tall man, hugged to a woman, with a girl on their arms and a big heart around them.
"mommy can you write the back of the drawing?" she asks. you nod, taking a pen, and reiner turns around to hear his daughter. "this are mom, dad and i." she starts. "got it mom?" nodding, she finds the signal to continue. "mom is beautiful and kind. dad is tall and sweet. and i love them very very very much!" she ends. taking her drawing form your frozen hands, she leaves happily. reiner passes an arm on your shoulders while happy tears run down your face.
"she's the biggest light of our lifes."

reiner was taking longer than usual to sleep the baby. you walk silently to the baby room, finding your husband with his hand on the baby bed.
"rein..." you start. he cuts you.
"she grabbed my finger and i can't let her go it." he says, bewitched by the breathing of your daughter and the way she's grabbing his hand. you hug his back, your face resting on his nape, a lazy kiss on his neck.
"thanks for giving me the opportunity to love you and the honor to create her." he whispers.

the little girl was sitting on a chair, his dad making her two ponytails while you prepared breakfast for the three of you.
"mommy is it ready?" she asks. you nod, giving her fruit to her while he ends tying the ponytail. she takes her backpack and his dad's hand while he takes his work stuff. getting closer to you, he kisses your lips before you kneel, getting your daughter's kiss and hug, before watching the two of them leave. you love them too much.

"i'm afraid she thinks i'm not a good father." he says, hugged to your back, once he gets in bed. you turn around.
"why?" you ask. "her eyes shine every time she hears you opening the door."
"i don't know..." he says, playing with your wedding ring. "i want to be a good father to her.
you get closer to him, a kiss left on his lips
"you're the best father, reiner. she adores you as much as i do. you're her hero."

"some time alone, finally." you say. reiner's smile gets bigger when he feels your body against his. he wants to touch your skin so bad...
"mom." you hear. looking to the door, your daughter is crying. she has her giraffe on her hands and she wipes the tears away with the other. "i had a nightmare where you and dad didn't love me anymore." she sobs. you two stand up to pick her from the ground.
"we love you, sweetie." he says, patting her head while he takes her into his big arms. "we love you even more than before."
"promise?" she asks, sobs mixed with hiccups.
"promise."
now, the little girl sleeps between your bodies. and also a giraffe.
