"Mommy can we have ice cream for breakfast ?" my four years old daughter Rosie asked as we were doing some grocery shopping.
"No baby, but we can bake a cake for daddy since he's coming back from his race tonight how does that sound ?" I looked down at her as she was exploring the aisles of the supermarket.
She nodded mumbling a small "okay", she put her hands up so that I could place her in the cart. My left hand was under the bum of my second baby who was in the baby wrapper on my chest.
Nico and I had recently welcomed our second baby into the family, our little boy Timmy. He was 6 months old and Rosie was the best big sister he could ever have. She's so protective of him and loves helping me giving him a bath.
My husband was currently away in Mexico to do what he loves the most, racing. He hates being away from us but we were waiting for Timmy to grow a little bit so that I could bring him to a race alongside Rosie of course.
He's such a cutie, he loves to sleep a lot, especially with Rosie on my bed. He's very calm compared to her which is always a bonus.
We finished our little shopping and went back home to bake Nico's surprise.
"Mommy ?" Rosie asked while I was finishing mixing the batter. She was standing on a stool to reach my height while Timmy was napping in his bassinet.
"Mmm ?"
"Can we get another sister and brother ?" she asked that out of the blue and I let got the wooden spoon I was holding. Poor little love didn't know what giving birth was.
"Rosie we have to talk to daddy about that! Plus don't you think Timmy should grow a little before ?" she pouted clearly sad with my answer but it was the truth and I couldn't give her hopes.
The door opened as I mentioned my love who entered our sweet home.
Rosie screamed "Daddy !!" and ran towards him tackling him to the ground with a huge hug. He was beaming and I understood he was a bit tired by looking at him.
Nico got up and walked to me kissing me softly on the lips, wrapping his arms around my waist linking his forehead with mine.
"I missed you all so bad"
I hummed kissing him again parting ways so I could put the cake in the oven. "Daddy I made a cake for you" she giggled, knowing she was lying Nico picked her up in his arms effortlessly and played with her tiring her out.
She ended up falling asleep in his arms with one of her cheeks smushed against his shoulder which was the cutest thing ever.
Nico put her in the middle of our bed and we decided to eat a slice of the cake 'she' had made.
"So how are my babies doing ?" Nico asked chewing.
"Well, your sweet little girl asked for another brother and sister. As for Timmy who's napping, he's growing up so fast" I giggled at the thought of Rosie who tried to change Timmy's diaper earlier in the day.
Nico eyes widened at my answer.
"Oh really? Another one ?" I groaned and nodded. "Yeah she was begging me but Nico if you want a third baby I can't right now, I'm still recovering from Timmy" he nodded grabbing my hands in comfort.
Timmy's birth was hardest than Rosie, I almost had a c-section and passed out for three hours unconscious because my body couldn't handle it.
"Liebe, I would never force you to do something like that. If you want to wait then I'll wait." I pouted and sat on his lap with my hand behind his neck.
"Thank you, Nico, I love you" he replied the same and went to see Timmy who was awake and squirming in his bassinet.
I went to our bedroom and lied down with Rosie, Nico then joined us with Timmy sucking on his bottle.
We were all in bed, happy and at that moment I knew that Nico was a great dad despite being away most of the time. He's all I ever need and I'm so grateful to have him.

"You know Seb is right, I have the best family ever" I blushed and looked at Timmy who was now in my arms. "We're fortunate to have you Nico don't ever doubt it !"
He smiled and we stayed like this for the rest of the day.
By dinner time, Rosie was awake and asking for ice cream again. Giving him her famous puppy eyes, Nico gave in and they ate messily leaving me and Timmy watching and laughing at their manners.
Everything was right where we wanted and I couldn't ask for anything better.
