A heart of gold

She had never felt more excited to come back to their apartment. She could see the familiar roads, buildings, and usual vendors loitering the street, but this time, it felt different. 

Now, she was not just going home to her quiet apartment. She was building a family with her loving husband. They were finally taking their son home.

Dani could not wait to welcome their child and show him where he would grow up. It was not as big as the mansion she grew up in or the palace his father had lived in his entire youth. But it was a home that they planned to fill with joy, laughter, and love.

"You will love it, Ares." She whispered to the little angel in her arms while he responded with a bright smile on his lips. "You love that, Ares, don't you." She kept repeating his name, hoping he would soon identify himself with such a beautiful name.

"I think he does, Dani. Look at his smile." Alex answered for their son as he held his little finger in his hand.
