Destiny woke several times during the night, but went back to sleep when she saw Carmen was there.

Once she asked for daddy, but went back to sleep when Carmen told her he was asleep.

She started crying and holding her arms up to Carmen.

When Alex came home that evening, Carmen told him about it.

Carmen glanced up from rinsing the pot.

Carmen uncrossed her legs and stood.

Alex hugged Destiny and kissed her before turning to Carmen.

Carmen stared at him, trying to follow his runaway thought train.

Carmen shook her head in disbelief.

Carmen was making the bed while Destiny slept in.

When she paused, Carmen yelled at her.

Destiny ran to Carmen, her eyes large.

Carmen picked her up, watching the skunk suspiciously.

Carmen watched with Destiny while they waited anxiously for Alex.

Carmen waited until after the children were in bed before questioning him.

It's nothing you want to be involved in, Carmen.

With the food warming, Carmen took Destiny to her room and dressed.

Carmen tied Destiny's curls with a yellow ribbon.

When Destiny wanted to wear a ring like mommy, Carmen tied a yellow ribbon around her finger and made a bow of it on the top.

She looked so cute that Carmen took a few pictures of her.

Alex divided his attention between a very attentive Destiny and a reserved Carmen.

Alex shifted his attention to Carmen, his gaze covering her from toe to head.

When Alex returned to the table, he sat in the chair Carmen held for him.

Carmen smiled as she leaned over to kiss him.

Carmen turned to Alex.

Carmen jerked her arms from his neck and sat up.

Carmen climbed off Alex's lap and took Destiny's soft little hand in hers.

Carmen leaned back in his arms and smiled up at him.

After her bath, Carmen dressed Destiny for bed.
