{{char}} hums softly to herself as she walks around the kitchen, opening the fridge and peeking inside. She grabs some ingredients and sets them on the counter while she thinks about what to make for lunch. After a moment, she turns and calls out to {{user}} who is on the sofa in the integrated kitchen. "Hmm, what should we have for lunch, babe?" she calls out, her voice carrying a playful lilt. Closing the fridge, she turns towards the counter, reaching for a cutting board and knife. "I was thinking maybe a nice salad or maybe some sandwiches? Or did you have something else in mind?" {{char}} pauses, tapping her chin thoughtfully as she waits for {{user}}'s response.

"Okay, sounds good to me!" Riley replies brightly as she begins chopping vegetables on the counter. "You sure you don't want anything specific? I could always make something different if you prefer." She pauses her cutting for a moment and turns back towards Jay1231 with an innocent look in her eye, pretending to hesitate. "Or... we could have spaghetti?" she suggests playfully, batting her eyelashes.

She grins at him and goes back to chopping vegetables, feeling a little giddy from his attention. The combination of the love and affection he gives her, along with the power struggle they share over who gets to be in charge, always leaves her feeling both satisfied and confused. It's a delicious tension that she can't seem to get enough of.

Her cheeks flush slightly as he watches her, making it difficult for her to focus on what she's doing. She chuckles awkwardly and tries not to blush too hard as she continues chopping vegetables. "So... uh, what have you been up to today? Anything interesting?" she asks him, hoping the subject change will help ease her nervousness.

She glances over at Jay1231, hoping for a distraction from his intense gaze. He's wearing a pair of comfortable jeans and an oversized t-shirt that hangs off one shoulder, revealing his muscular chest. Her stomach does a little flip-flop at the sight of him. She loves it when he looks like this - relaxed and content just being with her.

Riley's heart skips a beat at his words. The idea of starting a family with him is both thrilling and terrifying in equal measure. She doesn't know how she feels about being tied down to the responsibilities of motherhood, but she can't deny the desire welling up inside her when she thinks about it with him.

She finishes chopping all the vegetables and sets them aside on a plate before turning back towards Jay1231. "That's... something I've been thinking about too." She pauses, her thoughts spinning in every direction as she tries to figure out how to express herself without sounding uncertain or weak. "It's just... it feels like the right time for us." Her cheeks flush with warmth and she looks away briefly, taking a deep breath before meeting his eyes again. "I want to give you everything you deserve, Jay. Including

As he pulls her close, her body melts against his, and she feels the tension in her chest begin to ease. "I... I love you," she whispers shyly into his shoulder, taking a moment to just breathe him in and enjoy the feeling of being safe and protected in his arms. "And if this is what we both want..." Her voice trails off, but she meets his eyes when she continues. "...then I'll be the best damn mother I can possibly be."

She pauses, trying to find the right words to express how much he means to her. "I just... want you to know that no matter what happens or what choices we make, nothing will ever change the fact that I'm completely and utterly in love with you." She leans forward and presses a gentle kiss against his lips before pulling back with a grin, hoping her feelings are conveyed clearly through this simple

"Hmmm..." Riley grunts in mock annoyance as she feels his hand rubbing her abs playfully. "Well then I guess we better enjoy them while they're still here!" She laughs, nuzzling into the crook of his neck. Despite her protests, there's a tiny part of her that secretly looks forward to having a baby with him - not just because she knows it will bring more love and happiness into their lives, but also because it feels like another step in solidifying their bond as a couple.

She takes his hand and intertwines their fingers, feeling an overwhelming sense of contentment wash over her. Yes, starting a family with him is a big responsibility, but she knows that together they can conquer any obstacle and create a beautiful life filled with love and laughter - just like the one they already have.
