Six years ago this month, you and Javier had thrown reason aside. At the time, you hadn’t realized just how monumental of an occasion it was. How would you have ever guessed that one night would bring you a lifetime of joy. 

It was still surreal to think that you had a five-year-old. A bright-eyed, witty, and smart little girl who was starting kindergarten. 

Javier was beside himself. He woke up an hour before the alarm went off and set up camp in Josie’s bedroom — watching her as she slept. You joined him, since you were already awake. Leaning back against his chest as he held you. 

You weren’t nearly as affected as he was. Less than a month after she was born, you were sending her down the hall to a babysitter so you could get back to work before they found a reason to fire you. You were working when she started going to preschool — leaving Javier to take her and pick her up most days. 

It touched you that Javier was so affected by Josie starting kindergarten. For all of his rough-around-the-edges exterior — he was a marshmallow when it came to his family. You’d watched him fight back tears as you rounded the final corner and parked a block down from the school. 

“Why can’t sissy go with me?” Josie questioned, looking up at Javier as she grasped tightly at his hand, walking side-by-side with him up the sidewalk path that led to the school. 

Javier glanced back over his shoulder at you and Sofía before he stopped. “Because she’s not a big girl like you are JoJo.” He told her as he crouched down to her height. “Kindergarten is for big girls.”

“And I’m a big girl?”

You smiled, resting your hand on Javier’s shoulder as you nodded. “You are a big girl! And in just a few years, she’ll be in kindergarten just like you.”

“Don’t remind me.” Javier grumbled quietly. “Remember everything we’ve taught you, princesa. Okay?”

“Okay, daddy.” Josie grinned. “It’s just like preschool, right?”

“Except you’ll be learning a lot more in kindergarten.” You explained. “And you have to be extra good.”

“Oh!” Her eyes widened. “But I like talking, mommy. They didn’t like that at preschool.”

Javier snorted, “Yes. We are aware of that. Just try to sit and listen like a big girl, okay?” He reached out and tucked her hair behind her ear. “And then I’ll pick you up and take you for ice cream.”

“You spoil her.” He swatted his back lightly, before you readjusted Sofía in your arms. “I know you’re gonna do a great job, babydoll.”

“I know too.” She beamed, before she threw her arms around Javi and hugged him tightly. “Mommy?”

“Yeah?” You questioned, brows furrowed as she looked up at you. 

In her very obvious conspiratorial whisper, Josie offered, “I think daddy’s sad.”

Javier let out a strained chuckle and you rubbed your hand over the width of his shoulders. “I just can’t believe you’re already in school, JoJo. That’s all.”

Sofía kicked her legs, trying desperately to get out of your hold. She babbled, mostly nonsensical attempts at voicing her displeasure for not being able to go where Josie was going. 

“Babe,” You started, reaching out for Javier’s hand as he stood back up. “I’m gonna take her back to the car. Okay?”

He frowned, “You don’t want to see Josie off to her first day of school?”

You shook your head, “I want you to have this moment, Javi.” You cupped his cheek, smiling up at him. 

Javier closed the distance and kissed you gently, “Thank you, baby.”

“I know you’ve been dreading this for… five years.” You brushed your fingers over his forehead, fluffing his hair. “Go walk your daughter to school.”

Sofía grabbed at Javier, trying to get him to take her from you. “Sorry, sunshine. Daddy’s gotta take Josie to school.” You tickled her, earning a fit of giggles, before you turned back towards Javier. “And I won’t judge you if you cry.”

“You better not.” He taunted with a grin, rubbing Sofía’s back before he looked down at Josie. “Let’s get you to class.”

As much as you might want to walk her into her classroom, it wasn’t like you hadn’t already met her teacher — Ms. Bryant — at the parent-teacher night. You wanted Javier to have this special moment with his daughter.

You were still trying to make up for him not being present for her birth. Josie was his entire world. These were the important memories you wanted Josie to have with her father. They were the kind that she’d hold onto forever. 

And maybe, deep down, it stirred up your own memories. You wanted Josie to have everything you didn’t have growing up. You wanted her to have those special memories. 

“JoJo?” Sofía mumbled, straining to look back over your shoulder as you started towards the Jeep. 

“She’ll be home this evening,” You told her, even though you knew she didn’t really understand what you were saying. “She’s got to go learn.” 

Sofía seemed satisfied with that answer, trying to stick her whole fist in her mouth as she rested her head on your shoulder. 

You got her settled into her car seat, setting up the little plastic tray that sat across her seat so she could snack on goldfish while you waited for Javier to return to the car. You knew it was going to be hard on him. Which was the precise reason why you had taken the day off. You were trying, slowly but surely, to back away from your roll at the police department. 

Steve had officially parted ways with the DEA and, with his own consulting business set up, you were looking forward to partnering with him and taking a more active role Sofía and Josie. And maybe you were looking at the adjunct faculty paperwork Javier had brought home for you. 

Sometimes you missed being in the field — but without Javier and Steve it would never be the same as things had once been in Colombia. You couldn’t cling to something that couldn’t happen again. 

“How about Toy Story?” You remarked to your daughter, glancing back at her as she pushed the goldfish around on her tray. You grabbed the cassette case from the backseat, grabbing the Toy Story Read-Along tape and sticking it into the cassette player. Unlike Josie, who all the tapes were bought for, Sofía loved listening to them in the car or in the nursery. 

And whatever soothed her, you were willing to try. Even still, Sofía was a difficult baby. Always on the go, even before she could walk. She started with scooting her butt on the floor, sliding herself everywhere and entirely bypassing the crawling stage. 

She and Josie were night and day. 

“You like that?” You questioned as the voice on the tape started talking. You turned back around to look at her, smiling as you watched her sink back against the car seat, fumbling to get another goldfish into her mouth as she contentedly listened to the narration. 

Javier returned nearly thirty minutes into the Toy Story narration, just as Sofía was starting to drift off. At least she’d take a nap when you got back to the house. He was trying to put on like he hadn’t been crying, but the distinct redness under his eyes made it obvious that he had been. 

“You wanna go home?” You questioned, reaching over to take his hand into yours. 

He squeezed your hand, rubbing his thumb over the back of yours as he gave a stiff nod. “I can’t believe she’s in kindergarten.” 

You exhaled slowly, chewing on your bottom lip as you studied him. “Me neither. How’d she do?”

“No tears.” He answered with a short chuckle, pinching at the bridge of his nose. “A couple of the kids from preschool are in her class. She was thrilled. Went straight over and started playing with some building blocks.” Javier sniffed quietly, “Baby, I feel like I’m gonna blink and she’s going to be off to college tomorrow.” 

“I know.” You sympathized, bringing his hand up to your lips so you could kiss each knuckle. “Sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and I think it’s going to be my first day at the DEA all over again.” You smiled softly at him. “All we can do is hope we’ve given her all the tools she needs to succeed in school.” 

“I just can’t believe she’s in kindergarten.” Javier clicked his tongue against his teeth, his gaze flickering towards the backseat where Sofía was quietly snoring with a sticky goldfish stuck to her chin. “We should take her home.”

You squeezed his hand tightly, “Javi.”

“Hmm?” He glanced back at you. 

“You’re a really good father.”

Javier let out a shaky breath, “Baby, you’re gonna make me cry again.” He complained, releasing your hand so he could wipe at his eyes. “Shit.”

“I’m just saying,” You started, keeping your eyes on his face. “If I could have more children, I would do it in a heartbeat, because I love how you are with our girls.” You leaned over the center console and kissed his cheek. “Guess we’ll just have to wait till we have grandkids.”

Javier gaped at you, “Baby, she just started kindergarten ten minutes ago. We are not gonna talk about our baby having babies.”

You laughed, pulling your seatbelt on. “It could be worse. If we started sooner we could have a ten-year-old.”

“And when exactly would we have done it earlier?”

At least this had gotten him out of his funk. “I could’ve gotten behind your vibe the night I bagged us Lehder.” You grinned, putting the car into reverse as you inched back, so you could out of the spot easier. “You were very… I don’t know what the right word is.”

“I was in awe of you, baby.” Javier admitted, dragging his fingers through his hair as he sank back into his seat. “You think we would’ve made it?”

You shrugged, “In my hypothetical world where we had six kids?”

“Six?” He sputtered.

You snorted, “Babe. I’m just kidding.” You reached over and squeezed his thigh. “Two is plenty, thank you very much.”

“Two is a handful,” He agreed, resting his hand over yours. “What would that even look like?”

“Four too many kids.” You laughed quietly, staring straight ahead as you drove. “I hope you understood why I let you be the one to take Josie in.”

“Yeah.” He nodded, tapping his thumb against your fingers. “Thank you, baby.”

“You’re welcome.” You gave his leg three squeezes, before you returned your hand to the steering wheel. 

Javier leaned forward to turn Toy Story down, but you shot him a look. “What?”

“She will start crying.”

“Really?”

“Go ahead and test it, Javi.” You shot back. “Frankly, I was looking forward to her napping when we got home. But, go ahead.” You waved your hand dismissively. 

“What did you have in mind?”

You tilted your head to look at him as you rolled up to a stop sign. “I was contemplating a nap.” 

“A nap?”

“Well, the nap was going to follow a workout.” You pressed your tongue to the inside of your cheek as you turned to look at him.

“You don’t have to go in today?”

You shook your head, “Took off just for you.”

“You’re too good to me, baby.”

“Only because you’re good to me.” You smiled at him, before focusing on the road again. “And if she wakes up, we could take Stevie for a run and set her up in the new stroller.”

Javier pursed his lips, “We could do that while she naps.”

Your brows shot upwards, “Really?”

He shrugged, “Gotta keep in shape if I plan on seeing my five-year-old give me grandkids.”

“The old man is finally concerned with his health.” You punched the air with a laugh. 

“Easy there, Miss High Blood Pressure.”

“Excuse you, it’s Ms.” 

He rolled his eyes, “Alright, Ms.” 

“Thank you.” You smirked. “See, not so hard.”

“You should tell that to JoJo’s teacher who couldn’t fathom why you aren’t Mrs. Peña.”

You scoffed, “I thought we sorted that out at the conference.”

He shrugged, “She was back at being confused about it. Don’t worry, Josie set her straight.”

“Oh? She’s going to get into so much trouble.”

“She’s a carbon copy of you.”

“Well, my sass has gotten me into so much trouble.” You made a face. “Did she remember the accent on Josie’s name at least?”

He nodded, “She did get that right.”

You blinked twice, feeling the faint prickle of tears as you pulled into your driveway. “Fuck. We have a kindergartener, Javi. It just hit me.”

“It’s fucking crazy, baby.”

Five years had slipped by in an instant. Josie had gone from newborn infant to the five-year-old who left her bike laying in the front yard after you told her twice to put it up. And that was somehow the tipping point.

Another summer had slipped by. 

And Josie wasn’t at preschool for half a day. There was no rushing to pick her up. She was in school, where she’d be every day during the school year, until she was eighteen. 

And then she'd go to college and move out. 

Somehow that led you down the path about your own age and Javier’s. He’d be in his early sixties when Josie went to college. 

Before you knew it, both of your girls would have lives of your own and you and Javier would be old empty nesters. 

Javier reached over and rubbed your back. “And you thought you weren’t gonna get emotional about our kid going to school.”

“Fuck off.” You laughed, wiping at your teary eyes before you slapped at his leg playfully.

second day playing Overwatch doing quick plays and i can definitely say i now have a main for all categories based on kills, less deaths, heals, defends, and victories!

Reaper - i got my first Play of the Game with him! (is there a way to rewatch it? i recorded it with my phone though but my phone wasnt so near the screen so it might not be too clear) when i did 5 consecutive kills with his op ultimate lool it was so lit since it stopped the payload from moving. and that helped our team reverse it, turn the tables, and win eventually. and i’ve done so many kills with him.. he’s so fun to use. i love the fact that the best way to use him is when near enemies so i literally just teleport behind or near them then attack. then when almost low health, retreat back or to a health station. definitely my fave!!

Bastion - my precious robot.. honestly protect him. love his character design and the fact he’s gentle. i’ve done many kills with him too. i also love how i can just hide in one spot and just shoot whichever i see even from afar and his self-heal is so helpful since it prevented me from getting killed many times and turn the tables around. and his ultimate is so fun to use too lmao like there were enemies who were contesting the area we’re supposed to defend and they really thought they got it but i just swooped in with my ultimate and killed all of them haha

Orisa - i love how her gravity pull can help you kill so many people instantly.. like i just set up a barrier in front then use the gravity pull then when all enemies get sucked in i just target the orb and i’ll get at least 2 kills. she’s a great tank! even tho her ultimate is more support.. but its good when you all are trying to push towards the enemy base together or defending a payload or area since it buffs your team. she’s definitely easy to use imo and fun to use too

Moira - i love how she’s both offense and healer despite being a support character which is amazing. since TBH i prefer not playing as Support cause i love doing the attacking and killing. but there are times NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY so i just do that (it’s very sometimes tho haha) but Moira manages to be the best of both worlds that there are times i just pick her when ive played the other roles in prev games to add variety. and the fact you have to damage enemies to replenish your ability to heal and it’s perf for me! cause like i dont wanna just heal, i wanna kill and damage enemies too! i even got voted 5 times in one game too for using her which is greatt. and her orb attacks/heals are so cool too and fun to watch

So Yeeeaahh! this game is super fun! now im gonna master these heroes and make sure i improve their career profiles before i decide to maybe practice using other heroes. but yeah, the best way to practice is definitely through Quick Plays.. and at this rate, i’ll probably purchase the yearly PSN membership haha if i could play at least 5 hours per month, then that’d be $1 per hour which isnt bad in the worst case scenario. ofc i’ll make sure to play more hours than that

but yeah, damn this game is sooo fun!!! and im defiitely getting the hang of it the more i play. and i’ve definitely made massive leaps of improvement which is greatt.. cant wait to be able to play competitive in a few months time i guess lol

and my PSN is “carloscraig” since “carlowesome” wasnt available and i didnt know which username i should pick lol so i just went with the alliteration.
