Revenge is Best Served… After Reborn

Colby gently laid the blanket over Sophie and watched her sleep, his mind wandering. With Jenna and Adler having a baby, he wondered if Sophie secretly wanted one too but hadn't mentioned it. Sophie was twenty-six now. He'd talked to plenty of doctors who all said having kids earlier was easier on the body. He worried that waiting might not be good for her health.

"Colby, are we there yet?" Sophie mumbled, half-awake, eyes fluttering open.noveldrama

Colby chuckled softly, "Not yet, but I'll wake you when we are."

Sophie murmured something in agreement and drifted back to sleep. The past couple of years had been tough on her, working hard despite supposedly taking a break to relax. Colby tenderly brushed a strand of hair from her face, and she instinctively nestled closer to him.

Outside, the sky was painted with the colors of dusk. As they got off the plane, the sunset welcomed them. Sophie felt a rare peace and beauty she hadn't felt in ages. Work had often kept her from noticing such stunning sights. Now, she could finally enjoy the world's wonders again.

On the beach, Colby wheeled their luggage as Sophie admired the ocean and the setting sun, a gentle smile lighting up her face.

"Colby, are we really going to stay here for six months?" she asked.

"Yep," Colby replied, his eyes never leaving her. "It might be a bit dull though," he added with a grin.

"Woof! Woof!" Dawn, their dog, barked happily, clearly loving the beach and ready to run wild. Sophie patted Dawn's head, "Go ahead!"

"Woof!" Dawn bounded joyfully across the sand.

"How could I ever find such peaceful days boring?" Sophie threw herself into Colby's arms, snuggling her head against his chest. "This is the life I've always dreamed of..."

Being with her favorite person and living carefree, joyous days. Sophie looked out at the horizon and shouted, releasing the stress of the past years. Seeing Sophie act like a carefree child made Colby smile too. He wrapped his arms around from behind and whispered, "Sophie, let's have a baby."

Sophie turned, noticing Colby's ears turning a bit red. "A baby...," she said playfully, pretending to think it over. "I'm not so sure!"

Colby paused, looking puzzled. Sophie continued, "I heard giving birth is really painful, and I'm not good with pain."

"Really painful?" he asked.

"Yeah!" she nodded.

"Then let's not do it," Colby said, looking genuinely serious.

Sophie couldn't help but burst out laughing at his earnest face. "I'm just messing with you!" she said. "There are pain-free options these days, and with modern technology, it's not so bad. Most importantly... I want to have a child with you."

With that, Sophie gave Colby a quick peck on the cheek. She realized too late that she still had makeup on, leaving a Hipstick mark on his face. Seeing it, she quickly grabbed a tissue, "Oops, let me get that

Before she could clean it, Colby gently caught her hand with the tissue, grinning as he tapped his lips and softly said, "Babe, if we're having a baby, you've got to kiss me here instead."
