Archer gazed into Ravena's violet eyes, but all she did was give him a pout. She huffed, turning away from him dramatically. Grinning, he leaned closer and gently poked the adorable baby's chubby belly, coaxing a giggle from his daughter. Emboldened, he tickled her sides, her laughter erupting in joyful bursts, filling the room.
''Stop acting like your mother, little lady,'' he teased, his voice playful as he wiggled his fingers near her belly. ''You'll never resist me and my tickles!''
Ravena's giggles exploded into a flood of infectious laughter, her eyes sparkling. Sera appeared beside him, a warm smile spreading across her face. ''Look at you two,'' she said, her tone laced with mock jealousy. ''It's like you're best friends already. I can't even win her over when she's being stubborn like that.''
