1994, early spring

You and Slash have been married for almost three years. He’s still touring, still recording, still showing up to family events in sunglasses and leather, but somehow, still completely yours.

One weekend, you're both at your cousin’s house for a backyard BBQ. Nothing big — just family, folding chairs, and her baby girl dozing in your lap. You cradle the baby gently, rocking her back and forth while she tugs playfully at your necklace. Slash sits beside you, a beer in his hand, his sunglasses pushed into his curls.

He watches in silence. Not the kind that feels distant — the kind that feels heavy. The baby blinks up at you and giggles. You smile and lean down to kiss her forehead.

Slash shifts closer. He kisses your temple and says it soft: “You’d be such a good mom.”
