*Joel’s POV* Life on the road has been great. Mila has started talking and keeps saying mum, but today she looked at me and said, dada, my heart melted when Mila called me Dada. It made me want to be the best Dad I can be. And makes me hope that in the future, Nicolina and I can have children. We know it will take medical intervention for Nic to become pregnant again, but we have spoken about it, and maybe after we are married, we could try for a baby. I walk to the team tent and make sure Lissa is ready for her first competition, and I love that Nicolina is sitting with Lissa keeping her calm. I love that Lissa is treating Mila like her Niece. I noticed that Lissa has been coming over and taking Mila shopping and doing everything an aunty does with their niece. I lean on the door frame
