Beno offered, "I am sure I know what your dad would enjoy most.”
Alex chuckled as he looked at her and fondly recalled the previous night, which instantly gave him pleasant thoughts from his vivid imagination about more of such experiences in her embrace. His brief lapse and allowing his mind to wander unguarded had the consequence of having forgotten that his mind was not entirely his own anymore and he quickly tried to keep his mind more on his surroundings as she gave him a playful scolding of sorts, but followed it with promises that she was looking forward to the same things.
The conversation had taken a turn though and he hadn't really had time to give serious consideration to the idea of them having a child together. It was then that he realized that the idea didn't bother him in the least. In fact, his overactive imagination briefly pondered the concept, but he was more careful. He was known for his deep thinking and wondered what course such a thing might take. What about her career and would they remain in Star Fleet? Perhaps he would stay home with the kids? What would she want to do? This might be a conversation they would need to have in the near future. For now, his heart found the idea of possibly making a life with Beno to be a very comforting thought. He had found love once and when his wife had died, he had resolved himself to live with his grief and that he had no right to expect that lightning might be able to strike again. The universe had given and the universe had taken away. However, the universe also doesn't like people thinking they have figured it out, so apparently lighting did strike again. The result was his heart having been filled once more, not just with the love for his daughter, but by some miracle a woman that could not only match him in many ways, but was able to surprise him in her own right. That was new for him. It then struck him that his sister would have loved her too.
Alex continued to watch them both, not wanting to look away. He loved them both and he didn't mind them knowing it.
