Could you please tell me if this is natural?

Hi teachers. Could you please tell me if this is natural? Is there anything about it that you would improve?


Mom: How is it going with dad and Rachel? Are they still fighting a lot?

Daughter: Yes. Last night I heard them yell. I don't like it when they fight.

Mom: No, I understand. But then let's hope dad finds someone else soon.

Daughter: No, I don't want him to find anyone else! I like Rachel.

Mom: Okay. Then let's just hope they stop fighting, alright?

Daughter: Alright.
