Backstory
Life has changed for Rafael, Liv, and Noah greatly over the last eight years. Rafael adopted Noah the day after their wedding, officially making him Noah Benson Barba. Rafael and Liv were married on the beach at sunset with Noah, Brooklyn, and Zach by their side. Noah recently turned 12, and Brook and Zach turned 7. Olivia being promoted from Sergeant to Lieutenant.
Raf wakes up to the sound of their alarm clock going off, he groaned as he rolled over, arms slide out under his wife. When he turned the alarm off, he turns back toward his wife, Olivia watching her sleep. He hated to wake her up when she looks so peaceful,
"Olivia, Olivia, Liv?" Raf says as he nudges her trying to wake her.
Liv finally awoke and turned toward him smiling.
"Morning mi amor, sorry I had to wake you, but we are going to be late" Raf placed a kiss on her mouth
"Morning, we need to get the kids up."
She said as she was sitting up, he pulled her back down into her arms saying,
"The kids are usually up before we are, sweetheart"
As Brooklyn and Zach came running in jumping on their parents bed.
"Hey my sweet angle, my little boy where my other hijo?" Raf asked.
When he didn't see Noah coming after the twins,
"Noah is in bed and will not get up" Brook said.
"We tried to get him to come with us but he said no and told us to leave him alone, I think he's mad at us" Zach said.
"I'll go check on him" Raf said to Liv knowing that was not the problem.
Noah loved his brother and sister. He got up scooped Brook into his arms and headed to Noah's room, as Raf walked into Noah's room.
"Hey buddy, why are you still in bed?" Raf asked.
Noah turned to faced him wheezing from an asthma attack.
"Need breathing treatment, Papi" Noah said.
Raf sat Brook down and rushed to the kitchen to get Noah's medicine, with Brook on his heel, Rafael grabbed what he needed and headed back to Noah's room. Raf met Liv in the hallway.
"What's wrong?" Liv asked as she followed Raf and Brook with Zach in her arms into Noah's bedroom.
"Brother can't breathe good" Brook said as she looked at Noah scared.
Liv put her hand on her daughter and watched as Raf fixed Noah's breathing treatment. They all sat watching 12-year-old Noah finishing his treatment, when he got done, he looked at his little brother and sister who always got scared when his asthma got really bad, smiling and making funny faces at them.
"Feeling better hijo?" Raf asked.
"Si, Papi" Noah said raking a deep breath of air, tackling his sister on his bed and grabbing at his brother in his mother's arms.
"You three are crazy, fighting like cats and dogs one minute and laughing and getting along the next" Raf laughed.
"We just squabbling like you and mami" Noah said smiling knowing the promise his parents made to each other even before they started going out.
