Babysitter
If she was honest, Olivia had been rather sceptic about having Rafael babysit Noah for a whole day. Of course, she trusted him, and she knew that Noah and Rafael were getting along very well, but Rafael also didn't have so much experience with children. However, as Rafael had been the only one who'd had time on such short notice, she hadn't had any choices.
It was already very late, later than she'd preferred, as she unlocked the door to her apartment and tip-toed in, trying not to fall over all the toys that were lying on the floor. A small smile played around her lips; the boys had obviously been having so much fun that they'd forgot to take care of the mess they were leaving behind.
As it was so quiet in the apartment, she assumed that Noah was already in bed, but that left the question where Rafael was. She was sure that he wouldn't have just left, he'd promised to wait for her to come home.
Olivia made her way towards the door to Noah's room, nearly breaking her neck as she stumbled over a toy. The gleam of Noah's nightlight was coming through the gap of the slightly open door, and as Olivia entered the room, she could feel her heart melt.
Noah was lying on his bed in his pyjama, fast asleep in the arms of Rafael, and the two were snoring in unison, looking exhausted but content. Rafael's fingers were loosely clutching one of Noah's favourite bedtime books, and Olivia carefully took it and put it on the nightstand.
This was a completely different Rafael Barba than the one she knew – this Barba was wearing jeans and a grey t-shirt that had spots of tomato sauce on it, his short black hair was disheveled and the faint shadow of a beard was lying over his cheekbones. Olivia found that this Barba looked at least just as handsome as the Barba she knew from work, and she couldn't keep herself from pressing a kiss to his cheek after giving Noah his goodnight kiss.
