Summary: His eyes then moved back toward the slide to watch as Noah slid down once more.
A/N: This was written for the 'energy' prompt at thebarsondaily.

Noah's energy astounded him. He watched as the young boy raced up the ladder to the slide once again. This was his sixth time in a row to climb those steps. He chuckled softly before he collapsed onto the bench next to the boy's mother.

Olivia snuggled into his side, placing her hand on his thigh. She pressed a soft kiss to his neck as she felt his arm go around her back. She sighed softly. "You two looked like you were having fun."

"The best," Rafael assured her as he hugged her even closer to him. His eyes then moved back toward the slide to watch as Noah slid down once more. He chuckled softly when Noah landed flat on his butt at the bottom. "He's going to take half the playground home with him on his clothes."

She laughed softly. "That's what kids are supposed to do. Making messes then giving those cute little puppy faces so that we forget all about the mess." Her head rested against his shoulder as she watched Noah head toward the ladder of the slide once more.

"He just can't seem to get enough, can he?" He waved to Noah as the young boy stopped for a moment to find them before he resumed his trek up the steps. He kissed her forehead before he smiled. "Neither can I."

He loved that he now got to spend his Saturdays with the two of them. It was so much better than paperwork.
