A/N: This was written for the 'bone-chilling', 'frighten', 'thankful', and 'goodnight' prompts at thebarsondaily.

Olivia held tightly to Noah's hand as he lay sound asleep in his hospital bed. He was here merely for observation as he had no apparent signs of distress. But she remembered the bone-chilling feeling that had washed over at her as she heard Sheila say that he'd gone missing. Her eyes filled with tears. They fell down her cheeks as the frightened feeling finally started to dissipate. She let her head rest against her son's small hand, silently sobbing at the relief that had overcome her.

It was then that she felt a hand on her shoulder. She'd know his touch anywhere. Her free hand slipped over his giving it a gentle squeeze. She was more than thankful for his presence. Her lips quivered as she lifted her head to look at him. She turned, switching the hand that clutched Noah's as she wrapped her arm around Rafael's waist and buried her face against his stomach. "Stay..." she whispered.

He gently stroked her hair, letting the strands slip through his fingers. He bent slowly, kissing the top of her head. "I just wanted to come say goodnight to Noah, but I can stay." He slowly eased her so that she was standing up and then took her place in the chair before he guided her onto his lap. Admittedly, they were a sight to see, but he didn't care at the moment. All that mattered to him is that Noah was safe and that Olivia rested.
