"You can't marry him!"
Raf and Liv looked over at where the voices were coming from, upon seeing Sophia's parents Raf said,
"Why not?"
"Because we don't want her to be with the likes of him. He was in a well known gang and we don't approve of your family. That one is marrying a guy, and you're not your daughter's real father." Her father said aggressively.
"So what dad, we love each other, we have a child together." Sophia said.
"I would love for you two to leave now and never come into Sophia's or my granddaughter's life again." Raf said.
"You need to butt out, you're not her father." Her father replied.
"I'm more of a father than you. I rode with her to the hospital and sat in the hospital as my granddaughter was born, where were you?"
"And don't say we didn't tell you, we did." Zach said.
Her parents didn't say anything.
"I think it's time for you to leave." Raf whispered.
Sophia's parents saw the look in Raf's eyes and left. Raf stood there, until he felt arms around his shoulders.
"Thank you, Raf." Sophia said.
"Anything for you, mija."
After their hug ended Raf clapped his hands,
"Okay, let's get back to what matters, your vows."
Zach and Sophia went back to their places and the guests quietened down. They said their vows and everyone cheered loudly and headed for the reception for a celebration to remember.
The next morning
Raf woke up with two bodies on him, he smiled at the way Lucia looked like him and Zach. Jr. stood out, somebody could easily see that he wasn't a biological child like Noah and Brook. Zach looked like him, Brook looking like her mother. He watched as jr opened his eyes and smiled at him.
"Do you want to stay with Abuela or come with me to fix breakfast?"
"You."
Raf took both kids down, putting Lucia in her play and pack. She quickly fell asleep, while the two Rafa's fixed breakfast. After finishing they took the plate up to Liv.
Three months later
Noah had called them, Tyler was at the hospital, with a little three year old girl. He wouldn't leave her, they were supposed to come over for dinner, Zach and Sophia were already there.
"I'm worried about him." Noah admitted.
"What do you mean?"
"You know how mom kept checking in with family court when I was in foster care?"
"Yeah?" Liv said, looking at Raf.
"He's been annoying times a hundred, possibly more, he's also calling the family. Then he's really frustrated when she gets placed in yet another home. I don't know what to say or do."
"Has he said he wanted a bigger family?"
"Yes, but it won't be that simple, she's been abused by two men, her older teenage brother and one of his friends. They are in prison, I arranged and sent them to jail." Noah said.
"How long?"
"life without the possibility of parole."
"At least they won't ever get around her again." Liv said.
"Yeah, I'm just worried about him, something happened to Tyler when he was younger." Noah said.
"Like what?" Raf asked.
"He swore me not to tell anyone, not even you two."
"What happened, sweet boy?" Liv asked.
"So you both know his family life was rough, him being gay, he came out when he was 13 almost 14 and well….. his father took advantage of him."
Raf and Liv looked at each other.
"He rape and molested Tyler from 13 to 16, that is when they kicked him out of their home, he stayed with his then boyfriend's family until they graduated high school." Noah sighed.
"I could see if I could use my reputation to help you two get temporary custody, until you both can adopt her."
"Thanks Papi, I'm going to go down to the hospital and see if I can get him to come over there and see if talking to you and mom will help."
"We'll talk to him." Liv said.
"Okay, hopefully I'll be there in a half hour."
"Be careful." Liv said.
"Always."
Noah hung up, Raf wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
