It had been 3 days since Noah asked Raf if he was going to marry Liv. Raf couldn't stop thinking about it, Noah was the reason he and Liv were together. Why wouldn't it make sense for Noah to give him the suggestion? It didn't, Noah was smart but after all, he was just a 4 year soon to be 5- year-old.
"Fuck, am I really going to do this?" Raf thought.
Then his phone went off, picking it up seeing it was Liv, she had just gotten home and Noah had drawn a picture of all 3 of them. Raf smiled knowing he knew the answer, yes, he had to, he wasn't going to lose both of them. He texted her back.
Be home before Noah's bedtime. Love you. -Raf
Okay, Rafa. Love you too – Liv
Rafael smiled and got on his computer looking for rings. He searched for a while, finally giving up for the night. He turned everything off and headed home. He walked into the apartment seeing Noah immediately but no Liv.
"Hey mijo." Raf said, walking over to him, kissing his head.
"Hey, Papi." Noah looked around and whispered,
"Did you find Mami a ring?"
Raf frowned.
"Not yet buddy, don't mention it to Mami, okay?"
"Okay."
Raf looked up into the kitchen and saw her, he walked in sliding his arms around her, kissing her.
"Hey, mi Amor."
"Hi, Rafa."
She returned his kiss, he helped her finish the dishes from dinner. He played with Noah, till it was his bedtime. After Noah was down for the night, Liv and Raf laid in bed holding each other. Raf watched her sleep, till he fell asleep.
The Next Day
Raf was looking at rings when Liv came in with Noah in tow.
"Case?" Raf asked, switching the page and walking over to them.
Lucy was gone for the week. Liv had been going to stay home with Noah since there was no ongoing case, but it looked like there was one now.
"Yeah, I shouldn't be gone long." Liv said.
"So mijo, you staying with Papi?" Raf asked Noah as he walked over to Raf's desk wanting up.
"Si, Papi."
Liv left and Raf went back to looking at rings.
"Noah, how about this one?" Raf asked, looking at a 4-carat ring in 12k Gold.
"I like it!" Noah said.
"I do too, mijo, should we get it for Mami?"
"Si!" Noah said.
Raf got up, got his things together, and with Noah in hand, Raf went to the jewelry store. They looked around then Raf saw it, he looked at it and knew it was the one. They bought it, on the way home,
"How are you gonna ask her?" Noah asked.
Raf thought about it.
"How about when, while she's cooking dinner, and we are in the living room, you yell at her for something asking her to come here, and when she wants into the living room, I'm on my knee with a ring. How's that sound?"
"That sounds great!" Noah giggled.
They got home and waited for Liv. Then their plans messed up, Liv called saying she was going to be late. Noah frowned when Raf told him she was going to be late.
"What are you going to do now Papi?"
"We are going to lay on this couch and sleep some so Mami wouldn't be too mad when she gets home about you being awake and not in bed. When she comes home I'll wake you up while she closes the door and I'll get down on one knee and when she turns she'll see me on one knee and you stand beside me with your hand on my shoulder."
Noah agreed.
They waited for Liv to get home, luckily Liv texted Raf when she was in the elevator. Raf got himself positioned and Noah also, both wearing green shirts and black shorts. Liv walked in the door not looking up just talking,
"Hey, I'm home my sw.." Liv stopped speaking when she saw Raf down on the floor on one knee, Noah beside with his hand on his shoulder.
Liv couldn't speak, finally finding words.
"Rafa…"
"Liv, will you marry me?"
"Yes!" She screamed running to him wrapping her arms around him. She squeezed him tight, she let him go. She looked at the ring, at how beautiful it was.
Raf took the ring out of the box and placed it on her ring finger. She looked at Noah, who was crying happy tears.
"Noah it's okay, baby." She said, picking him up and hugging her tight.
"I'm happy."
"Me too." Liv laughed and looked at Raf.
Raf had tears in his eyes too, as he wrapped both up in his arms.
"Love you Liv, love you, Noah."
"Love you Rafa and my sweet baby boy."
