Liv's about 4 months
"Take Noah to the park Raf." Liv said laying on the couch.
"You sure you don't want to go?" Raf asked.
"I'm sure, when you boys get back we are narrowing down the twins' names."
Raf groaned.
"Liv, we have 5 months till you are due."
"And we have narrowed it down to 4 sets of names."
"Carolina, Isabella. Isabel, Emma. Kaylee, Serena. Catalina Rose, Emilia Kate." Raf smirked.
"Right, we have 4 sets of names and we just need 1 set." Liv smirked back.
"Okay, we will pick 2 sets when we get home, then we can pick our final set in the last month."
"Okay, Rafa."
Noah! Are you ready buddy?!"
"Yes, Papi!" Noah came running grinning from ear to ear.
"You sure you want me to leave Skylar here?" Raf looked over to Liv.
"Yeah, we will have a girls day, you boys have your day."
Raf and Noah headed to the park. Raf watched Noah looking at people as they walked down to the park noticing he was looking at people with more than one kid.
"Mijo, you okay?" Raf asked.
Noah looked at him smiling.
"Yeah Papi, why wouldn't you?"
"Cause you're going to be a big brother again and Skylar is going to be a big sister."
"I know, I can't wait!"
Raf smiled at his only son.
"What names have you picked out?" Noah asked.
"Carolina, Isabella. Isabel, Emma. Kaylee, Serena. Catalina Rose, Emilia Kate."
"I like those names!"
They made it to the park, Noah found some of his friends from school and played. They headed home about an hour before dinner. When they got home Noah laid with Liv and Skylar on the couch talking about the park while Raf fixed dinner. After they ate, Raf did both Noah and Sky's bathtime and Liv did their bedtime. After they try to decide,
"So, we are down to Catalina Rose, Emilia Kate. Or Carolina/Isabella." Liv said.
"Yes, we are." Raf kissed her, both falling asleep.

"Raf! Raf!"
"What? What?" Raf woke up to Liv shaking him.
Turning toward her.
"What's wrong Liv?"
"I think I figured out the twins names!"
Raf groaned.
"What did you choose?" Raf turned toward her.
"Carolina Ann Barba and Catalina Rose Barba."
Raf looked at her and smiled.
"Love them Cariño. Can we go back to sleep now?" Raf pulled her closer.
Liv nodded and snuggled up beside him, with his hand on her stomach.
The next Day
Liv woke to the sounds of Raf kissing her, laying on her back she opened her eyes to see him above her kissing her body all over.
"Morning Liv."
"Morning Rafa."
"Morning Mijas." Raf kissed her stomach.
They both kicked and Raf smiled up at Liv.
"They're hungry." Liv said.
Raf got up and fixed her breakfast. He brought it to her.
"What are you doing today?"
"Taking Skylar to Mami's and Noah to the park." Raf said as Noah and Skylar came into their bedroom.
"Papi, we are ready!" Noah said excitedly.
Raf picked up Skylar.
"Tell Mami bye and we will go."
"Bye, Mami!" Noah gave her a hug.
"Bye, Mami!" Sky said from Raf's arms.
"Bye sweet boy, bye baby girl." Liv kissed them both.
"Bye, mi amor. Call me if you need something."
"I will, Rafa. Love you."
"Love you too."
Raf dropped Skylar off with Lucia. Lucia wanted to spend time with her granddaughter. Noah and Raf taking a walk in the park. Raf picked Noah up and put him on his shoulders.
"So, Noah, what do you want to do?"
"This, Papi."
"You don't want to go see if your friends are at the park?"
"Is Jesse there?"
"I don't think so, buddy. Aunt Amanda and Uncle Sonny went out of town."
"Then just this."
Raf looked up at Noah, noticing he didn't look as excited as he did earlier.
"What's wrong buddy?"
"Nothing, Papi. I just don't get along with them. They…" Noah stopped and looked off, his hands on Raf's neck.
"Pick on you, buddy?" Raf finished knowing.
Noah shrugged.
"I talk to them, they just ignore me."
Raf lifted him off his shoulders, carrying him on his hip.
"Jesse is the only one that plays or talks to you, buddy?"
"And my only friend, Papi."
Raf sat him down, bending down to be at eye level with Noah.
"Mijo looked at me."
Noah looked at him.
"I'm your friend Noah."
"No, your Papi."
"I wasn't when Mami brought you to my office that day, and that Friday I took you two out, we became good friends, then I became your Papi."
Noah nodded.
"Love you, mijo."
"Love you, Papi."
The evening passed as Noah and Raf walked around the park. Finally picking up Skylar and going home. After the kids were in bed, Raf told Liv what Noah had told him.
"I'm worried Rafa."
"I am too. Noah is a sweet boy, why wouldn't they want to be friends with him?"
They fell asleep wondering that, holding each other close.
The last 2 months of Liv's pregnancy had been pretty easy, the twins were strong and healthy. Liv's doctor had managed to get Liv to get bed rest with Raf's and Noah's help. One night, Raf and Liv had a quiet night in, Raf had fixed an early dinner, and they watched a movie while they snuggled, Amanda and Sonny had volunteered to take Noah and Skylar for the night. They laid on the bed with Raf's back leaned against the headboard, his arms wrapped around Liv, hands rubbing up and down her belly. They fell asleep after the movie with Raf's head on Liv's shoulder and Liv's head on his and their hands on top of one another's on her belly. Sometime during the night, Raf felt Liv moving around waking up looking at her, she had legs over the side of the bed, hands beside her. He moved to be next to her, stopping to feel the bed was wet, he rubbed her back.
"Liv did your..."
"I think it did." Liv finished for him
Raf got up, put on clothes, and helped Liv downstairs and with getting into the car then headed to the hospital. Once Liv was settled into her room, Raf called everyone. Sonny and Amanda would keep Noah and Skylar till after the twins were born. 16 hours later they wheeled Liv into the delivery room with Raf by her side. Liv had Catalina first, looking just like Raf with her green eyes and black and Carolina who had brown eyes and brown hair like her mother. After they were cleaned up and wrapped in blankets, Catalina a pink one Carolina a yellow one. They held them,
"What do you think Noah and Skylar will think of them?" Liv asked.
"Noah will get annoyed with having 3 younger sisters, and Sky will want to play with them." Raf said, chuckling.
A few hours later Raf and Liv were back in Liv's room, Liv asleep and resting. Raf sat texting the squad and his mother updates on the twins and Liv. The door opened, Raf looked up seeing the nurse bringing in the twins in their cribs. Raf went over and watched as the nurse made sure everyone was okay and left the new father alone. Raf watched both girls sleep smiling and taking pictures, sending them to the squad and his mother. Raf fell back asleep, he slept for a while, waking up and looking at Liv, who looked like she just woke up.
"How are you feeling, mi amor?" Raf asked.
"Good, just tired."
"Go back to sleep, Liv." Raf gave her a small smile.
Liv frowned and reached her hand out, Raf smiled getting up and went to her side gently sitting on the edge till Liv convinced him to lay with her. He laid with her, both falling asleep. They woke around 3 in the morning to the sound of Carolina and Catalina crying. Raf got up and got Carolina and then Catalina handing one to Liv so she could feed them. After both had eaten Raf held Catalina as he sat in the chair, Liv held Carolina as she looked over at Raf and smiled at him, eyes wide with wonder looking at his daughter.
"Rafa."
Raf looked over.
"I love you. I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else."
Raf had tears in his eyes.
"Me either mi Amor. Love you too Liv.
The next Morning
Raf woke up looking around, Liv was still asleep he got up and walked over watching Carolina and Catalina sleeping smiling he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. He pulled it out and read it, texting his mother and Rollins back. Lucia was on her way to visit her new granddaughters and Rollins was just checking in saying Noah and Skylar were ready to meet their new sisters. The twins were sound asleep, walking back over to his chair Raf sat down and smiled at Liv and how peaceful she looked. She started to stir, she opened her eyes looking at him.
"Hi." Raf whispered.
"Hey." Liv looked at him and grinned.
"How do you feel?" leaning up to take her hand, squeezing it.
"Tired, but I feel great."
She grinned and looked over at the twins sleeping.
"Mami is on her way and Rollins texted saying Noah and Skylar wanted to meet their new sisters."
Liv smiled, Raf had a 3-day old scruff, his hair had no product in it, he hadn't been home to shower or change clothes. Still in jeans and a gray v neck t-shirt he was looking as handsome as ever. Raf smirked, got up and sat on the side of her bed and laid beside her. Liv moved closer and snuggled against him. They laid there, Raf drifting in and out of sleep, answering congratulations messages from colleagues. There was a knock, looking up he smiled at Lucia, putting a finger up to his mouth looking at Liv then pointing to the twins' cribs. Lucia went over and looked at them.
"Mijo, They're beautiful."
"Just like their mother." Raf whispered, looking at Liv then back to Lucia.
A few hours later Amanda and Sonny came by bringing Noah and Skylar. Noah loved the twins, Raf helped him hold Carolina while Sonny held Catalina. Liv held Skylar, Liv and Amanda sat there watching their men holding the twins. Amanda and Sonny took Noah and Skylar home, Liv and Raf both promising they'd be home soon. That night Raf and Liv cuddled and fell asleep in the hospital bed.
