A/N: Here is a short third part of 'Be Honest'. I don't own any of the characters.
Noah and Hank
When Hank arrived at the apartment, he went up and knocked on the door.
"Hi. You must be Hank. I'm Lucy, the nanny."
"Yes, I'm Hank. It's nice to meet you."
"You too."
"Hey, Noah."
"Hi, Hank. What's for dinner?"
"Spaghetti and meatballs."
"Yum!"
"Noah, since Hank is here, I'm going to head home, ok?"
"Ok. Bye, Lucy."
"Bye. I'll see you after school tomorrow."
"Ok."
"It was nice meeting you, Hank."
"You too."
Lucy left and went home.
"Will you play with me?"
"Sure."
Noah went to get his cars out of his room, so he and Hank could play with them. Hank kept checking to see if Olivia had texted him but she hadn't.
"Hank."
"What?"
"Where's Chicago?"
"Let me show you."
Hank pulled up Google Maps on his phone.
"This is Chicago right here and this is New York where you and your mom live."
"Is that far?"
"It's about 800 miles. The fastest way to get between here and there is by flying in an airplane."
"I was in an airplane."
"Oh, yeah. Where'd you go?"
"Paris with Ed."
"Good. Did you like it?'
"Yeah. I want to go to Chicago. Do you like baseball?"
"I love baseball."
"I watched it with Ed."
"Did you watch the World Series?"
"Yeah."
"My favorite team won that."
"Wow!"
"Maybe sometime I can take you to a game."
"I'd like that. Mommy too?"
"If she wants to go."
"I like you."
"I like you too."
Olivia texted Hank to tell him she would be leaving soon, so he went into the kitchen to start dinner. Noah dragged a chair over to where Hank was.
"Can I help?"
"Sure."
Hank had Noah set the table, while he fixed the meatballs, put the noodles into the boiling water and put the garlic bread in the oven. When Noah was done, he climbed back up onto the chair and watched Hank. Olivia came in and saw them both.
"Mommy!"
"Hey, Baby! Are you helping Hank?"
"Uh huh!"
Olivia kissed Noah and then she kissed Hank.
"It smells delicious."
"Glad to hear it."
"Did Lucy go home?"
"She did. She said she'd see him after school tomorrow."
"Ok, good. I see you two were playing cars."
"Yep."
"Was he talking to you at all?"
"Yeah."
"Baby, go watch TV, ok?"
"Ok."
Olivia helped Noah off the chair and he ran into the living room to watch TV.
"What did he say?"
"He asked me where Chicago was and if I liked baseball. When I told him that the fastest way to get to Chicago was by plane, he said he was on a plane to Paris. He said he watched baseball with Ed. I was starting to think he was comparing me to Ed. I told him that I'd take him to a baseball game in Chicago sometime and he asked if I'd take you too. I said if you wanted to go I would."
"Then he obviously wants to go to Chicago."
"He said he likes me."
"That's encouraging."
"He's a good kid. You've done a good job with him."
"Thanks. That means a lot."
"You're welcome. Pour yourself a glass of wine, go sit down and relax, while I finish dinner. It should be done soon enough."
"Ok."
Olivia kissed Hank and then she poured herself a glass of wine before joining Noah in the living room. Hank finished fixing dinner and then the 3 of them ate. After they were done, Olivia got up to start clearing the table.
"I'll do that."
"Mommy, can Hank give me my bath, read me my story and tuck me in?"
"It's up to him."
Noah looked at Hank.
"Please."
"Ok. I can do that."
"I'll clean up the kitchen."
"No, you're not. You worked all day."
"I'm not used to being spoiled like this."
"Tucker never cooked dinner for you?"
"You're joking, right? His idea of a romantic evening was Chinese takeout and a movie. The times we'd go out to eat, it was just us."
"I feel like spoiling you."
"I'm glad."
Hank loaded the dishwasher and started it. Then he took Noah into the bathroom, so he could give him a bath. Olivia got up and went to get Noah's pajamas.
"Here are his pajamas."
"Ok."
"Before you go in your room for your story, you need to clean up your cars that are all over the living room, young man."
"Ok, Mommy."
Hank finished giving Noah his bath and got him ready for bed. Noah brushed his teeth and then went into the living room to pick up his cars. He kissed Olivia and went into his bedroom to have Hank read him his story. After his story, Hank tucked him in.
"Night, Hank."
"Goodnight, Noah."
"I love you."
"I love you too."
Noah gave Hank a hug and then Hank kissed him on top of the head. He turned out the light and shut the door a little bit before joining Olivia in the living room.
"He asleep?"
"Just about. He told me he loved me."
"Aw! How sweet is he? You know something?"
"What?"
"His mom loves you too."
"I love you too."
"Good."
They started kissing and then Olivia shut the TV off. She and Hank headed down the hall and Olivia peeked in on Noah. He was asleep, so they headed to the bedroom, where they made love before they fell asleep in each other's arms. They spent as much time together as they could before Hank headed back to Chicago.
As always, reviews are appreciated.
