For the Barson Bingo February 2022 Prompt: Olivia's Birthday
Olivia Benson-Barba woke up with the snuggles and kisses on her face from her husband Rafael. Today was her birthday after all.
"Happy birthday cariño. Here's to another year around the sun." He said.
"Thank you Rafa. You are so incredibly sweet. I love you." Olivia said as she kissed his lips.
"I love you too."
The two stayed in their warm embrace until they heard their toddler babbling through the baby monitor.
"Blythe's awake." Olivia said.
"We're lucky she's cute and she's got a big brother so we should go check on them." Rafael said as he gave Olivia another kiss and they got out of bed to check on their kids.
Noah was holding the card he and and Blythe made for their mother. The fourteen month old was happily standing up in her crib with her pacifier in her mouth as she smiled.
"Happy birthday Mama. Can you say it Bee like we practiced?" Noah said as he turned to help adjust Blythe's glasses.
"Ha- pee birf day Mama!" Blythe said as she took her pacifier out of her mouth.
"Thank you you two. I have the best kids in the world." Olivia said as she picked up Blythe from her crib and kissed her children's heads.
"How about I take care of your mini me while you get ready for the day? then we can have Saturday brunch. Rafael said as Blythe reached out to him and he held her.
"I think she's your mini me Rafa but sure." Olivia said as she left Blythe's nursery.
"Papí, can we make Momma's favorite breakfast?" Noah asked.
"Sure we can. Let's get ready for the day first." Rafael said as he gave his son a smile.
After Rafael and the kids got ready for the day, he and Noah started making Olivia's favorite breakfast: French toast, eggs, bacon and fresh fruit.
"We're almost done cooking so could you set the table mijo?" Rafael said.
"Okay Papí." Noah said as he set the table and put Blythe in her high chair.
A few minutes later, Olivia walked down the stairs of their townhouse wearing a teal and white striped sweatshirt and jeans.
"Noah insisted we make your favorite breakfast for your birthday." Rafael said as he turned off the oven to see Olivia standing near him.
"You three are incredibly sweet. Thank you for making my birthday special already." Olivia said as she kissed Rafael's cheek as she and Rafael set brunch on the kitchen table.
"Well Momma, it's your birthday so what are you going to do to celebrate?" Noah asked as ate a bite of the French toast.
"Well your Papí is taking me to lunch later so we can spend some time together and I'm not sure what else I'm going to do today." Olivia said.
Rafael's plan includes that they two of them would have a wonderful lunch date and take a few stops along the way as the squad prepared for Olivia's surprise party back the Benson-Barba home. All Noah knew was that his aunt, uncle and cousins were coming over because his mother's party was a surprise.
"I like your sweater Liv." Rafael said with a flirtatious smile.
"Thanks, I believe my loving husband got it for me." She responded as she finished cutting up Blythe's food so she could eat it.
