A/N: I'm trying to make this as a rom-com, hope you like my new series! I have a lot of ideas to write about Joel Miller fanfiction and I haven't finished writing them all. I only have a few days before I start working but I want to write as much as I can. I'm pretty nervous since it's my first full-time job. Wish me luck!

"Please just let me go! I can't do this anymore!" You heard a woman's yell from outside your house while washing the dishes.
"Baby, please.. Just do this for Sarah. Please." A man begged.
*baby cried*
"I'm sorry, Joel."
Curiosity ate you. You peeked through your window and saw your neighbor were having a fight. Assuming they were husband and wife with a newborn baby. The man was carrying the baby while the woman was trying to get inside the car.
"Get in that car and there's no coming back!" The man raised his voice.
You felt guilty for eavesdropping because that should be a private conversation but they fought in front of their house and you're pretty sure everyone in the neighborhood heard them.
The next morning when you were preparing breakfast, you heard a knock.
"Can I help you?" It was the man from last night.
"Ugh yes, I'm sorry to bother you early in the mornin'. I was wonderin' if you could help me with somethin'." He put his hand behind his neck.
"Yeah, sure? What can I help you with?" You opened your door wider and invited him in.
"I live next door...I just had a baby and somethin' happened with her mom..and I have to go to work so no one is watchin' my daughter. Uh..You look young, I'm assuming you're still in college, maybe you could help me babysit my daughter? I'll pay you of course."
"Oh! Uhm..Well..I'm not in college actually. I've graduated." You chuckled.
"But I'll take that as a compliment, sir."
"Sorry." Joel chuckled.
"Uhm..how old is your daughter?"
"She's just 3 months old."
"Oh!" Your eyes widened. You had never had a baby but you had always wanted one. But how could you possibly be able to babysit a newborn without experience?
"Sure, I'd like to help." You were blinded by the man's puppy eyes.
"Really can you do that? How about your work? Because I don't want to burden you."
"That's not a problem, sir. I'm taking over my parents' cafe nearby so I can take your daughter with me. If that's okay."
"You're the best. Thank you. I'm Joel by the way. Joel Miller" He extended his hand to shake yours.
"I'm (y/n) (y/l/n)." You shook his hand.
Joel invited you to his house and introduced his daughter to you.
