After everything that happened with Holly, Ciara decided to reach out to Rafe and see if Ben could spend more time with David.
Rafe said he would talk to Jordan and then let her know. It had been two weeks, and Ciara still hadn't heard from Rafe.
Ben and Ciara were sound asleep when one of their phones went off.
" Ciara, I think your phone is going off."
Ciara reached over and grabbed her phone.
" Hello."
" Hey Ciara, it's Rafe; did I wake you?"
" No, it's fine. What's up?"
" I just got a huge case. And I don't have anyone to watch David. Would you be able to watch him for me?"
" Ben and I would love to."
" Not Ben, just you. I talked to Jordan; she does not want Ben around her son."
" I'll have to talk to Ben and call you back."
" I'm really sorry, Ciara. I don't want to mess this up and lose my chance of getting custody of David."
" I understand, Rafe. I'll call you back."
Ciara hung up the phone and looked at Ben.
" Everything okay?"
" Rafe asked me to watch David."
" Call him back and tell him we'll do it."
Ciara looked away from Ben.
" What?"
" He only wants me to watch him."
" Oh."
" It's Jordan; she doesn't want you around David, and Rafe doesn't want to mess anything up and risk losing custody of David. I'm so sorry, Ben."
" Hey, it's fine. It's not your fault."
" I'll just call him back and tell him I can't do it."
" No. I think you should do it."
" Are you sure? I know how much you want to see David, and I don't want to upset you."
Ben grabbed her chin so she would look at him, " You could never upset me."
" I am going to jump in the shower. Call Rafe back."
Ben kissed Ciara and walked into the bathroom.
Ciara grabbed her phone and called Rafe back; she agreed to watch David only if Ben could join them.
Rafe gave in because he didn't have a choice.
When Ben got out of the shower, Ciara was making the bed.
" Get dressed. We have to be at Rafe's in fifteen minutes."
" What do you mean we?"
" I told Rafe I would only watch David if you could come to."
" You didn't have to do that."
" I wanted to."
Ben smiled and kissed her, " You are very sweet."
" Let's go see your nephew."
They got ready and headed to Rafe's.
" Hey guys, come on in."
Rafe gave them a rundown of David's schedule and what toys he liked to play with. He told them he would check in during the day, said goodbye, and left.
