Hope?

Sunday Funday

I moaned from the tapping sun-light against my face, wondered. How long I'd been sleeping. I blinked, shut my eyes, blinked again. I yawned, managed to fully open both eyes. Looking down I saw Olivia sleeping peacefully. I moved my arm gently from underneath her. I swung my feet to the side if the bed. Looking at the clock that red nine. I walked to the bathroom to empty my bladder. I looked into the mirror when I was finished. My reflection was different my hair was longer and my eyes had black underneath them. I had a lot of stress this week. I had a case but Olivia didn't know how hard it was. A fifteen year old girl was house sitting and was raped for hours straight and then was almost killed but now paralyzed forever. I remember looking into that girl eyes and seeing she was hurt. I could tell asking her questions at court would be hard.

"Rafael you okay?" Olivia asked setting a hand on my shoulder. I raised my head up in the mirror I didn't notice a few tears had fallen. I pushed a hand up stroking my cheek. It became red do to the connection.

"Yes. Just thinking about something." I quickly spatted out looking over at her giving a little smile.

"Wanna talk?" She asked. Rasing a eyebrow.

Shaking my head back and forth "No. I am fine" I said. Leaving the bathroom. Making my way into the kitchen I started making coffee.

"Dada? Mama" I heard Noah yell. Pushing the door open to his room it the shades were down but the curtain didn't cover them, causing a little sunlight in. Noah had got smile from ear to ear.

"Come here, Noah. How fid you sleep?" I whispered pulling him in a hug. His legs wrapped around me and his arms on my shoulders. I laid him on the changing table putting on the new diaper. Putting him on my hip walking towards the kitchen.

"Good morning. How did you sleep?" Olivia asked as they reached for each other.

"Want some eggs or cereal?" I asked holding a egg and cereal box up. Noah pointed towards the egg.

"Eggs it it. Liv you want some?" Looking at her and smiling.

"What should we do today?" She asked. She took Noah to the living and gave him his blue elephant and some cartoons came on the tv. Noahs laughter filled the air when Tom and Jerry came on.

"I don't care. Wanna do something inside or outside?" I asked. Cracking a egg.

"What about Central Park? Or we can go to the Statue of Liberty?" Olivia asked flipping through a magazine we had gotten at the store the other day.

"Yeah that sounds good. We all have to eat and shower then head over to the places. What first? " I asked adding the eggs to the hot pan and moving them with a spatula.

"What about Statue of Liberty then lunch and how about park after?" Olivia told me.

"Sounds like a plan. Noah come here the food is done." Slightly yelling. Trying not to be really loud.

"No. Dada I pay" he yelled. I looked over at Olivia. Her head shot up looking at me. We were both shocked.

"What? Did you hear that?" I asked walking to the living room.

"Noah time to eat. Come on we have a big day today and you won't go." I said. Noah came in upset his lip was sticking out. Olivia picked him up and put him in his seat. I handed her the plate to give to Noah. We all ate sitting down. Noah kept asking what we were going to do. I finished getting up cleaning the kitchen. Olivia took Noah to get dressed. Noah was soon running out of his room coming in the living room and jumping on the couch to watch cartoons. Walking to the bedroom Olivia was changing. I came and wrapped my arms around her waist. I kissed her neck. Aiming for a certain area. "Rafael" she moaned tilting her head giving me more access. She turned and put her lips on mine. She wrapped her hands around my neck. I moved my hands on her hips resting them. Pulling slowing "I love you" I whispered to her.
