Not Everything Done In The Dark Is Shameful Barson Story

Not Everything Done In The Dark Is Shameful Chapter 18

Author's note: This is not the last chapter, but I already decided to write a sequel. I will be posting other Barson stories soon!

Rafael Barba was on his cell phone with his mother who had left Olivia's apartment an hour before Olivia stood by Noah's door which was partially closed. "She's busy now Mami, I'll tell her. She appreciates the leftovers. They'll help this week. Good night." He hung up his phone, and listened for Olivia.

"Noah do you need help? Noah, please answer me. Noah?"

"No, I don't need help!" Noah said in his cranky voice.

"You need to go to bed soon. Are you sure?" Noah didn't answer. "Noah?"

"I don't want to!"

"I know, but you have to. Noah you're tired, let me help you get ready for bed."

"No!"

"Noah, bed in 15 minutes."

"Are you going to work tomorrow?"

"Yes, I have to."

"I wish you weren't my mommy!" Oh not this again Olivia thought to herself. He had said that once before, and it broke her heart. It was breaking her heart now. She couldn't show him that. She was silent. "I want Barba!"

"Hey what's going on here" Olivia heard Barba say, as he placed a hand gently on her shoulder. Olivia quickly turned to face him, there was sadness in her brown eyes, but she looked directly into his green ones. "He wants Barba, she whispered, hoping her son didn't hear the words she spoke.

"Liv, please let me talk to him, Barba whispered back, the look in her eyes was breaking his heart. "when I said I would read to him, talking to him was part of my plan."

Olivia looked away from Barba and at her son's door." Bed very soon Noah". She said loudly. She turned back to Barba, and slowly nodded, hoping he didn't see how sad and exposed she felt, She throw her hands up, and brushed past him, so he could walk into Noah's room. She wished for a moment that' she could run into a dark hole and cry for awhile. She was tired, and she needed to get away from those green eyes that studied her so closely.

"Hey Mi amigo" Barba said entering the boys room. Noah was sitting on the floor, his new robot in his hands. He wore blue pajamas, he was giving Liv a hard time, but at least secretly he was doing as she asked. "I heard you wanted to see me."

"Yes."

"That's good, because you and I need to have a talk."

"I don't want her to go to work." Barba found the rocking chair across from Noah, and sat in it. Liv must of sat here thousands of times rocking and caring for baby Noah when she first got him. Barba thought with admiration.

"Noah, I know that, and I understand, I didn't like it when my Mami had to work."

"Your mommy worked too?"

"Yes, she still does."

"I want her to stay home!"

"I understand that", Barba repeated nodding. It's hard not getting what you want, but that doesn't mean you should yell at your mommy."

"But I want her to stay home!"

"Oh I see, and you think if you yell enough, you will get whatever you want.?" Barba held in a smile, he wanted to laugh. Noah watched him intently and nodded, but even he didn't look convinced.

"Noah I know your mommy a long time, and I can tell you, you never get what you want from her by yelling. Your mommy loves you so much, you should never yell at her. You made her very sad. and you don't want to do that ever."
