He's Got Your Eyes

"Hi Naomi!" Joshua exclaims, running toward me with his little arms wide open to embrace me in one of the best bear hugs ever.

"Hey buddy. How are you?" I ask pulling away, smiling down at the little boy. He gives me a big thumbs up and takes his seat on the little baby bed in my office. "No mommy to keep you company? You know today's the day."

He shakes his head and gets down from the bed. "Oh! I'll be right back!" He runs out of the office leaving the door semi open behind him.

I chuckle at the cuteness that boy radiates every time he comes to visit. Ever since he and Emily came in and asked me to be his Pediatrician, I was more than willing to spend as much time with him, before the time comes. I look out the window, praying that that time would never come, at least not too soon.

Joshua comes running back in laughing and hides under the sheets of the bed. I hear a chuckle of a grown man follow, as footsteps near the door. My jaw drops to the floor as he walks in. It can't be. Is it destiny?

His black bed hair slicked back to the back of his head, his bushy yet perfect brows, his blue Caspian ​eyes that made every girl fall to their knees. His eyes were crinkled as he smiled down at the little boy. That boyish grin made me feel like I was the only girl in the world. His world.

"Mommy won't be coming in today, Naomi. This is my daddy!"

The man looks over at me, as stunned as I was. It almost seemed like we were staring at each other for eternity. He then broke the silence and walked over to me slowly with his hand outstretched.

"Hi, I'm Alvaro."

Oh my god. It is him.
