♘: Cuddling in a blanket fort (idk why but I'm imagining they are babysitting for Olivia for whatever reason, and they put Noah to bed...)

After three hours of moving three pillows, three shifting nudges of furniture in Liv’s apartment, six blankets, eight stuffed animals, five diaper changes, a bath, and two bottles warmed to near perfection later Rafael and Jayden were finally cuddled up together. Noah was sleeping peacefully in his crib. And she could only imagine how tired Rafael must have been and yet still willing to be there with her.
The broom was pinched between the back of the couch and the wall so it could hold the sheet of the blanket fort. Rafael had his back to the cushionless couch, with a pillow behind his head so that he could still see the t.v.. One arm looped around Jay’s back, legs stretched out but parted to offer room for her to sit. His other arm propped up on the coffee table by his forearm with a glass of scotch in his hand. He’d stripped off the long sleeved sweater he had worn, leaving him in a fitting simple black shirt which he was certain to find traces of shimmery eyeshadow on.
Jay, on her part, was nestled into the open space his legs left, though she was cautious to give him some room and a little padding to keep from hurting him. Her head tucked into his neck as she leaned into him. Her legs tented over one of his. Her hands tucked close, the arm closest to Rafael was folded in under her bust, and the other was curled into a light fist over his heart.
Both of them were in a resting state of relaxation. Jayden had offered to babysit for Liv so that she and Brian could have a night out as a couple. Something Jayden promoted as it was healthy to make time for a romantic partner in any committed relationship. Which is why when Rafael agreed to come with her that night, she fell more in love with the man under the armour that he presented the squad as a Lawyer.
“I swear I didn’t know it was going to be this comically ridiculous.” Jayden muttered quietly into the warm space between them. “But I am thankful that you have stayed with me. I promise I’ll put this all back to rights. I just... I just want to sit here with you for a little while.”
She felt him smile against her forehead. Felt the 5 O’Clock shadow scrape along the skin of her forehead. Felt the soothing circles his thumb started pressing into her waist. Felt the small chuckle that started somewhere behind his sternum.
“It is better than a night arguing with Amaro.” That made her break out into a fit of giggles.
