You and Pau had been invited to a barbeque at Raphinha and Taia's house with the rest of the players and their partners.

The music was playing, the kids were exhausted from playing in the pool and running around and you loved being together like that.

You had been passed Gael, who had wet hair from his bath, he was tired.

It was only supposed to be for a quick second whilst Taia put her drink down but Gael had other ideas and cuddled into you like you were his favourite teddy.

You let him as you were both content. You had sat down with his blanket wrapped around him as he fell asleep.

Pau couldn't keep his eyes off of you with the kid.

He was feeling something, his heart beating faster and an immense rush of more love filled him as he tilted his head to watch you both.

Baby fever

"You'd look so beautiful as a mother." He says only for your ears as he sat beside you.
