Rafael Barba x Reader from my Hostage Series (I may make this into a fic)

You walked out of the laundry room and into the living room, balancing a hamper of clean clothes on your hip. “What is this?” you exclaimed when you saw Mila and the twins watching a particularly gruesome Dateline episode on the television. 

You set the laundry down and turned off the tv only to receive a groan of protest from Mila. “But Mommy, it was just getting good!”

“Sorry, mi amor. No crime shows until you’re in high school at least. Now how about we go into the kitchen and get a snack.” The children cheered and ran into the kitchen when there was a knock on the door. 

You opened the door to see Sonny standing on your stoop with several jars of his mom’s homemade marinara. “Hiya! Ma wanted me to bring this over.”

“Uncle Sonny!” the children screamed and ran to him.

You closed the door and smiled, watching Sonny balance a twin in each arm while Mila climbed on his leg. “Thanks Sonny and thank your mom too. You hungry? We were just about to have a snack.”

“Starvin,” he said and followed you into the kitchen with the children. You reached into the fridge and grabbed sticks of string cheese and sliced fruit. Mila ripped open the plastic and was about  to bite straight into the cheese when Sonny stopped her. “Only animals and deranged psychopaths bite into their string cheese. Here let Uncle Sonny show ya’ how it’s done.”

Mila, Rory, and Ben observed Sonny as he demonstrated the proper way to eat string cheese, pulling off one piece at a time. 

While the kids were practicing on their cheese, Rafael came in. “Great! Snack time.” He grabbed a string cheese, tore open the packet, and bit right into the stick. The snack disappeared in 3 bites. 

The children stared at their father in shock and horror. Sonny sighed and shook his head disapprovingly while you bursted into a fit of giggles. Poor Rafael furrowed his brow in confusion. “What? Did I do something wrong?”

Thank you so much! ❤️Your comments and support for my writing and my little Barba family mean so much to me! Also Yes yes yes to ALL of this!

Rafael would be chasing Mila all over the place, trying to keep up with his daughter as she searches for eggs. Every time she finds one, Mila holds it up triumphantly, jumping up and down, showing you and Rafael her latest find to add to the ever growing collection in her basket.

“Good job baby!” You exclaim from the sidelines before looking down at Ben and Rory. Both babies are milk drunk, snuggled up to your chest. Ben has a tiny pink tie on just like his Papi while Rory and Mila are wearing matching Easter dresses. Glancing back up, you lock eyes with your husband and smile.

After the hunt, you host a big dinner for all of your friends and family. The centerpiece for your table are the eggs Mila dyed with you and Rafael earlier (most of the dye ended up on her hands, the little girl went to school for a week with purple and pink fingers). Mila stuffs her face full of candy while Rory and Ben are more interested in putting the plastic eggs in their mouths than the actual chocolate.

Once dinner is over and everyone leaves, you notice how unusually quiet it is in the house. Walking back into the living room, you come across a sight that melts your heart. Rafael wearing bunny ears, balancing Rory and Ben on each arm with Mila sitting on his lap. All four of them fast asleep. You quickly grab your phone and snap several pictures. Rafael wakes up, gifting you a sleepy smile. You kiss the top of his head, tugging the bunny ears off before the two of you carry your children upstairs to bed. With everyone tucked in, you and your husband stand in the hallway, holding each other close. He quietly hums a familiar song, the two of you swaying back and forth, sharing a peaceful perfect moment on that beautiful Easter Sunday.

[ad_1] Video footage of Israel Folau giving a sermon at church last month denouncing those who celebrate Christmas and Easter has emerged in the wake of his latest anti-gay comments.

On Thursday night Rugby Australia announced it intends to terminate Folau’s contract after the Wallabies star posted a message on Instagram declaring homosexuals will go to hell unless they repent for their “sins”.

NFL: Ben Barba Undecided On Saints Future #BenBarba #NFL #Rugby #StHelens

St Helens star Ben Barba says he is not yet decided about his anticipated return to the NFL.

Barba made this statement this Sunday as he prepares for his first Magic Weekend.

Barba has set the Super League alight this season and has been hugely influential as St Helens sit at the top of the table.

For his team, if he is not scoring, he is creating them for the likes of team mates Mark Percival…

One week into the 2017 Telstra Premiership season and people are already starting to write the Sharks off following their 26-18 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. Injured Sharks fullback Valentine Holmes took part in some light training on Monday morning, but it remains unclear whether the 21-year-old will be cleared to face the Raiders this weekend. Another one of Barba's former sides Cronulla have also "moved on" according to coach Shane Flanagan. Cronulla captain Paul Gallen has called on the NRL to implement two-year bans for players caught using illicit substances in the wake of the Tim Simona and Ben Barba controversy.

Barba, who left Australia while facing a 12-match NRL suspension for a second positive illicit drugs test, made two tackles in his short appearance. One week into the 2017 Telstra Premiership season and people are already starting to write the Sharks off following their 26-18 loss to the Broncos on Thursday night. BEN Barba's footballing career is at a crossroads once again with Toulon owner Mourad Boudjellal set to punt the ex-NRL star just four months into a $2.5 million, two and a half year deal. Cronulla captain Paul Gallen has called on the NRL to implement two-year bans for players caught using illicit substances in the wake of the Tim Simona and Ben Barba controversy.

Cronulla captain Paul Gallen has called on the NRL to implement two-year bans for players caught using illicit substances in the wake of the Tim Simona and Ben Barba controversy. But things haven't gone as planned, with Barba managing just one start in Toulon's run-on side since deciding to join the French glamour club. Liam Gill notched a double in an 82-14 Toulon win over Bayonne, crossing in the 5th and 56th minute in the much-needed victory. Ben Barba could be set for an NRL comeback.
