????????, gavi

"Mommy." Nico says as he walks towards me. I lie Gabriela down next to Estrella and turn to look at him.

"You okay, Nic?" I pick him up. He wraps his arms around my neck and looks at the twins.

"I don't wanna go to school today." He says quietly. Nico had a few problems in school. He joined later than everyone else and it caused him to not find that many friends. He had also told us that a few people had bullied him, saying that he'd never be as good as his dad in football.

Complete bullshit if you ask me. Nico and Blanca can be just as good as Gavi.

"Okay." I say quietly, stroking his hair from his forehead. "Tell you what, I'll call your school to say you're not coming in and we can go with daddy to his training, yeah?"

"Okay." Nicolás says. I put him down and he runs towards his room.

Gavi had taken Blanca to school. He had training a little after so he'd be back home briefly.

I glance back down at Gabriela and Estrella who was sound asleep. They were only a few months old now but were growing so quick.

I walked out of their room, softly shutting the door behind me. I walk into the living room and sit down in the sofa, turning on the tv, waiting for Gavi to come back.

Nicolás comes into the living room wearing his Barca shirt. Him and Blanca both had custom Barca shirts with their names and the number 6.

He climbed onto the sofa next to me, "When's dad getting back?" He asks.

"Soon." I reply, wrapping my arm over his shoulder. He nods his head and watches the tv.

"I'm home." Gavi yells. I get up from the sofa and walk towards the front door.

"You're supposed to leave like 2 minutes ago." I say. He quickly kisses my cheek and walks past me towards our room.

"I know. I know."

Nicolás walks into our room. Gavi spots him, he looks at me slightly confused. I look down at Nico before looking back at Gavi.

"Oh right." I say, "Can me and Nico come with you?"

"You can anytime." Gavi says, going into the closet to change. "Why though?"

I bend down to Nico, "Why don't you go get your shoes on, yeah?" He nods his head and walks out the room. I stand back up and walk into the closet to Gavi. "He doesn't want to go to school today."

"Ah." Gavi says, nodding. "We should speak to someone about that."

"Yeah I know." I say.

Gavi wraps his arms around me and kisses my head, "Okay come on, i'm already late." He pulls his arm from me and we walk out of our room.

Nicolás was sat on the floor by the front door, tying his shoes.

"You good Nic?" I ask, as I walk up to him. He looks at me and nods before standing up.

"Come on, Nico, let's get you in the car." Gavi says, picking Nico up in his arms.

I sat crosslegged on the grass watching Nico kick a football. Ale was playing with him.

Gavi sat next to me a few seconds later. I turned to look at him and smiled. "Training done?"

"Yeah." He says, pressing a quick kiss on my lips.

"Woah keep it pg, a child is right in front of you." Alejandro called, his hand going over Nico's eyes.

Gavi turned and glared at him. Nico came over to us after a few minutes and sat down. I looked up at Ale and sent him a small smile before he left, which he returned.

"Can we go home, i'm tired." He says, leaning his elbow on his knee and his head in his hand.

"Of course, Nic, we have to pick Stella and Ela up before though, okay?" I say. He nods his head in reply.

Gavi stands up, pulling me with him. Nico stands up as well and gestures towards Gavi, silently asking to be picked up. Gavi did so and Nico clung onto him, his head burying in his neck.

Gavi turned to me and mouth, "He's gonna sleep now."

"Yes I know." I mouthed back.

We slowly walked back to the car, stopping to talk to a few of Gavi's teammates if we passed them. We finally made it to the car. I opened the door and Gavi carefully put Nico, who had in fact fallen asleep, in his car seat.

I walked to the passenger side and got in the car, Gavi getting in the drivers side. "Are they with your mom?" He asks.

"Yeah." I reply. "I think they're still home. Mom said she had to go shopping but they're probably back by now."

"Okay." He replied. He started the car and began driving off. After a minute his hand found a place on my thigh, giving it a small squeeze.

I place my hand on top of his and squeeze it softly.
