"Dad, Lizzie would use her key." Maureen stated coming down the hall.
"Mo-Mo." a little girl yelled running past Elliot.
"Hey Peanut. Trevor, I thought you're always early." Maureen chuckled as she swept the little girl into her arms coming over to the door.
"Yeah well, we had a few setbacks. Could I come in for a few minutes?" Trevor laughed.
"Yeah I'm sorry. Daddy get out of the way I need to help him. Trevor, Olivia moved the living room around since you were last here. Twenty steps to the front and Twenty to the left from when you hit the carpet. Then you should be in front of the middle seat of the couch. Maureen said opening the door more and helping him get to the carpeted area.
"Thanks Maureen. Your a big help." Trevor stated softly.
"Hey Peanut why don't you go put your stuff in your room then we'll order food." Maureen said. The little girl nodded and ran off. "Trevor, do you need anything?"
"Actually, I ran out of medicine at the house. Ruth wanted to stop at the pharmacy but I told her I have a supply here. Could you get me 4 yellow and 5 purple." Trevor asked.
"Yeah no problem. Do you have a key for the drawer?" Maureen asked.
"No, the key is on top of the vanity in Liv's bathroom." Trevor stated. He heard footsteps running into the living room.
"Mo-Mo where's Momma Liv?" the little girl asked as she climbed up on to Trevor's lap.
"Well, she didn't feel good so she went to the doctor's. The doctor told her to stay there until tomorrow." Maureen said gently.
"Is everything okay with her? Is it okay that Lily is going to stay here? I could take her with me." Trevor said.
"She's okay or at least she will be okay. Lily is welcome to stay here. Katie, Lizzie, and Eli are going to be coming by as well as my dad is staying here until he finds a place. Also Liv wanted me to tell you she's sorry that she's not here, she'll call you later tonight as well as she wanted me to tell you that she loves you." Maureen stated sitting next to Trevor on the couch.
"Daddy are you going to marry Momma Liv?" Lily asked looking up at her father.
"No Lily. Livia and I are not going to get married. We talked about this remember. Liv and I are good friends. Yes we love each other and yes we love you but we're not going to get married." Trevor smiled hugging his daughter to him.
"I want to be a family." Lily pouted.
"Peanut. Just because Daddy and Liv aren't married doesn't mean we're not a family. We have a big family. We have you, Daddy, Liv, Katie, Dickie, Lizzie, Eli, and myself. We also have Captain, Uncle Munch, Uncle Mack, Uncle Fin, Aunt Kathy, Aunt Casey. We'll always be family." Maureen said gently.
"What the heck is going on?" Elliot mumbled from where he was still standing at the door.
"Oh Daddy, I forgot about you. Lily this is my Daddy Elliot. Dad this is Lily Trevor's four year old daughter and of course you know Trevor." Maureen said introducing them.
"Momma has a lot of pictures of you. You made her cry a lot." Lily said matter of factly.
"Stabler, I didn't realize you were back already. I didn't think you'd be back for another couple of days." Trevor
"Yeah my plans changed." Elliot stated thinking about what the little girl said. He watched as Maureen left the room and came back a little while later with a black pouch and handed it to Trevor.
"Thanks Maur. I gotta get going or Ruth is going to be coming to look for me." Trevor stated getting up from the couch.
"Do you want me to go down with you?" Maureen asked.
"No, Billy is waiting at the elevator for me. Lily come here and say goodbye." Trevor said.
"Bye Daddy. Love you much so. Get the bad guys." Lily said going over to him and hugging his leg.
"I love you much so too Lily Ann. I'll see what I could do. You be good for Momma Liv and everyone else. I'll call you to say good morning." Trevor said and gave a hug and a kiss to Lily. Maureen came went over and gave him a hug and then helped him to the door.
After Maureen made sure that Billy was at the elevator waiting for Trevor she shut the door. She turned around to see Lily and her father staring at her.
"Peanut what kind of food do you want?" Maureen asked.
"Can we have Mexico?" Lily asked.
"Sure. Why don't you go and get some games that we could play when everyone else gets here?" Maureen suggested.
"Could we maybe call Momma Liv. Cause if she's at the doctor she'll go to bed early and we need to say prayers." Lily asked.
"Sure. Let's call her." Maureen said going to pick up the phone. "First I'm calling in for the food. Then we'll call Liv." Maureen was on the phone for a while ordering everything. "Daddy do you think you could go and pick it up in about 45 minutes?"
"Yeah, how much?" elliot asked.
"Um, here's Liv's card. They'll let you use it. They know us really well there. Okay time to call Livia." Maureen said picking up the phone and dialing the hospital. She was bouncing around from department to department finally she got Liv's room.
"Hello?" a tired voice said.
"Hey Liv. I'm going to put you on speaker phone. Peanut here wanted to do prayers and make sure your alright." Maureen said pressing the speaker button.
"Momma Liv, are you okay?" Lily asked climbing up a stool by the bar.
"Hey my sweet angel. I'm okay. I'll be home tomorrow." Liv said as she perked up a bit. "How was Daddy today angel?"
"He went to work today. Miss Ruth went with him. He didn't stay long." Lily replied.
"Are you having fun with Maureen?" Liv asked.
"Yes I am. Katie, Lizzie, and Eli will be here soon. We're having Mexico food. Mr. Elliot hasn't talked to me much." Lily cried out.
"Well, he'll loosen up when the rest of the kids get there. Which reminds me. Dickie called wanting to know where everyone was. He's mad none of his sisters told him that they were having a party, so he's on his way." Liv said.
"How did he know you were at the doctor's?" Maureen said looking at Lily.
"He didn't he called Casey's cell when he couldn't get mine. I think it's still at the house. By the way how much food did you order?" Liv said.
"I ordered triple what we usually get. I figured Dickie would find his way here eventually." Maureen replied.
"Okay. The guys are stopping by the house and one of them is going to stay tonight. Hey angel how bout we do our prayers. The doctor is telling me I have to go to sleep in a couple minutes." Liv asked.
"Okay momma. Your coming home tomarra?" Lily asked.
"yeah baby. I'll be home tomorrow by the time you wake up from your afternoon nap. Now let's start." Olivia said.
"Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the lord my soul to keep. If I should die before I wake, I pray the lord my soul to take. God bless me, daddy, momma Liv, momma angel, aunt Casey, uncle captain, uncle crunch, mo-mo, Katie, Lizzie, Dickie, Eli, Uncle Ode, Uncle Mack, Aunt Kathy, Mo-Mo's daddy, and alex" Lily and Liv recited.
"Very good angel." Liv said. "I gotta go angel. I'll see you tomorrow and you could call Aunt Casey's cell phone in the morning if you want. Sweet dreams. Love you my angel"
"Love you momma." Lily said.
"Night Liv. Sleep well." Maureen said as they hung up.
Maureen grabbed plates, silverware, napkins, and glasses from the cupboards and put them out on the
counter. Kathleen had come in with the soda while Elliot had left to pick up the food.
"This is really weird Maur." Kathleen stated after she made sure that Lily wasn't in the room.
"I know what you mean. Do you think she told him?" Maureen asked.
"I doubt it. I mean before today she hadn't talked to him since he left everyone." Kathleen replied.
