Olivia was stunned by who was standing at her door. She hadn't seen Elliot's children since before their father had left. At a loss for words Olivia steps aside and gestures Maureen, Kathleen, Lizzie in come in.
"Wow Liv, you look great"- Maureen said as she walked into Liv's apartment with her sisters following behind her. Olivia closed the door and turned to face the girls, running a hand through her hair.
"Did we catch you at a bad time? We were going to call first but then we decided to just surprise you, besides we haven't seen you in a while. How far along are you?"- Kathleen asks as she lays a hand on Olivia's stomach.
"No, no you didn't catch me at a bad time. I just wasn't expecting company. It's good to see all of you. Please sit, do you want something to eat or drink?"- Liv asks, trying to avoid answering questions about her pregnancy.
"No, we stopped for burgers on our way here"- Lizzie said
"To answer your question Kathleen, I'm 7 ½ months"- Liv blurts out, hoping they won't realize the connection between her pregnancy and Elliot leaving. There's no one, as far as Olivia knows, that knows Elliot was at her house the night before he left. They are seated now, Olivia on the chair and the girls on the couch.
"7 ½ months? Dad left 7 ½ months ago. Liv, is this dads baby?"- Maureen asked while her sisters kept their eyes on Olivia, waiting for an answer.
"No, why would you think that?"- Liv asks. This only made it more obvious that what Maureen just said was true.
"Because dad told us he had came to see you the night before he left"- Lizzie said. Olivia starts to cry, tears rolling down her face. These damn hormones she thinks.
"Would you like to see the baby's room?"- Liv asks as she gets up from the chair. The girls each get up and walk over to where Liv is standing and give her a hug. Olivia led Elliot's daughters down the hall to the nursery. The door was ajar so Liv pushed it open and walked in, the girls filing in behind her. She had chosen to paint the nursery a light pink. Above the crib were letters spelling out the baby's name.
"Mackenzie Grace? I like it"- Kathleen says as she walks over to the crib to get a better look at the room.
"Listen guys, what I'm about to ask of you will be hard I know but I need you to promise me that you won't tell Elliot about the baby, at least not right now," Olivia says, placing her hands on her growing belly, "I'm not ready for him to know. He left for a reason and he obviously hasn't worked everything out. He shouldn't come back just because I'm pregnant." Olivia looks around the room, waiting for someone to say something. When nobody says anything she excuses herself to go to the bathroom.
Once the girls hear the bathroom door shut they walk back into the living room. They aren't sure what to say. They silently made an agreement not to tell their dad he was going to be a father again. A few minutes later Liv walks down the hall and sits down in the chair she was sitting in earlier.
