Author: So, I was watching Grey's Anatomy, and George said something about family... and this just sprung up into my head. I'm working on another, but since I finished this first, I thought that I would post it up. Thank you for the alerts, and for the review... The more I get, the longer the chapters will be, I do believe.
Family
Elliot wasn't sure that his marriage would last, even with another child. Kathy had kicked him out. Angry. Upset. He had his own apartment now, and he kept Eli on the weekends that he didn't work. This was one of those weekends, and Olivia was over at his place.
He had ordered their usual chinese food while trying to get drinks from the kitchen. He was happy, because he got to spend time with two of his favorite people in the world on a rainy saturday when their case load was so light that Fin and Munch had volunteered to handle it.
"Got the drinks, Liv." he called, heading back into the living room. She was on the couch, playing with a three year old Eli. He was laughing and playing back, of course. Olivia was one of his favorite people in the world now that he actually got to see her a lot.
She looked up, smiling at Elliot as he sat their drinks on the table, along with Eli's. Olivia treasured the weekends like this, because she didn't know what it was like to have a family... but she thought that this feeling of completion... of utter joy and calm was as probably as close as she would ever get.
So while Elliot got up to answer the door for the delivery man in twenty minutes and Eli sat on the couch watching Batman: The Animated Series, she would enjoy every single moment.
Because in the blink of an eye it could all be gone.
