1 Week Later

Olivia and Elliot were sitting at the kitchen table feeding the triplets. Casey, Fin, Don and John were in the living room playing poker. Alex and Simon went out to the back porch.

Casey looked up at Alex and Simon and laughed. "They like each other," she whispered to Fin teasingly.

Fin nodded with a smile.

Olivia and Elliot looked at each other and smiled.

"My best friend and my brother?" Olivia giggled.

Elliot shook his head and continued to feed Elijah his bottle.

Alex put her hands on the railing. Simon stood beside her, facing her. He couldn't help but smile. They had known each other about a week and already they had made a connection. Simon had left his life in New Jersey and moved up to New York to be closer to Olivia, the kids and her. They were both falling hard and fast for each other. Alex turned her head away from him, trying to be coy, but he brought her face back over and they looked into each other's eyes. Alex's whole body went numb, she felt like jelly and like she was going to melt all over him at any minute. He felt this sense about her and just smiled. She moved her face towards his like a spacecraft being pulled by the gravity of the moon. As she moved he felt the same attraction and couldn't help but let her lips land on his. Their mouths opened and their tongues twisted in each other. Alex wrapped her arms around Simon's neck and he put his arms around her waist.

Casey, Fin, Don and John stood by the door of the porch and looked out.

"Liv!" John whispered loudly, waving her and Elliot over.

They rushed over and looked out the door between Fin and John.

Elliot's kids walked into the house just then.

"Dad! Olivia!" Kathleen shouted walking down the hall.

Casey poked her head around the corner and waved for them to come over.

"What's going on?" Lizzie asked Casey.

"Alex and Simon are on the back porch," Casey giggled.

"What?" Maureen snapped running over to the door.

"Cool," Dickie said in a daze.

Kathleen and Maureen hit him in the back of the head.

"Does that make her Aunt Alex?" Lizzie laughed.

"Not quite," Olivia said rolling her eyes at Lizzie.

They all laughed.

Alex pulled away from Simon slowly. She looked deep into his eyes wondering what he was thinking. This was the first time they had kissed. This was the first time she felt this way about anyone in a long time. She didn't want to ruin the moment by saying something. She didn't want to move for fear of not being in his arms. There she felt safe. She felt the erge to kiss him again but she resisted for fear of too much too soon. They hadn't said a word to each other since before they went to the porch. Simon smiled at her. He couldn't help but smile every time he saw her. He just loved everything about her. Her voluptuous lips, her flowing blonde hair, the curves in her face and of her body, her bright, blue eyes. She smiled amongst a blush. He lowered his hands to meet her ass. He squeezed gently which made her laugh.

"I love you Alex," he finally said smiling.

Tears began to swell up in her eyes. She couldn't breath. She just stood there as numb and motionless as ever. "I love you too Simon," she sighed smiling up at him.

Their embrace became closer once more and their lips met again. Their tongues slipped around each other again. Alex rubbed her hands around Simon's neck and moved up through his hair.

"Will you move in with me?" He asked looking hollowly into her eyes.

She shut her eyes softly and nodded with a smile. She laughed slightly and then brought her hand down to meet his. She took his hand up in hers and they walked back into the house.

The crowd dispersed at the sight of them coming in. They all went back to the activities that they had been doing when they left. The kids had joined the group playing poker.

"Wasn't that what you had when we went out Casey?" Alex sneered peering over her shoulder.

"Ummm…" Casey she said nervously looking over at John.

"Like something you saw anyone?" Alex said teasing towards everyone in the room.

They all just looked at each other and kind of laughed it off.

"Simon and I are moving in together," Alex said proudly looking over at Simon.

The group just kind of smiled and shook their heads.

"It has been a week. How long do you think it will last?" Elliot whispered to Olivia.

"I think it will last a lifetime," she said with a smile and a sigh as she leaned in to kiss him.

"Well aren't you the optimistic one," he laughed.
