Lovins,

"Breanna! Bryce! Come on! Dinner's ready!" I yell up to my twins who are playing Candyland in the upstairs playroom.
"Comin' Momma!" I hear Bryce yell and then little footsteps come racing down the stairs along with heavier ones from the living room.
"What's for dinner Mommy?" My little brown eyed toddler, Breanna asks. She's starting to look even more like me every day and I've noticed she's getting pretty tall for being only four. Both Bryce and Breanna are three inches taller than average for their age.
"We, my dear, are having homemade pizza with pepperoni and sausage for me and you, and pepperoni and mushrooms for Dad and Bryce. How's that sound?"
"Is there extra cheese?" Bryce asks, big ocean blue eyes sparkling excitedly.
"As always, Bubby. What do you think I am? Crazy?" The twins giggle and then roll their eyes, with big sighs.
"No Mommy! But you'd haffta be crazy if you didn't put extra cheese on a pizza and Bryce and Daddy were eatin' it!" Breanna laughs and we all sit down to dinner. I'm having a wonderful day and I'm hoping it'll last for the conversation Elliot and I are going to have with the twins after dinner.
I woke up this morning to a rose on my pillow and a note from El.
Morning Sunshine,
I had a ton of fun last night:)
Hope you did too.
Go to the bathroom.
There's a surprise waiting for you.
I love you babe!
-El
I walked into the bathroom and there were jasmine scented candles surrounding the bathtub and gel bath beads sitting on the side of it. My Herbal Essences orchid and coconut milk shampoo and conditioner sat diagonal from the bath beads. On the sink there was coconut lotion, my hairbrush, my toothpaste and toothbrush and deoderant. My husband had thought of everything and I was pretty sure we were headed back up from the hell we had been in after we lost Zac and D.J. I then saw a note taped to the mirror. I grabbed it and grinned at what I read.
Hey Dollface,
I was going to join you but our dear twin terrors woke up an hour early.
So I decided I would set this all up for you and let you bask in motherhood.
I hope I thought of everything.
Relax for awhile and when you get out come on down to the kitchen.
Love ya hon!
-Your favorite husband
I took my bath, dressed in shorts and an NYPD tank-top and headed downstairs. I was greeted with Bryce and Breanna at the kitchen table eating scrambled eggs, ham and toast with strawberry milk. Elliot was scooping eggs, bacon, ham and toast onto two other plates and pouring two glasses of orange juice.
"Mornin' Momma!" Bryce grinned through a mouthful of eggs and I smiled back at him and Breanna who was waving.
"Hey Baby. How was your morning?" My husband grinned and set the plates and cups on the table then wrapped his arms around my waist.
"Abso-freaking-lutely wonderful!" I exclaimed grinning then kissed him on the lips.
We all got done eating and then went to the park to let the kids play. We packed a picnic and at half after eleven ate turkey and cheese sandwiches with various sodas.
We then headed back home and laid the twins down for a nap. When they woke up we all had a little snack, choosing between an apple or an orange, and I sent Elliot to watch the Yankees and Bryce and Breanna upstairs to play.
Now here we sit, in our living room, and my husband and I are getting ready to have a very difficult but exciting conversation.
"Hey guys, do you think you would like me to be home some more?" Elliot asks. We've decided to tackle his new job news first.
"Yeah!" They both scream and Elliot and I grin at each other.
"Well...Grandpa Don is quitting his job and Daddy is going to take over. So Daddy will get to leave later in the morning and get home earlier in the evening. Sound good?" I ask and laugh as they trample to Elliot giving him big hugs and sloppy kisses.
"That's so cool!" Bryce says and Breanna nods happily.
"Guess what else?" Elliot asks and I smirk.
"What?!?!"
"Do you two want a baby brother or sister?" I ask.
"Yea! But we don't want you and Daddy to get hurt this time." Breanna swallows nervously and I can't help but feel guilty even though Elliot tells me time and time again that it wasn't my fault.
"Oh Baby, we'll do everything in our power not to get hurt. Last time it was an accident and a very bad man did that. Not Mommy or me. Okay?" Elliot says sternly but lovingly and sets Bre on my lap after she nods.
"Well, you guys are going to have either a little brother or a little sister. Are you excited?" I ask smiling softly.
"Yea! I hope it's a boy so I can teach him how to pee in the big boy potty!" Bryce exclaims and both Elliot and I burst out laughing.
"You keep thinkin' about that Son." El says still chuckling.
"I want it to be a boy too. So that I can still be your Baby Girl. Is that okay Mommy?"
"Awww, Sweety you'll always be my Baby Girl no matter if you get a sister or a brother okay?" She nods and I smile at my family.
We get a call on the phone just as Liz and Dickie walk in. It turns out to be Maur and Katie on the phone. We put them on speaker and have Lizzie and Dickie sit with us in the living room. After we tell them, which draws screeches from the girls and an exagerrated "Yes!" from Dickie, we talk about names and who wants what sex. We've all decided that a boy would be best since they're already out-numbered but we'd love a girl just the same.
As Elliot holds me in his arms tonight and I'm drifting between the here and now and "Sleepy Town" as the twins call it, I think that I've never been happier and I can't wait for this baby to come. I fall asleep to the sound of Elliot singing The Day Before You by Rascal Flatts, the song we had our first dance to as Mr. and Mrs. Elliot and Olivia Stabler.
God, I'm in love with my life right now.
