3 months later
Liv awoke to a gentle kiss being placed on her lips, one she wished was longer. "Goodbye El, make sure to call the restaurant for reservations" she said as he slipped out the door to their room. Elliot had decided to stay with them, things with Liv were going really well, and she had invited him to live with them. He had gotten a job about a week after, working at an insurance agency. Noah and him were getting closer and closer by the passing minute, always going on walks together and going to the park. It was nice for Noah to have a father figure around. Liv and elliot were falling in love, it was the only way to put it.
As Liv tried to lay back down, she heard the door open and Noah ran up onto bed, ready to enjoy some cuddles from mom. They stayed in bed for a bit, watching the tv and enjoying some much needed time with each other. Liv had the day off, because she had injured herself at work was deemed "unfit for work". She thought it was stupid, a simple concussion was not a good reason to keep her home for a week.
"I know Brenda, it's weird that he's so sweet lately but i'm going to just say that you've got a ring coming on your finger soon" she said on the phone with her best friend. "Well just because it's only been a year doesn't mean he won't do it, I've known people who got engaged in a month! Some people are just easy to fall in love with" She laughed. Noah came in asking for lunch, as it was somehow already noon. "Okay, Hey Brenda I gotta go, i'll talk to you later okay?" she hung up the phone and looked down at the boy. "What do you want?" He thought for a long while, and finally said "I want that spaghetti from the place down the road" She sighed. "Alright, let's get our jackets on."
For a sunday the restaurant was surprisingly quiet. "So, what are you doing at school tomorrow?" Liv asked, as they waited for the food. "I don't know, I think we are talking about the planets" She smiled. "Really? Which ones" He looked at her like she was stupid "all of them mom" he said in an obvious tone. She laughed at him. "Oh, okay. Well what else are you going to do?" He stopped his coloring and looked at her. "Hey mom, how long is Elliot going to stay with us?" The question surprised her. After a moment she said "well, for a while, until he doesn't want to I guess." The answer would hopefully subdue his further questions about it. "I really like Elliot, I want him to stay" He said, putting a smile on Liv's face. "I know you do, I like him too" she said.
After their lunch Liv went home feeling a little sick, thinking she got sick from the food. As Noah ran circles around her she finally stopped him. "Alright Noah, let's just sit down for a minute and let mommy rest, okay sweet boy?" she said, kissing the top of his head. He settled down next to her on the couch, allowing her some quiet. She was so sick, she hoped it wasn't the flu, considering that it was going around. Her phone buzzed and she realized it was Elliot. "Hello?" She said, rather tiredly. "Hey babe, everything okay?" "ugh, I'm not feeling the best, what's up?" "oh, I was just going to check in, but if you're not feeling well do you want me to cancel the reservations?" "Yes please, i'm sorry I just can't do it tonight" "It's totally fine, just let me know if I need to come home early to care for you" She smiled at his caringness. "Okay, thank you"
Liv hadn't thrown up in a long time, so she knew she was definately sick when she had to run to the bathroom. She figured she better go into the doctors to get some antibiotics, she didn't want to pass it onto anybody if she had the flu. She called her doctors office and scheduled an appointment. She sat back down on the couch, happy to see Noah fast asleep.
Elliot walked in to find them both asleep on the couch, happy in dream land. He set his groceries down and walked over to them. Liv started to stir as he took her hand. "Hey honey, how are you feeling?" "ugh, terrible. I'm going to the doctor's tomorrow for some antibiotics." "okay, do you need anything?" "nope, i'm fine for now"
She woke up in the middle of the night to a strange noise, it was coming from the kitchen. She reached over for Elliot and grabbed his hand. He shot up as he heard the noise, quietly getting his weapon. "Stay here" He whispered. The clanking stopped when he opened the door. Oh god, what was happening. A man in a typical robber-outfit, the black clothes, ski mask. He saw him look up, and said, gun pointed. "Now i'm going to give you 3 seconds to get out of my house or you're going to regret it" The man reached for something in his pocket. Elliot shot, right in the arm. He did this on purpose, as he could have easily killed the man, but this was not the point. He was merely saving him from being hurt by the man. The man fell back on the fridge, his arm pierced by the bullet. Incapable of doing any harm Elliot called the police and held his gun at him, letting him know not to try anything. Liv had heard, she knew what was going on. "It's okay Liv!" he shouted, to let her know he was okay.
The cops showed up and dragged the man away, thanking Elliot for merely stunning the man instead of shooting him dead. Elliot ran over to Liv the second it was safe, letting her know that nothing had been taken and it was fine. She was still sick, so this was just the icing on the cake. She ran into Noah's room when the coast was clear, pulling him into bed with them. After the police left Liv turned on the TV for him, considering none of them would be able to sleep. Liv and Elliot didn't really know how to react. "Thank you" was all she managed to say.
