Dominic sat Nova down at the table and plated her some breakfast. Olivia crossed the room and wrapped her arms around Dominic's waist. She leaned her head forward and pressed a kiss between his shoulder blades. "Thank you for making breakfast. That was really sweet of you." Dominic turned around and kissed Olivia soundly on the lips. "You know that I'm sweet on you. Besides, I really didn't know what to make." "Lucky for you, I like all breakfast food. You definitely lucked out in that department." Dominic pulled away and gave her a once-over look. He noted how her long shapely legs disappeared underneath the hem of his Marine Corps shirt. His boxer-briefs fit her like a second skin. Her large breasts strained the shirt in a way it wasn't used to, yet it looked so enticing on Olivia. His eyes kept going up until he saw the cocky smirk on her face. "Helped yourself to my clothes." "Yes I did because I couldn't find the clothes that I wore here." Dominic kissed her again, "I put them in the washer with mine to fill up the load of clothes I had. I hope it wasn't an issue." Olivia nipped at his mouth, "No, it's perfectly fine. Guess it's time to eat this lovely breakfast you made." The two adults forgot about Nova being in the same room with them until she spoke up. "The eggs are really good Ms. Olivia." Olivia gave a shy smile to Dominic and sat down. The previous night's activities left her famished and she was eager to dig into breakfast. The girls barely left anything for Dominic and he made a mental note that Olivia had quite the appetite just like Nova. When breakfast was done, Nova dragged Olivia into her room while Dominic cleaned up the kitchen.
Nova was dressing up one of her dolls when she looked up at Olivia. "Miss Olivia can I ask you a question?" "Of course, you can sweetheart. What's up?" Nova looked up at Olivia with bright and curious eyes, "Are you my new mommy?" Olivia froze for a moment, unsure of what to say, before she handed Nova the next doll. "Do you want me to be?" Nova shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know. I have a mommy that wasn't that nice to me. But you're really nice to me. I think I want a nice mommy just like Noah. Do you want to be my new mommy?" Olivia tucked some of her hair behind her ear. "When I was a little girl, I wanted a nice mommy too. I loved my mommy with everything in me and I think that she loved me too. My aunt was like my mommy. She taught me a lot of stuff. Nova, I would love to be your mom, but I don't want you to forget that you have another one. I think that just like my mom, your mom loves you and she doesn't know how to show it. I've always wanted to have a little girl but I was always so scared."
Nova crawled over to Olivia, "Why were you scared?" Olivia blinked back tears, "Because I never wanted to hurt my little girl and I thought that I would." Nova grabbed Olivia's face, "I think you're a great mommy. I would love for you to be my mommy." Olivia rubbed her nose against Nova's, "I would love to be your mommy too." Dominic was in the doorway watching the two of them and his heart felt full. Dominic was thanking his lucky stars that they connected again. Olivia felt eyes on her and turned to give Dominic a wide grin. Her outfit was now clean, so Dominic handed it to her, "I figured that we'd go pick up Noah and come back here for a lazy day in. The two of you are more than welcome to spend the night with us." Nova's excited shrieks were slightly deafening, "A sleepover with Noah and Miss Olivia! This is the greatest day ever!" Olivia placed a hand on Dominic's chest, "Guess we have our answer. Let me go get changed so that we can head to my place." Dominic kissed her and let her push past him.
"Daddy, do you love Miss Olivia?" Nova asked when she walked over to her father. He kneeled down and kissed her cheek, "Yeah monkey, Daddy loves Miss Olivia. Is that okay with you?" "Oh yeah!" Nova responded bouncing up and down. Olivia returned and the trio left Dominic's place and went in the direction of Olivia's home.
Lucy looked up when Olivia entered the apartment. Her smile grew wider when she saw Nova and Dominic enter behind her. Olivia motioned towards her two guests, "Lucy this is Dominic and Nova. Dom and Nova this is Lucy, Noah's babysitter. Lucy, thanks again for dropping in to pick him up from Fin…um where is he?" "Using the restroom. He should be back out here soon."
Noah came out of the bathroom and looked up before running right to Nova. Olivia looked slightly taken back and Dominic just shrugged his shoulders. "Ahem—Noah, Mom's here too." Noah let go of Nova and gave Dominic a big hug before finally circling back around to hug Olivia. Dominic playfully swatted her shoulder and she pouted, "I feel like chopped liver." Dominic kissed away the pout, "You're not chopped liver", he leaned in close to whisper in her ear, "you're my whole platter." Olivia's cheeks reddened and she tried to hide her shy smile. Lucy looked on with a mix of contentment and humor. Olivia finally turned and walked towards Lucy. She paid her and thanked her for picking him up from Fin. "You can have the next couple of days off. The four of us will be spending some time together." Lucy nodded, not bothering to hide her smirk, and left the apartment. Olivia went into Noah's room to pack a bag before walking into her own bedroom. She expected Dominic to be sitting on her bed waiting, but he was instead packing her bag. "I'm supposed to be packing my own bag." Dominic smiled at her and continued packing. When he went into her bathroom, she went to ensure that she'd packed all of Noah's favorite toys. She saw Nova and Noah on the couch watching a cartoon. She loved to see how protective Noah was of her. "Guys, we're about to leave. Are you ready?" They both responded yes in unison but Noah stopped Nova from standing up while he tied her shoe. He looked at Olivia and Dominic, "What?" Both adults gave nothing away but they loved how close their children were becoming.
