I walked into the squad room carrying two car seats and a diaper bag. "What's a girl gotta do to get some help around here?"
"Olivia what are you doing here?" Nick asked grabbing a car seat from me.
"I'm just visiting. I figured with all the bad things we see and talk about in this room, we could have a nice memory instead of dark things all the time." I said sitting Bentley on my desk.
"Hey baby girl."
"Olivia it's so nice to see you!" Amanda said and hugged me. "Oh my gosh, look how big they are getting!" She said looking at Bentley.
"I know right!"
"Geez Liv what are you feeding them?" Fin asked picking up Alexandra.
"Nothing but breast milk."
"Ok TMI!" Munch said walking into the room.
"Sorry Fin asked. Oh Fin be careful she been spitting up. Is Don in his office?"
"Ya."
I knocked on his door. "Come in." He said.
"Hey dad."
"Olivia what are you doing here?"
"I thought you might want to see your granddaughters, you haven't seen them since they were born, but if your too busy we'll just leave." I said and starting walking out.
"Don't you dare, let me see those little angels." He said and we walked out, I saw Nick holding Bentley, Fin bouncing Alex trying to get her to stop crying with Munch and Amanda helping him.
"How do you stop her?" Munch said covering his ears.
I laughed, walked over to Fin took her in my arms, starting walking around the room, bouncing her and talking to her in a slow calm voice. After 20 minutes she stopped crying, "See just like that Munch."
"They need a lot of attention don't they?" He asked.
"Ya they do." I told him as Alex spit up on me. "Ya see attention 24/7, this is why I never wear any of my nice clothes anymore."
"Ya we noticed." Nick joked.
"Gee thanks Nick."
"Let me see that little angel." Don said, I handed her to him, grabbed the wipes and cleaned myself up. Bentley started to fuss.
"Looks like someone is hungry." Nick said giving be Bentley.
"Thanks Nick will you grab a bottle out of the diaper bag?"
"Sure." He searched through the diaper bag, "Um...Liv there's no bottle in here all I see is, diapers, binkies, wipes, and onesies but no bottle."
"What?" I searched through the diaper bag while I was bouncing Bentley and found no bottles, then it donned on me. "Damn I left them next to the sink. I was so worried about getting the kids so school. grocery shopping, and checking on Calvin. I knew I forgot something."
"Liv you can use my office to feed her if you need too."
"Thanks." I took Bentley into the office to feed her. When I came out 10 minutes later.
"That was quick." Don said.
"She eats quick. Where did everyone go?"
"There was a rape in Manhattan they had to go to. So it's just us."
"Actually the kids get out of school soon I should probably go, but Elliot and I wanted to know if you and Liz wanted to some over for dinner."
"We would love too." He helped buckle the girls in their car seats and then fastened them into my van.
"So tomorrow around 6?" He asked.
"Sounds great."
"Do we need to bring anything?"
"No unless you want to bring dessert." I said.
"Ok we'll see you tomorrow." He said, hugged me goodbye.
I left and picked up the kids, went home put the twins to bed and started cleaning. "Ok time for homework."
"But mom."
"No buts Lizzie now go." They all went to their rooms and started on their homework. "If you need and help you know where to find me." I walked over to Calvin who was laying on the couch, "Hey sweetie you feeling any better?"
"No."
"I'm sorry come here." I said and sat down on the couch and he snuggled into me as we watched Transformers. My phone starting ringing. "Hello."
"Hey babe."
"Hey El what's up?"
"I'm have to work late tonight sorry."
"It's ok, I understand and it brings in money."
"Is Calvin and Alex feeling any better?"
"Well Alex is sleeping, and me and Calvin are snuggled on the couch watching Transformers, So basically not any better."
"I'm sorry I'm not there to help."
"It's ok El really."
"Ok well I gotta go, don't wait up for me, love you."
"Ok I love you too, be safe. Bye." The oven timer went off, I got off the couch and took dinner of the oven. "Dinners done." I yelled and every one came running and sat at the table. I served dinner, then we all cleaned the kitchen, then settled down in front of the T.V. "Did you all finish you homework?" I asked and looked around the family room.
"Yes." Lizzie said.
"Kathleen?"
"Yes mom."
"Dickie?"
"Yes mom."
"Eli?"
"Ya mommy I did."
"Ok" I said and we all cuddled on the couches watching Transformers, then the girls started crying again. I got up to get them but Maureen and Kathleen told me to sit and they would get them. So snuggled with two of my boys on the couch Calvin and Eli. "So what did the girls need?" I asked as Maureen and Kathleen came back in the living room.
"They just need to be changed." Kathleen said.
"OK thanks girls."
"Anytime mom."
We finished watching Transformers and I declared bed time.
"But mom were not sleepy." Dickie said as he yawned.
"But that yawn on your face says otherwise. Come on everyone go brush your teeth." They did what I told them and I carried Eli to bed, tucked him in, checked on the twins, grabbed the baby monitor and went back downstairs to cuddle with Calvin. It was about 10:30pm and before I knew it Calvin and I had fallen asleep on the couch. I woke up to crying through the baby monitor around 1:00am, so I carried Calvin to bed, tucked him in and went to the twins room. I changed Alex then Bentley, picked them both up and went to my room to feed them. Before I knew it I fell asleep again at 2:00am. I woke up to Bentley spitting up and crying, I got up put Alex in her crib and started bouncing Bentley. Elliot still wasn't home, I was starting to worry. Bentley fell asleep, I laid her in her crib and walked downstairs to find Elliot curled up on the couch asleep. I woke him up and we went to bed. I was sound asleep when I heard crying coming from the baby monitor. I got up looked at El who was still asleep then at the clock it was 5:00am. I went to the girls room and Bentley was crying and covered in spit up. I changed her clothes and put her in dry ones. Alex was still asleep, so I too Bentley downstairs put a peppermint and water in her bottle and gave her a little. About 6 she fell asleep again. I went back to bed and Elliot was still asleep I wanted to pounce on him and wake his ass up. I fell back asleep only to be woken up again at 8:00am to Alex crying I changed her, fed her, and just held her in my arms for about an hour, bouncing her, and talking to her enjoying our time together. I finally laid her back down as Bentley started to fuss, I changed her, fed her and held her in my arms, also enjoying our time together. She started to cry, I bounced her, tried walking around but nothing worked she wouldn't stop crying. I was already wide awake so I took her downstairs with me to make coffee. I sat down bounced her while drinking my coffee. Calvin walked downstairs.
"Hey mom."
"Hey sweetie did we wake you?"
"No."
"Ok good. You feeling any better today?"
"A little I'm hungry but I don't want to eat."
"Do you want me to make you some soup."
"Ok." I made him some soup which he managed to keep down. Bentley was fussy all morning but she finally calmed down around 11:00am, by now everyone was up except Elliot. I put Bentley in her crib and went to start cleaning the house. Of course when Maureen and Kathleen got up they helped me with the twins and cleaning. We finished cleaning the house at 1:00pm. The girls were sleeping which I took advantage of and crashed on the couch til about 4:00pm. I woke up to the Calvin, Eli and Dickie running in and out of the house screaming and shooting each other with fake guns. "Boys take it outside, your dad is asleep and so are your little sisters." I said sitting up. Was El still sleeping? I thought to myself. I walked up to the kitchen to fine Maureen and Kathleen watching the twins in the front room I smiled and asked, "How long have they been up?"
"About an hour."
"How long have I been asleep?"
"About 3 hours."
"You guys didn't wake me up?" I was surprised at long I had been sleeping.
"No we wanted to let you sleep."
"Thanks girls."
"Your welcome mom."
I walked upstairs into our room to see an empty bed, I walked into the bathroom and he was in the shower.
"Hey babe, wanna shower with me?"
"Uh..DUH." I stripped down and climbed in. We fooled around in the shower then when we got out we fooled around some more. By the time we were ready it was 5:30pm dad would be here soon. I went down and started cooking dinner.
"Mom Bentleys crying and wont stop." Kathleen said handing her to me.
I bounced her and tried to make dinner, which was not working very well.
Elliot came downstairs. "What is her problem?" He asked.
"I don't know, but I was up most of the night with her. Do you mind cooking the rest of dinner while I try and sooth her?"
"Ya anything to help."
"Thanks babe." I said and gave him a kiss.
We barley hear the doorbell ring over the boys running around screaming and yelling, the girls playing with Alex, Bentley crying, and me screaming at the boys to calm down or go outside. I finally answered the door with Bentley still screaming in my arms. "Hey dad."
"Hey Liv." He almost yelled back.
I hugged him with my free arm, "Sorry it's so noisy/hectic around here, with the boys running around screaming, girls laughing, and Bentley screaming non-stop."
"Let me see her, I'll try to calm her down." Liz said holding out her arms.
"Be my guest." I handed her Bentley.
"Hey Don, Liz how are you guys?" Elliot said coming around the corner to the front room, and greeted them with a hug.
"Were great how about you guys?"
"Were great." El said.
"Speak for yourself. You weren't up half the night with a sick baby, you were curled up sound asleep. I'm exhausted."
"I'm sorry babe."
"It's ok you worked. Liz you know where the nursery is, you can take her up there is you want more quiet."
"That's probably best." She said and took Bentley up the nursery.
"Calvin, Eli, and Dickie for the last time take it outside!" I yelled at them. They stared at me and I pointed to the backyard. They did as told and went outside.
"Damn babe that was sexy!"
I gave him a weird look.
"What?! Your cute when your irritated."
"Thanks." I said kissed him, and popped in a few migraine pills.
"You ok Liv?" Don asked.
"Ya fine, I just have a migraine."
"I'm sorry hun." El said wrapping his arms around my waist.
"Its ok."
We all sat down for dinner, talked a little, then the boys started running around and woke up the twins. Me and Liz tended to them, and went back downstairs I handed Bentley to Don and I helped Elliot clean the kitchen,
"Thanks for helping me clean the kitchen El." I said wrapping my arms around his neck.
"Anytime hun." He said and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me in for a kiss.
"EWW..get a room!" Calvin said.
We pulled out of the kiss and laughed. I noticed Don and Liz walking down the stairs, "The girls are asleep hopefully you can sleep tonight Liv."
"Thanks guys."
They left and we all went to bed.
