This Chapter is pretty much all Fluff. There aren't too many chapters left just so you know. The next chapter will jump ahead further into the pregnancy, it will probably be the last chapter before she has the baby. I'll try and update soon!

That weekend the twins had plans with friends and Elliot and Olivia took Eli to go shopping not only for furniture in the nursery but also new stuff for his room. They were currently walking down the isles at one store looking at cribs.

"I like the look of the wood cribs." Olivia said running her hand over one of them. "And we could get one that would match the color of the rocking chair…"

Elliot nodded as he carried Eli in his arms. "I like that idea. It would look good with the yellow paint too."

"Dad what was my crib like?" Eli asked. "I cant remember…"

Elliot smiled at his son. "You had the same crib as your brother Dickie. It was wooden kinda like this one."

"How come you aren't going to use the same crib for the new baby?" Eli asked.

"Well your Mom gave that crib your Aunt Laura for your cousin Michael when you were old enough for a big boy bed." Elliot said.

Eli nodded. "Well I have a big boy bed for your house and Mommy's house. But can I get some other stuff for my room?"

Elliot nodded. "Sure. I think you need a new toy box because right now your toys are all over the place and I keep tripping over them." He said tickling his sons sides.

Eli giggled. "Can I get one that looks like a treasure chest? My bed looks like a pirate ship so I want to have a pirate room." He asked excitedly.

"We can look for one sure." Elliot said as he placed him down on the ground and took his hand. "You want to help us pick up new stuff for your brothers room too?"

Eli nodded before turning back to the crib that Olivia had pointed out. "I like that crib the best."

Olivia ruffled his hair. "You have good taste kiddo."

Eli smiled up at her and took her hand too. "What other stuff do we need to get?"

"Well we need to get a changing table for the baby too." Olivia said.

Eli scrunched up his nose. "You mean to change dirty diapers?"

Elliot laughed. "Yep."

Eli shook his head. "I want to help with my brother…but I don't want to change dirty diapers."

"Yeah me either…" Elliot said groaning.

Olivia shot him a warning look out of the corner of her eye. "You Eli don't have to worry about diaper duty. Your Dad however will not be able to get out of it no matter how hard he tries."

Elliot smirked and Eli smiled. "Well good. I remember when we went to visit Aunt Laura and she had to change Michael's diapers. Those were stinky!"

"Yes it's not the best part about having a baby in the house…" Elliot said.

Olivia laughed as they walked towards the changing tables. "What do you think Eli? Which one looks the best to you?"

Eli let go of their hands and walked towards a few changing tables, he put his hand on his hip and studied them intently. "Well…that one is pink and I don't want my brother to have a pink changing table. So not that one…" He said as he began to walk towards a few different ones.

"Okay…not the pink one. What about that one over there? It's the same color wood as the crib you like." Olivia said.

Eli walked over to it and smiled. "I think this one is perfect!"

Olivia smiled. "Well then I guess we have a winner!"

Eli turned and smiled. "What else do we need?"

"We need to pick out a height chair for when your brother is big enough for it. And a new car seat." Elliot said.

Eli looked at him for a moment. "But when do we get to go pick stuff out for my room?"

Olivia laughed. "Tell you what, Elliot why don't you go and order the crib and changing table. And I'll take Eli to go look at some stuff for his room. Meet us over in the toy section when you're done."

Elliot smiled and looked at Eli. "What do you think about that buddy?"

Eli smiled. "Sounds like the perfect plan to me!"

Olivia laughed and turned to Elliot. "We can pick the other stuff out later. We still have time."

Elliot smiled and leaned forward to kiss her. "Thanks babe. I'll see you in a bit."

Olivia reached for Eli's hand and they began to walk towards they toy section. "I need a new toy box like Daddy said. But can I get a new toy?"

Olivia smiled. "I think that will be okay…you've been so good helping me out around the house lately I think you deserve it."

Eli smiled and walked over to a row of toy boxes. "Do you see any that look like a treasure chest?"

Olivia walked up and down the aisle. "Oh this one looks like a treasure chest. And it's got blue and red in it which are your favorite colors. What do you think?"

Eli ran over to where she stood and knelt down in front of it. "Oh look there's even a key for it!"

Olivia smiled. "That's pretty cool. Do you like it?"

"Yeah!" Eli said with a huge smile on his face. "I think it's big enough to fit most of my toys too!"

Olivia smiled. "Well that is very important." She looked around the area and smiled. "Oh hey Eli look at this stuff…"

Eli walked over to the corner of the store with her where there was a whole pirate section. There was a pirate kit with a fake sword, eye patch and a telescope.

"Can this be my new toy?" Eli asked excitedly jumping up and down.

Olivia smiled. "I don't see why not."

Eli looked up at her and then saw his Dad coming over to them. "Dad! Dad look!"

Elliot smiled at his son and looked at the Pirate pack in front of him. "Wow! Look at all that stuff!"

"Olivia says I can get it. Is that okay?" Eli asked hopefully.

Olivia smiled at her husband. "I think Eli has been a great big help lately and he's been so good with the move to a new house. I think he deserves it. What do you think hun?"

Elliot smiled. "I definitely agree with that. Is this what you want?"

Eli nodded adamantly. "Yes!"

Elliot laughed. "Alright. Well then we can get this. Did you find a toy box?"

"Yeah it looks just like a treasure chest and it even has a key! I'm gonna be a like a real life pirate!" Eli said jumping up and down.

Elliot smiled. "Captain Eli! Arrrgh!"

Eli couldn't stop smiling. "Thanks Dad!" He said lunging at Elliot and hugging him tightly. "I'm so excited!" He turned to Olivia. "And thanks Olivia!"

Olivia smiled and hugged him back. "You are more than welcome little buddy."

Eli looked at his Dad and Olivia. "Can I get one more thing for my new room?"

"What would you like?" Elliot asked. "We can talk about it."

"Well I want a bookshelf. Grandma bought me a bunch of new books for my Birthday and I want somewhere to put them." Eli said.

Elliot smiled. "Well I think that is definitely something we can get for you."

Eli's smile grew wider. "I'm going to have the best room ever!" He said as he ran over to the toy chest to look at it again.

Olivia smiled at her husband. "Sorry I didn't run by the new toy thing with you first…" She shrugged. "I just figured there have been a lot of new changes lately going on for him and he's been so good."

Elliot smiled. "You don't have to apologize. You are so good to my kids Liv."

Olivia smiled. "Well I love them El. You know that." She paused. "I just…I don't want to overstep my boundaries ya know? Eli has a Mom already…I don't want to make Kathy feel like I'm trying to take her place. I want to be a part of your kids lives but I just want to do it in a way that is comfortable for her."

Elliot nodded. "Kathy knows that. There will be adjustments we need to make…and if we need to we can have a talk with Kathy if that will make you feel more comfortable."

"I just want Kathy to know how much I respect her as a Mother." Olivia said smiling. "She's such an amazing mother."

Elliot smiled. "Yeah she is. She is much more responsible for how amazing my kids are than I am. Lord knows she has spent more time with them than I have…a lot of the time she was really a single mother."

Olivia cupped his cheek in her hands. "Aw hun you were there as often as you could be. You work hard, and your kids understand that."

Elliot shrugged. "Yeah well…she did a lot on her own. And she'll never know how much I appreciate that."

Olivia smiled. "I'm really glad that you have such a good relationship with Kathy."

"It doesn't make you uncomfortable?" Elliot asked curiously.

Olivia shook her head. "No. I trust you."

Elliot smiled and leaned in to kiss her. "Good. Because you really have nothing to worry about. You're the only one I want."

Olivia smiled. "I know." She kissed him again before pulling back. "Did you order the crib and the changing table?"

Elliot nodded. "Yup. I'm going to pick them up on Tuesday."

Olivia nodded. "Sounds good."

"Dad! Olivia! Look at this! The Toy chest comes with a treasure map!" Eli yelled excitedly.

Olivia smiled and pulled her husband towards Eli. "Come on, I think we're going to have quite an adventure with him today."

Later that night, Elliot was cleaning up in the kitchen while Olivia helped get Eli ready for bed. The front door opened and Dickie and Lizzie walked in laughing about their day out with their friends.

Elliot smiled as they walked into the kitchen. "Hey guys. Did you have a good day?"

Lizzie smiled and sat down at the table. "Yeah! We went to the mall and hung out with friends and then went to see a movie and grabbed dinner."

Elliot smiled. "Sounds fun."

"Did you guys get stuff the baby's room?" Dickie asked grabbing a soda in the fridge.

"We ordered a crib and a changing table for the baby and we got some stuff for Eli's room. Do you guys need anything for your room? I should have asked…" Elliot said.

"Well now that you mention it…" Dickie said opening up his mouth as he sat down next to Lizzie.

Lizzie punched him in the stomach. "Don't listen to him. We don't need anything." She said shaking her head. "You have enough things to worry about. Besides, we'll be off to school next year anyway."

Dickie rubbed his stomach. "You didn't have to hit me."

"Yeah I did because you're an idiot." Lizzie said rolling his eyes.

"I resent that." Dickie said glaring at his sister. "Out of the two of us, I'm clearly the smarter twin."

Elliot chuckled and sat down at the table with them. "I don't know about that…"

Lizzie laughed. "But seriously…Dad don't worry about Dickie and I. With the new baby coming you have enough on your mind."

Elliot shrugged. "Yeah maybe…but you guys are just as important. Olivia and I want to make sure you are just as comfortable here as you are at your Moms house."

"We appreciate that. And we are just as comfortable." Lizzie said as she reached over to squeeze her Dads hand before turning to her brother. "Aren't we Dickie?"

Dickie nodded. "Yeah Dad…I was just kidding. We don't need anything for our room."

"I know it's not ideal for you guys to share a room…" Elliot said sighing. "I mean I can try and do something in the basement if you want…"

Dickie shook his head. "Don't worry about it. We're fine."

"Yes Dickie and I have made very specific rules on how to share a room. He knows not to cross the line onto my half and I don't' cross the line to his half. The door is neutral space of course and I keep a bottle of fabreeze on my bedside table at all times to ward off his stench." Lizzie said smiling.

Elliot laughed. "Sounds like you have it all figured out."

"And the best part is Lizzie gets so annoyed with how messy I am that eventually she'll just get fed up and throw my clothes in the wash so I don't have too!" Dickie said happily.

Lizzie shook her head. "Now that I realize you do it on purpose…I won't be doing it anymore."

Dickie rolled his eyes. "So you're telling me…no matter how long my dirty, smelly clothes are sitting around you're just going to ignore them?"

Lizzie was quiet for a moment before sighing. "Yeah…I can't do that."

Elliot chuckled. "Well if it any point you can't take it anymore…I'm sure we can figure something out with one of the rooms in the basement. This is your home too…I know its hard to have Mom and I divorced and to have two houses. But ultimately I think that it's a good thing for all of us…"

Lizzie smiled. "Dad of course every kid dreams of having their parents stay together forever. But it's not like you and Mom hate each other, you're still friends and we're all still a family. And besides, we love Olivia and couldn't be happier for the two of you…your happiness is the most important thing to us."

Dickie nodded. "Exactly. And especially now that you're having a baby…our family is just going to be more kick ass. Especially since it's a boy."

Elliot smiled. "Alright then…but I mean if you do have any issues…please talk to me about them okay?"

Lizzie smiled. "We will."

Elliot stood up and kissed her on the head and then ruffled Dickie's hair. "Alright. Well I'm gonna go check on Olivia and make sure that Eli hasn't taken advantage of how nice she is too him."

Lizzie and Dickie laughed as Elliot walked out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his sons room. He could hear Eli giggling as Olivia finished up his bedtime story.

"Can't you read another one?" Eli asked as she closed the book when Elliot stood in the doorway of their room.

Olivia looked over at the clock on the wall. "I don't think so mister. Mom said your bed time was eight and it's already 8:10!"

Eli laughed. "I wont tell her!"

Olivia laughed and kissed the top of his head. "Of course you won't." She stood up and scooped him up in her arms before plopping him back down in the middle of the bed making him laugh again. "You're not going to weasel your way out of this Eli. It's time for bed!" She said trying to act stern, but Eli saw right through her and they both started laughing.

Eli smiled up at her. "Do you think my new brother will like me?"

Olivia sat down on the side of his bed and stared down at him. "Like you? I think he is going to love you! How could he not?"

Eli smiled. "I just want to be a good big brother like Dickie is."

Olivia leaned down and kissed his forehead. "And you will be Eli…don't you worry."

Eli reached up and put his hand on her stomach. "Good. Cuz I already really love him."

Olivia smiled and smoothed some of his hair off of his forehead. "See…you're already a great big brother."

Eli looked from her stomach back over to her. "I'm really glad you married Daddy, Olivia."

Olivia's smile grew wider. "Well I'm really glad I did too Eli…"

Elliot smiled and walked into the bedroom. "Ready for bed buddy?"

Eli looked over at his Dad and nodded. "I think so."

Elliot winked at Olivia and sat down on the other side of Eli's bed. "Need me to check for monsters under the bed?"

Eli's smile faded slowly. "I almost forgot!"

Elliot laughed. "Well then I guess it's a good thing I mentioned it!"

He stood up before kneeling down on the bed and lifted the blanket to look under the bed. "Let's see here…"

Eli looked over at Olivia who just smiled encouragingly at him before Eli looked back at his Dad. "Do you see anything?"

Elliot looked around for another few seconds before sitting up again. "All clear here."

Eli nodded slowly. "Can you check the closet now too?"

Elliot nodded. "Of course." He walked over to the closet and opened it slowly, peaking his head inside he spotted a stuffed animal bear that Eli usually slept with.

"Anything in there?" Eli asked nervously cuddling into Olivia.

Elliot smirked and grabbed the bear. "Well…there's definitely something in here."

Eli swallowed hard and squeezed Olivia's leg. "What is it?"

Elliot grabbed the stuffed animal and turned quickly back to his son and threw it at him. "It's Freddy!"

Eli jumped slightly before he realized it was the stuffed animal bear that landed on his lap, he looked at his Dad with a stern look on his face. "Dad!"

Elliot chuckled and walked back over to the bed. "Yes?"

Eli continued to pout before he smiled and sat up and hugged his dad. "I can't believe I almost forgot Freddy the Teddy in the closet!"

Elliot smiled and hugged his son back. "Must have been when you were putting your toys away this afternoon."

"Nothing else in there?" Eli asked as he sat back on his bed again.

Elliot shook his head. "Nope. No monsters in there either."

Eli smiled and held his teddy bear close and began to yawn. "Good."

Olivia pulled the blankets up around him. "All ready for bed now?"

Eli snuggled deeper into his blankets. "Yes I am."

Olivia leaned down and kissed the top of his head. "Night buddy."

"Night Olivia. Love you." Eli said as his eyes began to close slowly.

Olivia smiled and kissed his head again. "I love you too Eli."

She stood up and walked towards the door and waited in the hallway. "No monsters, you got teddy…anything else?" Elliot asked.

Eli stared up at his Dad with a smile. "You have to say it Dad!"

Elliot smiled down at his son. "Say what?" He asked playing with his son.

Eli giggled. "Say it! Say it!"

Elliot pondered for a moment. "Let's see…am I supposed to say goodnight, sleep-tight, don't let the bedbugs bite?"

Eli giggled again. "NO!"

"No? Oh… is it…" He pondered for another minute as Olivia watched from the doorway smiling. "Buenos Noches?"

"No!" Eli giggled. "That's not even English!"

Elliot nodded. "Huh…I guess its not." He paused. "Oh…I think I know what I'm supposed to say." He smiled down at his son and whispered. "Goodnight stars, goodnight air, goodnight noises everywhere."

Eli smiled. "That's it!"

Elliot smiled and leaned down to kiss his son on the forehead. "Love you Eli."

Eli snuggled into his pillow and closed his eyes. "Goodnight Dad."

Elliot walked around the bed and to the bedroom door before flicking off the light. Olivia smiled and stepped out into the hallway as Elliot shut the door.

"Do you always say that to him?" Olivia asked.

Elliot smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Goodnight Moon was his favorite book when he was a baby so Kathy and I always say it when we put him to bed."

Olivia smiled and wrapped her sweater around her tighter. "That's adorable."

Elliot shrugged. "For some reason…it soothes him."

Olivia leaned forward to kiss him. "Are Lizzie and Dickie home?"

Elliot nodded. "Yeah. They had dinner already so I think there just going to hang out for awhile and watch movies."

Olivia nodded as she yawned. "That's good."

Elliot smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder and led her to their bedroom. He knew that the further along she got into the pregnancy the more tired she became during the days.

"Come on baby…lets get you to bed." Elliot said kissing the top of her head.

Olivia shook her head. "No…no I'm not tired. We can…hang out if you want."

Elliot chuckled and rubbed her shoulders. "You're tired. It's okay…"

Olivia turned in his embrace and smiled at him. "You're too good to me."

"I love when you say that…especially when were in bed." He said with a smirk.

Olivia giggled. "You know…I'm pretty sure that if you were up for it…I would definitely not be too tired to have sex."

Elliot raised an eyebrow. "Oh is that so?"

Olivia nodded her head. "Yeah…I thin that would wake me right up if you wanted too."

Elliot smiled. "Well then what are we waiting for?" He asked dragging her to the bedroom.

Olivia giggled as Elliot dragged her to their bedroom. Everything was finally coming together and all they had to do now was wait for the baby. Then their family would be completle.
