Here's this week's chapter y'all! And guess who sees who again?! That's right this is the chapter when Charlotte comes to LA so read on! Again thanks for reading and reviewing and don't forget to review this chapter :)
The week had gone by quickly and Addison was at work waiting for Charlotte and Derek to come pick up Olivia. She had enjoyed having Olivia over this week so now she was a little bummed that Charlotte was coming to get her. But she was also fine with it, because Charlotte and Olivia would be staying with Addison until Charlotte could find a place for them.
Cooper and Olivia had definitely bonded this week. She would spend every possible moment with Cooper, he'd take her for lunch or ice cream, or just to walk around the Santa Monica pier. After the night he brought Olivia home so Addison could work, he had brought Olivia back two times more in which Julia behaved nicer toward Olivia. Now Cooper was definitely sad that Olivia's mother was coming back because that meant he'd get to spend little to no time with Olivia once she came back.
Charlotte and Derek had arrived in LA with a two hours delay in their flight and although they enjoyed their vacation they couldn't wait to see Olivia again. Charlotte and Olivia were staying here in LA but Derek was flying back to New York later that night. So they'd go pick Olivia up at Addison's practice, go to have lunch and then go for a little sightseeing together. As a little family.
Addison was seating at her desk when she decided to call Cooper.
"Hey, Cooper. Where are you guys at?" She asked.
"We're still at the pier, Livvy's having some ice cream." He smiled looking towards Olivia.
"Well I'm glad you two are having fun but I just got a call from Liv's mom, she's on her way here. So you two need to get here soon."
"Alright Addison, we'll be on our way now" Cooper said and hung up.
As he walked holding Olivia's hand he couldn't help but feel sad, he had grown too attached to the little girl and now she was going back to her mom and step-dad. He felt jealous of the man who Olivia called daddy sometimes, when she called him dad the first time he brought her home he couldn't sleep the rest of the night, he wanted a child, maybe that's why he had grown so attached to Olivia.
Charlotte walked into the Practice and asked which one was Addison's office, she hurried there not wanting to spend another minute away from her daughter.
She knocked lightly on the open door just for Addison to acknowledge her presence.
"Charlotte! Hi, come in, seat" Addison said from the couch.
Charlotte sat down and was offered coffee "No thanks, I'm actually gonna rush out, Derek's waitin' for us downstairs. He doesn't have that long to be with us"
"He's going back today?"
"Tonigh' so we have a few hours. Where's Olivia?"
"Umm, she is... still with Cooper. I called him and he said they'd be back soon"
"He better hurry up. I can't wait to see my baby"
Charlotte and Addison continued to talk. In the lobby the elevator bell dinged, when the doors opened Cooper and Olivia stepped into the lobby.
"Dr. Freedman" a woman called for Cooper. "I'm sorry to drop in on you like that but Samuel has a weird rash on his skin. I was wondering if you'd mind having a look"
"Sure, I have no patients right now" truth was he was slightly annoyed. He knew it was his last few minutes with Olivia and honestly he was dying to meet her mother, the woman who raised such an intelligent, adorable and funny little girl.
"Ok Liv, go to Auntie Addie's office, I have to take care of my patients now."
"But Cooper!" Olivia whined.
"I will see you later kiddo, we can go get some cookies. What do you think?" He secretly hoped her mother would take longer.
"Yay! I wants cookies!" Olivia hugged Cooper and ran towards Addison's office.
When she ran through the doors her eyes lit up instantly.
"Momma!" Olivia hollered running into her mother's arms.
Cooper was walking towards the check up room when he heard Olivia, his heart broke a little as he knew she'd probably leave and he didn't get to say bye or get her the cookies he promised. He just hoped he'd see her tomorrow again.
"How are you baby? Did you had fun with auntie Addison?" Charlotte said with Olivia still wrapped in her arms.
"Yes momma! I loves auntie Addie! I saw the beach! Auntie Addie lives next to it!"
"That's so nice baby, you can tell me all about it, but first say bye to auntie Addie, Derek's taking us to look around and eat." Charlotte smiled at her daughter.
She thanked Addison and told her she'd see her tonight, she then picked Olivia up and carried her outside the office.
Across the hall, Cooper stepped out of the procedure room so he could give the child privacy to change when he saw Olivia being carried away.
He looked with sadness as the woman, whose face was covered by Olivia's head, carried the little girl away. He wanted to run up to them and introduce himself but he had a patient waiting.
Just as he was about to step back in, Olivia and her mother reached the elevator and she put Olivia down.
For a moment he thought his mind was deceiving him because that woman, Olivia's mother looked just like "Charlie" did. Her hair was longer but that a face he would never forget. And that WAS "Charlie" walking away with Olivia.
But before he could force his legs to move the elevator door was closing with Olivia and her mother inside...
