Please review! Love you all!
"Elliot!" Olivia yelled from the couch. She was now six months pregnant and she was really liking it except for her crazy cravings and sudden heat flashes.
Elliot came out of the nursery to check on Olivia. He kissed her head. "Yes baby?" He leaned against the back of the couch in his sweatshirt and hat. It was only fifty-two degrees in the apartment and if he turned on the heat Olivia went crazy.
"Are you almost done in there? I want to see it with in the next year." Olivia asked chuckling.
Elliot smiled. "I'm just about done. I'm finishing up the crib. By the time you get up, I should be done."
Olivia smacked his chest. "You so funny." She smiled sarcastically.
"I was kidding. I actually just finished. So, let us go see." Elliot smiled holding out his hand to her.
Olivia took it and Elliot helped her off the couch. Elliot covered her eyes with his hands and guided her to the nursery. "You ready?"
"What have I been saying for the past three days?" Olivia asked chuckling.
Elliot laughed and uncovered her eyes. Olivia gasped when she saw the room. The blue walls looked great with the wooden floor. The changing table was set up in the corner with a blue rug in front of it. There was a wooden rocking chair that Joe built in the other corner closer to the window.
The crib matched the hard wood floors and rocking chair. The mattress was covered with a blue train sheet. There was a blue ducky blanket that Rebecca and Sarah got for the baby. Above the crib was framed cloth that Bernie gave them. She stitched Richard on it in dark blue letters. There was also a train and a football on it.
Right next to the crib was the closet. It was filled with little baby boy clothes that, surprisingly, Joe Jr. and Scott got for Richard. They came over and built more shelves in the closet. There was a toy box in the corner of the closet that they would use when Richard got older.
Olivia was so happy, plus all the hormones running through her system, that she started tearing up. "I love it." Olivia whispered looking at Elliot.
Elliot smiled and wiped away her tears. "Good, I bet Dickie will like it too." Elliot kissed her stomach and put his hand there to feel Dickie move. "He's a little acrobat."
"I know. Hey, maybe he'll be good at basketball." Olivia chuckled. "I love you."
"I love you too, Liv. So much sometimes I have to pinch myself to make sure it's real." Elliot smiled.
"Well, I'll always be here. You don't have to doubt that, ever." Olivia smiled and kissed him. "Hey, aren't your parents coming over tonight for dinner?"
"Yeah, my mom is bringing roast beef, I think." Elliot said.
Olivia chuckled. "I better call and ask."
Olivia walked into the kitchen with Elliot following. Olivia grabbed the phone while Elliot went to the fridge and grabbed a chicken wing. Olivia coughed. "Elliot, at least heat that up before you eat it."
Elliot squinted his eyes. "Why?" He bit into the chicken and smirked as Olivia stuck out her tongue in disgust.
"Our kids are never watching you eat. EVER!" Olivia said putting the phone to her ear. After two rings, Joe picked up the phone. "Hey Joe!
"Hey Livvie Bear! How are you?" Joe asked.
"I'm doing okay? You?" Olivia asked.
"I'm doing okay as well. What's up?" Joe asked.
"Well, Elliot forgot and I was wondering what Bernie was bringing tonight for dinner." Olivia said sitting down at one of the bar stools.
"Uh, I'll ask hold on." Joe said. A moment later, he came back to the phone. "She said we're bringing roast beef. She wants to know what time to come over."
"Uh, five thirty should be fine. Lately, we've been going to bed earlier and earlier. Pregnancy takes a toll on your energy." Olivia chuckled.
"I bet. I remember Bernie. She was crabby all the time. She was always blaming me for everything that happened. Eh, what are you going to do now?" Joe asked.
Olivia laughed. "Thanks Joe. I'm sure Elliot would be happy to know that his wife is pretty normal for a pregnant woman. We'll see you in a couple of hours."
"Yep, see ya." Joe chuckled before hanging up.
Olivia turned to find Elliot biting off the last remains of chicken on the bone. Olivia gagged. "EW! Elliot!" Olivia yelled.
"What?" Elliot asked innocently. A peice of chicken that was on his face fell off when he asked the question.
Olivia couldn't help it. She laughed and left the room. "Get a bib!" Olivia yelled to him from the living room.
A few hours later, Joe and Bernie showed up. Elliot was helping Olivia make dinner in the kitchen. Elliot grabbed plates from the cabinet and started setting the table. Olivia started grabbing bowls of food and set them on the divider for Elliot to put on the table.
"I see you have a helper." Bernie said to Olivia.
"Yeah, he always does that. Didn't he help you growing up?" Olivia asked.
"I was lucky if he came home with clean clothes. He's never set the table before unless he's grounded. You're changing him." Bernie smiled.
Olivia smiled back. "Well, you're son is changing me too. What can I say? I love your son more than anything."
"I know you do dear." Bernie said patting her back. "Hey, how's my grandson?"
"He's a little acrobat. Dickie won't stop moving. The only time he does is when I'm asleep which is good for me." Olivia smiled putting a hand protectively on her stomach.
Bernie put her hand on Olivia's stomach. "Wow! He really is moving. Joe come feel your grandson."
Joe came over and smiled as he put his hand on Olivia's stomach, replacing Bernie's. "Holy cow! Doesn't that hurt?" Joe asked.
"Only if he kicks really hard. Otherwise, it's kind of comforting." Olivia sighed contently. She smiled when she felt Elliot's arms wrap around her.
"I love fawning over my wife like you two are right now, but I'm starving and we have a table of food five feet away." Elliot smiled.
Olivia laughed. "Let's go eat. I'm hungry too."
All four of them ate and made small talk. Elliot kept his left arm on Olivia's chair throughout the meal. After dinner, Bernie and Olivia washed the dishes while Elliot and Joe were looking at the nursery.
Joe and Bernie left soon after that. Olivia plopped onto the couch and turned on the TV. Elliot sat down beside her with a heavy sigh. "I'm exhausted."
"Me too." Olivia yawned. "Woah, calm down there Dickie."
"What'd he do?" Elliot asked.
"He kicked my bladder. I have to pee now." Olivia chuckled jogging to the bathroom.
Elliot chuckled. And to think that I get her forever is unbelievable. Elliot turned back to the TV to find that Olivia had turned it to a new show called The Nanny. Olivia had started getting into this show. She said that Fran and Mr. Sheffield were meant to be together forever.
Elliot started getting into it as the show went on. Pretty soon, Olivia came out of the bathroom and sat back down on the couch. She smiled when she saw Elliot's face. "I told you it's a good show."
"Well, I hadn't watched it then. Now, I am and I agree with you." Elliot smiled kissing her nose and turning back to the TV.
