Olivia struggled to wake up, blinking away her peaceful dreams. She tried to sit up, knowing that she needed to help the kids finish the unpacking, but Elliot's strong arm kept her firmly in place.
"Where do you think you're going?" he mumbled still half-asleep.
"Well, if you'd let me up, I'm going to go help the kids unpack. It's not fair to make them unpack everything. Besides, it's already…" she trailed of looking at the clock. "Jesus, it's already 5:00! We slept the entire afternoon away!" She struggled once again to sit up, but he didn't release her.
He laughed at her efforts, "Liv, Baby, relax. The kids came in here a while ago and I sent them out to the movies and gave them money for dinner. We have the house to ourselves."
"We still need to finish unpacking. I don't want to be living out of boxes."
"It's done."
"What?"
"You, the girls, and Eli did most of it while Dickie and I moved furniture."
"But, what about the rest? There was still all of Eli's stuff, all the DVD's, and a bunch of other stuff. I just want to finish today, so will you please let me up?"
"No."
"Ellll," she whined. "Come on."
"I told you it's done. The kids finished while we were sleeping."
"All of it?" she sounded doubtful.
"Well, there are five of them," he chortled.
"Seriously, we're officially moved in?"
"Yes, Baby. We're officially moved in."
"Wow," she sighed. "I finally have a home," she whispered to herself.
"What was that, Liv? I couldn't quite here you."
She turned in his arms, so that she was looking at him, "I said that I finally have a home."
"What do you mean?" he looked incredibly confused. "You had your apartment."
She shook her head, "That was just a place to live. This is the first time I've had a home."
"I still don't get it."
She sighed, "I've always had a place to live, but I always just existed. I avoided going to my apartment at all costs. Basically, I went there when I needed to sleep and I could do that in the cribs, so really my apartment was just a mailing address. Now, I have a home, a place I want to come back to, with a man I love more than I ever thought possible, his five amazing kids, and a baby on the way. I never thought I'd be this lucky."
He looked at her and wiped away the stray tear that was trailing down her face. "You're wrong," he stated simply.
She looked at him, completely shocked, "What?"
"You're wrong," he stated again, but this time he offered an explanation as well, "I'm the lucky one. I'm engaged to the most amazing woman in the world. She's smart, gorgeous, unbelievably compassionate, and to top it all off, she's marrying me," he said in disbelief. "We have five wonderful kids and another due in June, so I'm the lucky one because she hasn't realized that she deserves some one much better than me."
Her hands moved up to cup his face and tears flowed freely down hers, she brought his lips down to hers and kissed him deeply. Finally, she pulled away, "There isn't any one better out there, El, I love you."
He ran his hand through her hair, "I love you too, Liv, so much." They kissed again, this kiss carrying more meaning than even their first one had. This kiss proved that they were inseparable, destined to be together always, each other's one true love.
