El walked in quietly from his early morning store run, smiling when he saw Eli setting up the breakfast in bed tray while Noah finished waffles.

Nate quietly and happily picked at the little graze tray his brothers had made for him with one hand, and held Ellie's hand with the other.

The little ones were both on the counter, but instead of his usual position next to his brother and the waffle maker, Nate was closer to the island, next to the small table top bouncer they had their sister in.

"I dada," Nate whispered, holding a chocolate and berry covered finger up to his lips. "Shhh mama Eyyi seepin."

"Mama still asleep?" He asked, kissing his nose.

"Yeah she is it's a miracle," Noah teased and El smiled small. "Ellie had a bad night."

"Why?" Eli frowned.

"Just in that phase, it happens. Wanted her mommy," he smiled small.

"Wan mama too," Nate nodded in agreement, rubbing his sisters cheek.

"Woah your brothers got you to eat strawberries today?"

"Mhm!" Nate smiled. "Schoo, awange," he said, completely butchering the word orange as his brothers laughed.

"We told him orange and pips don't go together," Noah laughed and El nodded. "Definitely not."

"Should we let mama sleep longer?" Eli asked and Noah nodded. "I think so."

Ellie stirred then, her eyes opening as her her little lip folded into a pout.

"Eyyi awate," Nate announced, before leaning forward to place a gentle kiss to her head. "Sh Eyyi tay… dada an no an eyi an nate," he said proudly pointing to everyone as the little one looked up at him with bright blue eyes.

Eli looked towards Noah and nodded. "He's my favorite and I'm not sorry."

"I don't blame you at all," Noah nodded and El laughed. "Alright guys… let's go get momma I promise she's gonna be awake the moment she hears this girl."

With Ellie in one arm and Nate in the other with flowers, El followed the boys who carried the breakfast tray and presents.

Liv was still asleep, so the boys opted to set everything down and snuggle up with her instead.

El passed Ellie to Eli and Noah and Nate snuggled up into Liv's front while El spooned her from behind.

"Morning," he whispered as she came to from Nate gently rubbing her cheek.

"Hmmm good morning what time is it?" She whispered.

El breathed out a chuckle. "It's 8:30."

"No way," she sighed happily, subtly scooting backwards into him.

"Happy Mother's Day," Noah said with a big smile.

"Wuh mama," Nate smiled, snuggling into her chest.

"Happy Mother's Day, mom," Eli said from the other side of the bed with a smile.

She finally opened her eyes and blinked quickly at him. It was the first Mother's Day he'd spent with her, let alone calling her mom.

Clearing her throat quickly, she smiled. "Thanks boys… and my sweet baby girl," she smiled, sitting up as she looked over to Ellie who was snuggled into her brother's chest having drifted back off.

"Mama foo," he smiled nodding toward the tray.

"Code for Nate wants to eat," Noah giggled, getting up and bringing the food to her.

Sitting up with El, she gasped and snuggled into his side, examining the spread.

"Oh my… this is amazing, guys!"

"Eli did it all I mean I made the waffles," Noah clarified, "but."

"It's perfect baby… thank you so much," Liv smiled, kissing Noah's head and then taking a sip of her coffee.

They dug in, and once they were finished, Eli handed her Ellie and Noah jumped up to get her the gifts they'd bought her.

The first was a ring with the younger four's names and birthstones, and the second was a bar necklace with all 8's first initials.

"Oh my… this is amazing… thank you," she whispered, tearing up and kissing all of their heads.

"Mama yike it?" Nate asked, snuggling into her.

"Oh baby I love it," she whispered, kissing his cheek. "Thank you boys so much," she said, pulling them in for cuddles. "And thank you baby girl," she whispered to Ellie who was just waking up against her.

"Mom can we watch a movie in here? Before soccer?" Noah asked and she laughed and nodded. "Extra cuddles with my babies? Yes please."

"Eyi I come?" Nate asked hopefully.

Eli was coaching Noah's soccer team now cause they had practice on different days.

"Sure buddy," Eli smiled, and Nate gasped and grinned. "But you gotta nap first okay?"

"Tay," he nodded, snuggling into Liv and making Elliot chuckle.

"Why the heck did you guys schedule practice on Mother's Day anyways?" He asked.

"The grind never stops dad," Noah said, obviously, making Liv stifle her laugh as to not startle Ellie.

"Duh dad," Liv agreed.

He nudged her playfully and nodded. "Just make sure you're back before 6 for dinner with the family okay?"

"Got it," they all nodded together.

"Daddy can you get baby girl a bottle please?" Liv asked, batting her eyes at her husband.

"Course," he chuckled kissing her.

They all took a pretty decent nap, waking when Ellie whined to eat again and the boys needed to get ready to go.

El took Ellie to change her and get her fed, and Liv brought Nate to get changed.

"No mama dis one," he said, pointing to different pair of joggers than the ones she grabbed once he saw Eli walk by in ones that matched his request.

She laughed softly and switched them, getting him changed as he scanned the room for his bucket hat that also matched Eli's.

"In your closet buddy," she said and he nodded happily, letting her put on his sneakers.

Chuckling softly to herself, she took note of how grown he looked, especially when he was styled by his brothers, but also how little he still was with his Velcro running shoes.

"Mama up," he asked, holding his arms up to her.

"You okay?" She asked, kissing his cheek.

He nodded. "Wuh mama."

"Love you baby… you can stay home with me and daddy, you know."

"Yah mama know," he nodded.

"Ready buddy," Eli asked, coming in and immediately distracting the younger. "Yah!!!" He grinned, reaching for him.

Liv handed over the little one and then grabbed his hat and put it on his head.

"Tanks mama," he smiled, leaning forward for a smooch.

"You're welcome baby. Be good and listen to Eli okay? And stay with him," she warned and he nodded. "Tay mama."

"I got him," Eli said, pecking her cheek.

"I know… have fun okay?"

"We will, might stop by the cemetery later on the way home. Would that be okay?"

"Whatever you need honey."

"Thanks mom," he nodded.

"Good luck today baby," Liv said, lifting Noah as best as she could and making him giggle.

"See you tonight mommy," he smiled, hugging her tightly.

Eli grabbed his cooler and bag and, waved to his mom, taking the boys outside.

Liv was rinsing Ellie's bottles from the morning when she heard Elliot enter the kitchen.

"They're gone and baby girl is asleep," came El's gruff voice from behind her.

"Oh???" She smiled, turning.

"Mhmmm…" he said, resting his hands on her hips and dipping his head to kiss her neck slowly. "I think you should be celebrated," he said, pulling her close to him.

She found his lips and followed his lead as he walked them backwards to the nearest surface, which happened to be the kitchen table.

"Bed," she directed, "all kids will be here tonight," she reminded him, and he chuckled and nodded. "That's fair."

They moved into their room, collapsing on the bed and glancing at their baby girls monitor to confirm she was still peacefully sleeping.

Scooting back on the bed, she smiled when he followed her, covering her body with his own and kissing her slowly.

"God I love you…" he whispered, moving from her mouth down her jaw and to her neck, biting softly. "I love watching you be a mom," he said, rolling his hips into hers and smiling when she moaned in response, her hands flying to his waistband.

"It's all I ever wanted… I just knew you'd be the best mom," he said as he peppered kissed across her jaw and to the other side of her face.

He lifted his hips for her so she could slide down his sweats, paying special attention to her pulse point and making her moan loud and low.

"Take your pants off," he whispered after he'd reached her other ear while she stroked him firmly.

After doing as she was told, he reached between them to grip himself, sliding his head through her wet folders before pushing in.

She writhed and moaned between him as he thrusted firmly and found her lips again, dueling with them in heated and passionate kisses that made her toes curl and her body shiver.

Forcing her eyes open when she felt his on her, they filled with tears when she saw how much emotion were in his. "You're incredible…" he whispered, moaning as her eyes rolled back and she came with a loud gasp and cry.

"Unnnggh fuck, Olivia," he grunted into her mouth as he spilled into her still clenching wetness.

He collapsed on top of her and rolled them to the side, pulling her flush to him.

"When did you put the idea in Nate's head to go with the boys?" She whispered, satiated and sleepy.

"Eli's doing actually," he said, pressing a kiss to her forehead and pulling blankets over them.

"Can we sabotage his scholarship so he never leaves us?" She teased softly, drifting off.

"Say less."

The house was chaotic, like it always was when everyone got together, and Liv watched with joy as Elliot chased their grandkids around with Noah and Nate in tow; watched Eli sit with Dickie and Ellie, talking presumably about how she was never going to date- ever; watched her older daughters talk and laugh with her mother in law who had become more of a mother than her own ever was.

Empty pizza boxes scattered the table, along with a few empty wine bottles, and she watched her oldest girls and daughter in law show off all the things their husbands and kids had given them.

She was zoned in on the soft and knowing smile Bernie was giving her when Dickie's hand on her shoulder startled her a bit.

"Sorry," he chuckled. "We uh… we got you something," he said, motioning to his sisters before handing her a box that was similar to one she got from her littles earlier in the day.

The girls watched intently as she opened her gift, every one of them tearing up when she pulled out a ring that matched one with the little's birthstones and names- except this one had the big kid's.

"Guys," she breathed out, trying to not burst into tears.

"You're so much like a mom to us… so we wanted you to have a little something."

"Thank you," she gasped, looking up at them and finally letting her tears go.

They all stood to hug her tightly and Dickie shook his head. "No, Liv… thank you."
