A/N: Is everyone enjoying the story so far? I'm going to attempt to make my chapters longer after this one if I can without giving too much away! In this story I'm going to have Noah down as a three year old. I've moved things up a bit as she obviously doesn't get Noah till season 15.

Chapter 5:

The following morning Olivia and noticed that she was finding it hard to move. Once looking down she noticed it was Elliot's arm around her waist. She smiled to herself and took a deep breath as she reluctantly untangled herself from his arms. She had to pick Noah up this morning and decided she'd leave Elliot to sleep in whilst she went to get him. Once picking her clothes out she walked slowly to the Bathroom to get ready. She was really nervous about today because she had no idea how Noah would react to seeing him. Would he like him? Would he hate him? She realised she that the only male figure Noah had in his life was Brian and although he barely seen him it may confuse him. She was going to do anything in her power to make sure the two got along. She sighed and left a note for Elliot to warn him where she'd went. She made her way to Caseys and parked up quickly and walked into Casey's place. She was eager to get back home to Elliot. She walked through to the living room and straight away Noah waddled over to her and wrapped his arms around her. 'Mama!'

''Oh baby boy I've missed you so much! You ready to go? Mummy has a friend for you to meet!'' He nodded and she smiled down at him and took his hand. ''Thank you so much for having him Case. I know he was only supposed to be staying one night instead of two but a lot has happened. I'll explain that to you a different day though.''

''He was no trouble at all. I had fun and you know I will have him whenever you need me too. I'll ring you through the week to arrange to meet for lunch''


Once back Olivia unbuckled Noah from his car seat and picked him up. She grabbed his bag before locking the car and making her way inside with Noah. Once she walked in Elliot got up from the sofa and made his way over to the two. She smiled ''Elliot this is Noah and Noah this is Elliot. Can you say hi to him Noah?'' He looked up and waved instead of speaking before burying his face back into his mother's neck. 'He's a little shy. Why don't you take him through to the front room to play whilst I make breakfast? It'll give you a chance to earn his trust a little' She passes Noah over to Elliot and watches as he walks into the front room talking to him. 'I could definitely get used to this. He is a natural' she thinks as she makes her way into the kitchen. She opens up her fridge and gets out the eggs, sausages and bacon. As she's making breakfast she can hear little giggles coming from the front room from both Elliot and Noah. She's so happy that Noah has taken to Elliot so easily. She'd been with Brian for months and Noah had never taken to him very well. He'd cling to her and wouldn't stay in a room on his own with Brian. She laughed at the thought and reached up to get 2 plates out and Noah's little plate. She split the breakfast onto the plates giving Noah a smaller amount than her and Elliot. She added toast to the side and turned to Noah's plate to cut up everything into small pieces. She turned to the table and placed the plates onto it and put Noah's plate on his highchair. ''Breakfasts ready!'' Elliot instantly came in with Noah and watched as Olivia went to take Noah from him to put in his highchair. He shook his head and smiled as he put Noah in himself.

''I forgot how tiring it was having a kid his age. He runs about everywhere!'' He laughs and tickles Noah and is rewarded from a laugh from the little boy.

'It's certainly tiring but I wouldn't change it for the world. I'm honestly glad he's took to you so well. I was worried for a while how he would react when meeting you but you guys seem just fine.' She smiles as she finishes her breakfast. She watches as Noah yawns. 'Looks like he's tired so I'll go put him down and we can go out and watch tv?' Elliot nods at her and starts cleaning the kitchen as Olivia goes to put Noah down for a nap. They both meet back in the living room and make their way to the couch. She turns to him ''I've loved having you here El. The past three days have been the best for me. I really don't want it to end..I guess what I'm trying to ask is when you're leaving us to go home?''

''I don't know Liv. I'm finally starting to feel better and I'm worried that the minute I go home it's all going to change. Plus I'd miss waking up with you in my arms way too much'' His eyes widened as he realised he said the last bit out loud.

''I'd miss that too El'' she laughs. She places her hand on his cheek and without thinking about it presses her lips to his. ''Shit El! I'm so sorry!'' she says as she looks down.

Elliot places a finger under her chin and forces her to look up at him. ''I'm not'' He pulls her back to him and places his hands on her waist as he leans forward claiming her lips. He instantly deepens the kiss as she snakes her hands up his chest and wraps them around his neck. He doesn't think he's ever been kissed with so much passion. They pull away after a few seconds. He'd never felt anything like this. ''I know we need to talk about what's just happened and we will but I just want you to know that I've wanted this for a really long time.''

She nods agreeing with him. She can't speak just yet. He's literally just taken her breath away. She dreads going back to work tomorrow.
