Hey guys, This chapter is kind of weird, i'm trying to figure out what I want to do with this story. If you have any suggestions let me know, but i'm thinking of having it be a very long story. If there is anything you want to see let me know. Hope you guys enjoy!
Elliot woke up to the sunshine streaming in. He forgot at first that he was Liv's place, not being used to the guest bedroom. He got up and walked to the bathroom, splashing some water on his face. He stripped down and turned the water on, waiting for it to heat up. As he lathered his hair with soap he heard a knock at the door. "Hey El, can I pee really quick?" "yeah, door's open" She walked in, sitting down to do her business. "Seems like it's been forever since you've peed in front of me" " oh god El." She laughed. She washed her hands, hearing his soft whistling. She walked out to the kitchen, turning the stove on to prepare breakfast. Noah was watching cartoons, quiet for once.
After breakfast, they decided to go out and do something with Noah, considering he hadn't seen Elliot in years. "So buddy, are you excited for the animals?" "yeah" he said. "My favorite one is the giraffes" "really? Why is that?" "because they are cool, duuh" Liv laughed. "So, are you going to see anybody else while your down here?" Elliot thought for a moment. "Well, the captain is the only one still there from when I was. It would be nice to see him." He said. "Yeah, he'd really appreciate it if you stopped in i'm sure" she knew it was true. As they walked around Noah gawked at the animals, and enjoyed feeding them, as Liv and Elliot caught up.
At lunch, Noah sat drawing on his menu as Liv and Elliot giggled like they had so many years ago. " ha, and remember when I ran right into that pipe, oh my god I was stupid" They laughed and laughed, remembering their goofy past. That was the thing she missed most about him. With him around he always managed to make things fun. She didn't remember much of cases, or the serious times, she remembered the times he made her laugh, and made her feel better with all the stress going on. "So who is this new guy, Barba you say? I can't believe we were able to keep A DA that long." "yeah, he's a really great guy, I think you'd like him. He wasn't funny like you, but when I needed it he'd be there to be sure i'm okay. Of course other than that he was nothing like you" Elliot smiled. "It's okay, if he took my place. If you missed me enough a spot to be filled than it's ok. As long as you are happy i'm happy." Liv noticed how sincere he was, and couldn't help but blush a bit. "Thanks El, but trust me, nobody could ever take your place."
After lunch they decided to go see a movie. Jurassic park 3 was out, and Noah loved dinosaurs. They got their popcorn and then went in to find their seats. Liv laughed as Elliot and Noah had a contest to see who could get more popcorn in their mouth by throwing it up into the air and catching it. Once the movie began they relaxed into their seats. Elliot said with his arm protectively around Liv, and Noah next to her, cuddling into her arm. Elliot was happy. He felt like he was part of a family for the first time in a while. Without the team and without kathy and the kids he hadn't been part of a family in a long time. He sat there watching the movie and thinking about how lucky he was.
"Wow! That was awesome, thanks for taking me Mom and Elliot!" "of course buddy, glad you liked it" Elliot said. "So, who thinks ice cream is a good idea?" Liv gave Elliot a look as he said this, but still laughed. At the ice cream shop Noah took forever to pick his kind, then proceeded to spill it all on the floor while dancing around. "I'll go get you some more" she said. "No it's ok Liv, I'll get it" El said, standing up. Halfway through his cone, Noah had more on his face than he did in his tummy. "I think i'm done mommy" He said, getting full. "Haha, alright sweet boy, go put it in the garbage then." Liv and Elliot shared a laugh
Back at the house, they all sat down at the couch, enjoying some quiet time. With Noah fast asleep on her chest, Liv had to sit there until he was fast asleep to move him to his bed. While sitting there, Liv and Elliot's hands inched closer and closer every minute, not realizing it. At a certain point Elliot took her hand in his, realizing he didn't need to do this stupid inch closer shit. They had held hand before, it wasn't a big deal. But for some reason this time it felt different. Maybe it was just because they hadn't seen eachother in so long. Maybe...
