They are in the new house and they now have full custody of Megan

Elliot walked into Rachels room after Olivia fell asleep on the couch . He knocked and entered after he got the ok.

"Hey dad"

"Hey sweetheart, what you up to?" he asked

"I'm on AIM with Tommy and Tiffany"

"Sounds fun, hey do you have anything planned for tomorrow?" he asked

"Not as of yet but you know how the guys love to drop by on the weekends." she finished with a laugh

"Well don't plan anything just yet I need your help with something."

She looked at him with a confused look and simply nodded

"You'll find out tomorrow" he said

"Your scaring me dad is everything ok?"

"Its fine I just can't risk telling you" he said kissing her forehead as he left. When he left she was left in her own thoughts. She suddenly gasped and ran to get the phone to call Tiffany.

The next day Olivia had left and took Megan to the zoo. Elliot had told her he had to go into work so she would have to go alone. Rachel had told her she was going to Tiffanys and nobody expected anything.

While Olivia was at the zoo Megan was admiring the lions. They had been in that same spot for nearly ten minutes and she wanted to move on.

"Megs there are a lot of animals that we haven't seen yet"

"I love the lions Liv" Megan said never looking away from the animals

"But don't you want to see the elephants?" Liv said trying to persuade the girl

"Can we come back to the lions?" Megan asked

"I guess that would be fine" Hearing this Megan ran off not too far in front of Liv. Liv just followed her and smile. Little did she know that Elliot was busy finding the perfect engagement ring

Meanwhile at the jewelery store Rachel and Elliot were searching through all the cases. They had seen a few choices but nothing stuck out. Rachel had been on the opposite side of the store when she dragged Elliot over to one of the cases pointing to one of the rings saying,"Thats the one , its perfect."

Elliot didn't say anything as he examine the ring. He raised his head and said,"Rachel you are so perfect right now" smiling and asking the clerk if they could see it.

"Do you know her size?"Rachel asked

" 7 " he said holding it.

"When are you going to ask her?"

"Well I haven't planned that far ahead, I though it would be nice to just do it when the time permits"

"No plan, thats cute dad"

"Do you think I should plan when?" he aske wanting to get it perfect

"No way girls love spontaneous things I think you should do it when she least expects and let her know that you care" Rachel said advising her father

"What about you are you ok with this?"

"Dad if it was up to me this would have already happend but all I have to say is I better be a bridesmaid" she finished with a laugh. Elliot laughed as they made their purchase.

Later that night Rachel had a hard time hiding her excitment. She was giddy and Olivia could tell. They were all eating when Olivia asked,"Rachel whats got you so happy?"

"Oh nothing really I think I just had too much ssugar today at Tiffanys we made cookies"she said .'Nice save' she thought

Olivia lauged and said"Well I hope your not up all night"

"Probably not I mean before you know I'll just crash"

"So was Tommy at Tiffanys?" Olivia asked

"No he went to Jersey with his dad fo a few days one of his buddies died and they had the funeral"

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that"Olivia said

"I'll let him know but what did you do today?" rachel said trying to change the subject

"Well me and Megs went to the zoo gosh that girl loves lions"

"I used to like the flamingos I think it was cause they were pink"Olivia laughed as she finished eating.

Later while Elliot and Olivia were snuggled under the covers Olivia waas rubbing her hand up and down his chest. He was about to fall asleep when Liv laughed.

"What?" he asked, groggy.

"I was just laughing cause of today you know I've never been to the zoo before"

"Oh baby I'm sorry" he said pulling her close

"I'm not," she said,"it mad today special but I would have loved to share that with you."

"I'm sorry baby, but I am glad you enjoyed yourself"

"I love when you do that" she said resting her head on his chest

"What?" he asked confused

"When you call me baby...or sweetheart or honey" she finished with a laugh

"Well you are you are my baby my sweetheart and my honey"

She smiled and continued to rub his chest.

"Do you think Megan likes living with us?" she asked

"I think she loves it I mean anyone would love living with you" he said,"I know I do"

She let out another giggle."I don't know why I never pick up after myself"

"I think thats sexy I love seeing your clothes all over our bathroom it reminds me everyday that you chose me" he said,"and nothing could be better than that feeling"

"Yeah well I love the fact that you let me wear your big T-shirts to bed just your smell makes me happy" she replied

"Baby I would give you all my clothes if it meant I got to spend another night with you" he said

"I love you"

"I love you too" he said kissing the crown of her head.

The next morning they woke up wrapped up in eachothers arms. Elliot was the first to wake up but instead of getting up he watched as Olivia slept. When she woke up she turned over and smiled " Hey there"

"Goodmorning beautiful"he said

"How long have you beenawake?"

"Not too long ,god you are gorgeous when you sleep."

"Why thank you " she said kissing his lips

"Mmm your welcome"

"Alright well I'll wake the kids while you take a shower we've got to be at work in an hour" she said with a laugh

"Why you laughing?' he asked confused

"Nothing except we are probably the only people in the world who wake up before their alarm clock even goes off" she said smiling

"One of the side effects of the job I guess" he said walking to the shower.

Olivia shrugged her shoulders and went to go wake the girls.
