A/N: Again, I wasn't quite sure how to do this one, but I'm slightly happy with how it turned out. Enjoy! :)

P.S. - HAPPY NEW YEAR! 2009, can you believe it?

After he left Kathy and her lover in the house, Elliot drove all around town, he went to a florist on almost every street, looking for the perfect bouquet. It didn't take him long to find what he was looking for.

It was a variety of selectively bred tulips with dashing reds, oranges, and yellows. Several large red roses were placed strategically in the bouquet. Around them there were small buds of unbloomed flowers and baby's breath.

He smiled when he spotted it. He pulled it out and brought it to the counter. After he bought the beautiful bouquet, he drove to Olivia's apartment.

He let himself in with a key she'd given him. The apartment was filled with a glowing orange light as he entered silently. The apartment was quiet and still.

"She must be still sleeping," he whispered to himself.

He put the flowers in a dark red vase with water and placed the vase on the middle of her table. Then he proceeded to the kitchen.

He put a skillet on the stove and started making breakfast.

Olivia yawned and stretched, sprawling herself across the bed. She could smell the breakfast Elliot was making and her mouth salivated as her stomach rumbled. She was already thirteen weeks pregnant and was craving all sorts of foods. Not just weird "pregnant-cravings", but actual real food, too.

She pulled herself out of bed and put a small, satin silk robe on over the lacy underwear she was sleeping in.

"That. Smells. Fantastic," Olivia cooed as she walked into the kitchen. She hopped up onto the counter next to Elliot and kissed him sweetly. She already had a significantly sized baby bump.

"You still like your eggs over easy?" he asked her, smiling broadly.

"And my coffee with cream." She smiled as she picked up the coffee pot next to her and poured herself a glass and added cream.

What I'd give to bring you flowers.
What I'd give to get you alone.
What I'd give to bring a smile across your face.
What I'd give to take you home.
What I'd give to make you coffee.
Find out how you like your eggs.
Wrapped around you in the mornin'.
A tangled lace of arms and legs.

"So, how did it go with Kathy?" she asked nervously and sipped her coffee.

Elliot smiled sadly. "She's agreed..."

"Did something happen? You look upset."

"I walked in on her."

"With somebody?" she asked, shocked.

Elliot nodded.

"I'm sorry, baby," she whispered to him. "But it's okay. You're my boy now." She smiled playfully at him and kissed him sweetly.

He smiled back. "What'd I'd give to have you for forever and for always."

What I'd give to let you love me.
Find out everything that brings you joy.
Wake up to your face above me.
I'd be that girl and you could be that boy.
Find out why that feelin' is...
Oh, what I'd give. What I'd give.

"You don't have to give a thing, except your love. Give me that and I will be yours. For forever and for always." She smiled at him and put one arm around his neck, one on her stomach. "Now, me and this baby are starving."

"Coming right up," Elliot said, flipping the eggs onto a plate with cut fruit and toast.

"Mmmm," Olivia sighed as she took the plate from him. She hopped off the counter and sat down at the table. She took several bites before she noticed the large bouquet in the center of the table.

"What's this?" she exclaimed excitedly, picking up the flowers and inhaling their sent.

He turned to looked at her and smiled. "I got you flowers."

"Why?"

"Can't a guy buy you flowers without a reason? Just because he loves you?"

She smiled thankfully at him. "Thank you."

He smiled and turned around again to make his breakfast and Olivia sat back down to eat hers.

When Elliot sat down next to Olivia at the table, she was almost finished with her breakfast.

"You guys were hungry," he chuckled and took a bite of eggs.

She smiled and blushed a little.

"Say? Do want to go dancing tonight?"

She looked at him questioningly for a moment. "Okay. Yeah, sounds fun," she smiled.

"First, I'm gonna need to pick up the papers."

Olivia smiled weakly. "It's okay, baby. We're better this way."

"I know."

What I'd give to take you dancin'.
What I'd give to make you mine.
If you got questions, I got answers.
And my answer's "yes" to you every time.
What I'd give for just one minute.
What I'd give to count all the ways
If your heart was dark with nothing in it.
I'd give you mine and take your place.

"Come on," Olivia said, pulling him away from the table. "Let's go out and do something fun."

He smiled. "You're not even dressed, mama."

She dragged him into the bedroom. "Help me then, daddy," she whispered, dropping the satin silk robe from her shoulders. It fell around her ankles.

Elliot smiled and stepped closer to her, grabbing her waist and pulling her close. Her small baby bump hit his pelvis. He looked down.

Bending down, he put both his hands on her stomach. "Hey there, little fella." He kissed her stomach gently.

"Now come up here and kiss me like that," Olivia pulled on Elliot's tie, pulling him up to her face. He looked down slightly at her because she was shorter than him.

He smiled and leaned down, kissing her gently.
