Olivia dried her eyes and tried to do what she could so it didn't look like she was crying but it was no use. There was no way to hide the red around her nose and her puffy eyes. She got out of the car, walked into the apartment building and climbed the two flights of steps to her apartment. She walked into the apartment and saw Casey feeding Ella and Dickie was at the kitchen table having a snack.

"Oh my gosh, Olivia what's wrong?"

"I think he just left me…"

"What do you mean he left you?"

Olivia explained everything to her from Kathy showing up, her getting kicked out of Lizzie's room, Brian showing up and proposing, to Elliot telling her to leave.

"Casey, I love him. I can't lose him, not again. I don't know what to do to show him how much I love him."


Back at the hospital, Lizzie was stirring in her sleep. They had finally got her settled down and she had slept for a good couple of hours. She laid there in bed stirring, some small noises escaping from her mouth, a few started to form words.

"Hmm, mommy…mommy, Mommy!"

Lizzie opened her eyes, looked at her father and began to cry for her mom.

"I want my mommy."

Kathy walked into the room and walked over to Lizzie.

"I'm right here Elizabeth, stop whining."

"Not you, where's Liviee?"

Elliot got up and walked over to his daughter, "Lizzie, Olivia had to go home and get some stuff done, she went to go check on Dickie and Ella, but I'm sure if we call her later she will come back for a little while."

"Don't worry Daddy, she'll be back."

"Why do you say that?"

"Liviee, told me that she would never leave me, that no one could pay her enough money to stay away from me," Lizzie said with a big grin across her face.

"Well, I guess you have this covered for a little while, I have to go pick up Eli and Sarah. Bye, Elliot. Bye, Elizabeth."


Olivia opened the door and was happy to see Kathleen and Maureen on the other side. She ushered them into the house and offered them a seat and something to drink.

"Thank you girls so much for coming, we need all the help we can get, how do you two feel about online shopping? You think you can handle it?"

"Don't worry Olivia we are professionals when it comes to online shopping."

"Okay, so you two are going to go online to stores and find everything we need for the three rooms and make sure it's in stock and you are going to watch Dickie and Ella. Casey and I are going to go get the paint and you'll call us once stuff is ready to get picked up from stores."

"Okay we got in under control."

Three hours and a few thousand dollars later, Casey and Olivia were hauling cans of paint and bags filled with everything that they would need to furnish the three rooms. They got everything into Olivia's apartment and found themselves with little space to walk. Casey and Olivia walked back into Olivia's office where the girls had set up their "work".

"Okay we are back; we'll each take a room to paint. Casey is going to go get pizza and then Casey and I will take over the painting. You girls are going to have to take Dickie and Ella out for a little while if the apartment starts to smell like paint fumes because it's not good for them."

"Deal," Kathleen and Maureen said in sync.

Olivia picked up Ella from the bouncer she was in and went to change her. She passed the room Lizzie had been staying in and saw that her favorite teddy bear was laying in her bed. Olivia knew she had to get it to Lizzie as soon as she could because Lizzie would be scared without it. She smiled softly to herself; she prayed that her plan would work.


Two hours passed since Kathy had left and Lizzie seemed to be a lot happier and less tense. He was sitting on the bed beside her playing Barbie's when an alarm went off on his phone.

He opened his phone and the alarm read:

2 hours till Dickie's

First Baseball Game

He couldn't let Dickie miss his first game because he knew his little boy wouldn't speak up about it. So he picked up the phone and called Casey.

"Hello."

"Hey Casey, its Elliot I need to ask you a huge favor."

"Elliot…I don't think I know an Elliot."

"Casey, please stop fooling around, this is important."

"Fine Elliot, what's up?"

"Would you be able to stay with Lizzie for a while, I don't want her to be alone and I just remembered Dickie's first baseball was tonight."

"I'll be right there; I'll bring Dickie and his gear with me. See you in a few."

"Thank you Casey."

Elliot hung up his cell phone and smiled to himself, he had some great friends.


Casey hung up her phone and looked up to see Olivia staring at her.

"What was that about?"

"You are going to stay with Lizzie while Elliot takes Dickie to his first baseball game."

"Really Casey because I'm pretty sure you said you would."

"Liv, you know Elliot would rather you be there and I bet if you two hadn't gotten into that fight today you would have been his first call."

"Fine, but you owe me."

"Don't worry, I'll be here with the girls painting," Casey said with a smirk.

"Thank you Casey, I guess I owe you."

Olivia let herself and Dickie into Elliot's apartment and looked around as Dickie got his baseball gear. She just stood there and looked at all the still unpacked boxes and smiled to herself.

"Got it Livie."

"Do you have everything?"

"Yes."

"Let me see. You're wearing your uniform? Yes you are. Cleats?"

"In my bag."

"Bat?"

"In my bag."

"Hat and glove?"

Dickie turned and ran for his bedroom. When he came back he had a hat on his head and his baseball glove in his hands. Olivia looked down at his and smiled.

"Okay, I think you have everything now, come on. You are just like your daddy."

It took practically no time to get to the hospital; there were barely any cars on the road. Olivia helped Dickie out of the car, and then grabbed his bag, and the bag she packed for herself and Lizzie. She held on tight to Dickie's hand so she wouldn't lose him through the crowds of people in the main part of the hospital. Before she knew it they were at Lizzie's door. They walked in and Elliot was no where to be found.

"Liviee! You're back."

"Of course, I am I told you I could stay away from you and I brought you a friend."

Olivia pulled out Lizzie's favorite teddy bear from the bag. Elliot stood in the doorway and watched as she walked over and gave it to her.

"Thank you Liviee."

"You are welcome, baby. So what do you have planned for us tonight?"

"Daddy said I have to rest."

"Okay, so how about I lay with you and we can watch movies."

Lizzie nodded her head happily and reached for Olivia. Olivia took her in her embrace.

"I missed you Mommy."

It broke Olivia's heart to hear, the little girl call her mommy. She wished for that to be true, more than anything in the world. Elliot smiled at the thought of his daughter calling Olivia mommy, he just hoped she didn't hate him too much.

"Hey Dickie, how about we go play some baseball."

"Hey Dad, yeah let's go!"

Olivia wiped away the few tears that held fell from her eyes when Lizzie called her mommy, then turned to face Elliot.

"Okay buddy, how about you wait here with your sister while I go talk to Olivia real quick and then we can leave."

Once they were outside the room, Elliot reached for her but Olivia pulled away.

"Liv, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have yelled at you, I should have trusted and believed you. I'm sorry."

"Don't El, just don't. I don't want to hear it. You knew how much I loved you, why on earth would you ever think I would go and marry another man. You knew how much I care about you and the kids but you still didn't think twice before you accused me of cheating. I can't talk to you now. Just go, you guys shouldn't be late."

"But Liv—"

Before he could continue, she cut him off.

"Don't El, just leave it. You said more than enough before."

Before he could say anything else, she turned away and walked into Lizzie's room.

"Dickie, come here and give me a hug. Your dad is waiting for you in the hallway, good luck tonight."

"Thanks Livie."
