Review!!! (please)
Jake came back down the stairs and saw his fiancé Jennie sticking some final touches on the banner and decorations in the room, for Elliot and Olivia's homecoming. He smiled when he saw her look at him. She smiled back and went back fixing some decorations.
"Thanks for helping me Jennie." She turned and walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek.
"They are going to be my family soon too, I'm happy to help." He kissed her forehead and she went back to the decorations.
Jake checked his watch. They would arrive in a little under five minutes and he wanted to be the first to greet his brother after so many months. He also could not wait to be an uncle.
He heard his dad's truck pull in, "Jennie, they're here."
She squealed lightly, "Goody, I can't wait to meet them."
He smiled and waited at the door, with his arm around her waist.
The door opened and Elliot, Olivia, Bernie and Joe walked in. Jake came up a bear hugged Elliot. Jennie extended her hand to Olivia and she took it. "Hello, Olivia, I'm Jennie Whitler, Jake's fiancé."
"Oh yeah, it's nice to finally meet you." Olivia pulled her into a hug, gentle of her baby bump.
They smiled when they released. They all turned to Bernie and Joe. "Well, Jake, let's get all their stuff out of the truck."
"Aw, Dad come on, they just got here." Jake whined.
"And we live in New York City, let's go both of you." He pointed to the door, and Elliot and Jake followed his finger out the door.
Bernie, Jennie and Olivia laughed at their boys and walked into the living room. Olivia leaned back and sat gently on the recliner, she knew so well. Bernie on the loveseat and Jennie on the couch.
While the boys were pulling out boxes and bags from the truck and taking them upstairs to either Elliot's room, or Meredith's old room, that had been cleared out for the nursery Olivia and Elliot would need for their baby girl.
When the guys finished and returned to the living room, Joe sat next to Bernie, Jake enveloped Jennie, and Elliot sat on the arm of the recliner. They sat there under all the decorations and caught up on all the time they missed.
"How was Buffalo, guys?" Jake started.
"It was alright, we missed you guys too much." Olivia stated, before taking Elliot's hand.
He smiled and squeezed it lightly.
"Yeah, I'm glad you guys are back, I can't wait to be an uncle." Jake said, chuckling.
"I can't wait to be a father." Elliot said.
"I'm getting so used to the idea of being a grandparent." Bernie said chuckling being held by Joe.
Olivia smiled at the people she considered her family. She never could have imagined being so happy at this point in her life, but she was and she didn't want to feel anything else at the moment. This was happiness, if she had to describe happiness that is what she would tell you.
"Olivia?" Jake said loudly.
"What?" She asked, coming out of her daze.
"What were thinking about?" Bernie asked lightly.
"Family, and how I feel with you guys around. It has honestly been awhile since I have felt this good." Olivia said truthfully.
Bernie had a tear in her eye, as Olivia finished, and Joe looked emotional himself.
Jake smiled as did Jennie. Olivia squeezed Elliot's hand and he bent down to kiss her.
"Olivia, we would like you to stay permanently until you and Elliot are ready to move out on your own."
"Mr. Stabler, are you sure?" Olivia asked shocked at the statement Joe made.
"Yes, since your mother is gone, and you have no other known family. We would like you stay, as well considering you are having our grand child."
"Thank you Mr. Stabler, that means a lot to me." Olivia now had a tear in her eye, as she was finally accepted by a family.
She smiled back at her soon to be brother-in-law and fiancé, and the mother and father she always wanted.
