Luckly she hadn't forgotten his address, it was down the street from her favorite park to vist when she was a kid. Yes she did have some happy memories from her childhood. On the rare occasion that her mother wasn't drunk, she would take Olivia to the park, or to see a movie. Olivia was terrified of becoming her mother, and scaring her child for life. She always told herself if she ever had a kid, that they would know they were loved, no matter what. But what if she wasn't a good mom? What if something went wrong? She was so worried that when she got outside, she just stood there for a few moments. "Are you alright ma'am?" A neighbor asked while entering the building. The words snapped her out of her daze, "Yeah I'm okay, thank you."
She got into her car, and drove to his apartment about 5 blocks away. When she reached his front door, apartment 16-C, she hesitated to knock. Not wanting to stall anymore, she raised her hand sending 4 sharp knocks to the door. When it opened, after what seemed like years, she came face to face with the person who's child she is carrying... "Uh... Olivia... what are you doing here?" Olivia didn't see the point in small talk or beating around the bush. "I'm pregnant, Elliot."
He just looked at her. What did she just say? Did she just say she's pregnant? "Wh- What? You're pregnant? H- How? Didn't we...?" He trailed off. How could this have happened? He's 27, He already had a 3 year old daughter. Maureen, was a handful, she always wanted to be with Elliot, but Elliot's job was so demanding, that she had to spend most of the time with her mother, and her mothers boyfriend. He could have sworn that him and Olivia used protection. How could this have happened again. "We did, but condoms don't always work." Olivia siad. She was so embarrassed. She knew coming here was a mistake. But she had to tell him. If she hadn't she knew she would regret it. She couldn't do that to her child, and Elliot had the right to know.
Elliot was still in shock. How could he have made the same mistake? He didn't even know her, just her name. Another one night stand where it resulted in making a child. Wait, he only knew her name, how did he know if it was his? He did the most stupid thing he could do at the moment, and thought out loud. "How do you know it's mine, who else have you had sex with recently?" The look on her face was one of pure shock and anger. She was not going to practically be called a whore on the door step of the guy how had knocked her up less that two months ago. "Yes I'm sure. You are the only person I've slept with in 4 months. I don't know about you, but I don't make it a habit to have one night stands. And for your information, you were the first, and only, person I've had a one knight stand with. So yes Elliot I'm very sure you are the father." She was nearly screaming by the end. How could he just assume things about her, things like that. "Okay, okay. Look, just come inside and we can go over everything." He suggested. She thought for a second, the nodded.
He offered her a drink, but she insisted she was fine. "Okay, so, um... is this your first kid?' He asked her. "Yeah, it is, is it your first? Ya know, kid I mean." She was extreamly nervous, what if he wanted her to get an abortion because he wasn't ready to be a father. "Um, No. Actually, I have a 3 year old daughter. Her name's Maureen." He said truthfuly. "Oh, well, I'm sure she's great. So um, are you, well ya know, active in her life?" She said awkwardly. "When I can be, I have a very demanding job. I hate that she's with her mother all the time, and it kills me to say bye to her after our weekends. But, yes, I'm active in her life." He didn't know why he told her all of that, maybe it was because it's been building up for a while, or maybe it was because she's so beautiful. 'Wow, Where did that come from?' He thought. Though he was obviously attracted to her, he did sleep with her. "If you want to be active in this child's life, I wont stop you. But if you're not interested in being apart of his or her life, tell me right now. I dont want to invest my time in someone who is just gonna walk out on my child's life. It's your choice Elliot, and I wont blame you if you don't want to be ther for it..." She rambled on. "Wow, wow 'Livia, I want to be there for him or her, and you. Look we both decided to sleep together, part of both of us is growing in there," He pointed to her stomach. "and if you like it your you don't, what's done is done. I'll own up to my actions, and I will support that kid and I will be as involved as you'll let me be." He told her. He wanted to be apart of his childs life. "By the way, you sound like a momma bear already." she laughed at his attempt to lighten the mood. They settled a time to meet tomorrow to sort everything out, and she left. On her drive home she thought about her mom, her childhood, and her child. Her child.
