The
knocking on the door awoke Elliot. It was Sunday his day off and he
wasn't in the mood to be up early. "Dad! Get up you have a
visitor." Maureen said while walking back to the kitchen.
Dragging on a shirt Elliot realized it was already 2:30 in the
afternoon. Stepping into his bathroom he brushed his teeth and washed
his face. Picking up his cell-phone from beneath his pillow he turned
it on. Finallly he walked out the meet the day, but he hadn't
expected to she Mark or Victoria.
"Hey there." Victoria
said as Elliot walked into the dinning area.
"Hi, what up?"
Elliot asked. Not sure what to say, as he took his chair which was
situated next to her.
"I'm fine" she responded enjoying
the meal Maureen had
prepared.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Olivia
fed Eli his dinner and they played together a game of hide and seek.
Eli was laughing and for a moment she forgot that he wasn't well.
"Mommy!" he screamed running to her as he found her behind
the counter.
"Yea you found me." she said and scooped
him into her arms. "Okay so want to go for a walk?" she
asked setting him on his feet.
"No, I wish Daddy was here"
he said climbing into Olivia lap as she laid on the couch.
"Yea,
you want me to call him then you could talk with" she said
already reaching phone. Eli nodded his response and started running
little fingers through her hair.
The phone rang without answer and
she dialled again but without success. "Hey baby they aren't
home, want to go get some ice-cream?" she asked noticing the
sadness that touched his eyes.
"No can't we just watch
cartoon?" he asked holding onto her hand.
"Ok sure,"
she replied. Turning on the television set and trying to find cartoon
network.
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Elliot
hadn't laughed that much since Kathy's death and as he walked
Victoria to her door, he wondered what Olivia would think?
"We
should do this agian, I enjoyed myself." Victoria said and peck
him on the cheek. Elliot smiled he liked that she was so forward
plus, didn;t Olivia say that he should move on.
"I would love
that, how about tomorrow at eight?" Elliot asked. She smiled and
her eyes gave her answer and she slipped inside.
Elliot reached
home with a smile on his lips and he laid on his beds and was
drifting off to sleep when the rang. "Hello"
"Elliot
is everything alright I've been worried sick?"
Olivia confessed when he answered.
"Everything is fine, I
just went out. Is eveything alright with Eli?" he asked.
"He
wanted to talk to you and I called but you weren't there"
Olviia said yawning.
"I will call you before I leave for work
in the morning" Elliot said
"El,
I get the feeling something has changed, what's going on are the kids
alright?"
Olivia asked concerned about her friend.
"No, how are you?"
he asked.
"I'm
fine just tired Eli and I played hide and seek. He's great at it. But
he really misses you. I'm wondering how the next weeks are going to
go. When are you coming?" she
asked not willing to confess that she missed him too.
"The
25th of June that's two days before the surgery" Elliot
said.
"Okay
night El keep safe and tell the guys hi for me"
"Ok night girl, be good" Elliot said and hung up the
receiver.
