Chapter 9
The next morning, Olivia awoke to someone poking her in the eye. She knew it was James so she decided to mess with him. She rolled over causing him to fall off her stomach and onto the bed next to her. She heard him laughing. Then he began poking her again.
"What babe?" She asked with her eyes still closed.
"Wake up mommy, time beakfast." He said now rocking her.
She opened one eye and looked at him. "Time for breakfast?" She said.
He nodded his head, "Ya beakfast." He said smiling.
"What did you make me?" She asked smiling.
He looked down and then crawled out of her bed. "I make beakfast." He said running out of her bedroom.
She closed her eye then realized what he said; she jumped out of bed and ran downstairs to the kitchen to find him trying to open the fridge. "Baby, you want to make mommy breakfast?" She asked picking him up.
He nodded his head. "Ya James make beakfast." He said looking at her sideways like "duh!".
She smiled at him and put him in his chair. "Ok, what do you want for breakfast?" She asked going to the fridge.
"I no know. What mommy want?" He asked playing with his fingers.
"Umm mommy want eggs and bacon." She said smiling.
He started nodding his head frantically, "Bacon!" he yelled.
She started laughing then began cooking breakfast. After breakfast, she washed dishes and then took a shower and got dressed, then gave James a bath and got him dressed. She decided to take him shopping and get him some new clothes. Then she remembered she had to call Elliot and give him the directions.
"Hello?" She heard his voice through the phone.
She smiled. "Hi Elliot, this is Olivia." She said letting her identity be known.
"I know, I do have caller ID." He said laughing slightly.
"Oh, well I just wanted to make sure you knew who I was." She said a bit embarrassed.
He laughed. "Its ok, so what's going on?" He asked.
"Well you told me to call you today and give you my address." She said, thinking he forgot which disappointed her.
"Yea, well I thought you were going to call much later." He said.
She blushed a bit, "Oh sorry, well I can call back later." She said.
"Its fine, I was just thinking about you." He said smiling through the phone.
She smiled through the phone. "Awe really, well let me give you my address and I will see you tonight around what time?" She asked making sure he remembered.
"Seven, don't worry I remember" He said laughing.
She smiled, then gave him her address then told him she would see him later then hung up the phone. She left with James and went to buy him some clothes then went back home to cook dinner. Around 6:50, she heard a knock on the door, she quickly walked over and opened the door to reveal Elliot standing there smiling, with a bouquet of roses in his hand. She smiled and let him in. he came in and smiled giving her a warm hug and kissed her on the cheek.
She closed the door and James came running in the hallway. Elliot picked him up and tickled him. James began laughing hysterically. Elliot carried him into living room laughing with him.
Olivia was happy, her son finally accepted another man. He never liked any other man he met. For some reason though, he loved Elliot, maybe that is the sign, that her and Elliot belonged together.
She followed them into the living room and watched them. Then remembered she had to check on her food. After seeing that it was done. She called them both for dinner, they came in, and dinner began.
Everything went well; they ate, talked about random things such as work and what they both have been up too. After dinner, they went into the living room and James sat in between them on the couch falling asleep.
"You sleepy baby?" She asked looking down at him rubbing his eye.
He nodded his head yawning. "Sleepy." He said.
"Want mommy to put you to bed?" She asked sitting up.
He shook his head. "Want Elliot." He said reaching for Elliot.
"Is it ok?" Elliot asked looking at her. She smiled then nodded.
"Come on, Ill show you his room." She got up, Elliot picked up James, and they went into James bedroom upstairs. She stood outside the door as Elliot carried James in and put him to bed.
She listened to Elliot tell him goodnight, and then went back downstairs. When she got to the bottom of the staircase, someone knocked on her door. She opened it and there stood Terry smiling at her.
