Please review! You guys are great! If you can, could one of you guys tell the name of the video on youtube where there's pictures of Elliot and Olivia to the song "Where'd You Go" by Fort Minor. Two of the pictures in the video are fake. I've been looking for it all day and I can't find it.
A cry woke Elliot and Olivia up. "She's hungry." Olivia moaned and got up.
"No, I'll bring her here." Elliot said and beat her to the door. Olivia went back to the bed while Elliot went into Summer's room. "Hey my little soldier. Do you know it's two in the morning? Yeah, did you know that?" Summer continued to cry as Elliot brought her to Olivia.
Olivia gently took Summer into her arms. "Hey Murmur, are you hungry?" Her question was answered soon after.
Elliot sat next to her and kissed her head. "You know, you can go back to sleep."
"I know. But, this is something I don't get to do very often." Elliot smiled. "You and our family are the most important things to me. I don't want to miss a minute with you."
Olivia smiled. "Well, I'm breast feeding our daughter. This isn't exactly the most exciting moment ever."
Elliot chuckled. "Any moment with you is worth being awake, even if it is just to watch you try not to fall asleep feeding out daughter."
Olivia smiled at him and kissed his nose. "I love you."
"I love you too, Liv." Elliot smiled wrapping his arm around her.
"Hey, your mother called and said that it's just going to be Joe watching the kids on Sunday when we have dinner." Olivia said thinking it was okay.
Elliot's eyes widened. "No."
"What?" Olivia asked.
"No." Elliot said again.
"Why not?" Olivia asked confused.
"I don't trust my dad with our kids alone." Elliot said not wanting to go into detail. It was okay if he was with another family member. Elliot didn't want his kids to be alone with the man that made most of his childhood hell.
Olivia got worried. "El, what happened?"
Elliot took a deep breath and looked down at his daughter. She was perfect. "He was a... he hit me." He watched Olivia's eyes widen. "Uh, he once whipped me with his belt when I was younger. Joe said that he also did it to him. Liv,... I will owe my dad forever for helping you when you were younger, but... I don't want him near our kids alone. I just don't trust it."
Olivia was crying at this point. "El, I had no idea. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Well, probably for the same reason you didn't tell anyone about your mother until I came along. It makes everything real. I was trying to be strong for you back then, and I didn't want you to feel uncomfortable around him when we lived there." Elliot explained. "Our kids... they're perfect. My dad loves them, but... I'm not letting them stay with him alone."
Olivia nodded and touched his cheek. "Okay, they won't... I can't believe he hurt you. You're too loveable."
Elliot smiled and kissed her nose. "Liv, you are more loveable than me and you got into the same boat. Just make me a promise. Make sure that I don't become anything like my father."
"I promise. Don't let me become my mom." Olivia demanded.
"I promise." Elliot whispered and kissed her on the lips. He looked down at his daughter and smiled. "You better make sure we keep our promises little missy."
Olivia chuckled and looked down at Summer. She rubbed her face with her little fists and yawned. "Is my baby girl tired? I bet. Mommy and Daddy are still tired."
"I'll go take her." Elliot offered already falling asleep in his sitting postition.
"I think I will. I don't need you falling with her in your arms." Olivia chuckled. She straightened herself out one-handed and walked down to Summer's room. She kissed Summer's head and walked over to the window bench to look out the window. "What is that little mind of yours thinking? I bet you're wondering when you won't feel tired."
Olivia looked out the window and watched as a car passed by. "I love you so much Summer. You have no idea." She rocked as she walked over to the crib and gently placed Summer inside. Summer squirmed a little, but soon fell asleep. Olivia rubbed her finger against Summer's cheek, turned out the light, and walked back to her and Elliot's room.
Elliot was out cold. He was snoring quite loudly. Olivia chuckled and got into the bed beside him. Elliot sensed the movement in the mattress and wrapped his arm around Olivia. He kissed her cheek. "Night Liv."
"Night El." Olivia said groggily and fell asleep.
A few days later, Elliot and Olivia were in the living room playing with Dickie, Summer, and Beethoven. Dickie knocked over the tower Elliot had just built. He laughed as Elliot put his face in his hands. "Daddy, build it!"
Elliot chuckled. "Why? You just knock it down. Why don't you build it?"
Dickie chuckled and started building. He looked out the window. "Mommy?"
"Yes baby?" Olivia asked feeding Summer from a bottle.
"Grandpa's here." Dickie pointed.
Elliot looked at the door just in time to here the knock. "I called my mom this morning. Take the kids upstairs."
"Okay." Olivia nodded and got up. "Dickie, c'mon. We'll go play in your room."
Elliot waited until they were upstairs before he answered the door. Joseph pushed past him and walked into the living room. "What the hell is going on?" He boomed.
"Dad, calm down." Elliot said.
"Calm down? Calm down! How do you expect me to calm down if you won't let me see my own grandchildren?" Joseph asked.
"Dad, you can still see them. I would just feel more comfortable if somebody was with you." Elliot explained.
Joseph's head snapped to Elliot. "What are you talking about?"
"Dad, you can't honestly not know." Elliot said surprised and pist. "You beat me with a belt. You once punched me for dropping a pass in a football game. I was sixteen when that happened. Dickie is two. He is going to make mistakes just like I did. Summer is only a few days old. She can't do a lot for that fact and also because she just had surgery. She isn't going to follow directions like you want her to."
"I would never hurt my grandchildren. You know I love those kids more than anything." Joseph yelled.
"I know they're your grandchildren and I know you love them, but I'm your son. That didn't stop you from coming after me. You can't tell me how to raise my kids." Elliot said.
Joseph's eyes widened. "So, I can't see them unless I'm with someone else?"
Elliot paused. "I'm sorry, but that's how Liv and I want it... I told her a few nights ago."
Joseph's face softened at the mention of Olivia. "She probably hates me."
"She doesn't hate you. She's just angry." Elliot explained.
"Can I see them?" Joe asked.
Elliot nodded and walked over to the staircase. "Olivia, you can come down."
After a moment, Olivia slowly walked down the staircase with Summer in one arm while the other held onto Dickie's hand. When they reached the bottom of the staircase, Dickie ran over to Joe. "Grandpa!"
Joe smiled and picked him up. "Hey buddy! How's my favorite little man?"
Dickie held up his thumb as best he could. "I got a new car."
"You did. Well, you'll have to show me it later." Joe smiled. He turned to Olivia and Elliot. Elliot had his arm around Olivia's waist protectively. Olivia was holding Summer securely with both arms while glaring at Joe. "Livvie Bear."
Olivia kept staring at him. Elliot leaned over to her ear. "It's okay. We're here." He whispered.
Olivia closed her eyes briefly and sucked in a breath. "Hi Joe."
Please review! You guys are great! Remember, tell me the name of that video. I really want to watch it!
