Elliot walked into the house to find Dickie kicking an air-filled punching bag, Summer coloring in the kitchen, Kendle running in circles around the couch, and Olivia chewing on a carrot. "Hey babe, what's going on?"
"Your mother popped in this afternoon and decided that she would make supper for us." Olivia said smiling, but her tone was off.
"Really?" Elliot asked walking into the kitchen. He lifted Summer up and kissed her head.
Bernie popped up from behind the counter. "Hello dear." She smiled warmly.
Elliot jumped slightly from surprise. "Oh, you're still here." He looked at what his mother had on the counter. "What are you making?"
"I have mashed potatos, chicken, and vegetables. I have an apple pie in the oven." Bernie smiled.
"That sounds good." Elliot concluded looking back at Olivia confused.
Olivia smirked. "I can't have the pie and she took my chocolate because it's 'not good' for the baby." Elliot's eyes widened and Olivia nodded. If there was one thing he knew, Olivia did not do well if she didn't get her chocolate when she wanted it.
"Mom, where did you put Olivia's chocolate?" Elliot asked resting Summer on his other hip.
"I know where it is." Summer said rubbing her eyes.
"You do?" Olivia asked standing up. "Where is it?"
Summer pointed down the hallway. "Grandma put it in the piano." She watched as her mother hurried down the hallway before dropping her head to Elliot's shoulder.
Elliot sat down. "Murmur, are you okay?"
"My stomach hurts." Summer groaned.
"Is it like usual?" Elliot asked. Summer nodded. "Okay, let's go get the bucket." He walked down the hallway and turned into the bathroom to grab the green bucket Summer used every night.
Olivia walked back down the hallway with her bags off chocolate in hand. When she walked by the bathroom, she looked in. "Oh no. Summer isn't feeling good again."
Elliot shook his head as Summer took the bucket from him. He stood up and stepped out of the bathroom. "We need to figure out what's going on. She never has a fever, but every night she is getting sick and throwing up." He kissed Summer's head. "I'll call Cragen and tell him that I'm taking Summer in tomorrow."
"Okay, that sounds good." Olivia nodded before kissing Summer's head. "I'll call the clinic." She said before walking into the kitchen.
The next day, Elliot drove into the city with Summer. During the appointment, Elliot explained everything Summer had been experiencing. When they had to take blood, he held her close and made sure she didn't look. Afterwards, they told Elliot that they would call him with the test results. He walked out carrying Summer as the cool air hit them. "Well, it's May and it's still cold out. What should we do about that Summer?"
"You could be the weather man." Summer grinned as she wrapped her arms around Elliot's neck.
Elliot laughed as he started walking down the side walk. "Well, Mommy said that you need new shoes because your feet hurt after you wear them for twenty minutes. Why is that?"
"I don't know." Summer shrugged as Elliot went through the revolving doors leading to a small mall. Looking around, Summer pointed out the shoe store. "There's Mommy's shoe store."
"Yeah, that is Mommy's shoe store. I don't think we need to get you high heeled boots yet, though." Elliot chuckled as he walked down the hallways of the mall. He found a shoe store that Fin had recommended. He said Will and Kenny got their shoes there. "Here, Will got his shoes here. He got those blue sneakers that light up for his eighth birthday."
"I want those." Summer smiled.
Elliot chuckled as they walked in. A man, that looked like he was in college, came up to them. "Hi, can I help you find anything?"
"Uh, yeah. My daughter has a problem with her shoes. Every time we go somewhere, her feet hurt after twenty minutes." Elliot explained as Summer looked around at all the shoes.
"Daddy, I want those." Summer grinned pointing to a pair of sneakers. They were hot pink and bright orange.
Elliot's eyes widened. "You want those?" Summer nodded up at him. "Those are pretty sharp."
The man chuckled as he took them off the shelf. "Well, how about we check out your feet to see if these will work for you." He helped Summer into a chair and took her shoes off before examining her feet. "I see the problem." He looked up at Elliot. "Your daughter has extremely high arches. I have never seen any this high."
"So, what does that mean for my daughter?" Elliot asked furrowing his eyebrows.
"That means that she is going to need a shoe that has more support. We have some, but that shoe your daughter picked out isn't one of them." The man sighed. "They are in back if you want me to get them."
"That would be great." Elliot nodded and watched as the man left. He squatted down in front of Summer. "Hey babe, we can't get those shoes."
"Why not?" Summer whined.
Elliot sighed. "They are going to hurt your feet. That man is going to get shoes that will be more comfortable for you. Shopping will be more enjoyable for you."
"Okay." Summer pouted, but laughed when Elliot mocked her. She kissed his nose as the man came back out with two different shoes.
"So, we have a Nike shoe that comes in green or blue. Then, we have an Asics shoe that comes in white and black or white and blue." The man said holding them up for Summer.
Summer looked at the two shoes. "I want the white and blue one."
The man smiled. "Okay, Asics is known for better arch support anyway."
Elliot smiled down at Summer before looking at the man. "How much are they?"
"Sixty-five dollars." The man said simply as he picked up the box that had the shoes inside.
"Is the inside made of silk?" Elliot asked astonished by the price. He looked down at Summer and huffed out a breath. "And, this will be better for her?"
"Definatly." The man nodded.
"Fine, she's a size nine in girls shoes." Elliot sighed. The man nodded again before going to the back again. He picked Summer up. "Did you know you're an expensive child?"
Summer chuckled. "I'm special."
Elliot grinned before kissing her head. "You got that right."
