Chapter 7

Previously on "Life of Surprises":

"I love you too, El." Olivia said as the staring continued. She leaned in for another kiss until a small giggle broke them from their trance. Olivia looked over Elliot's shoulder to see Alex standing in the doorway with Noah perched on her hip. Elliot turned around to see what Olivia was looking at. Both began to blush when they saw the smug grin on Alex's face.

"Somebody wanted to join the party." She said nodding toward the baby in her arms.

"And who is this somebody?" Elliot asked, directing the question toward Olivia.

"El, I would like you to meet Noah. My son."

"Son?" Elliot asked confused.

"I adopted him." Olivia explained as she walked toward Alex and Noah.

"Mama. Mama." Noah babbled as he reached his tiny arms towards his mother but Olivia didn't grab him. She stood still staring at the infant in Alex's arms with tears in her eyes.

"Liv?" Elliot asked.

No answer.

"Liv. What is it baby?" He asked again as he walked closer to her.

"He-he...that's the f-first time he's called me mom." Olivia said her voice cracking.

"Mama. Mama." Noah kept babbling, becoming upset.

"That's right baby. That's your mommy." Elliot said as he took the little boy out of Alex's arms. Alex headed toward the kitchen as Olivia walked over to her partn- wait? He isn't her partner anymore. Was he her boyfriend?

"Hey El?" She asked.

"Yeah?" He answered as he made silly faces at Noah.

"Where does this leave us?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I mean us. This." She said as she gestured between the two of them.

"We can be whatever you want to be, Liv. But I really do love you and I want to be with you. I will do anything to make up for all the pain I caused." He said seriously.

"I love you and want to be with you too, El." She said.

"So, where does this leave us, Liv" he asked mocking her.

"It leaves us right where we need to be." Olivia said with a smile.

I know it's short guys but I wanted to end it with Olivia saying that! I promise the next chapter will be longer (and surprise filled)!
