Reunited and it feels so good.

"Now stay on the path Josh, don't go too fast!"

"I won't Daddy," Josh hollers back with excitement, as he pushes off on his new scooter. He had learnt to master it in under an hour and there was no stopping him now. Both Fitz and Olivia watch on in pride, as he scoots along merrily.

They casually trail behind, and as soon as Joshua is out of eat shot Fitz turns and asks Olivia his burning question… "So… what's it going to be, have you decided to move in or not?"

A soft smile graces her lips. "Actually, I thought about it long and hard last night, knowing we were going to tell Josh today… and I have decided that I can't be all I want to be, to both of you and him, without moving in, I love you both so much that nothing will make me happier than having us all under one roof again…"

Fitz gleams from ear to ear… "Oh baby, I'm so happy to hear you say that…" Irresistibly he gives her cheeky kiss on the lips…

"Hmmmmm" she revels for a moment. "I know, I'm happy too, but as long as you promise that we can immediately start looking for a new apartment after…"

He nods in agreement, "Sure, no problem, I understand how strongly you feel about making a new start somewhere else… So I'll… I mean, WE- shall get on it right away…"

She smiles at him with love and gratitude… "Thanks, it means a lot to me…"

"Mummy LOOK, look at me!"

The sound of her son's voice somehow manages to draw her attention away from Fitz's kissable lips and towards him instead, as he makes his way back at full speed…

"Wow, look at you, well done, Mummy's very proud… but you need to slow down a bit…"

"Yes son, slow down, we don't want you getting hurt…" Fitz adds firmly, but Joshua chooses to ignore him… "I won't get hurt, look…" He spins his scouter around and heads off again, very quickly.

"Joshua, I'm not going to ask you again…" Fitz calls after him, but his words seem to fall on deaf ears… He looks at Olivia in exasperation… "Can you believe this boy? Joshua, come back here NOW!"

Too late, just as he fears Joshua falls off his scouter and hits the ground hard. Josh's shrill cry sets off further alarm bells as both of them quickly run over to him. Olivia gasps, when she sees the bloody cuts to his knees and hand… "Oh my goodness!"

"Okay son, sssh now… up we get, let me have a look at it…" Fitz immediately falls into doctor mode, appearing much calmer than he feels as he quickly looks him over…

"Is he okay?" Olivia asks worriedly…

"Just grazes it seems, nothing that can't be fixed…" Fitz assures her as he pulls off his ruck sac and looks for antiseptic wipes and plasters. Olivia crouches down next to them and pulls Josh in for a hug… He sobs against her.

"There, there… it's okay now…" She comforts him, before promptly telling him off… "But you see this is what happened when you don't listen!"

Startled, but in a good way, Fitz looks at her impressed… She had truly come into her own as a parent, finding that important balance between nurture, discipline and love. In the beginning she would have deliberately avoided telling Josh off, but not anymore, now she remained firm when she needed to be, and even today despite Josh's tears and her initial shock, she made sure to deliver a fundamental lesson to their son-in that he must follow his parent's instructions the first time round, otherwise he could end up getting hurt.

"I'm sorry mummy…" Josh sniffles.

"That's okay sweetpea, you just make sure to listen next time, because Mummy and Daddy know best…"

"That's right Josh," Fitz reaffirms, "Especially on this scouter, otherwise we will have to put it away until you can prove to us that you are wise enough to play on it safely…"

"Aawwlright…"

"Good boy, now let's get those knees sorted out… this might sting a little..."

All cleaned up, bandaged and tears dried, they head to the ice-cream parlour situated across from the park, where they plan to tell Josh their big news, over their favourite deserts. Fitz goes to order, as Olivia and Josh take a seat in one of the booths. Still feeling a bit needy, Josh asks to sit in her lap… "Of course baby, come here…" He immediately moves onto her lap and she snuggles him close…

She whispers, "Mummy loves her brave little boy, did you know that?" He shuffles round slightly, offering up his cheek for a kiss; she doesn't hesitate to comply. "Mwah".

"I love you too mummy!"

Fitz watches on quietly at their exchange, his heart swelling with joy and pride… He can't wait to tell Josh that his Mummy and Daddy are going to be living together again, because he knows Josh will be over the moon about it; for the love Josh has for Olivia is so incredibly obvious it cannot be denied.

Unable to stop smiling, he takes the seat opposite them and gives Olivia a knowing look, it says… This has never felt more right!

15 minutes later, mid desert and lots of chocolate sauce and sprinkles… United, Olivia and Fitz tell their son the best news EVER, his little face lightens up in response!

Mummy was coming home, for good!
