Epilogue

Present Day

"Mommy!" Noah called out from the living room "We're gonna be late!" It was mid-April, the sun was shining on a warm Saturday afternoon, and today was going to be his first t-ball game. The five-year-old so excited he'd wanted to put his uniform on as soon as he woke up.

"I'll be there in a minute! And no, we're not gonna be late!"

Noah anxiously checked again that his shoes were tied then looked in the mirror that his hat was on correctly. "Mommy!"

"Noah." Alex said walking down the stairs. "We have plenty of time." she smiled at her son, over a year since she'd officially adopted him and she still sometimes couldn't believe he was hers.

It had now been two-and-a-half years since she and Olivia had rekindled their relationship. Alex often thought they'd had a great relationship pre-Lewis, but it couldn't compare to their relationship now. They had taken the pain and heartache from their breakup and used it to build the foundation of a strong, loving relationship. Just shy of their one year anniversary Olivia had asked her to adopt Noah. Alex had tearfully, and enthusiastically, accepted. And just a couple months later, on New Year's Eve, Olivia proposed. They married the following June, their first wedding anniversary now less than two months away.

"Mama's not here yet." Noah said worriedly as they gathered their things to leave.

"She'll be there sweetheart." Alex smiled. She pulled her phone out and sent a quick text to the brunette who'd had to go to the station for a situation earlier that morning. 'So help me, if you miss our son's first game I'll kill you.'

It was just a moment that a response popped up 'Not a doubt in my mind Counselor. I'll be there, headed to the park as we speak. Oh, you might want to be careful making threats by text. If something were to happen to me it's not gonna look so good for you when TARU goes through my messages ;)'

Alex rolled her eyes and chuckled 'See you at the park. Love you.'

All she received in reply was the blowing a kiss emoji.

Alex double checked she'd locked up then turned to see Noah standing on the top step; the boy wearing white baseball pants, a blue t-shirt (the team names only going by color) with his number seven on the back. Alex smiled at the name, Cabot-Benson, across the back of his shirt.

"Are you sure Mama will be there?"

"I promise, she'll be there." She smiled.

Getting into the car Alex glanced up at their brownstone. This had been another one of the changes since they'd gotten back together. Alex had kept her apartment but eventually spent all her nights at Olivia's. Finally, after many months of being back together, Olivia pointed out that it would be more convenient if they lived under one roof. Alex was the one to mention finding another place. While she had loved that apartment, and it had been a fresh start after the nightmare that was Lewis, she wondered if making another fresh start would be a good idea. They spent time discussing it, and finally deciding to search out a small brownstone. Alex had been concerned that moving could upset Noah, but when he found out he'd have a bigger room plus a small backyard he became very excited. Now they had a small townhouse on the Upper West Side in a quiet neighborhood.

Arriving at the park Alex walked Noah over to where his team was waiting. Just outside the fence she stopped to take his picture.

"I was wondering when you two would get here!"

"Mama!" Noah called out as he ran to the brunette.

Olivia hugged her son and smiled at her wife as she approached "Told ya I'd beat you here."

Alex kissed the brunette quickly "Lucky for you." then giving her a playful wink.

They stood along the fence watching the game, cheering on Noah's team and anxiously waiting their son's turn at bat. "So," Olivia was leaning on the fence watching as the opposing team took the field as it was Noah's team's turn at bat. "Amanda asked if Noah could have a sleepover with Jesse tonight."

"She did?" Alex asked, a playful grin on her face.

"She did. I think it's just a repayment for us keeping Jesse that weekend a while back. But you know how much Noah loves them."

Alex playfully bumped her wife's hip with her own "It also means a night alone for us."

"So it's okay to text Amanda and tell her we're taking her up on her offer?"

"Yes, but not right now." She nodded to home plate.

"Go Noah!" Olivia cheered as she saw Noah step up to the tee.

It was a swing and a miss.

"It's okay Noah!" Alex encouraged.

His second try was another strike.

Alex and Olivia nervously glanced at one another. Noah had worked hard in practice, they'd practiced with him in their backyard as well, and he was so excited about playing. They hoped he wouldn't become discouraged in his first game. Alex clasped her hands in front of her where she was leaning on the fence, as if she were praying. She closed her eyes for a second then focused her son again "You can do it, Noah!"

He took another swing and this time connected with the ball. While some of the opposing team scrambled for the ball Noah began running for first base.

"Go, baby, go!" Olivia shouted.

"That's my son!" Alex shouted in excitement as she jumped up and down.

When the game ended Noah was all smiles as he ran to his mothers. "I had so much fun!"

"You did great, sweetheart!" Olivia hugged him as he threw his arms around her waist.

"The best player out there." Alex taking her turn for a hug. "So, are you glad you signed up?"

"Yeah! I love it!"

"Well…I think this calls for a celebration." Alex said as they started to their car. "How about ice cream?"

"Yeah!"

"Are you sure it's such a good idea to give him ice cream then send him to Amanda's later?" Olivia asked.

"It's still early, the sugar will wear off on us." Alex said sarcastically.

Over ice cream Olivia told Noah of the offer she'd received "Sweetheart, how would you like to stay the night with Aunt Amanda and Jesse this evening?"

"Really?"

Alex nodded.

"Yeah, I like going there. Amanda is so funny and I love playing with Jesse."

Once they were back home Noah was playing on their patio while Olivia and Alex watched from the kitchen. "Well, since we have the rare free night what do you want to do?" Alex asked as she sipped a cup of tea.

"I don't know. Maybe dinner and a show?"

"Or, dinner and dancing?"

"Mmm…" Olivia leaned into Alex from behind, wrapping her arms around the blonde "I can't remember the last time we went dancing."

Alex sat her cup down and turned. Olivia placed her hands on the counter on either side of her wife, effectively pinning her in. Alex placed her hands on Olivia's waist and pulled her body against her own "Dinner, dancing then back here for a little…fun." Waggling her eyebrows as she spoke.

"Oh, I plan on having a lot of fun." Olivia said before claiming Alex's lips in a passionate kiss.

"Yuck!" Noah said, surprising his parents. His eyes wide as he'd caught them kissing "Did you just have your tongue in her mouth?!"

Olivia turned several shades of red at being caught making out. As she looked at a blushing Alex she suddenly flashed back to that afternoon several years ago when Noah caught them making out on the couch. My how the times had changed she thought.

"Go back out and put away your toys, then we'll get your bag together to take to Amanda's later."

"Still think it's no big deal him seeing us making out?" Alex joked, but she was her own shade of crimson.

"Shut up."

"I love our son dearly, but I think a night alone is sorely needed." Alex joked.

Olivia's expression turned playful, one often reserved for the bedroom. She took a few slow steps until she was standing in front of the blonde "And just think," she leaned in close so her lips were right by Alex's ear "Once we're back home tonight I can kiss you anywhere I want." She pulled back and looked Alex in the eyes "And I'm not talking about anywhere in this house, although I can do that too. I mean I can kiss you anywhere I want…."

"Ugh, you're gonna kill me before the night is over." Alex whispered.

"You're the one who wanted me." Olivia was flirty but there was a sincerity in her voice as well.

"I do. I want you now and for all eternity."

"And you've got me."
