"Why? Why did you have to do that?" Olivia whined as she dropped her head onto the dining room table.

Elliot sighed before sitting down next to her, rubbing her back. "The house was too quiet."

Olivia lifted her head to glare at him. "Why don't you deal with three screaming kids all day and then deal with them?"

"Liv, I know that we had some peace and quiet. But, do you really want that because there's bad blood with my parents?" Elliot asked seriously.

"It could be real blood with your parents. They drive me insane." Olivia stated before rubbing her temples. "But, when I married you, I got them." She saw Elliot smile slightly. "I need to go grocery shopping. So, since you have the day off, why don't you watch the kids and I'll have my peace and quiet?"

Elliot's eyes widened. "That's not fair."

Olivia smirked before pecking his lips. "You making up with your parents before proper notice isn't fair. I'm going to get ready."

"Alright, sweetie. I've got this all covered." Sonya smiled looking at all the kids playing on the floor. Don had already made himself comfortable in front of the TV, slowly getting closer to his afternoon nap.

"Okay, but Olivia can't know that you took care of the kids today. I'm going to play one quick round of golf, and then I'll be home. Just, make sure Layla goes down for her nap on time and the boys don't mess around in my office." Elliot explained as he picked up his golf clubs and headed towards the garage door.

Sonya nodded her head. "Don't worry, Elliot. I am the best grandma for this job. Grandpa is just here so he won't fall asleep on the toilet... again."

Elliot shook his head. "Wow, I didn't need to know that."

Don grabbed one of the boys plastic baseballs from the floor and threw it at Elliot, aiming for his head, but hitting him in the crotch. Elliot keeled over in pain. "Bring me chips!"

Elliot groaned as he hobbled to open the door. "I gotta go." He left the house, leaving his kids in the caring hands of his parents.

Elliot smirked as he laid back on the couch to watch the baseball game. His parents had left right after he came back because of a previous engagement. Olivia had called and said she went to get a manicure to treat herself, and he had gotten the kids down all in time to spend the next few hours propped in front the TV. The game had just started when Olivia walked in carrying a load of bags. "Hi sweetie! How was your day with the kids?" She asked.

"Good, we spent some good quality time together. I taught Layla how to run away from boys." Elliot smirked before taking a swig of his soda. "How was your day?"

"Well, other than grocery shopping with tired feet, it was good. One of my friends from college was at the salon where I got my manicure. You wouldn't believe it. She's been married three times already with a kid from each marriage." Olivia said shaking her head as she started putting away different items. "You didn't even like paying for one wedding. Imagine three."

Elliot grinned. "I'd be broke."

Olivia chuckled before opening the fridge to put the milk away. She furrowed her eyebrows when she found a fresh plate of lasagna placed in there. The cover had water on it from the steam that had come off of it earlier. "El, why is there lasagna in the fridge?" She asked crossing her arms over her chest and leaning against the large door frame between the two rooms.

Elliot felt the heat raise in his neck, slowly climbing towards his face. "I made it for the kids and I today."

Olivia smirked with a small chuckle. "Honey, you don't even know how to work the oven. You had your mother over here today, didn't you?"

"No!" Elliot scoffed before Olivia raised an eyebrow at him. "Yes! Yes, I had my mother take care of the kids because the guys wanted to go golfing!"

"Elliot! I wanted you to have a day with the kids! This was your first day off in months!" Olivia complained dropping her arms to her sides.

"I know, and, believe me, I wanted to spend time with them too! But, the guys offered to pay, and David wanted a rematch because he thinks I got lucky. I told him it was because I was a better golf player. And, I proved it today!" Elliot said going to far into his story.

Olivia's eyes widened. "Elliot!"

Elliot sighed. "Sorry! I came home and still spent time with the kids. It's not like I came home right when they were going to bed. I did one round of golf and then came right back."

"How much time did you spend with the kids?" Olivia asked.

"I don't know. I got home around three. I put Layla down at eight and the boys to bed and eight-thirty. So, I spent a good amount of time with them." Elliot estimated before scratching the back of his head. "I know that I should've spent the whole day with them, but I figured if I just did one round and came back it wouldn't be that big of a deal."

Olivia sighed. "Well, I guess you did spend a lot of the day with them."

Elliot smiled as he walked up to her. "See! There is the silver lining. You wanted me to spend time with the kids. Check. You wanted to go grocery shopping. Check. And, I don't see my parents around to annoy us or get in the way."

Before Olivia could say anything, Don opened the door without making a move to close it or walk further into the house. "Hey Don, what is it?"

"Sonya doesn't want me to clog the toilet. I'm still wondering if I have to go or not." Don stated before standing for another moment. "The feeling passed, but I'll stick around in case it comes back." He said before sitting down in the chair. "What's on the tube?"

Elliot looked at Olivia to find her staring back at him. "Sorry." Olivia nodded her head before patting his chest and heading back to the kitchen. "I'll make up for it tonight."

Olivia smirked. "Not in the way you think."
