Please review! You guys are the best and I love you so much! Today, I am updating as much as I can. School got cancelled since it snowed. LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW! LET IT SNOW!
Olivia sat down at a table in the food court with Elliot and Nikki. She couldn't help but smile at everything that had happened in the past day. "I'm really glad Cragen didn't kill you."
"Me too." Elliot smiled. "I was shocked when he hugged me and said it was about time."
Olivia chuckled. "I was too. I think Nikki was even a little shocked." She looked down at her sleeping daughter in her carseat. "So, the girls did some shopping with her?"
"Yeah, they got a ton of clothes for her. I think we're covered for a while." Elliot chuckled.
Olivia smiled. "Okay, I'll have to thank them... how did Kathy and the boys take it?"
"They took it a lot better than I gave them credit for. I knew they'd be happy because they love you; I just didn't know how'd they react to me being the father." Elliot said taking a bite of his pizza.
Olivia smiled. "Well, I love that you're Nikki's father. Do you know why?"
"Because, you love me every minute of every second of everyday just like me." Elliot guessed smirking.
"Exactly." Olivia smiled and kissed him. "You don't ever need to doubt it. It will never change."
"Good, because it's exactly the same for you. I love you so much Liv." Elliot smiled leaning his forehead to hers.
"I love you too." Olivia smiled. "So, what did you want to do tonight?"
"How about we just camp out in our living room and spend time with our daughter? Then after she goes to sleep, we can camp out in your room and think of something to do." Elliot smirked.
"Oh really?" Olivia asked raising an eyebrow.
"Oh yeah." Elliot growled making Olivia giggle. "Did you just giggle?"
"Maybe." Olivia smiled. "You tend to bring that out in me."
"Oh really?" Elliot asked.
"Oh yeah!" Olivia breathed making Elliot shiver.
That night, Olivia and Elliot were sitting in the living room watching Nikki play. Olivia smiled as Nikki laughed and rolled over onto her stomach. "What is my Nikki doing?" She asked as she laid on her stomach.
Nikki giggled and shook her head. Elliot laughed. "She's probably thinking my mommy is so goofy." Nikki laughed again and got up on her hands and knees.
Olivia turned over onto her back and watched as Nikki crawled over to her and planted an opened mouth kiss on her forehead. "Oh, slobber monster!" She smiled and lifted Nikki above her. Nikki squealed and clapped her hands together.
Elliot smiled and laid down next to Olivia. "I could get used to this."
"Good." Olivia smiled. She handed Nikki over to Elliot. "Her diaper needs changing."
Elliot rolled his eyes. "That's nice of you. C'mon Nikki, let's go get you changed."
After changing Nikki's diaper, Elliot brought her back out to the living room to find Olivia picking up toys. "But Mom, I was still playing with those!" Elliot complained pretending to be his daughter.
Olivia laughed. "I don't care. It's bedtime for little Ms. Nikki."
"I'll go put her down and then we can camp out." Elliot smirked winking at her.
"She does not go to sleep that easily." Olivia smirked. "Hand her here."
Elliot rolled his eyes and handed Nikki to Olivia. "What? Does she have a ritual or something?"
"You could call it that." Olivia smiled and carried Nikki to her room. After changing Nikki into her pajamas, Olivia sat down in the rocking chair with her.
Elliot sat by the doorway and peeked in through the slightly open door to watch. Olivia smiled down at Nikki and kissed her head. She started singing.
"Hush now, watch the stars fall Sinking embers glow And I watch them burn And I watch them burn Now all the stars have gone I am waiting here
Into a fire wall
I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
Melting icy snow
And I am waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return
When will I ever learn?
If I wait it doesn't mean
You will return
Faded into cracks of dawn
And I'm still waiting here
Waiting for you to come home
Waiting for you to come home"
Elliot watched in amazement as Olivia kissed Nikki one last time and put her down in her crib. Olivia walked out and was surprised to see Elliot sitting right by the door. "El, what are you doing?"
"You never told me you could sing." Elliot said getting up and taking her hands into his.
Olivia rolled her eyes. "I can't sing. I just happen to know that song very well."
Elliot wrapped his arms around her and kissed her nose. "Don't be silly. You sing beautifully. Do you have any other songs up your sleeves?"
"I might have one or two that I know." Olivia smiled.
"Name one of them." Elliot said leading her to the bedroom.
Olivia smiled. "Uh, how about Come Home by Faith Hill?"
"I listened to that one a lot. I might be able to sing with you." Elliot smiled.
"Good." Olivia smirked and turned on her stero.
"Hello world, hope you're listening Come home, come home I get lost in the beauty of everything I see Come home, come home Everything I can't be Come home, come home
Forgive me if I'm young
Or speaking out of turn
But there's someone I've been missing
And I think that they could be
The better half of me
They're in the wrong place trying to make it right
But I'm tired of justifying
So I say to you...
Cause I've been waiting for you
For so long, so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
To fight for you is all I've ever known
So come home
The world ain't as half as bad
As they paint it to be
When all the sons, all the daughters stop to take it in
Then hopefully the hate subsides and the love can begin
It might start now
Maybe I'm just dreaming out loud
But until then...
Cause I've been waiting for you
For so long, so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
To fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known
Come home
Is everything you should be
And that's why I need you here
Everything I can't be
Is everything you should be
And that's why I need you here
So hear this now
Cause I've been waiting for you
For so long, so long
And right now there's a war between the vanities
But all I see is you and me
To fight for you is all I've ever known, ever known
Come home
Come home"
That was the moment that Elliot knew that this would be his home forever. He had no doubt about it. Loving Olivia was easy and being with her would be even easier.
