We fell in love

Chapter 6

-Olivia's POV-

I've been staying with Elliot while my mother and Carl stay at my house. I have talked to her but only about the house and if there were any problems. I avoid Carl as much as I can but it seems like every time I'm alone with Lizzie or both of the kids he always pops up, saying hi. Right now it's just me and Lizzie out shopping, me and her have grown very close to each other. Elliot took Dickie out for guys time, I'm pretty sure they just went to the arcade. While me and Lizzie walk down the street to a restaurant for lunch, I get a call.

O: hello?
E: hey baby
O: hey, how's your day with Dickie
E: it's good but I miss you guys
O: oh I miss you guys too, we are getting lunch then we are going to head home
E: okay, we are gonna eat then head home to
O: okay then I'll see you then?
E: yea, we gonna hang around the house tonight?
O: yea?
E: good, I'll get some new movies. I love you
O: love you too

"Was that daddy?" Lizzie asks as we walk into the restaurant.

"Yea. We're gonna go home after we eat and we are all gonna be together." I say, and she shrugs her shoulders with a simple 'okay'. We walk in and are seated at a booth, but Lizzie still has issues being away from me or Elliot while other people are around, so she sits on the same side as me. We order our food and we both end up getting chicken strips with fries and pickles. Lizzie loves pickles.

"How's you food?" I ask her, watching her chew on a fry.

"Good." she says, looking up at me with her fathers amazing blue eyes, smiling.

"Good." I say tapping her nose with my finger. I steal one of her fries and she laughs as I eat it.

"You have your own." she says stealing one of mine.

"Hey." I say tickling her. She laughs loudly, and some people look over at us but we don't really care. I only care about her happiness because the only reason she has nightmares and the only reason she is scare is because of me. If I hadn't told them they could come with me to meet that asshole then this would have never happened.

"Ready?" I ask her as we get her jacket in. She nods and puts her arms up, for me to hold her. I smile and pick her up. She wrapped her arms around my shoulders, and lays her head on my shoulder. I leave money for the bill, and start to walk out. As we are walking out we see Finn and John walking up, outside the restaurant.

"Hey Olivia." Fin says walking up to me. "hey lizzie."

"Hey guys." I say, as Lizzie just gives them a lazy wave.

"You look so tired." John says, rubbing Lizzie's back.

"Yea we just got done having a girls day, she's exausted." I say, looking down at lizzie, as she yawns. As I look up I notice my mother and Carl walking towards the restaurant. I hoped and prayed that they didn't notice me. But with my luck they did.

"Well I think it's great that your there for Elliot's kids." Fin says smiling at me and lizzie.

"Yea it's great. Speaking of the devil where is he?" John asks.

"Him and Dickie had a guys day. We were just heading home, so we could spend the rest of the night together." I say hinting that I need to go.

"Yea I'll see you later, tell el we said hey." Fin said before they walked into the restaurant.

"See ya guys." I say, before I walk towards the road to hail a can as Lizzie slowly starts to drift off on my shoulder.

"Liv?" I hear my mother say as they get closer. I turn around to see Them both with smile on their faces, but I know that smile, the one on Carls face, it's not his 'it's good to see you' face.
