Saving Myself (Law and Order)

Chapter 81♡

(Elliot's P.O.V)

It was 6am. Getting up, I let Liv rest a bit longer. Last night was surprising.. but good. Going to check on Caleb, I could see his eyes flutter open. "Morning buddy." He smiled at me. He had two teeth which were slowly coming through. "Da da." As I picked him up out of his cot, I saw that his cheeks were quite red. He's not been sleeping due to the teething as well as the bad energy in the apartment. "We had better get your sisters up so we can get dressed, have breakfast and check that we have everything before we leave. Knocking on Paige and Ariel's bedroom doors, they groaned. "It's too early Dad!" Ari shouted. "Ariel Benson! Do you want streaky bacon or not?" She bolted up quickly.🥰😂 I knew the way to my daughter's heart. "Yay! It's holiday time!" Paige opened her bedroom door. As the girls went to sort themselves out, I placed Caleb in his highchair. Putting some orange juice in his beaker, I stroked his cheek. He sat quietly drinking his juice as I started preparing breakfast. "Da Da?" As I sliced up his toast, he smiled as I put the plate on his highchair. "Girls!!" They all came downstairs. "Morning beautiful." Olivia kissed me as she made a cup of coffee. "Thanks for the lie in babe. Everything is packed up." She then sipped her coffee as she ruffled Caleb's hair. "Oh honey.. your hair is becoming very curly." He looked so cute with crumbs all over his face. "Mama. Osat." She then took a piece. "Mommy. I've packed my colouring book and my pencils. I've also packed my swimming costume too."

She kissed Paige's forehead. I could see that Ariel was worried about something. "Could I ask you something Dad?' Me and Liv both said yes. "Could I take my journal instead of my medication please? It's making my muscles worse." Paige then excused herself from the kitchen table. "Come on sweetheart." I followed her upstairs. "See you in a bit Liv."

I had no idea that Ari's medication was making her have really bad side effects. "You should of come to me sweetheart.' She said that it wasn't until last night that her muscles tensed up. "Aw honey. Go and have a shower. That may ease the aching a bit." She hugged me. I kissed the top of her head. "Ria has just texted me. She said that she's having a good time on her holiday." I said that was nice. "I'll be up in a minute. As she went upstairs, I looked at Caleb. "You're such a beautiful boy. Aren't you?" He reached for me. I kissed his cheeks. "Let's go and get ready." As I sorted out Caleb, I heard Elliot. "You girls are going to have so much fun. I need this time with you two as you're both growing up so much." He loved Ari and Paige.

After I had washed Caleb, I jumped in quickly myself. Paige and Ari used our other bathroom. We also couldn't wait to move as well. "Caleb.. go and find Daddy." He crawled away happily. "Hey mate. Liv, I like his outfit." I had put him in a cute little blue sleeveless top with some shorts. He should be nice and cool on the journey down.

Once I was finished in the shower, I decided to just wear some plain blue jeans with a red top. It was lovely and casual. After dressing, I sorted out my hair. I put it up in a messy ponytail. Hearing my phone, I saw texts from Nina and Amanda.

Nina:

Have a fab time away!!!! I'll look forward to catching up and seeing all the pictures. Love you all.💜

Amanda:

I hope you enjoy your time away!!! Can't wait to hear all about it. Xx

Texting them back quickly, I put my phone away in my bag. Ariel then called me. She was in her bedroom packing up her backpack. "You look amazing Mom." I thanked her. She was wearing her blue demin shorts, a black and white printed top. Her shoes were also pretty stylish too.  Her hair was also very, very dark. "I think it's fading. It's heading back to brown." She brushed it up into a bun.
