Eight months have gone by. Lizzie had to work longer than expected because someone was ill which ment the whole production was delayed. She did come home to celebrate her birthday which was nice and we have done video calls but I haven't seen her since then. Leias the size of an adult dog now which is insane but she hasn't been herself since Lizzie went away. She kept barking hearing Lizzie's voice from the laptop and jumping around allover the place thinking her mama was coming home. However, today is the day Lizzie is actually coming home which is so exciting. Our weddings soon which I'm hyped for and we are starting our journey to motherhood!
I finish my shift early at the hospital today so I can get home in plenty of time so the house is tidy for Lizzie's return. Zara and the the team are okay with me leaving since there's no expected births this afternoon so hopefully we are all good. I arrive home and the first thing I do is wash my gigantic puppy in the bath, she rolled around in mud and shit this morning so she needs a big soak and shampoo on her. After a bath Leia looks completely different, she's smooth and shiny which I adore.
"Hey stop!" I giggle removing the water from my face she splashed on me "your such a naughty puppy" I massage the shampoo down into the skin which she loves. "What's mama going to say when she comes back and your a size of a proper dog?" I ask rhetorically making her excited for Lizzie to return. I rinse off the soap and help her out "stay" I tell her sternly grabbing her towel to dry her. It gets the most off but a hairdryer and brush is needed to do a proper job. Washing a drying Leia is such a big job because she's huge and she's got so much fur but it's all worsh it when she comes out looking like a princess.
I finish vacuuming and cleaning just as the doorbell rings which is such good timing. I answer the door to Romain and Rose, they are coming too for Scarlett ofcourse. "Hi!" I say enthusiastically and move to the side so they can come in. I take Rose from Romain and hold her in the air. She's so big now, Rose is one which is insane. It feels like only yesterday she was born. "Hi" i coo making her babble and bring her down to my chest, she loves gripping and holding onto stuff so I guess my vest straps are the ultimate for her. We go into the lounge and of course Leias quick to sniff the baby again, we both laugh when Rose does a little sneeze from Leia licking her too much. "Do you want to stroke her? Should we stroke her?" I hold out her hand and run it down Leias ear "good job" I kiss her hair and let her dance around on my lap. "She's started taking her first steps. If you put her down she might try" "really? You are getting a big girl" I stand her on her feet allowing her to get her balance and let go. She takes a couple of steps but falls over onto her bum "aww" I chuckle and stand up "what about is auntie Y/n helps?" I stand her back up and help her hold my pinkies "let's go!" She grips my fingers really tightly but we do get some distance. Leia follows us of course smelling every single part of Rose she can. We go back into the lounge and I smile up at Romain "she's a really good learner" I tell him "she is. We practice alot at home" I pick Rose up and hold her with one arm "and your getting heavy too your purple monster" I tease.
I watch as a gray car pulls up onto the driveway and Lizzie get out "take her" I tell him and hand Rose to her dad. I open the door making Lizzie look at the house, I run over to her and wrap my arms around her neck "I missed you so much" I cry into her neck taking in the scent I haven't had for the past eight months "I missed you too" I squeeze her tightly but pull away and little to see her face "what's this from?" I ask running my finger over the purple bruise next to her left eye "Chris may have accidentally hit me with a prop" I give her a stare just as it get interrupted by barking. Leia pelts towards us at full speed and crashes into Lizzie "woah, you've gotten so big!" She says knealing down to pet Leia who's jumping everywhere and her tail wagging. Scarlett gets out the car and walks around to me, I hug her tightly and let Lizzie talk to Leia in the background. "I missed you so much squirt" she smiles "I missed you too" I pull away and look up at the house "Romain and Rose are here if you want to go and say hi" "really?" I nod making her smile. She starts heading up the drive and I turn back to Lizzie fussing over Leia "did you wash her?" "Yeah just for you" I kiss her lips and let her hand find its way under my vest "I missed you so much" "I missed you too".
We are outside for ten minutes so Scarlett has time to say hi to her family. We go inside and find the three on the sofa "Leia" I tap her dog bed and she lays inside "Roses gotten so big" Lizzie says admiring the baby "I know, it's so scary" Scarlett hands me the baby and I give her to Lizzie "Hiya" she coos and tickles Roses tummy. "Da!" She screams pointing at Leia "yeah that's a puppy. Should we go say hi?" Lizzie carries her over and kneals down Infront of Leia. Rose crawls off her lap and pats Leias back "gentle" Scarlett reminds her but she is so it doesn't add to anything "Rosie say Leia" I tell her "Leia" Lizzie adds "say Leia" Scarlett encourages "ya-yaya!!" She screams "good job!".
Scarlett and the family went home leaving Lizzie, Leia and I alone. Lizzie brings my legs up onto her lap and holds them close to her "excited for the wedding?" I nod and tuck a strand of hair behind my ear "very! I've got my dress, have you got your?" "Maybe, maybe not" I smile and rub behind Leias ears. She rests her head on my lap and stares up at me with her big black eyes "what? What do you want?" She jumps up and puts both her paws on my lap "no, you too big now. Not of the sofa" she growls deeply but it soon turns into a playful lick. Lizzie laughs and scratches behind her ears "it's so good to have you back" I tell her and reach for her hand "it's good to finally be home with both of you".
We are making dinner together at the moment and Lizzie can't seem to keep her hands to herself. Leias eating her food from the mat which also happens to be some of our dinner that Lizzie insisted she had. It's only beef so it won't do her any harm. I fry the mushrooms in the pan and my fiance runs her fingers up my arms "what you doing?" She asks making me sigh "you know what I'm doing" I mumble and do I little shimmy to make her hands fall from my shoulders. Her arms wrap around me waist and she starts planting tickpy kisses on the back of my neck "stop it!" I giggle tilting my head to the side "your going to make me burn myself'. She ties my hair up in a bun as I dish up the meal onto two plates "I can't wait to get married to you my beautiful fiancé" she smirk against my cheek "I can't wait to become an Olsen" I smile widely earning a soft kiss "I can't wait to call you mine forever and have baby Olsens". We sit down at the table and start eating "well when do you think we should book our appointment? If your really that desperate" I smirk bitting into a potato "whenever you want to". Leia lays in her second bed that's in the dining room "well you need to catch up on sleep first and we need to look into it and see what we can do-" "I've already done that. I did research with Scarlett when we were waiting for the plane. The best we found was a bone marrow retrieval because it can be made into sperm and that way the baby would be genetically both of ours" the side of my mouth turns upwards "you did research? Your so cute" "anyway what do you think?" "I think it's a good idea but your having the retrieval, that's what we agreed on" she nods and cuts up her beef "true but your having the egg retrieval then. The embryo will form before it's placed back inside of you" I nod and pour water into my glass "okay, I don't mind. Anything to have a baby I'm happy with" Lizzie smiles softly and holds my hand from across the table "we'll get our baby. Whenever and however it happens" I nod at her encouragement and smile softly.
