Chapter 2: A Night With Elliot
“Are you sure your gonna be alright” Elliot cautiously said. He had finally gotten all his paperwork done and now him and Livia were headed to his house to catch dinner with the kids.
“Yah I’m sure, are Dicky and Lizzy going to be there?”
“Yes, but Kathy says they have a lot homework so you can’t bother them, understand? Livia nodded. They pulled into the drive way and Livia couldn’t help but do a sorta skip/run to the door and she there waited for Elliot to come and walk in first. Elliot unlocked and opened the door. and walked and in and saw Kathy with Eli in the kitchen making dinner.
“ Hey hon I’ve been waiting to hear your voice all day.” Elliot said.
“Oh hello there Livia,” Kathy said glancing past Elliot. “ Elliott didn’t tell me that he was bringing you”.
“ Yeah, sorry about that it was a little last minute, Cabot had some important clients that aren’t exactly totally excepting to things the way we are” He said slightly glancing at Livia. Livia though wasn’t listening she had already wondered into the kitchen and was looking to see what was cooking.
“ Are you making mashed potatoes there my favorite!” Livia asked excitedly
“ You bet and mac&cheese and hotdogs” Kathy replied
“Yum I love your cooking Mrs. Stabler.”
“Oh Livia you don’t have to call me that.”
“Oh..uh... sorry...mam’m”
“ Kids, dinners ready!” Kathy called out. Livia had graciously offered to help with the mashing of the mashed potatoes.
“OK everyones place is set and I left your plate in the kitchen Livia..”
“Um....... Mrs. Stabler I was wondering...well maybe......if its ok with you.....could I sit at the table.” Livia asked
“Oh Livia I’ve been waiting to hear you say that for almost two years of course you can, I mean you are practically part of the family now!” kathy said relieved. “Go into the closet and pull out another chair.”
“Yes mam’m” Livia said. Livia pulled the chair out and dragged it to the table. Kathleen was just walking in typing on her hot pink cell phone. “Wow, Kathleen thats a really pretty phone is it yours, I thought only grown ups could have phones, do you know how to add fractions because I kinda need some help with my math problems, because I missed my teacher explaining it because I had to sit in the hall because I was talking in class, AND guess what I’m going to sit at the table tonight and i’m so exited”
“Well alright everyone lets eat” Kathy said as everyone came to the table.
“Oh, Livia your going to be eating with us this is great!” Elliot said beaming. So then everybody proceeded to sit, including Livia, and until now Livia had been able to kind off fake knowing how to sit at the table but she really had no idea what she was doing. There was a bunch of stuff that she had never seen before like these metal sticks, but none of the less she wanted some mac&cheese so she proceeded to pick them up with her fingers.
“ Livia use your silverware” Elliot said.
“ My...My what?” Livia stuttered.
“The utensils at the side of your plate, honey” Kathy said a little bit more reassuringly. Livia frantically looked to Kathleen for help and slowly trying to copy Kathleen, she picked up the silverware at the side of her plate. Though it was not nearly as easy as it looked. She could tell by the way everyone was looking at her that she probably wasn’t doing it very well, and the fact that she was dropping them every 5 seconds probably didn’t help.
“ Livia do you even know how to use silverware” kathy asked with a hint of shock in her voice.
“ Well..... at the place that I was before I was with Mistress Jocelyn they always just gave me my food in a dog bowl, and when I was with mistress jocelyn she just never offered me any and since I wasn’t aloud to speak I guess I never asked...” Livia said
“Oh well then we didn’t mean to put you on the spot like that, and tomorrow we’ll talk to Miss. Nancy about the best way to go about teaching you” Elliot said.
