After the town house incident

Six

Liv was discharged from the hospital and Elliot had insisted on driving her home.
Olivia takes out her phone.
"Hey Lucy... Yeah I'm fine thank you...I really owe you one!...yeah... Well I'm on my way back to the apartment now so...yeah..yeah okay....okay....bye" she hangs up the phone as Elliot pulls up at the apartment. Liv opens the door and picks up her bag. Elliot runs around the car and takes the bag out of her hands.
"Let me get that" he says smiling.

They reach the apartment and go inside.

Just as OCD as when I left. Everything is in place.
He thought.
"Sit down" she says going to the kitchen.

Knock knock.
Liv walks to the door and opens it.
"Hello Noah. Momma's here now. How are you?" She asks in a kiddy voice taking Noah out of Lucy's arms.
"Thank you so much!" She says
Liv takes Noah into the kitchen and sits him on the work surface. "Noah, baby, you look tired. Shall we get you to bed?" She asks. He frowns, been as he can't speak yet and doesn't understand a word Liv ever says to him.
Elliot sits on the couch staring at the child. His jaw had dropped so much it was practically on the floor. He couldn't quite comprehend what he was seeing and hearing.
"Hey Liv I'm going to head off" Lucy says
"Okay. Again thank you so so much" Liv replies
"Don't even worry about it! Bye" she says leaving the apartment.
"Noah, are you hungry or do you want to go to bed?" She asks
He just frowns.
"Okay baby, come on" she picks him up.
"Ehem!!!" Elliot says from the couch.
"Oh my gosh sorry! Help yourself to like a drink or a snack or what ever is in my fridge!" She says
"That's not what I meant!" He says standing and walking over to them both. He stairs at her with a smirk on his face.
"What?" She asks, really not having a clue.
He raises his eyebrow, like how could she not of got his hints already!?
He looks over at the boy in her arms.
"Oh! Oh my gosh! Elliot this is Noah!" She says
"Hi Noah" he says using the back of his hand to rub his tiny cheek.
"Noah this is Elliot. Can you say that for me baby?" She asks looking at him.
Noah frowns and babbles in baby language.
"Okay I'll take that as a no!" She says with a slight laugh.
"When did this happen?" Elliot asks, feeling like she is holding back.
"Well. About a year ago we had a case about Johny D, he was a sex trafficker and he got a young girl pregnant. She was murdered. And he started a scene in the court room that got him killed along with an officer. The judge was hit and so was another officer. Nick Amaro. My old partner. He left because he got hit in the knee, so he couldn't really stay on the force. Then baby Noah had no family so the judge let me foster him. I finished the adoption paper work a few months ago. He is officially mine now!" She says with a huge smile feeling so proud.
"Wow Liv in so happy for you!" He says.
"I'm going to put him to bed now" she says.
She takes him into his room and puts him in his pjs.
"Night night baby. Mommy loves you very very much" she says. She then kisses his forehead and turns on his night light in the shape of a dinosaur. She leaves the room closing the door.
"Hey" she says walking into the living room. "You can go now. I'm honestly going to be fine" she says.
"I know, I'll see you tomorrow?" He asks
"Erm.. Yeah okay"
