The Baby Plan

Family Reunion & A Mansion

Olivia sighed as she looked at herself in the full length mirror in her room. She ran her hands over her stomach that wasn't getting any bigger.

It was the night of the annual Andrews dinner night, it was her father's birthday today and although she was supposed to be filled with excitement to see her family she couldn't help but feel nervous. She had to tell her family somehow because there was no way she was going to give up the human that was growing inside of her.

"How are you feeling?" She heard a voice ask from the doorway.

It was Noelle, her good friend and roommate. After finding out that she was pregnant she regularly checked up on her.

Olivia turned to look at her. "I'm okay." She smiled lightly at her, putting her hands back to her sides.

Noelle glanced at her stomach and smiled then nodded. "Are you nervous for tonight?"

She moved away from the mirror and sat down on her bed, her hands now sweaty. "Yeah."

"Don't worry. Elliot and Riley is going to be there, you have all the moral support you need."

Olivia nodded, they always attended their family gatherings. They've known them for their whole life which is why they considered them to be apart of the family. They secretly hoped that Elliot would end up with their daughter. It was a constant subject brought up everytime Olivia visited.

"Are you sure you don't want to come?" She asked, hope in her eyes.

Noelle shook her head with a sad smile on her face. "Sorry, honey. I've got work."

"Just quit."

She laughed lightly and rolled her eyes. "Oh, I wish." Her hand went to her lips as she blew her a goodbye kiss. "Tell me everything later."

Olivia nodded. "Take care, okay?"

Noelle had already walked away from the doorway, moving quickly towards the main door of their condo. "Love you!" She shouted before slamming the door shut.

Olivia smiled, she couldn't be more grateful for Noelle. She slowly moved so that she was now laying down on her bed even though she knew that Elliot was on his way to pick her up her eyes slowly closed shut leading to a deep sleep.

"Wake up." She heard a voice tell her while she felt her arm being gently pinched.

Olivia groaned, she knew exactly who it was. There was only one way to wake her up and it was by the pinching of her arms which didn't start to hurt until after she woke up. "Can we not go?" She pouted.

Elliot chuckled. "Riley and I could always go."

It was true, they could have gone without her and it wouldn't be awkward at all. It's happen many times where Elliot or Riley would go as a representative for Olivia and her family wouldn't mind at all, she once thought they loved them more then her.

She nodded. "Sounds good."

"But you have to go." Elliot reminded her. "And Riley's waiting in the car."

Her eyes slowly opened, knowing that it was time for her to get out of bed. She sat up and looked at Elliot with a pout on her face.

He smiled and pinched her cheek lightly. "Stop doing that." Elliot was sitting on her bed but got up once Olivia stopped pouting.

"Alright, let's go. Mama Claire hates it when we're late."

Once Elliot pulled up to her parent's mansion, Riley sighed never getting used to how big the house was. It was was wide and tall, the outside of the mansion had dark brown bricks while the roof had grey tiles. There were about ten windows in total, they were large and white with curtains that were pushed to the sides so you can see some of the inside. Their lawn was a perfect green color with flowers along the sides of the mansion giving it some color. In the front was a fountain that was constantly shooting out water and around the fountain was the driveway which was shaped like a circle with a way to enter and a way to exit. But the most extravagant part of the mansion were the large pillars in front of the house.

"I'm going to have a house like this." Riley smiled as she continued to look up.

Elliot chuckled lightly. As he stopped the car in front of the house, he got out and opened the door for Riley then Olivia. It was another reason as to why Olivia loved him so much, he was such a gentleman. They all walked towards the large door and without having the chance to even knock Olivia's mother flung the door open with a huge grin on her face.

"You're all finally here!" She clapped her hands happily as she gave them all a tight hug.
She then moved aside to let them in, closing the door behind them.

"Hey mom." Olivia greeted, nervousness already building up inside of her.

Claire smiled and kissed her forehead lightly. "Hey honey, it's so good to see you." Then she turned to looked at Riley and Elliot, the grin was still plastered on her face.

"You just keep getting prettier and prettier." She pinched Riley's cheeks.

She let out a quiet groan. "Thanks, Mrs. Andrews."

"Just call me mama Claire, alright?" She corrected her.

Riley nodded, every time she was here Olivia's mother always reminded her that she wanted to be called mama Claire but Riley never did.

"And you!" Claire gushed as she looked over at Elliot who was ready to run away from her pinching fingers. "Look how handsome you are!"

And with that, Elliot moved away. "Thanks, mama Claire." He walked quickly towards the room where all the guys hung out they all called it the man cave, Elliot knew that he was safe there.

Suddenly, a little girl ran towards Olivia with her arms wide open. Her name was Jade, it was Olivia's niece who she loved dearly.

"Auntie Liv!" Jade gushed happily.

Olivia smiled and picked her up, kissing her face repeatedly. "I miss you so much!" She told her as she continued to kiss her.

"I miss you too!" She replied happily as she giggled.

"Riley, my love? Is that you?" A familiar voice questioned, they all knew who it was due to the lisp and childish voice he had. It was James, Olivia's nephew. He was five years old and in love with Riley ever since he turned one.

They all giggled as he walked towards Riley who was trying not to laugh either.

"Hi James." She bent down to be the same height as him.

He frowned as she did that. "Just a second." He told her, walking back to the kitchen. James walked back out with his mother that was carrying him. It was Odette, Olivia's older sister.

Olivia smiled, she was home once again.
