"Son?" Elliot asked confused.

"I adopted him." Olivia explained as she walked toward Alex and Noah.

"Mama. Mama." Noah babbled as he reached his tiny arms towards his mother but Olivia didn't grab him. She stood still staring at the infant in Alex's arms with tears in her eyes.

"Liv?" Elliot asked.

No answer.

"Liv. What is it baby?" He asked again as he walked closer to her.

"He-he...that's the f-first time he's called me mom." Olivia said her voice cracking.

"Mama. Mama." Noah kept babbling, becoming upset.

"That's right baby. That's your mommy." Elliot said as he took the little boy out of Alex's arms. Alex headed toward the kitchen as Olivia walked over to her partn- wait? He isn't her parter anymore. Was he her boyfriend?

"Hey El?" She asked.

"Yeah?" He answered as he made silly faces at Noah.

"Where does this leave us?" She asked.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"I mean us. This." She said as she gestured between the two of them.

"We can be what ever you want to be, Liv. But I really do love you and I want to be with you. I will do anything to make up for all the pain I caused." He said seriously.

"I love you and want to be with you too, El." She said.

"So, where does this leave us, Liv" he asked mocking her.

"It leaves us right where we need to be." Olivia said with a smile.
