Olivia hadn't had many weekends where she could just relax and that is exactly what she was looking forward to. She rolled over and looked at the clock, 8:16 AM. Noah had let her sleep in, she checked his monitor and could see he was still sleeping in bed. She sighed and smiled. She was content. She was also confused but for the first time she felt it was okay. Life might be able to go on with her being happy. 

She got up to make some coffee and have a little quiet time before Noah woke up. She went over to the window and looked out and smiled again. She did not know what was up wit her. Then she heard a knock on the door. 

She looked through the peephole and saw it was Elliot. What was he doing here she thought worried. "El, what are you doing here?" she said as she opened the door seeing he had a box of donuts. 

"I brought these over for Noah. Hopefully he hasn't already had breakfast. Can I come in?"

"Of course, he isn't up yet and he will love these." As soon as the words came out of her mouth she realized Noah and him had never met. She wasn't sure this was a good start without talking to Noah first. 

As if he could read her mind "Should I stay and meet him or do you want me to wait? I want you and him to be comfortable." he was being genuine and she appreciated that. "You can stay El. It might be hard at first but you brought sweets so that should be a good distraction for him. But you have to answer one question?" she crossed her arms looking into his eyes. 

"OK what is that?" he smirked and crossed his arms as well peering into her big brown eyes. "I cannot have you in my sons life if you are only going to leave suddenly. That is not fair to him." she said speaking sternly. 

"Are you asking if I am going to walk out of your and Noah's life again?" he uncrossed his arms and moved closer to her. "Yes, basically." she said feeling the tension leave her body when he got closer. 

"Liv, I am not planning on going anywhere unless you kick me out of your life. I want to be in your life and in Noah's life too if you allow that. " he put his arms around her waist. He was being bold but he was taking chances lately. "Please don't leave me again El...please don't leave us." She layed her head on his chest and relaxed. His arms around her could not feel more perfect. They would have a long road ahead but she wanted to make an effort. After a few minutes she heard noises coming from Noah's room. "Noah must be up, let me go get him. You wait here with the donuts" she backed out of his arms and went down the hall. His eyes followed her and he couldn't help but think of how beautiful she looked in the morning. And her perfect ass as he watched her walk down the hall. He smiled just thinking about it. 

Olivia brought Noah out and sat him on the counter. "Noah, I have someone I want you to meet." he looked back and forth at Olivia and Elliot. "Noah this is Elliot, Mommy's friend." she motioned over at Elliot. Noah waved but didn't say much. Elliot pulled out a donut covered in sprinkles and Noah's eyes lit up and he started clapping. Olivia smiled at the sighting. "Hi Noah, its good to meet you." Olivia put Noah down so he could eat his donut at the table. She mouthed 'thank you' to Elliot and watched as he walked over to pick up a toy truck and take it over to Noah at the table. 

"Do you like trucks? Because I love trucks." Noah started playing with the truck and they laughed. Olivia was in awe of how well they were doing together. They played and ate breakfast for half an hour. 

"Well I better get going." he started to put on his coat and smiled at Olivia who looked so happy. As she walked him to the door she was almost sad that he was leaving. "Thank you for this Elliot. Noah enjoyed this and so did I." She spoke quietly and when he turned around he kissed her. She did not even try to pull away. She took it all in and he pulled back quickly after realizing Noah was still here. She was biting her lip and smiling. He thought it was the cutest thing. "Ill see you later El. Thank you again" she spoke as she opened the door and he left waving goodbye at her.
