OG | Love Is Blind (One Chicago)

Chapter Five

It gets to the end of the day. All of the paperwork has been finished, filed and sent to the courts. Everyone from intelligence and Andy and Ryan are sat at a table in Molly's.

'Don't you want to be getting to Callum and the kids?' Ryan asks Elizabeth.

'I'm only staying for about an hour.' Elizabeth states. Someone then covers her eyes with their hands.

'Guess who.' She hears. She turns around and sees Mouse smiling at her. 'Mousey!' Elizabeth exclaims. She stands up and hugs her brother.

'Hey.' Mouse laughs.

'Why didn't you tell me you were coming home?' Elizabeth asks as they part.

'I wanted to surprise you.' Mouse smiles. 'I'm only here for a week. I was hoping I could stay with you, Callum and the kids.'

'Of course, you know that you don't need to ask.' Elizabeth replies. 'Now, you better go and say hello to your best friend before he comes over and beats your ass.' Mouse walks over to Jay and they share a brotherly hug.

'You know you're going to be on babysitting duty for the next week, right?' Jay tells Mouse.

'Yeah.' Mouse nods laughing. Jay then introduces Hailey and Mouse to each other before Mouse catches up with all of his friends. Once he's had a quick catch up, he returns to his sister. 'So, are you going to your big brother a drink or what?'

'Very subtle.' Elizabeth laughs. 'Come on.' They both walk up to the bar and order the next round of drinks.

.

It has been an hour. Mouse and Elizabeth are finishing off their final drinks. Elizabeth turns to her brother.

'We better get going.' Elizabeth tells him. 'Callum starts his new job tomorrow and I want to get back to my babies.'

'Of course you do.' Mouse laughs. They both say goodbye to their friends and walk out of Molly's.

'My car is just around the corner.' Elizabeth tells him. 'Where are your bags?'

'This is it.' Mouse motions to the backpack on his left shoulder.

'Really?' Elizabeth raises an eyebrow.

'I'm only here for a week remember.' Mouse replies. 'I didn't want to bring too much.'

'Huh.' Elizabeth takes a moment. 'That actually makes sense.' She adds.

'Yeah, well, unlike someone, I don't need two suitcases when I go and see someone for a week.' Mouse smirks.

'Come on.' Elizabeth sighs. 'Before I decide to deck your ass.'

'Awe, love you too, baby sis.' Mouse grins as he puts his arm around her shoulder.

'Get off.' Elizabeth laughs as she playfully pushes her brother away. 'You know I could beat you in a fight. How many times did I give you a black eye as a kid?' 

'Yeah, yeah.' Mouse huffs. 

.

Twenty minutes later, Elizabeth is walking into her apartment with Mouse behind her. She motions for him to be quiet. 

'I'm home!' Elizabeth shouts. 

'Mommmyyyy!' They hear Aaron shout. They hear his little feet banging against the floor as he runs to them. As he turns the corner, he stops as soon as he sees Mouse. 'Uncle Mousey!' Aaron runs towards Mouse and hugs him. Mouse picks him up. 'I've missed you!'

'I've missed you too, bud.' Mouse grins as he puts his nephew down. 

'Where's my hug?' Elizabeth asks offended.
