Chapter 17

"We are gonna miss you, Liv." Joy spoke as she hugged me. I let out a small sigh and frowned.

"Make sure you take care of yourself, Joy. And if you need help with your ex, just call me." I replied, and she nodded.

"Take care of that baby!" Joy laughed, and I smiled.

"I plan on it!" I exclaimed.

I picked up my bag and walked out towards the lobby. Elliot and Eli were standing outside, and I got my bracelet removed, and then they let me walk through.

"Liv!" Eli exclaimed, and I smiled as we approached each other. I hugged him and then kissed the top of his head.

"How have you been, Eli?" I questioned, and he smiled.

"I've been okay. I've missed you so much." He spoke, and he hugged me tightly, and I laughed.

"I've missed you too. I can't wait to get home." I admitted, and Elliot looked at me with intense love in his eyes.

"Well, lets get you home, babe."

Once we got home, Eli and Elliot got lunch ready, and I went and showered. I was still amazed at how much better I felt. Being home with my boys made me feel so much better than anything else had.

I pulled on some clothes before heading down stairs. I had also realized that sooner rather than later I would have to invest in some bigger clothes, because my normal ones are getting snugger, but it's a good sign. The baby is growing like it's supposed to.

"Liv, can you get the pizza out of the oven?" Eli asked as soon as I entered the kitchen.

"Dude, can't you give her some time to settle into life again without you asking for help?" Elliot teased, and Eli rolled his eyes.

"I can do whatever you need done. I'm just happy to be back to my old life." I spoke, and Elliot wrapped his arms around me before I could help Eli.

He held me close and gently kissed my neck, as he ran his hands over my stomach.

"I love you." He spoke, and I smiled.

"I love you too."

+++

"I love you more than words can describe." Elliot breathed, as we laid in bed together. His arms were wrapped around my body and I was slowly falling asleep.

"I love you too." I yawned, and he laughed.

"This is your first time home in three months, and you want to sleep instead of doing other more enjoyable things?" He asked, and I kissed his chest gently before yawning again.

"Maybe once I get more energy." I spoke, and my eyes started to close.

"Why don't we discuss our baby." He spoke, and I opened my eyes slowly, before sitting up slightly.

"What do you wanna discuss?" I asked.

"Everything." he spoke, and I yawned.

"Maybe if you had a few things in mind already, I would, but I'm exhausted." I spoke, and he laughed.

"Come on. I just want to talk to my wife." He beamed, and I sat up and ran my hands through my hair.

"Alright. I get sick every once and awhile still, and I don't get panic attacks often, and my depression is better, and I'm excited to be a Mom." I spoke, and he smiled.

"Good!" He exclaimed, before pulling me into his arms as he sat up. He started to kiss me, and I pushed him away and groaned.

"You are one sick man!" I exclaimed, and he laughed.

"I'm sorry, I just really wanted to kiss you."

+++

Two months after I got out, Elliot and I had a huge appointment to attend. I was nervous because I was worried about finding out that something might be wrong with the baby.

"Are you ready for this?" Elliot asked, as we sat in our car.

"I'm nervous." I breathed, and he frowned.

"Baby, there is really nothing to be worried about. The baby moves and you are starting to feel better. That is good."

"Elliot, I'm still nervous. We lost our last baby, and I can't lose this one." I whimpered, and he leaned over and kissed my temple gently.

"We aren't going to lose this baby." He spoke, before gently touching my stomach. I bit my lip and looked down at my hands.

"Eli will hate me if I lose it."

"He could never hate you, Liv. You've been a mother to him since Kathy sucks at being a mother."

"Yeah." I sighed. We sat in silence, and then he turned off the car.

"Come on, lets go find out what we are having."

+++

"Liv!" Eli exclaimed as he came running into the apartment after school. Elliot was in his office working, and I was doing catch up on some stuff from work. I had a lot of stuff I had to go through before they would even consider bringing me back.

"Hey, Eli." I smiled, and he ran over and jumped onto the couch next to me.

"So, what did you find out?" He asked, and I shrugged.

"Maybe we should wait till your father is done." I spoke, and he groaned.

"Liv, come on! Do I get another brother or sister?" He whined, and shook my head.

"We are waiting for your father." I stated, and Eli got up to try and get his father out here quicker.

After about an hour, Elliot came out while Eli worked on homework.

"Alright, finally!" Eli exclaimed.

"Finally what?" Elliot teased, as she sat down next to me. He kissed me gently, before looking at Eli.

"Can you tell me what my sibling is gonna be?"

"Oh, I guess that could make you anxious." Elliot laughed, before kissing my cheek.

He reached onto the table and grabbed the envelop that held the sonogram picture. Eli stared at us angrily.

"IT WAS THERE THE WHOLE TIME?!" He screamed, and we laughed. Elliot opened it and then handed the picture to Eli.

"It just looks like an alien." He admitted.

"Its a little boy alien, duh." Elliot replied, and Eli looked at us with wide eyes.

"Really?" He questioned, and Elliot smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. I hope you are fine with that." I smiled, and Eli jumped up and hugged me.

"I'm so excited, Liv! I can't wait!" He exclaimed, and I hugged him back and smiled.

Finally I feel happy.
