The Baby Plan

"Are you okay?" Elliot asked Olivia.

She was holding her back as she leaned against the bed, agony was on her face. "My back hurts."

He made his way to her and touched her back softly. "Can I do anything for you?"

Her hands pointed towards the middle portion of her back, her lips pouting in the process.

A chuckle left his lips as he stood behind her and gently pushed his fingers into the spot she was pointing at.

"Harder." She demanded.

His pressure went deeper into her back, hoping that wasn't too hard but just enough to make the pain go away. "Is this okay?"

Her eyes rolled back in happiness, a look of satisfaction was on her face as a moan left her lips.

"What are you guys doing?" They heard a stern voice at the doorway.

They both turned around to see Mark standing there with a concerned expression.

"My back was really hurting and Elliot was just massaging it, daddy." Olivia rolled her eyes. "Don't worry."

He let out a sigh of relief and nodded. "Come downstairs, the whole family is here." And with that he turned to walk back down stairs.

Olivia raised an eyebrow, recently the family has been together a lot. It was quite unusual since they were all such busy people but Olivia didn't want to assume since she avoided her family like they had a disease once she moved away on her own, a lot could have changed during that time.

Elliot waited for by the door, knowing that even going down the stairs she was out of breath.

Once they made their way to the dining room
table, they said their hellos and sat down.

"So what's this news I hear that Riley has a boyfriend?" Claire asked with a teasing smirk on her face, she was looking at Riley.

James frowned.

She blushed. "He's not my boyfriend."

James then beamed, hearing that.

Elliot smiled in agreement. "The deal was that he had to court her first."

"Whats courting?" James asked once he raised his hand.

"Well, courting is usually done for couples with the goal of getting married." Mark started. "But in the case of Riley, this boy has the goal of being her boyfriend. He must get to know her first and her family, give her time and he must make an effort to show that he is worthy."

James scowled and placed a spoonful of soup in his mouth. After he finished swallowing, he raised his hand once again. "Did Uncle Elliot court Auntie Liv?"

They all looked at both of them.

Their eyes glanced over at one another, hoping that either one of them would answer.

"Well...No." Elliot finally spoke up.

Jade gasped. "If you didn't court Auntie Liv than Riley's friend doesn't need to either."

Worry washed over Elliot, he didn't want Riley to think of any ideas to get out of Alexander courting her. "But-"

"It's different, Jade. Elliot already knows Liv and our family, he basically is family and he gives her a lot of time too." Owen interrupted, seeing Elliot's sudden reaction to Jade's reply. "And he makes an effort all the time so he didn't need to court her."

"They're an exception, honey." Paul added.

She thought about the situation a bit then nodded.

Once they finished eating they remains sitting at the dining table still conversing. James and Jade were already out of the room, playing. Riley followed after them to watch.

"The whole family is coming over tomorrow." Mark warned them. "And when I say whole family I mean the whole family, it's going to be huge."

"Some even took the airplane to come over." Claire looked over at Elliot and Olivia. "Once they heard you were pregnant they cleared their schedule to come and they're ecstatic to meet Elliot."

"Oh." He replied, the pressure was on once again.

Olivia rested her hand on her belly, she wasn't too focused in the conversation. The only thing she could think about was her ultra sound and what her baby looked like for now, it filled her with joy.

Claire noticed the look on her daughter's face and realized that it was already 5 months. She knew what this month held when it came to hormones. "So, honey. How are you feeling?"

Her thoughts abruptly stopped and she looked at her mother. "I'm feeling okay."

"Do you feel...I don't know-horny?"

Elliot's eyes grew large at the word.

Owen groaned, covering his ears. "Mom, don't say that in front of us."

Mark did the same. "Oh dear, this is a bad conversation to be apart of."

Claire rolled her eyes. "Would you two grow up." She smiled as she looked at Elliot and Olivia. "It's natural."

She suddenly felt her cheeks burn from from
embarrassment. Her eyes peeked over at Elliot to see his reaction, he was also blushing intensely.

"Don't be shy." Odette giggled. "When I had James, oh man. It was crazy."

Owen suddenly made gagging sounds.

Mark still had his hands over his ears, he even closed his eyes.

"Are you?" Claire asked.

Olivia bite down on her lip, times when she did wake up in the middle of the night and felt a certain way towards Elliot filled her mind.

"Elliot needs to know so he can help out." Odette chirped as she wiggled her eyebrows.

"Okay, I'm going to hang out with the kids." Owen stood up and basically ran out of the dining room.

"I guess so." Olivia muttered quietly.

Elliot ran a hand through his hair, an awkward chuckle leaving his lips. "Well then."

"We all know what's happening tonight." Odette announced in a jokingly matter.

"Not in my house." Mark frowned, removing his hands away from his ears and opened his eyes to flare at Elliot.

His eyes were large, it wasn't a plan of his to do anything with Olivia. "N-no Mr. Andrews-"

"Honey, it's okay." Claire placed a hand on her husbands shoulder in order to comfort him.

"Don't worry, daddy. It's Elliot, he would never-"

"You did it before." Odette interrupted. "It will happen again."

Olivia glared at her older sister. "Shut up."

"You can trust me, Mr. Andrews. It won't happen." Elliot assured him with a smile on his face. It really wasn't going to happen.

He nodded. "Very well."

Paul nudged Elliot and chuckled lightly. "Now you know how Alexander felt the other night."
