Sorry for any mistakes :(

  I melted in Elliot's arms. His lips caressed mine and made me feel safe even if we're weren't. I wanted to forget about everything and lean on his shoulder.

He was my rock and he kept me strong. He was the love of my life. I was going to marry him. He is the father of our son.

Once we had got to the safe house I was immediately hit with memories. I still remember the night only a few years ago where I had patched up his bullet wound. I doubt normal 17 year olds have to go through that.

I still remember the night I let him have all of me and it all started here. It was my 18th birthday and it was a memorable one. That activity eventually led to Gavin which I will never forget.

  I hadn't been here in two years. The last night was my memorable 18th birthday. Everything was the same way it was two years ago.

I also remember the not so great memories like when I state here everyday after Elliot found out my secret, that I was Blue Night all along.

  We set up a spot for Gavin to sleep and he went back to sleep quickly once Elliot rocked him a little bit.

  Once he was asleep is when I broke down and Elliot immediately wrapped me in his arms and sat me down on the couch.

  He let me drench his shirt for a while, while I cried.  I didn't have a clue who this was and I didn't know what they were capable of. I didn't know why they decided to show up now, only two years after we left street fighting. I didn't know anything and that scared me.

  Once I calmed down a little and settled down in his arms, he wiped my remaining tears away.

  "What's wrong?" He asked softly.

  "I'm so scared." Were the only words I whispered.

  He nodded in understanding and held me in his arms and made sure he reassured me and whispered in my ear that I was safe.

  I had to believe him because I trusted him and felt safe in his protecting arms.

  He eventually showed his love with his kisses on my wet cheeks, chin, and then eventually in my lips. He rubbed gently on my cheeks as he softly kissed me.

He led me to the mattress that was still here from when I stayed here and softly laid me down. He ran his hands up and down my sides making patter with his thumbs while his lips were connected to mine.

He pulled away to take a breath. His lips left a mark on my forehead, "I love you." He whispered to me.

I smiled up at him softly, "I love you too." I whispered to him. I will never get used to him telling me he loves me.

That began a long night filled with proof that we love each other.

~~~~~

I woke up to the small kisses on me cheek and neck. I felt very relaxed. Elliot let me sleep and got up with Gavin early in the morning.

"Wake up Little Fighter." I heard whispered and a little giggle from Gavin.

I smiled at the sound of our baby boy. He always loved when Elliot called me my special nick name given to me when we first became friends.

I also smiled at the sound of his smooth voice. I will never get tired of him calling me Little Fighter. It makes me feel like I will always be his Little Fighter.

  "I'm getting up." I croaked and stretched out my limbs on the mattress.

  "Okay, I made some coffee for you. It's on the counter when you're ready. I love you babe."  He replied and kissed me on my forehead again.

  "I love you too." I said and grabbed the back of his neck to bring his lips to mine.

  I pecked his lips one last time before he left with Gavin to feed him. He looked so handsome in his "daddy's little man" outfit.

  I smiled at them as they walked into the kitchen. I yawned and finally pulled myself out of the bed and pulled on some clean clothes Elliot left stacked for me.

  I finally felt covered with the clothes on and went into the kitchen to find Gavin with a sour face.  Next thing I knew, the food in his moth was spit out onto Elliot's face.

As soon as Elliot's body stilled like a hard rock and a loud sigh came from his mouth, Gavin smiled widely. I couldn't help but laugh. I don't just laugh, I laughed so hard, tears came to my eyes.

Elliot got up from the chair and wiped his face of Gavin's spot our food. He looked at me still laughing and wiping away the tears.

  "Oh you think this is funny?" He asked smirking at me.

  I nodded my head and barley got out, "Yeah."

  He looked over at Gavin, "Mommy thinks it's funny but daddy does not." 

  I thought it was very sexy when he talked in his stern voice. I bit my lip since I really wanted to go over to him and have a repeat of last night.

  "Come on baby. Mommy will give you the good stuff." I said sweetly to Gavin as started kicking his feet excitingly and babbled happily.

  I grin at his adorableness and grabbed the baby food. I started feeding him and him basically begging for more.

  Elliot said I was just lucky and went to pick up the toys on the floor.

  I just laughed at his moodiness and enjoyed my time with my sweet baby boy.

~~~~~

That night once Elliot put Gavin asleep, he pulled off his shirt and shorts to slide under the blanket in his boxers like he always sleeps. I laid my head on his bare chest and felt content.

I had something on my mind I thought about all day. The day was filled with us playing with Gavin which was really nice, but all day I kept thinking about it.

"Elliot?"

He rand his hand through my hair and kissed my head, "Yeah?"

I sighed and bit my lip because I don't know what his reaction would be. I didn't want him to be mad but I think it is best at this point.

"What's wrong Little Fighter?"

I sighed again, "I was thinking."

He looked down at me, "About?"

"With everything that happened yesterday I feel like I should go to the gym and train a little bit more. While I was fighting whoever it was, I felt a little rusty."

It was silent for a while and his hand stopped and his body went still. I was waiting or his reaction.

"I understand what you mean and if it makes you feel better then, we can ask Sarah and Ricky to watch Gavin tomorrow while we train." His reply came a little while later.

I sighed of relief and squeezed him, "Thank you. I love you."

He kissed my head again, "How much do you love me."

"I don't know how to express how much I love you." I replayed and pecked his bare chest.

"Hmm, I could think of a few things." He said seductively.

I looked up at him and smiled, "Oh really? Why don't you tell me them?" I said and ran my hand up and down his torso softly and slowly.

He groaned and whispered in my ear, "Why don't I just show you?"

I giggled and he flipped me so that I was under him and began showing me just how much he loved me.
