Btw this is an AU story so Elliot isn't a cop and neither is Olivia.

There are two things in the way though, her boyfriend who is still after her, and his fiance.

Story: Protection

Chapter 1: The Problem

Olivia sat in the corner weeping with her over dramatic dominant boyfriend standing above her yelling profanities at her, accusing her of eye flirting with the bodyguard at the club.

"You STUPID BITCH! I told you that you're mine and only mine. I don't EVER want to you see you flirting with another guy or even looking at another guy for that matter." Her boyfriend Tony Stewart yelled at her face.

"I'm sorry Tony, but I wasn't even flirting with him" Olivia sobbed in the corner of her living room.

"Yes you were! DO you think I'm stupid or something? I saw you staring straight at him and you acted as if I didn't even exist! You were embarrassing me in front of a lot of people and especially my friends." Tony said furiously raising his voice louder and louder and then he slapped her right across the face.

"Get out." Olivia said calmly and when he tried to approach her, she flinched. "I said GET OUT! NOW!" Olivia yelled and he left her apartment but not before saying, "Don't disrespect me again Olivia and this won't happen again", and then he was gone.

Olivia was use to this behavior, well, use to Tony yelling at her out of jealous rage. Except tonight was the first night that he actually slapped her. She should have seen it coming though. He use to be a great guy, caring, fun, easy to hang with, but sometimes Olivia wanted nothing to do with him, especially when he was upset. As much as she hated him right now, she loved him even more, but each and every day that his rage showed, she loves him a little less. They've been together for 3 years now. Tony was there for Olivia when she lost her mother, and she was there for him when he lost his dad to cancer. She missed Tony; yes he was there, but not technically. He is a completely different person now. He's not that loving or tender anymore. He's rough in sex and only goes for his own pleasure as if he doesn't care for Olivia's.

The knock at the door was the thing that brought Olivia out of her trance. Olivia walked up to her door praying that it wasn't Tony on the other side. She was relieved when she saw her neighbor, also her best friend, Tiffany Harp at the door.

"Hey, I heard shouting. Are you alright?" Tiffany asked in concern.

"I'm okay Tiff. It was just Tony blowing off some steam." Olivia reassured her friend.

"Are you sure because I would hate to-oh my god! Olivia what happened to your face?" Tiffany questioned reaching out to touch Olivia's cheek which was forming a bruise. When Olivia felt Tiff's hand skim across her cheek she winced in pain. "Did Tony do this to you?" Tiffany asked stepping into Olivia's apartment. "See I told you, you should have broken up with him."

"Tiff I love him and it was just an accident. He didn't mean to do it. I pissed him off and I deserved being slapped." Olivia said taking her eyes off of Tiffany's, knowing that she could never lie directly into her eyes.

"You're lying." Busted. "Liv, you don't deserve to be slapped, or to even be treated the way that he treats you. You deserve so much more. Why can't you see that?" Tiffany inquired.

"Blinded by love I guess." Olivia mumbled not sure if Tiffany heard it or not.

"Trust me; you're not in love with him. You just like the idea of being in love. You'll know when you are totally, 100% in love."

"I love you."

"I love you too." Elliot said mumbling around her lips. "Come on. We should get going."

"Where are we going again?" She questioned.

"Nice try Steph, but I didn't tell you and I'm not going to." Elliot smiled.

"Fine." Stephanie grumbled, stomping out of the house with Elliot trailing behind and him carrying his daughter.

Come on, get cleaned up and dressed. We're going out." Tiffany said pushing her friend to her bedroom.

"Where are we going?" Olivia asked confused.

"We are going out to eat since I'm pretty sure you haven't eaten yet. Now, hurry up and get dress. Do no put on any of your jeans."

"What's wrong with my jeans?" Olivia inquired defending her jeans.

"Nothing, but tonight is going to be fancy. Now get dress and I'll meet you back here in thirty minutes." Tiffany said walking out of Olivia's bedroom.

"But Tiff…" Too late. She was already out the door and most likely getting dressed herself.

"Wow…this is a nice place." Stephanie said walking arm and arm with Elliot and Elliot holding his little bundle of joy in his other arm.

"I thought you would like it." Elliot said smiling.

"Name sir?" The host asked.

"It's under Stabler for 3." Elliot said.

"Ah yes, right this way." The host said leading them to a table with a view. "Your waiter will be right with you."

"Thank you…" Elliot said trailing off.

"Hey! I saw that. You were totally checking her out." Stephanie growled as the ladies walked by.

"No I wasn't and I didn't say anything about you checking out the host and the other guys in the restaurant." Elliot grumbled.

"Hey, what can I say? They were cute." Stephanie smirked. She obviously didn't care where her eyes wandered to and whether or not if Elliot saw. She only cared where his eyes wandered to because in her book, he belonged to her and no one else.

"Did you see that guy? He was totally checking you out Liv." Tiffany smirked as the two ladies sat at their table. "And if you ask me, he isn't that bad looking."

"He was not checking me out and if he was, why would he be when he has a girlfriend?" Olivia questioned.

"Maybe because she probably is a bozo and isn't right for him."

"Oh really, then why did he just propose to her?" Olivia questioned. "So much for not being right for each other."

"He doesn't love her. I can see it in his eyes and she obviously doesn't love him otherwise her eyes wouldn't be wandering and she wouldn't be looking at his daughter in disgust. She obviously hates kids so their engagement won't last long."

"What does her hating the kid have to do with them being together?" Olivia asked.

"Well, you can tell by the way that he looks at his child that he loves her to death and would do anything for her. She obviously hates the girlfriend so sooner or later she's going to throw a fit and then her dad will dump the girlfriend." Tiffany said smiling.

"Yea well, that little girl is so innocent and precious. Her daddy just wants the best for her." Olivia said sadly.

"Liv what's wrong?" Tiffany asked sensing her friend's sadness.

"Nothing…well…do you think that me and Tony will ever get married and have kids?"

"God I hope not." Tiffany said without thinking then cringed when she realized what she said and saw Olivia get furious. "Liv I didn't mean that."

"Why can't you just be happy for me? I found a guy that I love and you always put him down like he's evil or something." Olivia said angry, her face red, and tears falling from her eyes. "You know what? Just forget it, it doesn't matter." Olivia said grabbing her purse and walking out of the restaurant.

"Wow…what a show." Elliot said observing the interaction between Olivia and Tiffany along with the rest of the restaurant.

"Will you stop staring at her? You're not going to marry her. You proposed to me, remember?" Stephanie said pissed off at her fiancé just to be pissed off.

"Yes I remember." Elliot stated irritated.

"And keep that in mind."

Olivia was so angry at Tiffany. She just wanted her friend to be happy for her. Olivia knew she was somewhat harsh to Tiff, and Tony was always putting her down, but she didn't care. She loved Tony and Tony loved her. That was the only thing that was important to Olivia, Being loved.

Olivia walked into her apartment slowly, unaware of the guest that was sitting on her couch.

"Where have you been?" He said making Olivia jump out of fear.

"Jesus Tony, you scared the crap out of me." Olivia said holding a hand to her chest to catch her racing heart beat.

"Where have you been?" Tony repeated not acknowledging that he heard her comment.

"I was out." Olivia said setting her purse down on the coffee table.

"With who?" Tony spoke angrily.

"Tiffany."

"Then why are you all dressed up?"

"Because it was part of the dress code at the restaurant."

"Don't lie to me! You went out with another guy didn't you?" Tony questioned, his face turning red and clenching his fist.

"No I swear!" Olivia yelled. "It was just me and Tiffany at a restaurant alone. I love you Tony, you have to believe me." Olivia begged and Tony calmed down a little.

"Okay, I believe you." Tony said bringing his lips down on Olivia's and she moaned, but not from pleasure, from pain. He was nibbling hard on her lip which was drawing blood.

"Um, Tony? Would you ever want a baby?" Olivia asked nervously once her lips were separated from his.

Tony laughed at the question for a bit then answered. "No." He chuckled then his face turned from pure laughter to anger. "Why? Are you pregnant?"

"No I'm not pregnant. It was just a question." Olivia said.

"I'm not paying for any god damn abortion!" Tony yelled paying no attention to Olivia's comment. "Well just have to get rid of it our selves now won't we." Tony smirked and backed Olivia up into a corner while she shivered in fear.

"I'll be right back; I have to use the restroom." Stephanie said getting up from the table and going to the ladies room.

Elliot nodded his head in acknowledgement and continued his meal with his daughter until she spoke up.

"Daddy?" She questioned with her innocent blue eyes.

"What is it Lizzie?" He asked giving her his full attention.

She got out of her children, walked over to her father and plopped herself right into his lap. "Why was she crying?" she asked curiously.

"Who pumpkin?" Elliot asked running his hand through her little curls.

"The lady that ran out of the restaurant?"

"I think she was just upset at what her friend was telling her."

"Is she going be okay?"

"Yea I think so pumpkin." Elliot said.

"We should ask her friend if she okay." Lizzie said sweetly.

"Lizzie I don't think that is such a good-" Elliot trailed off because his daughter jumped out of his lap and ran to the lady.

"Excused me. Is friend gonna be okay?" Lizzie asked the lady.

"Lizzie. I don't think it is right for you to be poking your head into other people's business." Elliot said sweeping his daughter up into his arms.

"It's okay." The lady smiled at Elliot and turned her attention to Lizzie. "I think she is going to be okay. She's just having a bad…Excuse me for a second." Tiffany said reaching into her purse and taking out her ringing cell phone. "Hello?"

Elliot watched the conversation go on between Tiffany and who-ever she was talking to. Her facial expression was white as a ghost when she ended the call.

"Is everything okay?" Elliot inquired really concerned.

"Um no…my friend that I was with...was attacked at her home and now she's at the hospital."
