A/N: That's Why I'm Here by Kenny Chesney.
Summary: Olivia comes home and Elliot goes off on her.
Olivia walks into the precinct and gives hugs to everyone. Elliot comes in to the bullpen from the interrogation room and sees her standing there. He rushes towards her and throws a chair off to the side to get to her. Fin steps in front of her to protect her from the obviously drunk man.
Later that day after Olivia had gone home and Elliot had finished up his work he went to her apartment. She opened the door reluctantly. He frowned and apologized to her for earlier.
No I ain't had nothing to drink
I knew thats probably what you'd think
If I dropped by this time of night
She gave him an ultimatum where if he would get some help she would talk to him then.
Remember way back when
I promised you I'd drop in
At one of those meetings down at the Y
He sat there and heard everyone's name and why they were there. When they got to him he smiled at the thought of Olivia. "My name is Elliot and I am here because I love my kids and my best friend."
Well, they started talkin bout steps you take
Mistakes you make
The hearts you break
And the price you pay
I almost walked away
You could hear a pin drop
When this old man
Stood up and said I'm gonna' say it again
Like I do every week
For those who don't know me
It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
Elliot looked at the man in awe and took a picture of Olivia out of his wallet.
This ole boy stood up in the aisle
Said he'd been living a life of denial
And he cried as he talked about wasted years
I couldn't believe what I heard
It was my life word for word
And all of the sudden it was clear
A tear fell down Elliot's cheek.
It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
Olivia walked into the hall where they were about to begin the meeting. Elliot looked at her and then to his kids who walked in behind Don, John and Fin. Elliot stood up and all attention was towards him.
I know for us it may be too late
But it would mean the world to me
If you were there when I stand to say
It's the simple things in life
Like the kids at home and a loving wife
That you miss the most, when you lose control
And everything you love starts to disappear
The devil takes your hand and says no fear
Have another shot, just one more beer
Yah, I've been there, that's why I'm here
Oh, I've been there, that's why I'm here
Elliot walked over to Olivia and gave her a hug. She reached up to his face and pulled him into a kiss.
