Disclaimer: I do not own Law and Order SVU, because if I did, Dani would never have exsisted.

This takes place right after Olivia comes back.

Chapter One: Almost Civil

Olivia took a deep breath and closed her eyes trying to stop thinking about Elliot. She looked at her alarm clock which read 3:56 am, it had only been two minutes since she last looked, it felt like forever.

She closed her eyes again,

I can't do this anymore. I can't be looking over my shoulder making sure you're okay

Tears fell freely down her face. "El" she whispered out softly, "I'm sorry, please come back to me." She knew it was no use, he couldn't hear her.

I know you would've taken the shot

Why did he believe she was even capable of such a vile act? She didn't have the heart to end the life of the only person who truly understood her. She finally came back from Oregon and when she had the heart to return, Elliot was gone and she was stuck with Dani. She hated the damned bitch, and she hadn't even started work with her, let alone formally met her.

She rolled over once more, her brain more clutter than it had ever been in her entire life, and she fell into a fitful sleep.

Later that morning at the precinct

She went into Cragen's office, early and sat down waiting. She thought it'd be best if she didn't see Dani while coming in, or she might punch her face in.

"Good morning captain" she said with a false smile.

"Look, Olivia. I know you are pissy about Elliot leaving, but it was his decision" He gave her, this look that clearly read out be good but she chose to ignore it.

"Pissy!" She exclaimed as Dani walked it "Who said I was pissy. I know it was Elliot's decision, and he had every goddamned right to make it." She was screaming now, but then quietly added, "Even if I didn't know."

Cragen knew there was going to be some sort of outburst at some point, so he decided that now was better than later.

"Olivia, this is your new partner Dani Beck, Beck this is Olivia Benson" he introduced them and they shook hands and said simultaneously,

"Temporary, right"

"Erm…" Cragen was at a loss for words, he expected it out of Olivia, but not Dani. "Yes," he finally said, but not telling Dani that the second Elliot was back, she was being transferred.

A smile lit up Dani's face whilst, Olivia just nodded, "Beck, may I have a word with the Captain for a minute please."

"Sure" she left, with a new bounce in her step, knowing that Elliot was coming back at some point, made her happy. She couldn't stop thinking about that kiss they shared together, and wanted more.

Once she was gone Olivia turned to Cragen.

"Look, I don't give a damn what Elliot says, you have to promise me, the second you know he's back tell me, whether or not he tells you not to." She bit her lip for a second and then said "please captain"

"Okay" she promised and shooed her out of the office.

She left and started to walk over to her desk, but she didn't even get a quarter of the way there before she was being hugged by both Fin and Munch.

"Baby-Girl" Fin said smiling, "It's so good to have you back"

It finally hit Dani, the this was Elliot's 'precious Olivia'.

"Goddammit" she shouted, and they all stared at her.

"What is it Dani?" Munch asked and then held a cup of coffee out to Olivia.

"Umm, nothing" she muttered while Olivia shooed the coffee away.

"I don't drink coffee anymore Munch" she stated and before Munch could ask who Olivia really was Cragen walked out of his office and handed Olivia a pink slip.

"Go" he simply said. Olivia didn't need to be told twice as she grabbed her jacket and ran out. Dani on the other hand took longer and she slowly stood up. She now got to see 'Precious Olivia' in action and was nervous on doing so. She swallowed hard as she slowly pulled on her jacket and walked out. She got to the elevator and saw Olivia there holding it for her.

She went in and they started going down until Olivia stopped the elevator.

"Look" she said "I have not fucking idea what went on between you and Elliot, but I swear to god, you have no idea, who I am and where I come from. I can tell you do not like me, and I don't like you either because the day I came back I saw how you acted towards each other and you and him had the type of relationship it took him and I years to develop and I admit I was jealous, but please don't hate me for whatever reason you do now"

"He always spoke about you like you were a god or something, comparing everything I did, to something you did. And he has this anger management issue that is uncontrollable." Dani said after a moments silence, realizing that Olivia wanted a response.

"I thought he had that under control" Olivia smiled a little, "I guess not"

They both laughed as Olivia restarted the elevator. They knew they could never be friends, but at least they could be civil, for now at least.
