Chapter 1: The Beginning

-Elliot's House-

Elliot was sitting on his couch when there was a knock on his door. It was Liv with Julia. It was Elliot's weekend with Julia. When he went to open the door, Julia jumped into his arms. "Hi daddy" said an excited Julia. "Hi princess, how are you doing?", "I'm doing good, what is there to eat?" asked Julia. "Haha, I see someone hasn't eaten, there's some chicken in the fridge, just heat it up.", Julia left to go eat and Olivia started talking to Elliot, "She missed you a lot! Have her home by 6 on Thursday, I might not be home in time, but Brian should be there." said Olivia. "Okay." He said annoyed, after Olivia left, leaving Julia and Elliot by themselves.

"Julia, what do you want to do today? We have till Thursday to ourselves!" Elliot said happily. "Can we go to the park?" said Julia. "Anything for my princess! Just let me change, then we can go to the park, and maybe ice cream!" "ICE CREAM! Daddy, you're the best!" said Julia while jumping up and down.

The two left, and made their way to the park, where they played around on the playground, and then left to go get ice cream. Julia got strawberry ice cream with rainbow sprinkles, in a waffle cone. Elliot got chocolate ice cream, in a waffle cone. The walked home, while eating their ice cream. Once they got home, Elliot cleaned off Julia and changed her out of her clothes, then tucked her in.

"Goodnight, my princess. Sweet dreams!" "Goodnight daddy." said a half sleeping Julia.

Elliot then went back to his room, and sipped his beer while thinking about Olivia. "Why did we get a divorce? I still love her, I can't believe I let her get away, I just wish things were the same. I miss her."

-Liv's POV-

I'm sitting in bed working on a case, when Brian enters. "Hey babe, whatcha working on?" "Just some case, nothing new." "Well that's boring, how about we do something fun?" says Brian slightly pulling Liv's sleeves down. "Brian, I can't tonight, I have to go to court tomorrow, so I have to work on this." said Olivia while pulling her sleeves back up. "Liv, all you ever do is work. It annoys me, I'm going to the bar!" "Brian!" Olivia shouted, but it was too late, he was already out the door.

Olivia stays in her bed pondering her thoughts. "How did I get like this? Don't get me wrong, I like Brian, but there's no spark like El and I had. Where did our relationship go wrong? We have known each other for 16 years and we were married for 3 years, everybody thought that our relationship was going to last, but yet here, we are divorced. I can't think about this, I'm in a relationship with Brian! But am I happy?"

The both of them had thought all night long, till they both fell asleep, thinking about each other.
