Olivia sat in the squad room at her desk across from Elliot. Elliot was reading over some papers looking really stressed out.
"El, what's up?" Olivia asked. She could tell something was up.
"Nothing." Elliot said.
Suddenly, Elliot's phone rang. He answered it.
"What?...Ok I'll be there….Yes I have them." He then hung up the phone.
Olivia watched as Elliot walked to Cragen's office and leave moments later.
"Did anyone else notice Elliot acting different lately?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, maybe he isn't getting enough sleep." Fin said.
Olivia got up and went to Cragen's office and walked in.
"Don? Can I talk to you?" Olivia asked.
"What is it Liv?" Cragen asked.
"Do you know what's going on with Elliot?" she asked him.
Cragen looked confused. "He didn't tell you?"
Olivia shook her head.
"He and Kathy are getting a divorce. It's because of all the reasons they got a divorce before." Cragen told her.
Olivia stood there in shock.
"I can't believe he didn't tell. Well, he really didn't want everyone to know. Today they are signing the last of papers; the divorce is going to be finalize today." Cragen told her.
"Are they splitting custody of the kids?" Olivia asked.
"Elliot said they were." Cragen said.
"Thanks for telling me this Cap." Olivia said.
"No problem, just don't tell anyone else." Cragen said.
"Don't worry I won't." Olivia said.
Olivia walked back to her desk.
"So?" Munch asked.
"Fin's right, he's tired. He just asked to go home early." Olivia lied.
At the end of the day, Olivia went back to her apartment. She ordered Chinese food and while she waited, she got changed into sweats and a NYPD shirt. When her food got there, she started eating and watching T.V. When she was half way through a take out box, she set it down since she was full. Then she heard the door buzzer go off. She walked up and pressed the button.
"Who is it?"
"Liv, it's me. Let me in." Elliot's voice said.
Olivia pressed the button again allowing Elliot to enter the building. It was almost 10, what was Elliot doing here?
Olivia's thoughts were interrupted when she heard Elliot knock on the door. She opened it.
"El, its ten minutes to 10." Olivia said.
"I know, did Cragen tell you anything?" Elliot asked.
Olivia nodded.
"Sorry I didn't tell you before; I didn't want you to worry." Elliot said.
"I'm worried now since you showed up at my door." Olivia said.
"Yeah about that, since the divorce is now finalized. Kathy threw me out." Elliot said.
"Elliot." Olivia said letting him come in.
"She's letting me pack up my things up later, but right now she wanted me out since we're no longer husband and wife." Elliot told her.
"I didn't know where else to go. So I came here." He added.
Olivia didn't know what to say. So she just reached out and hugged him.
"You're welcome to stay here as long as you want." Olivia smiled.
"Thanks Liv." Elliot smiled.
"No problem. I ordered too much Chinese food, if you're hungry." Olivia told him pointing towards the food.
Elliot smiled. They sat down on her couch and Elliot started eating.
"You had a rough night. I'll sleep on the couch; you can sleep in my bed." Olivia told him.
"Liv, its fine. I've been sleeping on the couch during the divorce. So the couch is fine. You have your bed." Elliot told her.
"You sure?" Olivia asked.
"Yes, I'll feel bad if you sleep on the couch." Elliot told her.
"Ok." Olivia said knowing Elliot could be stubborn.
"Well, I better get to bed now. You know work tomorrow," Olivia said, "You should probably take the day off."
"No." Elliot said.
"El, you just got divorced. You need a day off." Olivia said.
"How about you take a day off too since you're my partner." Elliot said.
"I don't need a day off, you need a day off," Olivia said, "Cragen will understand."
"Fine." Elliot said knowing he wouldn't win.
"Oh can you tell the others about the divorce tomorrow?" Elliot asked.
"Sure. Night El." Olivia said as she hugged him.
"Night." Elliot said.
Olivia walked off to her bedroom. As soon as she was in her bedroom, Elliot laid down on her couch and quickly fell asleep.
