Author's Note: Here we go, my second fanfic for Law and Order: SVU. What can I say; I got inspired so I went with it. This will be a multi-chapter fic; I've only had time to post the first chapter so far. This is post "Cold".

Sweet Little Lies

Kathy strolls happily through the busy mall, a shopping bag on each arm. Today's the first time in forever she's had any time to herself, and she is loving every minute of it. Kathy has had a facial, a manicure, a pedicure, got her hair done, and now she is shopping.

Her next stop at the mall is Bath and Body Works. All of the wonderful fragrances envelop her immediately as she enters the store. First she heads over to the lotions and body sprays. Kathy samples the Enchanted Orchid body mist. It's a very lovely yet strangely familiar scent; however, she cannot place where she's smelled it before. After a moment Kathy heads over to the wall of Wallflowers refills and kits. Much to her surprise she spots a familiar face already checking them out.

"Hey Sharon! It's been a long time! How've you been?"

The other woman turns around, a bit surprised to see Kathy standing behind her.

"Kathy hey! How're you? The kids? Elliot?"

"We're all fine. Elliot's still Elliot; he's still with the 1-6. Is Rob still at the 4-7?"

"Yep, he's still there. He's vying for captain right now."

"Tell him congrats for me. We'll all have to get together for a BBQ. It's been to long Sharon." Kathy continues.

There's a moment of awkward silence. Sharon looks at Kathy oddly as she speaks.

"Sharon, what is it? Is something wrong?"

"You just seem really happy Kathy."

"Um, okay. Why shouldn't I be?"
Sharon hesitates for a moment, looking at the ground then back up at Kathy. She takes a deep breath then continues.

"Kathy, you don't know?"

"Know what?"

"Olivia, Elliot's partner is pregnant. Five months to be exact."

"What? That's great! I'll have to…"

"Kathy, her baby is Elliot's."

Kathy's jaw and shopping bags fall to the floor. She stands there like a deer in the headlights. The other nearby shoppers glance over at the two blondes curiously.

"Sharon, are you serious? How did you find this out?"

"I am serious Kathy. Rob's been giving Cragen a hand since Lake's departure. He's seen Olivia get bigger with his own eyes. Rob says it's obvious Elliot and Olivia have been messing around. Everyone's been talking about it too."

"Oh my god! Sharon, I am going to kill him!"

"Kathy, I am so sorry you had to find out this way. Please, I am so sorry."

"No Sharon, it's not your fault. I am glad somebody told me. Okay, I have to go Sharon. I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"

'Okay Kathy. I'm here for you. Bye!" she calls out to the quickly retreating woman.

NYPD- 1-6 Precinct

"Elliot, come here! Hurry up!" Olivia calls to her partner across their desks.

Immediately he drops the case file he was studying and comes to her side.

"What is it Liv?" he asks curiously.

"Feel this!" she says, taking his hand and placing it over her abdomen.

Olivia is exactly five months pregnant, and it is just beginning to be obvious that she is expecting.

"It's kicking Liv!"

"You mean they're kicking El"

Elliot's eyes go wide as saucers at the realization.

"Twins Liv? Are you serious?"

"Yep. Twins El."

Oh wow, Liv!"

Unbeknownst to them, Kathy is standing in the doorway to the squad room observing this exchange between the partners. She is furious at what she sees.

"Oh wow is right Elliot!"

All eyes turn in shock to Kathy standing in the doorway, anger evident across her face. She marches right up to Elliot and Olivia and stands before them, arms folded tightly across her chest. Meanwhile, Captain Cragen stands in the doorway of his office watching this exchange unfold.

"Five months Elliot and you didn't even think to tell me it's yours!"

"Kathy, please, can we go somewhere else to discuss this?" Elliot pleads.

"What difference does it make Elliot? I'm sure I'm the last one on the planet to know that my so-called husband knocked up his partner!"

An audience of stunned cops is beginning to gather around the three in the middle of the room. Upon hearing the part about Elliot being the father, Cragen storms from his office to confront his detectives.

"Nope Kathy, it looks like I'm the last one to know! Elliot, you and Liv never said anything about you being the father! Elliot you said the father was the reporter Liv had been seeing!" Cragen says to his detectives.

"It could be sir. Or it could be Elliot's. We won't know until a paternity test can be done" Liv tells her superior.

The three other sets of eyes fall upon Olivia. She looks at the seething Cragen and furious Kathy, afraid for her life. Then, she looks at Elliot. He looks just as scared as she. The squad room falls deadly silent. Everyone in the audience stands frozen, gawking at the four in the middle of the room holding their breaths waiting for what's to come next.
