When It All Comes out

Disclaimer-I Own NOTHING!!!!

Chapter 1

Olivia's POV

It has been 3 months since anyone here has even seen me. I'll be surprised if anyone even remembers my name. Well, here goes nothing. I take a deep breath and push the door to the Manhattan Special Victims Unit open. I'm actually relieved, everything seems to be in order, not that I expecting everything to fall apart without me, but I was just worried about everything. Stupid I guess. I recognize so many people from before I left, not many of them see me, and the ones that do just smile at me and continue with what they are doing. I continue walking over to the elevator and press the button and wait for the ding to signal that it is here. I step in and press the floor number that I have pressed a million times before. I feel the elevator getting closer to my stop and suddenly I'm very nervous. Out of habit, I start fixing my hair until I hear the ding to let me know that I have arrived. I take a deep breath and step out, I try to act cool and normal, looks can be deceiving after all. I walk into the squad room and take a look around. I'm home. I see a blonde-headed woman sitting at my desk.

"Hey, Do you know where I can find Detective Stabbler?" I ask

"No, He's in interrogation right now.I'm his Partner Dani Beck. What's your name? I'll tell him you were looking for him." She seems nice, but I don't trust her.

"Oh, no it's fine. I'll just catch up with him later. Thanks though" Suddenly, I hear a familiar voice call my name from behind.

"Liv? Girl is that you?" Fin calls.

I turn around and a smile immediately appears on my face. "Fin! Hey." I say as I go to hug him tightly.

"Damn, you look amazing Liv."

"Thanks. You're not too bad yourself" I say laughing. I defiantly missed him!

"oh my god!" I here someone yell from behind me.

I turn around to see none other than my oldest best friend,Casey.We've known each other since 5th grade.

"Case!" I scream, as we run into each other and hug.

"Wow.Look at you! You look beautiful Liv. How have you been? We've all missed you like crazy!" She says all of this so fast, it all sounds like one word.

"thanks.You too,you dyed your hair! I've missed you guys too, and I've been fine I guess, how about you?" I say as I laugh from her talking so fast.

"Wait. So your..." Dani Beck says before John inturrupts her with...

"Olivia, what are you doing back here?" he asks me as walks toward us.

"awww, now what kind of greeting is that?" I ask smirking.

"Get over here." he says as he pulls me into a hug. "We've missed you around here."

"So I've heard.I've missed you guys too."

"Does Cragen know your here?" Fin asks.

"Capt! Get out here!" John yells.

I see Don open his door and smile. "Olivia, what a pleasent suprise. I didn't know you were back" he says as he comes closer to me,John,Fin and Casey.

"So Liv, you hungry? Bet you haven't had any good New York pizza in a while.I'll order some for all of us"Casey says, her smile still plastered to her face.

"Definatly.I'm going to go clean myself up really quike though while you order, I'll be right back" I say on my way to the womens rest room.

As I walk away, I cant help but to smile at what I hear them say. "I'm so glad she is back." "I know, It seems like its been forever" "This place wasn't the same without her"

While I'm in the rest room, I wash my hands and face. I notice my stomache start to growl,thank God Casey is ordering pizza.I'm walking back and am almost back into the squad room when I hear the voice of the person that I haven't stopped thinking about since I left.Elliot.

"What's going on?" he asks.

"Man have we got a suprise for you!" Fin said happily.

I keep walking untill I reach the threshold of the room.

"and here she is now" Captin says as everyone looks at me.

I freeze where I'm standing, as me and Elliot lock eyes.Damn those stupid butterflies I get whenever he looks into my eyes.I used to be able to control them but that was over three months ago. I should probly do or say something instead of just standing here.

"Liv." he says gently

"hey El" I say coolly.

"What are you doing here?" he asks coldly,not losing eye contact.

"Nice to see you too." I say bitterly.I turn my attention to Casey and ask if I could stay on her couch for the night, since I have no where else to go. Casey, being the amazing friend that she is, tells me that I can stay as long as I need.

The phone rings and Elliot answers it since he it the closest to it.After a few 'uh-huh's and 'okay's he hangs up and says that him and Dani need to go check out a crime scene.He hands her her coat,just like he has done for me hundreds of times before, and they exit the room, but before he leaves, he looks at me and I can see something in his eyes that I dont think I've ever seen before. It almost brings tears to my eyes.

I'm shaken from my thought as I hear Fin begin to speak

"that boys got more issues then half the nut-cases that come through this joint" he says as he shakes his head.

a half hour passes and we are all sitting around John and Fin's desks talking, when the smell of pizza fills the room. "Casey Novak?" a teenage boy asks.

"Right here, How much do I owe you?"

"$25.50" he says as he hands her the two pizzas and bottle of Dr.Pepper.

She lays the pizza on the table and John opens the first box.

"ahhhh, the sweet smell of a real New York pizza" I say as i hand out the paper plates to everyone.

Another twenty-minutes pass, and we are still sitting in the circle we were in earlier talking,the first pizza is gone and we are starting on the second box,

"I cant imagin a better way to spend my first night back in New York,thent this right here" I say before taking a bite from my slice.

Thats when we hear the faint sound of bickering coming from the elevator getting closer.Its Elliot and Dani.Well Duh! They are arguing over her way of handeling children as witnesses.

"I dont care if they cry, I'm gonna get it outta them at all costs.Thats the only way to get what you want outta those whiney brats!"

"No it's not! And the more you scream at them the more scared they get and they less they are willing to talk"

"Well maybe that doesn't work for me"

"Well then maybe this unit is not for you! We deal with kids all the time here,I have four kids of my own so I think I know a little bit more about handeling them then you do!"

"You know what? Your right! This place isn't for me.I'm sure you dont want me here anymore anyway, now that your precious Olivia is back!" She snaps back at him.They are now in the room and I'm standing up trying to figure out what the hell happened to make him this mad at her, well I have an idea, butI mean with the case.

"Wait! What the hell are you talking about?" I ask her in confusion

"You are ALL he talks about! I think I know more about you then I did my own fiannce'! If we have a case about anything,he always tells me about how well you were with the victims.It was the mosy annoying thing in the world if you ask me!" Now, I'm just looking at Elliot for answer to the question in my eyes,if what she was saying was true.He has his head down,looking at his shoes.He looks up at me and I can see in his eyes that everything coming out of her mouth is true.

There is complete silence for a few seconds till she decides to try to start a fight with Elliot again. "And you probly screwed your kids up so much that they are ashamed to call you their father!"

"Hey! Knock it off! Elliot is a great father and an amazing friend, you were lucky to call him your partner."

"If he is so great then why did you leave?"

"I left because he was TOO good! and I was afriad of falling even more in love with him then I already was! That answer your question?Now pack up your stuff and get the hell outta here!" I scream.That bitch is getting on my nerves...oh my god! What did I just say?!?!?!

The intier room is now silent and I realize I did infact just yell that I'm love with my former partner
