Surprises
It was a slow day at the 1-6 precinct and Olivia Benson was sat at her desk filling out the DD5's of her latest case. However she wasn't really concentrating on the work before her, more like daydreaming about her handsome fiancé. If somebody told her 6 months ago she would be happily engaged to her ex- partner and best friend of 12 years, she would have told them they were crazy.
But that's exactly what happened 6 months ago, a year after he left, Elliot Stabler turned up on her door step…
*FLASHBACK*
It was a cold, rainy night and Olivia Benson had just got home after spending the last 48 hours working their most recent case. She entered her apartment, chucked her shoes and coat by the door and proceeded to collapse on the sofa in the living room.
She's not sure how long she was sat there till she dozed off but the next thing she knew was she was getting dragged out of her slumber by a persistent knocking at the door. Slowly, she made her way over to the door not bothering to check who it was and opened it to find…
And there he stood,
Elliot Stabler.
'Hey'He said quietly 'I've missed you'.
Olivia just stood there in absolute shock unable to comprehend that he was actually there after a year of virtually no contact. The only thing she had got was his Semper Fi medallion meaning always faithful. She wasn't sure on what to say whether to be angry or happy that he was there, on her doorstep. While trying to drag herself out of the initial shock she stood there looking over him. The first thing she noticed was that he had been working out. A lot. His muscles where much more defined (if that seven possible) and he looked healthier, more toned. The next thing she noticed was his eyes, they were a lot happier not carrying as much sadness as before.
'Can I come in?' Elliot asked 'I have some explaining to do', this breaking Olivia out of her thoughts. Olivia simply nodded and stepped aside still unable to get her brain to function properly. She closed the door behind him slowly so she could gather her thoughts. Once she turned to face him she was just about functioning properly.
'You've missed me?' She asked, getting angry 'You left me without saying a word, the only thing I get is you're Semper Fi medallion and you come round here saying you've missed me'
'I'm sorry, I was never meant to be out of your life for so long but I just had so much shit to sort out. I shot a kid Olivia that messed me up. I thought you would hate me so I thought it would be best for me to leave and sort my head out before I saw you again. I was so much of a mess that Kathy left me; it was getting so bad that my kids forced me to get help'
Olivia was shocked she hadn't realized how much it had affected him 'I would have helped' she whispered, tears in her eyes 'I thought you trusted me'
'Oh Olivia I do trust you but I thought you hated me' Elliot replied wrapping his arms around her feeling her soft shakes as she sobbed quietly onto his shoulder all the fight draining out of her giving into his embrace 'Going to a psychiatrist really helped me also helped me figure a few things out about us.'
At this Olivia looked up a questioning look in her eyes, 'What things?'
Elliot took a deep breath, 'I love you Olivia, I always have done it's just taken me a while to realize this'
Olivia was shocked; surprised that he shared her feelings thinking he would always be with Kathy. 'I love you to, I always have I've just never said anything because you were with Kathy'…
*END OF FLASHBACK*
Nick Armero looked up to find his partner smiling; something Olivia had been doing a lot in the past few months ever since the famous Elliot Stabler had returned. 'What are you smiling about?' Nick asked.
'Oh…um…nothing' she mumbled sheepishly put her head down to work, the smile still evident on her face.
Suddenly her stomach twisted, making her want to throw up. She shot up from her chair and literally ran to the bathroom just making it before she throw up. This was the 5th time in 2 days that she had to run to empty her stomach contents. She didn't know what was wrong with her, hoping it was just a stomach bug. At that moment Olivia's best friend, Alex Cabot, walked in,
'Oh my God, Olivia, are you alright?' Alex asked hurriedly.
Olivia wiped her mouth with toilet roll 'I'm fine, I think it's just a stomach bug that I've had since yesterday' she replied as she flushed the loo and walked over to the sinks to clean herself up.
'Are you sure you should be in work and not at home?'Alex wondered,
'Yeah I'm just sat doing paperwork but if I get any worse I'll go home.'
With that Olivia walked back to her to continue with her paperwork. As she glanced at the clock on her screen she noticed the date and realized she was 5 days late. Oh my God I'm never late what if I'm pregnant, what am I going to tell Elliot.
