Disclaimer : I don't own SVU.
From Now On
Everything was dark and quiet, except for Elliot's uneasy breathing. She rolled over to face him and smiled, he looked like a kid who was having a nightmare and looked so cute. Her lips were curled up in a big grin but she couldn't live like this any longer, he belonged to another woman ... Her mind would always hunt her with that fact, no matter how much they've been trough together, his heart , his mind was set in some other place in somebody else.
She sat in the bed, this was the last night she was going to cry over Elliot Stabler, and she had been the last thirteen years. She had enough; it was time to take care of her. He would always be a part of her life but this was it.
Kathy dried off the tears with her fingers and went back to sleeping, tomorrow was going to be a long day ...
Elliot woke up to the sound of breakfast being made , he changed and went downstairs
-"Good Morning"-
-"Morning"- Kathy replied
-" So what do we..."-
-"Elliot we need to talk."-Kathy cut in
He sat down .
-"Ok what do you wanna talk about?"-
-"I've think this trough , I want a divorce"- She said al calm as possible
-" Why ?"-
-"You know it, just as well as I Elliot. I love you but I'm no longer in love with you"- She explained
-"Kathy I... I love you , if this is about my job I can quit"-
-" No Elliot, you can't , is what you love"-
-"No if it cost me my family. I love you guys more"-
-"You can't leave SVU, you can't leave her...- Kathy's voice trailed off
-"So this is about Liv ?" -
-"No , this is about you and me falling out of love a long time ago. I mean it , you are always going to have a special place in my heart and in my life and I have the most special reminder of our amazing time together , our wonderful kids.
I'm doing this because I don't want us to end up hating each other, I don't wanna regret knowing you..."-
-"You are right, but I want you to know I never..."-
-"I know you didn't"-
Elliot got up and before he left the room, she grabbed him by the wrist
-"But I also know , how you feel about Olivia, I guess I was right, she really gets you in a way that I don't"-
-"Kathy I..."
-"Elliot is ok , I would be upset if you didn't find anyone"-
-"Kathy I might have feeling for Liv, it doesn't mean something is gonna happen"-
-"I wouldn't be so sure of that"-
She went silent, now it was up to him to figure that out.
