Genre: Hurt/Comfort, EO

Rated: Mature just to be safe

Summary: We all agree that Pursuit was one of the best episodes of season 12 and we also agree that Bully, which aired last night was not a good post episode. (It was crap) So to make up for the crappy episode I decided to come up with a little fan fic about what I think should have happened after Pursuit instead of that mess in Bully. (There were alot of sexy close ups of Chris Meloni though, but that's besides the point. Moving on) This is just my take on what should have happened as far as having a memorial service for Sonya and giving everyone time to grieve and what not.

Memorial Service

Everyone from the 1-6 were present and accounted for at the memorial service of ADA Sonya Paxton. She was loved by some, hated by many, and some fell in between that. The officers and detectives were dressed in their uniforms and aligned on each side of Sonya's grave saying their last good-byes and putting flowers on her coffin. Olivia Benson shook from crying; she had taken Sonya's death the hardest since she had been holding Sonya when she died in her arms. For some reason Olivia felt like she was at fault for Sonya's death, but that was furthest from the truth. Her partner Elliot Stabler stood beside her and grabbed her hand. Fin Tutola stood behind them and placed a comforting hand on her shoulder as she continued to sob quietly.

After everyone had cleared out Cragen, Olivia, Elliot and Fin were the only ones still standing in the cemetery. Liv was still crying a little and Elliot had an arm around her shoulder for support. Cragen told his detectives to take some time off and none of them argued about that. Cragen embraced Olivia and offered some comforting words before he left, as did Fin.

"Don't blame yourself for this baby girl. You know that this wasn't your fault." Fin said embracing her. Then he walked away after exchanging a look with Elliot.

"I c-can't he-help it." Olivia broke down again and Elliot was right there as she walked into his opened arms and buried her face into his chest. Elliot hugged her and held her tighter than he normally did, despite that wedding ring on his left hand. Kathy was the furthest thing from his mind right now. At the moment his main concern was for his partner who had no family to turn to and lean on. He was all she had and he wasn't about to leave her side. So eventually he'd have to face the music and deal with his wife later. Right now Liv needed him and he wasn't going any where.

Once Olivia had calmed down and stopped crying, Elliot offered her a handkerchif to wipe her face and they quietly headed to his car. When they got inside of the car, it was silent and kind of awkward for a second but then Elliot spoke.

"Do you want some company today?" Elliot asked pulling off.

Liv didn't answer right away. "You should go home and be with your family El."

"I don't think you need to be alone right now Liv. I'll deal with Kathy later. Right now I'm concerned about you. I know that you don't deal with death well and I just want to be there to make sure that you're okay. You really shouldn't be alone at a time like this Liv." Elliot said as he glanced over at his partner.

"I don't wanna be alone right now." Liv said quietly as a stray tear fell down her cheek.

"Don't worry I'll be here with you as long as you need me to be." Elliot said.

Olivia's Apartment

Olivia had changed into some sweat pants and a tank top, then grabbed a pillow and blanket to curl up on the couch. Elliot was out in the hallway taking a call from his wife and Olivia knew that that conversation wouldn't end well. She went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of bourbon from the back of a cabinet and got two glass, one for her and one for Elliot. He would probably need a drink after talking to Kathy anyways.

"Kathy, I can't leave her here alone after a colleague just died." Elliot explined to his wife who wasn't buying his story or excuse for staying at Olivia's place.

"You bastard. Why do you always have to stay there with her? Why can't she come over here for a change?" Kathy said annoying Elliot.

"You know damn well why I won't invite her over there. For one she would refuse and two you make her feel uncomfortable." Elliot said

"I make her feel uncomfortable? She's the one spending all the time with my husband, whom I hardly see at all." Kathy said.

"We're not having this conversation right now Kathy. You know Liv doesn't have any family or close friends to be with her right now." Elliot said.

"That's what girl friends are for." Kathy said.

Elliot was ready to hang up on her but he took a deep breath and calmly talked to her. "You know what, I'm not coming home. I'll be there tomorrow after work. End of discussion."

"You son of a bitch. You're gonna spend the night at Olivia's. Well have fun with you're marriage ruining huzzy partner then." Kathy said hanging up on him.

Elliot just hung up the phone but he didn't appreciate Kathy talking bad about Liv that way. He let himself back in and found Olivia on the couch with two glasses.

"Figured you could use a drink after talking to Kathy." Olivia said handing him the glass of bourbon.

"Thanks." Elliot said sitting down beside her.

"So how did she take it when you said you weren't coming home?" Olivia asked.

"She called me a bastard, son of a bitch...accused me of cheating again." Elliot said rolling his eyes.

"She really thinks that you were cheating on her with me?" Olivia said.

"You know how she is..."Elliot started to say before taking a swig of his drink.

"Well I guess I don't blame her. If I were her I'd be jealous of me too. After all I do spend way more time around you thatn anyone else." Olvia said.

"True." Elliot agreed.

"Wanna watch a ovie or something? Just sitting here is depressing." Liv said.

"What do you wanna watch?" Elliot asked.

"I still have some of those old Disney movies I had bought for Calvin." Liv said thinking about Calvin for a minute.

"Really you wanna watch a kids movie?" Elliot asked.

"Yeah I do. As a matter of fact I want to watch Lion King." Olivia said.

"Seriously?" Elliot asked raising an eyebrow at her.

"Don't look at me like that, just put in the movie." Olivia said.

"We're seriously about to sit here and watch Lion King. Wow." Elliot said getting up and putting in the movie.

Elliot knew this movie all too well because it was Lizzie and Kathleen's favorite movie when they were little and Eli grew to like it too. So El and Liv sat there on the couch laughing and singing along like two little kids and that lightened the mood and made the day seem less depressing. Somewhere in the middle of the movie they had gotten closer and Liv was laying against him as he had his arm around her. They both felt comfortable and didn't think that anything was wrong. They had finished the bottle of bourbon too and they were slightly buzzed. When the credits started to roll Olivia was looking up at Elliot and he was looking back at her and they were sort of talking with their eyes for a second. Of course actions speak louder than words. Olivia got up and started to head back to her room. She looked back at Elliot and motioned for him to follow her. Elliot got up and followed her into her room. They stood there for the longest time just staring at each other until Elliot pulled her closer and kissed her. When he pulled back he looked into her eyes.

"This is wrong in so many ways, you know that right?" Elliot said.

"I know but I don't wanna fight this feeling. It won't go away." Olivia said.

Elliot looked down at his wedding ring and back at Liv.

Should he go there with Liv or stop? Should he be unfaithful to his wife or just face the music after having a good time with his hot, lonely partner?

That's for you guys to decide. Let me know how you guys like this part and then we'll get some EO lovin' in the next part.
