"No Elliot, I want to talk about this right now! We both know I am right, and we both know that we can't put this issue on hold!"
"Liv, what started this, did someone say something to you to make you feel like this? Why do you think that my kids hate you?"
"Well, if you must know, I really didn't want to tell you this but, when you went to Kathy's, to get your things, I was there. I saw your car, so I was going to offer to take you to work, but then I heard what she said."
"Who said what, Liv?"
Elliot went over to her desk, and started telling her it was going to be ok. He said everything will play out in their favor.
"No, Elliot, stop! Kathy said that I took everything away from her and your kids! Then, Maureen walked in and said that when she found out about us, she never wanted to see me again!"
"I'm sure she didn't really mean it"
"No, she meant every word that she said; I could see the hate she had for me in her eyes."
"She was probably"
"No dad, she's right, I really do hate her for being with you. She's the one who broke up the family. She's the one who took you away from mom and us kids." Maureen interrupted.
Olivia left the room so that Maureen and Elliot could have some privacy to talk.
"Dad, you don't know how it hurt me. I considered Liv to be a sister, someone I could talk to in need of help, NOT a step-mom!"
"Sweetie, I understand you're mad, but I love Liv, not mom, and I am pretty sure mom doesn't love me either."
"Ok, whatever, I didn't come here to fight with you, mom wanted to know if you're getting us this weekend or not."
"Yeah, sure, I have got to talk to Liv."
Maureen left the room, and Liv came back to the squad room. Liv started to talk, but then she drops in tears. By now, Elliot heard Maureen's car leave.
"Liv I know it's hard on you, but that doesn't matter, I love you, and that's all that matters to me."
"You may think that, but that's not all that matters to me. I mean I love you and all, but I don't want to hurt your family. Your family is like family to me, Elliot.
"No, Liv, I will not let you go, I will not give up on us. We have been though hell and back. You are not leaving me, you here me you are not! Liv you are my everything, I can't afford to lose you!
"Elliot you are my everything, but more importantly you are your kids everything!"
He leans in to try to kiss her gently. They start kissing, but then she pulls away, cursing herself, under her breath.
"I can't take the hurt of hurting someone, or the hurt of losing you Elliot, you make me go crazy. I love you!"
He puts his hand on her cheek, and kisses her forehead.
"Liv, I love you too, and I am trying to tell you the only person you are hurting is yourself."
"I can't do this, I am going to go home, see you at the party tonight, Elliot."
