…. "Now I never thought you would get this far up the ranks" Said the Man stood in the doorway to Olivia's office,
Olivia sat back in her chair biting the end of her glasses frame, "Elliot Stabler" She laughed looking at him looking back at her, "What are you doing here?" She asked in suspense
"Thought it was time I came and see if the rumours were true?" He laughed as he took a seat opposite Olivia at her desk,
"And what would those Rumours be?" She asked as she stood and walked to the door and closed it,
"Well the first was that you were a sergeant and running the place now?" He laughed as he sat back in the chair, looking at Olivia,
"Lieutenant actually and yes you could say I run this place now" She said as she turned and leaned back against the window ledge,
"Wow", He said "You really went for it didn't you?"
"Yeah, me and Finn stuck together, he's now my senior detective" Olivia said still not getting into her head that she was talking to Elliot, "Why are you hear Elliot, it's been 5 years, you handed in your papers without a goodbye or a reason why I had to ask the captain why you left, I turn up to work the next day and ive been given a rookie detective as my partner, not complaining he turned out to be really good but still not half as good as you were" Olivia had to compose herself before she ended up bursting into tears ,
"I left because I had enough of all the stress and work load, I got a suspension but I ended up handing in my badge the same day, I kept meaning to call but I just didn't know what to say and before I knew it time flew past and I thought you would of moved on…." Elliot stopped as he seen Olivia getting worked up in front of him, he looked on her desk and picked up a picture of her and a young boy, She could see him looking slightly confused before he asked her a question about the second rumour, "The second rumour I hear was erm," Elliot stopped in his tracks to try and find the right words to say, Olivia saw him looking at the photograph of her and her son, she walked round and leaned against her desk while taking the photo out of his hand, she took a hold of it rubbing her finger along the right side of the frame closest to Noah, She let out a small smile before continuing her thoughts out loud,
"When Noah was brought into my life I kept thinking, Elliot would love you, I kept saying to myself if only you were here to share this bundle of life with you, but I had to keep getting the thought out my head before I got too upset about it". Olivia placed the photo back on her desk while she sat back in her seat,
"No one told me you were pregnant Liv?" Elliot said sounding quite shocked, "What happened to the Liv that was never ready to settle down and start a family of her own?"
"I was never pregnant El, I never have been, when we were on a case we came across a woman who got so caught up in a relationship with someone, she ended up getting… erm… she was found dead a few days later, I offered to look after him while they found a suitable place for him to stay, I couldn't let him go, then I went through the whole battle for adoption and I won, Noah Benson is officially my son no matter who created him". Olivia couldn't help but smile to the sound of her having a son,
"Im proud of you liv" Smile Elliot,
"You still never answered my question, why have you come here, why now?" Asked Olivia still determined to find out the answer to why he had decided to come to the precinct,
"Honestly?" Asked Elliot, "I came back…" Before he could finish he was interrupted by a knock on the door,
"Yep?", Shouted Olivia,
"Sorry to interrupt Lieutenant, but we need you to look over these photos from the crime scene?" Asked Rollins as she placed a file on her desk,
"Ah Rollins, this is my old partner, Elliot Stabler, Elliot meet one of my Detectives Amanda Rollins" Said Olivia,
They both shook hands, "Ah so you're the famous Elliot Stabler, the one who helped LIv with all her case loads?" Smiled Amanda,
"Well, she certainly did most of the work, I just sat back being the pretty one" He Laughed,
"Come out here Elliot im sure someone will want to say hello", As she walked out the office followed by Elliot then Rollins, Fin immediately spotted Elliot, "Elliot Stabler, What brings you back to Manhattan I hear you left for the Spanish isles?" Laughed Finn giving him a big Man hug,
"Ah partly true" he laughed,
"This is Detective Sonny Carissi, and this is my Sergeant Michael Dodd's, Me Elliot and Finn go back to when we first all became a 'team' some Seventeen years ago now," Said Olivia fiddling with her hands in attempt to hide her anxiety and emotions building up inside,
"Look I'd love to stay and chat I can see you are all busy, ill have to get back too, it was nice meeting you all and seeing you again Finn, ill see you around" Said Elliot as he rocked back on his feet,
"I'll walk you out, Dodd's take over for now ill join in the talk when I come back" Said Olivia as she followed Elliot out the room into the corridors to the lifts, "So how long are you back for?" She asked not knowing what the answer was going to be…
"I don't know, I've got a room at the hotel down the road from here but I think ill stick around for a bit, see what ive missed" Elliot Laughed,
"Look I get off around 9 tonight, why don't you swing by the precinct around then and we can head back to my place see how much we have to catch up on?" Said Olivia not realising how that sounded as she said it, She continued "I didn't mean it like that oh god sorry",
"Its fine, yeah I will sounds like a good idea, see you later Liv?" He said as he gave her a hug and stepped back into the elevator,
Olivia watched the doors close as she took a deep breath, she stood hands in her pockets rocking on her feet until she was calm enough to walk back into the room, after a few minutes she headed back to the others who had just started to discuss the case,
"She was found by a dog walker around 7 am this morning, he says he never touched or moved her body she was found the way she was …." Rollins continued to discuss the case in front of everyone showing pictures and descriptions of what people may have hear the night before in the area,
Sometime around 10 Past 9pm Olivia was the last one in that part of the precinct she had sent the others home after they did what they could on the case, she had been so caught up in her work and caseloads she had forgot that Elliot was swinging by so they could catch up with each other more privately and in more detail, as she looked up to the clock she realised the time, she thought it was best to head home since she was wrecked and had to be home in time for the nanny to finish at half 9, As she turned off her light in the office and grabbed her case and coat, she headed for the lift down, as she went to walk in the lift she was stopped in her tracks by Elliot walking out the same lift,
"Liv, sorry im late, I got caught up watching the T.V, "Elliot explained,
"It's alright I didn't realise how late it was anyways I nearly forgot about meeting you". Said Olivia trying to explain herself too,
Arriving back at Olivia's apartment, she opened the door to see the Nanny coming out of the Kitchen, "Hey Liv, Noah's just woke up for his bottle, its warming up there now, ill see you tomorrow morning" Smiled Claire,
"Make yourself comfy Elliot ill be back in a minute, there's Wine or Beer in the fridge do you want one?" She asked as she walked into the Kitchen,
"Wine will do thanks" He smiled as he watched her pour a glass of wine each and place them on the glass table, "I'll be two minutes I better go give Noah his bottle" She said as she headed into the bedroom at the bottom of the hall, A few moments later, Olivia came out carrying a young boy on her hip, Elliot could help but feel happy when he seen the way he was holding her,
"Elliot, someone wants to say hello, This is Noah, my son". She said as she sat Noah down on her lap as she sat on the chair next to Elliot,
"Hi, I'm Elliot", He said smiling at the little boy, Noah seemed a bit edgy as he moved in tighter to his mommy, Olivia handed him his bottle and placed him in his bean bag chair in the corner of the room,
"Olivia he's just beautiful" Elliot said giving one last look at Noah before taking a sip of wine,
"I know, he's come so far the past year it's unbelievable, anyways, how have you been, what have you been up to in life?" Asked Olivia ever so curious to find out what he had been up to,
"Well I moved to the Spanish isles for a few months with Cathy and the Kids, but… after a few months we decided it was best to split, we kept arguing and the kids were getting pulled into it, So I moved to San Francisco for the remainder time." Elliot explained
"Oh El, Sorry to hear that" Said Olivia
"Enough about me, what about you?" Elliot said turning the tables to Liv,
"Well, bar Noah and My promotions there isn't anything else, I was seeing a guy for a few months but work got the better of us both so we called it off". Said Olivia taking another drink of her wine, she looked over to see Noah asleep in the chair, she placed down her glass and went to pick him up,
Elliot couldn't help but notice the strong bond there was between the two of them, the way he laid his head on her shoulder and wrapped his arms around hers, it reminded him of the numerous times he had watched Cathy do the same thing with their kids,
Olivia had returned moments later to see Elliot with a big smile in his face, "What's with the grin?" She asked
"Nothing, just thinking to myself, I've missed you so much Liv, if i could I would turn back time and just left it at the suspension, but I did what I thought was the right thing" Elliot said looking over at Olivia,
"Ive never felt so much pain that day when you left, I couldn't contain my emotions any longer, I ran into one of the rooms and just burst into tears, I couldn't face not having my partner by my side, I kept asking captain if there was any word on you but there was nothing the same answer every time I asked." Said Olivia wiping a tear from her eye,
"I'm sorry Liv, I didn't know what I was thinking not saying goodbye, I suppose it would have hurt me more saying goodbye". Said Elliot as he placed his wine glass back on the table, Olivia did the same, as she grabbed a tissue from the box on her table to wipe her tears, she looked back up and straight into the eyes of Elliot both fixed on each other's, Elliot placed his hand on the back of Olivia's head and moved her closer, Olivia edged herself forward until their lips both met each other, They both went in for a deep passionate kiss, slowly moving their hands onto the other partners face, what happened next was what Olivia had always imagined and dreamed of happening since they spent the night together undercover, that night was to blame for Olivia's feelings for Elliot taking over her, before they both knew it Olivia was being carried into her bedroom in the strong muscly arms of Elliot before being thrown onto her bed, where things escalated very quickly ….
