Hello people of earth!!! Sorry for the long wait! But I have been getting ready for my AP US HISTORY test. Sigh so much work. LOL anywho so here is the next chapter! Enjoy and review.
I don't own Law and Order: Special Victims Unit. Wish I did but I don't so sigh~1 Week later~
Olivia had just gotten out of the shower. She wrapped a fluffy blue towel around her body and started to brush her hair out when she heard a knock out of her door. She went to the front of her apartment and looked out the peep hole. She smiled and opened the door. "Hi Elliot"
"How are you doing Olivia?" He asked coming inside her apartment. He hugged her tightly against his chest.
"I'm doing fine."Olivia said her voice cracking. She snuggled into Elliot's build. She wasn't sure when they started this whole hugging thing but she didn't care. She liked the feeling of being safe. Elliot always made her feel safe.
"No your not. How is the baby?"
"After the surgery everything was fine. Nothing really big happened. She is still hooked up to feeding tubes and she still isn't breathing by herself. But nothing else has happened. Have you located Gladys?" Olivia asked.
Elliot's arms were still wrapped around Olivia's bare shoulders. Bare shoulders. Elliot finally looked at what Olivia was wearing or lack there of! He bit his lip to keep in a moan. She had just gotten out of the shower! Damn this woman! He nodded and pushed away from her gently. "No. No sign of her. But like I said I am still looking for her."
Olivia nodded and stood looking at him. She felt something familiar. Something she always felt when she looked at Elliot. "Thanks. I just got out the shower. As you can tell. I'm going to go and visit the baby. Why aren't you at work?"
"I called off. I have to be in court."
Olivia cocked her head to the side and said. "Uhm what? What for?"
Elliot cleared his throat and said. "I'm getting a divorce. I signed the papers and now we are having a custody battle"
Olivia gasped. She knew about the divorce. Just not about the custody battle. "Elliot! Why didn't you tell me!"
"You have so much to worry about right now! I didn't want you to worry about me and problems"
"El what kind of partner, some kind of best friend would I be if I didn't care about you or your problems! Really Elliot!" Olivia said offended.
"No Liv! I just didn't want you to more to worry more. But what I said did come out wrong" Elliot said.
Olivia nodded. "So you want custody of Eli, Lizzie and Dickie?"
"Yeah. At first I was just going to go for joint custody but last week Lizzie asked if she and Dickie could stay with me. She seemed like she was holding something back. I'm worried" Elliot sighed.
Olivia smiled. "No worries! Your kids are going to be just fine" Her voice cracked at the end. She bit her lip. "Just fine. I should get dressed and get to the hospital" she whispered.
"Do you want me to wait for you?" Elliot asked.
"No. Don't want to make you late" Olivia said with a small worried smile. "Thanks for stopping by Elliot"
Elliot nodded and went to the door. He stopped and turned to look at her, she looked beautiful to him. "The baby is going to be fine"
Olivia nodded her eyes wide with unshed tears. "I know. Thank you Elliot."
"I'm praying for you and the baby Livvie. And your welcome" He said. He then opened the door and walked out.
Olivia stood there for a quarter of a minute. She then went and got dressed in a light green sweater and blue jeans. She got her coat and boots on and then walked out of the apartment. She was going to spend another day at the hospital, with the little baby. She was soon sitting the rocking chair looking at the small baby. "Hi little ladybug" she whispered with a small smile to the small baby.
~After Court~
Elliot sat on the bench shell shocked. He just learned something shocking, something he could have never thought of.
Kathy came over to him. Her eyes were red and puffy and she held a tissue in her hand. "Elliot?"
"Kathy just tell me. Just tell me how long?"
Kathy sat next to him on the bench and stared ahead. "How long have I known or how long did I have the affair?"
"Both"
"I well. When we filed to divorce papers. No a year before that. So maybe 4 years ago. I knew Eli wasn't yours when he was 6 months. When I got the test done" she whispered.
"Who?"
"It doesn't matter El"
"WHO DAMNIT!?" He yelled.
"I met him at the store. We went on a date and things just seemed to progress. Elliot I love him. Not like how I loved you. This is something so much more" She said.
Elliot said nothing. He just looked at her with wide eyes. "Your right Kathy. We were forced into this marriage. I loved you because you were the mother of my children." he said.
Kathy sighed. "We both know who you really love Elliot."
Elliot looked at her shocked. "What?"
Kathy rolled her eyes with a slight smile. "You and I both know who you both love. You were always so clueless about women. You love Olivia and if I'm not mistaken she loves you too."
Elliot stayed silent.
"Elliot. I moving."
"What!" he exclaimed
"Once the divorce is over. Eric and I are going to move to Rhode Island. Eli too."
"Kathy! Kath, don't take my kids away from me! Don't take the twins away from me" Elliot pleaded tears in his eyes.
"I'm not Elliot. I'm going to give you full custody of the kids. Of course we are going to work some things out. But I'm going to give you full custody of the twins" She whispered. Saying those words made her heart ache and hurt.
A huge weight was lifted off of his shoulders and his heart. "Thanks Kathy"
She forced a smile. "You can take better care of them. I won't be able to in my condition"
Elliot cocked his eyebrow. "What?"
"Moving to another state, getting re-married, getting a job, having a 2 year and" she paused catching her breath. "And being pregnant. I can't give my all to two 16 year olds"
Elliot's eyes widen. "Your pregnant?!"
"Yeah. 2 months" she whispered.
"God Kathy!" He knew for damn sure the baby was Eric's. He hasn't touched Kathy like that in almost 4 months. He stood and started to walk away. "Kathy. I can't talk to you right now. Talk to your lawyer and have him talk to mine" he then went to his car. He got in and banged the steering wheel. He felt the tears fall down his face. He picked up his phone and checked his messages. Olivia had texted him about 10 minutes ago saying she was still at the hospital. He texted her saying he would meet her there. He drove to the hospital with one thing on his mind. To talk to Olivia.
