"Come again?"
"I'm pregnant," she answers.
"That's great."
"You really think so?"
"Why wouldn't I? You deserve this. You've wanted it for so long. No one deserves to be a mother as much as you do."
"A single mother. I'm thrilled," she replies satirically.
"Why aren't you happy?"
"Because of you and your damn super sperm."
"Huh?"
"It's yours, you idiot."
"No..."
"Yeah. Don't worry I won't tell your precious Kathy," she answers.
"You're serious?"
"It's not something that I would joke about."
"You're sure?"
"Elliot I'm almost eleven weeks along," she points out.
"Right..."
"Happy Valentine's day."
"Wow."
"Can you take me back to the precinct please? I have work to do."
"I want to talk about this."
"What is there to talk about?"
"We're having a baby."
"We may have made a baby, but I am the one having it. I am the one who is going to raise it. You're not going to do anything."
"It's my baby."
"No. No one will ever know that it's yours."
"What are you saying?"
"As far as everyone else is concerned the baby's father is a sperm donor."
"Liv you can't do that."
"I'm not going to be a mistress. I'm not going to be the reason that your marriage falls apart. I'm not going to be your dirty little secret. I won't do it."
"Ok."
"Ok what? What the hell are you going to do Stabler? It's not like you're going to leave Kathy."
"Why not?"
"We can never be together. You don't want it. I don't want to be..."
"Liv."
"Elliot there is no discussion here. I'm having this baby, and you're not going to have anything to do with it. You're not going to see it."
"Why are you acting like this?"
"Are you kidding me? You slipped out of my apartment, because you were afraid that..."
"I wasn't afraid."
"So why did you leave?"
"Because I'm an idiot."
"I'm aware."
"How did this happen?"
"How did we have sex?"
"No, I know how that happened."
"Oh, you mean, how did I get pregnant?"
"Yeah," he nods.
"How does it usually happen?" She questions.
"I..."
"I don't want anything from you, except for you to just stay out of this."
"You're not even going to let me see my own kid?"
"No," she shakes her head.
"Liv, you're being unreasonable."
"Me? You cheated on your wife, whom you have five children with. That is unreasonable."
"Olivia, stop!"
"Stop what? Tell me how this is going to work any other way? It's not like you're going to tell Kathy, she's got your damn balls in a vice. You won't leave her. You can't do anything to help me."
"Liv..."
"Stop. Elliot I don't want to do this anymore. I don't want to pretend like I'm ok with this, because I'm not. I'm not ok with the fact that I've waited for you to realize what an idiot you are. Now I've finally realized how naive I was to think that this could ever work. We could never be together. I may love you, but you love your wife. I'm sick of pretending that's not true. I think that you should start looking for a new partner."
"No."
"Why not?"
"Because..."
"Can we go back to the precinct, please?"
"Fine," he agrees.
They don't say a word to one another when they go to see Melinda. Elliot leaves, and Olivia takes a moment to collect her thoughts.
"Are you two ok?" Melinda questions.
"No," Olivia admits.
"What's going on? It seems pretty tense between you guys."
"Yeah," she nods.
"Is there a reason?"
"It's probably just me," she admits.
"Why do you accept all the blame?"
"I think the hormones are putting me over the edge."
"Hormones?"
She nods.
"For what?"
"Um... I shouldn't have said anything."
"Why not?"
"I just shouldn't have."
"Olivia what are you saying?"
"I'm pregnant," she admits.
"That's great news."
"I don't want anyone to know yet."
"How far along are you?"
"About eleven weeks."
"Congrats."
"Thanks," she feigns a smile.
