Hey guys thanks for the reviews and here is an update..enjoy!
She looks in the confused and shocked eyes of her partner and panics, so she quickly closes the door in his face. She stands there completely still and then realizes that she just slammed the door in her partners face. She stands there before opening it. He opens his mouth to say something before she closes it again. She looks at ethan who is slowly falling asleep on her shoulder. She leans against the door to calm her fast beating heart before opening it again. He looks at her.
"Hey" he breathes out
"Hi" she looks at him. She moves so he can come inside. He notices the difference in her apartment, the way it looks and the way it feels. He looks around before turning to look at her.
"Did I catch you at a bad time?" he says obviously talking about the wet baby on her shoulder. She looks at Ethan
"Define bad time." He laughs slightly. She looks at him.
"Just give me a sec." she walks into the back and quickly dresses Ethan before walking back out with a fully clothed baby. She walks into the kitchen, goes into the refrigerator, and gets a bottle of milk. She gives it to him and holds him as he drinks it. She walks over to the living room and sits across from Elliot.
"So what's up" he looks at her confused. She shakes her head and adjusts Ethan to where his head is on her chest.
"You came here for a reason I am assuming." He looks at her and nods.
"Oh yea, I just wanted to update you on the case." He sits on the chair.
"You couldn't have just called me." She pats Ethan lightly hearing his breathing even out. Elliot looks hurt at her words.
"I mean I could've but." He pauses and looks at her "I just wanted to apologize about what happened today." She places her chin on Ethan's head and smiles. It was the first time he saw her smile and it made him feel warm to know he did that.
"Its ok Elliot, I'm not the easiest person to deal with." He chuckles and looks in her eyes. She feels the intensity in his stare and looks away immediately.
"So um I didn't know you baby sat." he says as he looks around. She looks at him with a smile playing on her lips.
"I am not a baby sitter Elliot." He looks at her.
"Well there is a baby here with you alone. So either you baby sit or you had a baby, but I would've known if you were seeing someone." He looks at her.
"Elliot this is my son Ethan. I had him a year almost two years ago." He looks at her completely shocked and everything starts making since. Why the house feels warmer, the different vibes the atmosphere.
"How, who, when?" he looks at her.
"Well I am sure you can figure out the how Elliot." She smiles. He shakes his head
"You're missing the point Olivia." She is completely taken off guard with the use of her full name. He has only used that when he really wants her attention or is completely turned on, but that is just in her experience of one night.
"Look Elliot this isn't the time or place for this conversation." She stands up carefully being cautious of the sleeping boy on her chest.
"When will it be the time?" he asks her in a harsh whisper. "no where and no time seems to be right so I am asking just for an estimate Olivia, when?' he asks her with pleading eyes. She notices the storm raging in his beautiful blue eyes and melts knowing she was the cause of the disturbance.
"Soon Elliot." She whispers tears filling in her eyes
"That's not good enough." He whispers feeling anger and bile rise in his throat.
"Saturday" she says simply. He nods.
"I will take it." He gets up and walks to and out the door. Olivia lets out a long and deep breath. She immediately picks up her phone and dials Casey.
"Hello?" her voice rings through the phone.
"Elliot was just here." Olivia says not even acknowledging the greeting. The other end of the line is silent.
"Casey!"
"What? I'm still here I am absorbing the information." She says. Olivia laughs.
"I was completely shell shocked but I took it better than you." Casey laughs and Olivia begins to fill her in on the day's events.
"Just like that." Casey says. Olivia nods completely forgetting she is on the phone before repeating what Casey said in a matter of fact tone.
"So you didn't tell him?" Casey asks after a moment of silence.
"No, how could I Case he was just there after leaving me in bed like that, I was frozen all these feeling I thought were gone just resurfaced out of the blue. It's bad enough I gave birth to a Stabler." She sighs immediately feeling like a horrible mother after that statement.
"Case I have to go and put monster to bed." She agrees and hangs up the phone before they can start a conversation again. She slowly walks him to his room and puts him in his crib. He never really sleeps in here usually just when Jenna is here but she really need the bed to herself to just think tonight, so she grabs the baby monitor and walks out his room quietly. She goes into her room and just lies on the bed and stares at the ceiling. How does her life go from semi-complicated to a full blown soap opera in one day? She was satisfied with her simple and hectic life. She had a routine a plane for every thing and it frustrated her that Elliot Stabler making a return want in her book of plans. Why wouldn't it be? Anything was possible. Hell she didn't think she would end up sleeping with her partner but look where that got her, pregnant alone and keeping the biggest secret of her life. She didn't like it but what was her other option. Tell him and have him try to take away the love of her life, her baby, her prince, her everything. In all honesty she didn't know what was going to happen but she was Olivia Benson, preparing for the worst is what she does. She lies there for what seems like a few minutes but when she looks at the clock she realizes its been hours. She stands up and puts on comfortable clothes and lies back down. She tosses and turns before just giving up and watching as seconds become minutes and minutes become hours on her clock. She eventually falls asleep but she isn't resting for long until she hears the unpleasant sound of her phone ringing. She sits up and reaches for it.
"Benson" she says groggily inside of the phone.
"Liv is me" Elliot whispers in the phone.
"What the hell Elliot do you know what time it is." She says irritably.
"Sorry Liv but its important" she sighs and waits for him to say something.
"What is it Elliot." She says growing more irritated.
"I need to crash on your couch for the night." She freezes and get out of bed. She walks to her front door and opens it to see Elliot Stabler at her front door in his jacket and pajamas. She covers her mouth to try to stop her self from laughing. He looks at her and waves. She hangs up the phone and lets him in.
"What is the problem and why aren't you dressed." She looks at him.
"The heater at my place broke and the super said it wouldn't be fixed until tomorrow and it is freezing in that place." He says rubbing his hands together. She looks at him.
"You know there is this amazing invention called a blanket. It helps keeps you laughs.
"Thanks for the insight live." He shakes his head. She nods and looks around.
"Liv" he pauses "the reason I left wasn't because I didn't"
"You can stay blankets are in that cabinet and u can use the couch pillows." She cuts him off and starts to walk away.
"Olivia let me talk." She turns around.
"No Elliot. I don't want to talk." He stands up and walks over to her
"Then answer me this Liv." She looks at him
"Who is his father? Is it me Liv am I his father." She starts to get nervous, but it was a different kind of nervous.
"That is ridiculous Elliot?"
"Is it? I did the math and it makes sense. Unless you were pregnant when we had sex." She looks at him trying to think on her toes.
"Elliot he is almost two in two months if you were is father he wouldn't be two for four months. It takes nine months to have a baby." She shuffles her feet. Truth is Ethan was premature two months premature to be exact. The stress from her job and just general stress made her go into early labor. Nothing, thanks god, was wrong Ethan. He is a very brilliant boy, he did spend a few weeks in the hospital because of his size but now he is ok and she thanks god every day for that. She looks up at Elliot.
"Well a guy could only hope" He moves closer to her. He moves a strand of hair out her face. She makes a sharp intake of her breath and watches him.
"El" she whispers.
"Whoever the father is, is a lucky ass guy." He moves away and sits on the couch. she takes a deep breath and walks with shaky legs to her room. She closes the door and leans against it. Maybe it was time to tell the truth. God when did everything get so complicated.
