Wow, ten reviews in the last chapter! Looks like I'm doing something right, LOL! And, for all you EO shippers out there, don't worry, they'll be together soon! For the time being, however, Olivia has a lot to deal with: getting dumped and being a single mother, plus she can't be in a relationship right away. And, I know you're gonna hate me, but I'm thinking of bringing Dean Porter into the mix since there's a growing number of Dean/Olivia shippers out there. I don't know; we'll just have to wait and see, won't we?

Oh, and one more thing, just to clear things up, Elliot and Melinda were both divorced in 2007. And, for all you Kathy haters out there, she took off with another man, taking her son Eli with her.

Enjoy and happy reading!

Lots of love, hugs and kisses from your resident writer and friend, Nina!

Olivia Benson's apartment

Manhattan, New York

April 30, 2008

It's been a whole week since Kurt left her. A whole week since she revealed that she was pregnant with his child. A whole week since he came into the precinct and revealed that he was signing over his rights as a father of her child. A whole fucking week and she hated it. She fucking hated it.

Curling up on the sofa and reading another tabloid magazine, Olivia thought about everything that happened in just one week. How could she finally found happiness with someone when his true colors began to show right before her eyes? How could she be happy when everything she wanted in her life came back and bit her in the ass? How could she be happy when the one man she could see herself building a future with abandoned and deceived her in the worst way possible?

How could she could be more stupid when she pushed away the one man who actually cared?

Of course she had to find out that Elliot punched the hell out of Kurt, but she didn't care now. He was out of her life and Elliot was being the greatest best friend she could ask for. He did this for her. He cared for her. And, a part of her feels he loves her. But, they knew they couldn't act on their feelings right away. For one, the brass has every reason to get rid of them and two, she's not ready to be in another relationship.

Casey and Alex offered to help her get child support from Kurt, but Olivia didn't care anymore. If he doesn't wanna be there for their child, that's okay with her. However, she knew he could wind up going to jail for abandonment charges. That would be the perfect revenge for her.

Olivia had so many thoughts running through her head, that she was startled when the phone rang. Sighing deeply, she reached over and picked up her cordless phone from the table.

"Hello?" she answered tiredly.

"I hope you know your fucking lover punched me at the precinct today and I'm gonna be seeking charges against him!" Kurt barked on the other line.

"What that has to do with me?" she snapped.

"You told him to hit me."

"You're talking crazy, Kurt! I never told him to do a damn thing! This was his own doing! Elliot hit you because he cares about me and he couldn't stand to see me get hurt from the likes of you!" she screamed.

"Yeah, well, his ass's in trouble over this! And you best believe I'll be taking his badge away from him. Furthermore, what's this I hear that you're taking me to court and I specifically told you that I was signing over my rights as the father?" he scolded.

"Again, that wasn't my doing. However, you can go to jail for abandonment charges now. You think I'm gonna let you get away with leaving me pregnant and alone? I don't think so!" she snapped again.

"Olivia, I told you I'm done being someone's father. It's never gonna happen again. Why don't you go and get an abortion? It'll do us some good," Kurt complained.

"No, it'll do you some good. I realize that I can raise this baby without you in our lives. Besides, I have a strong support system."

"Olivia, please don't make this any harder on us. I don't want the baby and, deep down inside, you don't want it, either. Just get rid of it before you wind up regretting it," he said before he hung up the phone just as she was getting her last word in. She really wished she had a regular phone so she could slam it down harshly. The nerve of that man saying she should get rid of the baby. She wasn't the only person who had sex that night. She shouldn't have to go through with this alone, for god's sake!

Getting up from the sofa, she went into the kitchen to get a glass of water, knowing full and well she had to get rid of any alcohol due to her pregnancy. After getting a glass out of the cabinet, she filled the glass up with the clear liquid before taking a big swig in her mouth. She still couldn't get that conversation out of her mind. She knew Kurt was bluffing when he said he was gonna get Elliot fired for hitting him, but she couldn't help but wonder if he was really gonna get the only man she really loved fired. Olivia couldn't imagine being partners with anybody else. For nine years, those two has been each other's backbone. She couldn't imagine coming to work and not seeing him every day.

Just then, the phone rang again. Not wanting to deal with Kurt anymore, she didn't answer. However, the phone kept ringing and that was starting to piss her off. Slamming her glass down on the counter, she went over to the couch and snatched it up.

"HELLO?" she screamed.

"Did I do something wrong?" Elliot asked, feeling startled.

Olivia calmed down immediately. "I'm sorry, El. I though you was Kurt again."

"Wait, he called you? What did he say?" he asked, getting angry.

"What I wanna know is why did you hit him?" she asked, changing the subject.

He sighed deeply. "Cause I was pissed off at him. He doesn't deserve a beautiful, caring woman like you. Anyone would be lucky to be with you and anyone would be lucky to be a father to your child. Hell, I would if I could."

She was stunned. Elliot wanted to be the father to her child! She wanted to jump up and down and scream out for joy! The man of her dreams, the man she'd always loved in secret wanted to be the father. And, hell, he's a damn good one. He raised four beautiful children and made them out to be healthy and happy.

"El, would you, if you really could?" Olivia asked, her voice cracking.

"Olivia, if I had my way, I would love to be the father of your child. I would love to raise your baby as my own. My children would love to have another brother or sister. You're my best friend. You know I'll support you in anything you do. I got your back 100 percent," Elliot assured her softly.

"Can you come over? I know I said I wanna be alone, but I could use your company," she finally said. She groaned when she heard someone knocking at the door. Another deep sigh came out of her mouth and she went towards the front door and opened it. She was surprised to see him standing there with his cell phone in his hands. He just smiled.

"Let me guess: one of my neighbors knew who you were and let you in, right?" she joked as she stepped aside and allowed him to come inside.

He snapped his phone shut and laughed. "You know me so well. Oh, and by the way, I was coming regardless if you asked me or not."

They both sat on the sofa and looked into each other's eyes. No words needed to be said concerning how they feel about one another. Without warning, they leaned forward and before she knew what was happening, their lips touched gently. It wasn't a earth-shattering kiss, it was more sweet and delicate. However, that changed when Elliot reached over and wrapped his strong arms around her. She scooted closer to him to the point where she wounded up on his lap, straddling him. They didn't go further, though. They both knew now was not the time to embark on their sexual feelings for each other even though it was gonna be really hard to control it.

When they finally pulled apart, they didn't wanna let go of each other right away. They loved the new closeness. Their foreheads touched gently as they were breathing heavily.

"I'm sorry, Liv. I had no right," he told her, which shocked her.

"You have no reason to be sorry, El. I liked it. I liked it a lot," she confessed.

"Listen, I know you're dealing with a lot of drama right now and the last thing you need right now is to get involved with the likes of me, but when all of this blows over, I would like for us to explore our feelings for each other. I love you, Olivia, and I'm not planning on leaving you ever," he admitted.

She couldn't help but smile. "I love you, too, El. I would like the same thing. I'm so glad you're here with me."

"You're not alone, remember that. We're all here for you. Let me be a father to your baby. Everything will turn out okay," he assured her.

She leaned over and kissed him quickly, then she pulled back and looked into his sparkling blue eyes. She couldn't more in love with him now but she's not ready to tell him just yet.

"I believe you, Elliot," she said warmly.

Special Victims Unit Squad room

16th precinct

One Police Plaza

Manhattan, New York

May 30, 2008

It's been a little over a month since Elliot and Olivia kissed in her apartment and since her pregnancy became official. They both agreed to keep their newfound relationship a secret for the time being until they were ready to tell the others. Furthermore, they also decided to take things slow because she was slowly beginning to heal from her sudden broken heart. Elliot has been there for her, anyway, which meant a lot to her. And she was happy to know he was excited about her bringing a child into the world, even though he's not the biological father. As far as Kurt Moss is concerned, he can go fuck himself.

Speaking of Kurt, no one has seen or heard from him ever again. He just fell off the face of the earth, which suited everyone at the one six just fucking fine. They knew he was no good for Olivia, but they never thought in a million years he could just up and leave her when she needed him the most. He was still hell-bent on her getting an abortion, but at this point, he knew it wasn't gonna happen. To further piss him off, Elliot was able to keep his job but he was properly disciplined for hitting Moss. However, he was praised from everyone for standing up from Olivia.

Alex and Casey made good on their word and took Moss to court. With the help of Casey's cousin, a lawyer who specializes in the rights of children and single mothers, Kurt has to pay child support every month, not to mention he has to set up a trust fund for his child and visitation rights were to be agreed on their terms. Frankly, Olivia could care if he comes to see his child or not. Her baby has father, who's honest, loving and caring beyond comprehension.

"Hey, Liv?" he called out to her.

She shot her head up from reading a file and looked at him. "What's up, El?"

"Have you eaten anything yet?" he asked curiously.

"Not since this morning. I'm telling you, morning sickness is a bitch," she groaned.

He smiled. "It'll be over soon enough. You're gonna be so full of life."

She giggled. "Thank you."

"So, ready to go to lunch?" he asked in a soothing tone.

"Yeah. I'm hungry," she told him as she reached behind her and grabbed her jacket off the chair, even though it was nice outside. Damn hormones!

Just then, a mysterious male walked in, holding a manila envelope in his hands. He found his target and went right over to her.

"Excuse me, are you Olivia Benson?" he asked out of the blue.

"I'm detective Olivia Benson. What can I do for you?" she asked, looking skeptical.

"I was told to bring this to you," he said menacingly. Before she had time to react, he drew his arm back and socked her dead in her jaw, shattering it completely. Elliot got pissed and lunged at the man, not before he raised his arm up and punched her one more time. She groaned as she crashed on the floor, feeling pain ebbing throughout her face.

"You son of a bitch! Don't you know assaulting a police officer is a crime?" Elliot growled as he pinned the man down the floor and cuffed him. He got up and pulled the man right up beside him, but he managed to raise his foot up and kicked Olivia right in her face before Elliot socked the man right in his stomach, knocking the wind out of him.

"Take him to the cell and make sure he's locked up!" he barked at the uniformed officers. His main concern was making sure Olivia was okay after the blows she received.

"Are you okay, honey?" he asked as he kneeled down besides her. She just shook her head because she couldn't talk. That man did a damn good job breaking her jaw.

He was angry, but he wasn't about to take it out on her. Instead, he scooped her up in his strong arms and carried her out of the precinct, intent on taking her to the hospital to get her injuries checked out.

Damn, things just keeps getting worse for Olivia, just when she was finally able to get past her problems with Kurt, this just had to happen! Well, there's even more drama in the next chapter! How did you all like the EO kiss? Did I rush it? I did mention they would get together in the long run, but I couldn't go one day without having them kiss! And, how did you like having Elliot being the father? Stay tuned!
