Chapter 3—surprises in Hawaii

After long hours on a plane and a couple of changeovers, Olivia finally made to Hawaii and proceeded to rent a car, she wanted to save her money and not waste it on taxies so she rented a Chevy Camaro because she always loved that kind of car; cool, sleek, and fast, plus it reminded her of her favorite show. Afterwards she went to the Marriott and checked in.

"Hi, welcome to the Marriott. We've been expecting you Detective Benson. Your boss has already booked you a room here. Is that all the suitcases you have?" Sam asked.

"Yes it is. What room am I?"

"You're on the 10th floor, room # 1015. Enjoy your stay here. Alexia will show you to your room" he motioned for her to come over there. "Alexia, this is Detective Benson and she'll be staying with a while; why don't you show her to her room. It's #1045."

"Ok. Follow me please." As they were getting in the elevator she thought she saw Elliot but the doors were closing to fast and the look on her face made Alexia ask, "See someone you know?"

"Uh oh, I thought I did but I'm not sure. It looked like him."

"What's his name? When we get to the room I can call downstairs and ask Sam to look him for you."

"That would be great thanks!"

She led her down a hallway and turned to the right and straight down at the end of that hallway was her room. They went in and Olivia gasped, it was so beautiful and the view was perfect. She couldn't wait to take some pictures. Meanwhile while she gazing out the window, Alexia called downstairs when she realized she needed his name, "Detective, what the guys name? I forgot to ask you earlier, sorry."

"It's okay, his name is Detective Elliot Stabler and you can call me Olivia."

"Thanks…Yes okay thank you Sam...Olivia, yes he is staying here and his room # is 1043. Hey that's right next door."

"Thank you so much Alexia" she gave her a $5.00 tip and thanked her again. Now the question was when is she going to bump into him accidently. She had devised a plan that she would run into him and pretend that she didn't know he was here because if she pushed him to hard then he might not ever come back and she just couldn't have that.

Later that evening she was getting hungry so putting on sleek blue dress that showed her curves and medium baby bump she headed downstairs to the restaurant that they had in the hotel. Getting a table in the corner so she could see who was coming and going she spotted him at the bar. There he was looking all fine, he was sporting a snug shirt that enhanced his rippling muscles and it made her shiver. She smiled at their last memory together and placed her hand over belly rubbing it gently knowing that this little life was his. She ordered lemonade and some Hawaiian chicken with veggies when she had an idea; seeing what he was drinking she motioned the waiter and he came over. "Is everything alright?"

"Yes it's delicious but I would like to order the same drink for man sitting at bar. He's in that sung red shirt and shorts." Pointing over to where he was, the waiter said ok but she grabbed his arm before he could leave, "here give him this note along with it please" she smiled up at him and he said ok.

After a few minutes, the bartender gave Elliot another and the note. He opened it and it read, "El…we need to talk. Love Liv" his eyes wide in surprise, she said love in the note and he whipped his head around to see where she was sitting. Spotting her in the corner his mouth went dry. That blue dress she had on showed off her gorgeous figure so taking his drink over to where she was, he sauntered up to her and she looked up at him and flashed that amazing smile that made her go weak at the knees, she was grateful she was sitting. "Hey there Liv; your note said we needed to talk…"

"Yeah well how are you holding up?"

"Much better now that you're here."

Smiling she said, "Why did you leave me without saying goodbye? Do you know how miserable I've been not knowing where you are, always thinking that you might be dead; all these scenarios going through my head and the nightmares have been constant. Thank god Fin is there to help me through this because he's like the brother I've never had. Do you know how many times I've cried myself to sleep? How many times I've just sat at my desk wishing you'd come waltzing into the squad room with smile of yours? Not only have I cried myself to sleep but cried at crime scenes or almost loosing my temper on a perp? Elliot I can't think straight, I can't do this job without you! I need you…I love you Elliot, I love you!" by the time she finished she was sobbing again, she hadn't realized she had so much anger well not anger but being upset with him and she was wiping away tears with her napkin. El just looked her and took her hands, "I am so sorry, so very sorry, I never meant to hurt you like that and I don't know what I was thinking. To tell you the truth I've been miserable also without you but I've been going to therapy and getting the help that I need. It's working, the nightmares are slowly becoming less vivid and truth is that I've been thinking about a lot lately and getting up the nerve to call you and let you know that I was okay."

Looking at him and smiling, "Thank you…ummm there's something else…" pausing to look at him before he nodded for her to go on, "well I um I'm pregnant." She stammered out and his face fell with shock but quickly regained his composure, "how far along are you?"

"6 months"

A wave of guilt washed over him, "I should've called sooner and maybe I should've never left. Do you know what you're having?"

"No I didn't have time to set up an appointment before I left. Why?"

"Well I was thinking, maybe we could set up one here and get you checked out. You know just to make sure everything's alright." He smiled just thinking about it and she smiled back then all of sudden she felt the baby kick a little and she kind of jumped. Noticing he became nervous, "Something wrong sweety?"

"No but feel…" she scooted over next to him and grabbed his hand and put it on her belly. His smiled went wide as he felt the little kick again. "I think little one knows who you are." She stated and stared into his blue eyes, god his eyes were so memorizing then lent over and kissed her, long and slow like it was a smoldering fire, burning with desire and happiness. Pulling back she took a couple of deep breaths, she had forgotten how intoxicating his kisses were. "That sounds like a great idea but I don't know anyone here…" "I can call my therapist and he'll recommend someone…" quickly getting out his cell and calling him. "Hey doc, I need a recommendation to an OGYN. Yes Olivia here and we're going to have a baby. She just told me and I'm thrilled. Okay thanks doc." After hanging up he looked at her again and was like, "What? Yes Liv I told him about us but I didn't tell him right away, he only recently found out about you" he gave her a quick peck on the cheek hoping she wasn't mad at him.

"Aww that's so sweet and strange at the same time."

"Yeah that's me; sweet and strange." He said laughing which got her to start laughing, "Wow I can't believe we're going to have a child together finally. I love you so much Olivia."

"As do I Elliot, you know what I said before…" he held up his hand and said, "Don't apologize Liv, you were upset at the time at have every right to be. I should have not treated you that way."

"Okay"

The rest of the night was filled with dancing and the going back up to his room and falling asleep in each others arms with his hand on her stomach he said, "Goodnight little one, don't give your mother too much trouble." Pretending to be asleep she heard what he said and smiled n' fell asleep.
