I think this is the best chapter of this story until now. R&R
Elliot stayed in the living room, he couldn't concentrate in anything. His head was about to explode: he had told Olivia about his feelings, and Kathy told him he could end their marriage. But what should he do? Olivia didn't want to destroy his family. He thought "My family is already destroyed"
With everything that had happened: Kathleen's emotional problem, all those fights with Kathy... And there was something that still bothered him: when Eli was born, he didn't feel the same than when his older children were born. Elliot loved Eli, he wanted to believe he was his father. He had to believe it. But he couldn't. And something inside of him was screaming he wasn't. Maybe it was just the circumstances in which he had been born, but what if he was not his son? That possibility annoyed him every night. Elliot walked to Eli's room and he saw him sleeping quietly in his cradle and before he noticed, he had in his hand a tiny blond hair.
Olivia didn't know what to do. Everything she wanted in the world was being with Elliot. If only that night would have happened 2 years before, when he was separated from Kathy, when Eli wasn't born yet... Next day, Olivia was the second to get to the squad. Munch was already there.
"Hey Liv, did you guys cached that perp last night? He escaped from jail, didn't he?" Munch asked.
"Oh, yes, we took him back to Rickers" Olivia answered.
"And what time was that? I was here at 11 pm and you weren't back."
"You were still here?" she asked trying to avoid to answer him, because she knew he'd keep digging until he found out what have happened last night.
"Well Cragen felt 'sick' and somebody had to turn off the lights... You didn't answer my question"
"It was around midnight. Happy now?" Olivia said irritated.
"Hey what did I do? Today you have such a bad temper"
"Shut up John"
"Something important happened last night, isn't it?"
"Why do you want to know? If it was something of the job, I'd tell you. But its not. OK?"
"I could help" After saying that, Munch leaved.
Elliot arrived 30 minutes late.
"Sorry I'm late. Car trouble"
"All right people, now that we are complete we can start working" Cragen said "there's no current case, so we are going to try solve a cold one. Benson, Stabler, go pick up the rape kit to the lab. Munch, Tutuola, find Michael Nichols. He disappeared 2 years ago, after being a prime suspect of the rape of Maria Brooks."
Elliot and Olivia went and Elliot started talking
"I'm not going to lie to you. I did not have car trouble. I went to the lab, to order a paternity test"
"I'm not surprised" Olivia said.
All the way to the lab they remained in silence. But when they were about to enter there, Olivia said:
"El, I've thought about last night... And I concluded that no matter what I do, I can't change or deny my feelings about you. The truth is that I love you. And if you love me too, I don't see any reason why we can't be together... You know, as a couple"
Elliot just smiled, and he kissed her. Grabbing their hands, they entered to the lab.
"Detective Stabler, I didn't expect you to come back so quickly." The tender said.
"Oh we are here for another reason. Can you give us Maria Gonzalez' rape kit please?" Elliot told him.
"One moment".
A minute after he left, one doctor crossed the lab with an envelope in his hands. He saw Elliot and he said
"Detective, this is your lucky day. I didn't have work to do, so I did your test. Here it is." he gave him the envelope. His cell phone started ringing. "Excuse me, I've gotta answer" and he left through the back door.
Elliot took the envelope and he sighed
"Liv, whatever the result is, my decision of staying with you and not with Kathy is going to change"
"I know"
Elliot opened the envelope, he took out the sheet of paper and he skipped all the words until he reached the end. It said:
