Disclaimer: Dick Wolf owns the characters but Trinbitch owns the rest.

Elliot and Eli arrived at Olivia's apartment and was waiting to be buzzed in. He had clicked the buzzer and was trying to tell Olivia he had arrived at her apartment, "Liv, me and Eli are here can you buzz us in." he was staring at the intercom waiting for a reply when he finally got one. "Ok El, come in." He grabbed the door that led to the lobby and waited until Eli got in first. As they were headed for the elevator Elliot remembered the conversation on why he left for three years.

Flashback

Elliot was sitting on Olivia's couch when she had turned to him and asked, "Why did you leave Elliot?" she looked at him and he could see the pain, anger, and sadness that were in her pretty doe like eyes. He had opened his mouth but closed it, thinking for his reason.

"I'm sorry Liv, things just got complicated...a-and I had just shot a teenager, who reminded me of Lizzie," she could hear the tears in his voice and she wanted nothing more than to comfort him, but she was trying really hard to stay mad at him for just leaving her and lying to her.

"Complicated," she whispered, this had infuriated her he left because things got complicated. "I'm sorry Elliot but did I LEAVE when things got complicated!" He looked shocked at first but then he scoffed "Actually you did! You left first remember Gitano. You LEFT first Olivia!"

"But I came back you son of a bitch! I always do! You, You left without as much as a goodbye I know I did to but at least I tried to call you! Its been three years and you never ever tried to call! All I fucking get is a not with 'Semper Fi'!" She was staring at him, her eyes fully black with anger.

"Oh fuck you Olivia, every time I tried to call you would always-" He had gotten cut off when she said something but this time with tears in her eyes and voice. "But I came back didn't I," She was crying, there were tears streaming down her face and she looked at him, all anger had vanished he looked in her and saw nothing but pain. He was going to say something but she beat him to it. "E-El-Elliot, I thought you would come back, but you were really gone w-when Cragen said that you turned in our papers. I had to.. to pack up your desk El," there was a slight pause of silence, all that could be heard was her sobbing and sniffling. He then felt broken when she said something, something he had promised during their seventh year of being partners "W-what happened to being 'Partners for Better or Worse'." That was it, he grabbed her and pulled her into his arms.

The rest of the night was him explaining.

Him sobbing in her arms.

Them trying to comfort each other.

And them picking up the pieces of their twelve years of partner ship.

End Flashback

He was thrown out of his memory when Eli had started tugging on his sleeve, "Daddy we're here c'mon," he grabbed Elliot's hand and had led him out of the lift. As they arrived at her door Elliot was getting nervous. He was about to knock on the door when she opened it, she looked beautiful as always and he was slightly distracted. Olivia looked at Elliot then her eyes turned to Eli, she was surprised that he looked so big, she remembered when she helped deliver him like it was the other day. "Hi Eli you've gotten so big!" Eli looked at her and smiled he yelled " LIVVIE!" he ran and hugged her. The hug was strong and if she didn't have balance she thought she might've fell, she looked at Elliot and he had a big grin on his face " hey Liv," she gave him a small smile "Thanks El, come on in."

Lewis watched as Elliot and Eli walked in to the new apartment building 'thank god I followed him, now I know where she lives'. He stayed and watched for a little bit more than left, he decided it had been a few days since he last contacted Olivia and whats great about it, is that Elliot was there to hear the whole conversation. Lewis kept thinking on telling Olivia about his future plans that included the man that still had her heart, but he decided he wouldn't go into full details, he would keep her on edge. He was getting excited while dialing her phone number.

Nick, Amanda, and Fin were still at the precinct trying to find the fucker that hurt their sergeant. "I'm worried about Liv guys." Amaro looked up from a file he was reading and stared at Rollins,"We all are Amanda, you know what happened last time that son of a bitch got near her.." he paused then looked at the both of them and said "I won't let it happen again." he had a look of determination in his eyes, Fin and Amanda felt the same thing, which was to protect their squad and their sarge.

"Thanks El, come on in." Elliot followed Olivia after he had shut the door to her apartment. "Take a seat," she looked at him then Eli, "Are you guys thirsty?" she asked, her gaze shifting between the both of them. "No thanks Liv" Eli looked at his father while rubbing his eyes, "Daddy i'm tired." Elliot was about to say something but Olivia beat him to the chance, "You can sleep in my room Eli while me and your daddy talk okay?" Eli yawned but nodded in understanding.

Elliot was looking at the apartment while Olivia went to lay Eli down for the evening. He was looking at all her pictures but stopped and looked at one that caught his attention. It was a picture of them at the last Black & White ball he went to with Olivia. They were both smiling, gazing into each other's eyes, he could see the obvious love in both of their eyes. He was still looking at it when she came out of the bedroom, "That's one of my favorite pictures of us." She smiled when she saw him jump.

He cleared his throat and turned to look at her, he had a small smile on his face when he saw her grinning, obviously from him being spooked.

"So, you wanted to talk," her smile faded when she remembered why she had called him. Elliot saw this and his eyes grew soft but held worry, fear, and was it love? She cleared her throat and told him to sit down, he took the seat next to her and grabbed a hold of her left hand, she looked into his eyes and took a deep breath. "El, you know.. Lewis, how he contacted me, and how he threatened to come after me," Elliot could see the fear in her brown eyes and he felt a wave of anger sweep over him "Don't worry Liv I won't let him get near you," Olivia tried to hold in a sob but she couldn't, "I'm sorry El, I'm just so scared to have to look back and see if he's following me.." the rest was cut off by a sob, he didn't know how much time was wasted but it felt like an hour when she had calmed down.

"Thanks El," she didn't move from his arms and he didn't mind either. Olivia was drifting off when her phone began ringing, she moved a little bit from Elliot's arms and answered her phone, "Benson"

"Hi Olivia,"
