Chapter 6 Homecomings

This can not be her neighborhood. This is beautiful. Expensive. How the heck is she affording this? Oh. It must be his, he thought as he pulled up to number 1414.

He was so nervous. He didn't know what to say to her. He didn't know what she was going to say to him. And what about this other guy. He didn't see a ring on her finger when he saw her earlier. He knocked on the door, palms sweating.

It took her a minute to get to the door. She looked exhausted when she opened the door, she had one of the girls on her hip, it occurred to him that he didn't know his girls names.

"Hey." She said.

"Hey." He smiled back.

"Come on in." She said shutting the door behind him.

Elliot looked around her house. It was huge. The foyer was bigger then her old apartment. He couldn't focus on the mansion that was her house as the little girl in Liv's arms turned to him, "I Ava." She said stretching out her tiny arm.

"Hello sweet heart. My name is Elliot." Ava, how beautiful, he thought.

"Let's go talk in the living room El." Olivia said and motioned towards the left.

"Momma, you call him El like my El?"

Olivia kissed her baby on the forehead, "Yeah baby."

Elliot was confused but at the same time felt an overwhelming sensation run through his body. He sat down on the couch and Olivia plopped Ava down as well.

"Hi mommy!" The other girl came out from nowhere.

"Hi baby girl. How you feeling?"

"Betta." She looked over at the strange man.

"Who dis?" She asked her mother, but before she could respond Ava answered.

"Dis is El!" She said with a smile.

"I El!" She said with silly grin on her face. Olivia just laughed.

"Ella, meet Elliot. Elliot this is my other baby."

"We not babies Momma!" Ava exclaimed.

"You'll always be my babies." Olivia said picking up Ava and giving her kisses all over making the girl laugh hysterically.

A half an hour later Elliot was so in love with his daughters and couldn't imagine not ever being with them. They had fallen asleep on the couch, Olivia's lap as their pillow when the timer went off. Olivia groaned, "Med time." She whispered and slowly lifted the twin's heads off her lap, "Do you want to help me bring them to their room?"

Elliot's eyes lit up, "Yes, yeah, of course." he stuttered out. Olivia picked up Ava and Elliot picked up Ella. She led them upstairs to the girl's bedroom. Elliot couldn't believe how huge Olivia's house was. The girl's bedroom was larger then the house he was staying at in Denver. How the hell did she come into all this money?

Olivia placed Ava down and Elliot did the same. "I'll be right back." Olivia said and left the room. Elliot stared at his sleeping beauties. His eyes swelled up immediately. Stood up from his kneeled position and walked around the room. Olivia had decorated the room beautifully. It was all Disney and princesses. They each had their own dresser with wooden block letters spelling out the girls names. There were photos of Olivia and the girls hung through out the room. She was beautiful. God she was beautiful. There was on her when she must have been 9 month pregnant. My God was she big! He chuckled, she still looked gorgeous, even more so if that were possible. This must have been the most recent it looked like the annual work picnic. The girls had long brown hair that curled at the ends, Olivia was holding both of them on her lap, her head jerked back in a fit of laughter, her mouth open wide, and that smile he missed. God to hear her laugh like that again would be heaven to him.

The one photo that stuck out the most was the one of the girls being baptized. Never in a million years would he think that Olivia had gotten the girls baptized. He looked at the photo, Cragen and Alex holding one of the girls, and Munch and Casey holding the other. He should have been there. His face became red with anger. Damn him for not being there. Would it of killed you to pick up a fucking phone! Just to see if she was ok! God damnit Elliot you are such an ass! He wiped the tears away when he heard her coming back.

Olivia walked back into the room with a medicine bag. "It's so much easier to this when they are a sleep." She said with a smile. She pulled Ava's Beauty and Beast nightgown up to expose her thigh. She pulled out a needle and filled it with the liquid that was in the glass container. She was a pro at this. He watched her intently as she inserted the needle into the little girl's thigh. She hit the plunger and waited for the needle to empty. When she was all done she put the used medical supplies in a thick red bag, and headed over to Eva's bed and repeated the process. When she was all done she kissed both her girls on the forehead told them she loved them and placed them under the covers. "Snug as a bug in rug."

"You're an amazing mother Olivia." He told her. They were sitting back in her living room, drinking coffee.

"I know." She simply said.

She was a different person, and it wasn't a bad thing. She was so strong, so sure of her self as a mother, but at the same time, she was the same old Olivia, the broken and hurt Olivia. The one that Elliot would hold at night and tell her everything was going to be okay. Only this time he was the cause for most of the hurt in her eyes.

"I don't know what to say." He said unable to look into her eyes.

"One phone call Elliot. One fucking phone call that's all it would have taken."

"I know! Don't you think I know that! Don't you think that I picked up that phone everyday and had your number dialed? But I couldn't. I had to do it for my kids Liv. Wouldn't you do anything for the girls--?"

"That's not FAIR!" Olivia shouted at him.

"I'm sorry, you're right." He said placing his hands in the air surrendering. "She had me convinced I was a horrible father Olivia. Do you know what an awful feeling that is? To be accused of?"

"How did you not get one of my letters?"

"I don't know Liv. I honestly don't know. I promise you, Liv, I promise you with my whole heart and soul that if had gotten one I would be back here in a flash, and you know that Olivia, you know that."

"So what are you even doing here Elliot?"

"Maureen got a job at the hospital where the girls are staying. She must have seen the girls, because she called me immediately and told me I had to get back here and fast."

"Oh!" It finally dawned on Olivia, "Maaeen…Maureen! She's one of the girls Doctors Elliot! Wow. Maureen's a Doctor?"

"Yeah." Elliot said glowing with fatherly pride. "Maaeen huh?"

"Yeah the past few days all the girls can talk about is Ana, their Primary's new helper, Maaeen." She giggled, the way the girls said it was so precious. "So how long are you in town for?"

"Are you kidding me? As soon as I found out those girls were mine I mentally packed. I'm here to stay Liv. I'm not leaving them, I'm not leaving you either."

Their talk was interrupted by Olivia's phone going off. "Don't miss that." He said winking at her. Truth be told though, he missed that like crazy.

"Benson...Oh hey….uh huh….Just put the girls down…nope they didn't even wake up….No! I mean that's ok you don't have to do that; I'll just see you tomorrow. Ok?...ok…uh huh…me too." and she hung up the phone. She glanced over at Elliot and gave a nervous laugh.

"Are you in love with him?" He asked not really wanting to hear her reply.

"What?"

"Are you in love with him? The guy that was at the hospital this afternoon. The same guy that just called you. Are you in love with him?"

"We've only been dating for 4 months." She said as her finger drew circles around her mug.

"That is not what I asked Olivia."

"That is hardly any of your business any more is it?" She asked looking up at him with a hurt look on her face.

"I still love you Olivia."

"Yeah well you have a funny way of showing it."

"I'm working on changing that. I meant what I said before Olivia, I'm not leaving you. Come hell or high water."

"Yeah well don't hate for me not being able to trust you."

"I could never hate you Olivia, but I will spend eternity trying to make it up to you."

I could never hate you either, is what she was thinking, but able to say it? Not yet.

"You have a lot to make up for."

"I know."

"If you hurt my little girls Elliot I will kill YOU, I swear to God."

"Our little girls, and I won't I promise you Olivia, I won't let you down this time."

"My little girls. You can't just come here in one day and expect--"

"Okay, okay…I get it." He said cutting her off.

"Listen Elliot, I don't want to fight not tonight. I have had a crazy day even before you showed up, so---"

"Okay serious talk over." Elliot said.

"I'm not done with you yet Stabler. We haven't even begun to chip away at the surface of anger that is in store for you. I'm just too tired right now."

"I know." He said with one of his famous smiles. He got up and picked up their empty mugs that were on the table. He headed for the kitchen. When he came back Olivia was passed out the couch. "You weren't kidding when you said you were tired, were you?" He said as he smiled down at her sleeping figure.

He looked down at her and wondered if he should bring her to her room. He used to carry her to bed before, but…this is not like before. But she would probably want to be close to the girls incase they woke up at night. That did it. He slowly bent down and picked up her sleeping form.

He couldn't believe how light she was. Oh my god Liv, are you eating at all? He wondered. She was light as a feather. He walked her up the spiral staircase. He still couldn't believe how huge her house was. He found her room, the room right next to the girls. It was a beautiful master bedroom. Hardwood floors, master bath, all furniture was expensive oak. There was a fireplace, bay windows, I mean her bedroom must have cost more then his old house in Queens. How the hell was she affording this?

He brought the comforter and sheets back and placed Olivia softly in the bed. He pulled up the covers and brought his hand over his her forehead. He bent down and placed a small kiss on her forehead. He stared at her for a minute before he turned a started to walk away. However he felt her slinky hand form around his wrist, "El?"

He fell down to her side immediately, "Yeah Liv?"

"Lay with me?" She said in a daze.

"Are you sure Liv?" He asked to make sure.

She tapped her hand on the spot next to her. He walked around the huge bed. He took off his jeans and climbed in, but did not touch her.

"Hold me." She whispered.

Forever.

He moved his body closer to hers. He was nervous but had never felt so happy. He wrapped his strong arms around her tiny waist and pulled her body so that there was no space in between them.

She let out a soft moan that let him know that this was okay. A smile emerged on her face and with in minutes was sleeping peacefully where she belonged, in Elliot's arms.
