Ok, Guys. Some small house keeping: I put a warning on this story and said it's not for the faint hearted. If it is getting too intense for you PLEASE DO NOT GO BEYOND THIS POINT, because I'm letting you all know it only gets more intense with each passing chapter. Also pay close attention to Elliot. He's trying his best right now so have more faith in him. I received another batch of amazing reviews, please keep them coming. I love all of them. I also love all the reactions I'm getting from this story. Please don't hesitate to let me know your thoughts.

He arrived home later than he had originally anticipated, but it didn't matter. His plan was nearly fool-proof. He stepped into the house and, just as he had anticipated, she had handed off their daughter and headed out the door. As soon as the door was closed he began putting his plan into action.

"Lizzie I need you to watch your sister tonight," he stated, placing Kayla in the chair beside her sister.

"What? No. She's your kid. Your responsibility," the teenager stated without removing her eyes from the TV screen.

"She's your sister, and I'm telling you to watch her for a few hours. Most of which she'll be sleeping through."

"This is so unfair. I shouldn't be forced to do anything I don't want to do."

"Well, you can always find a place of your own."

"You act like I asked to move here. I was forced to move here. Forced to go to that stupid school, and now I'm being forced to babysit."

"I know. Your life is so hard," Elliot deadpanned. "Look, it's just for a few hours. I don't ask you to do much and I'm asking you to do this."

"Whatever," she said waving him off.

He took that as a yes and quickly ran upstairs to change. Exchanging his work clothes for jeans, sneakers, and a T-shirt, he hurried back downstairs and nearly tripped over his youngest.

"Daddy, I come," She stated simply as he scooped her up.

"Not this time Baby," he said, kissing her forehead.

"But I two. I two Daddy."

"No. Not this time," he said distractedly as he searched for his keys, misunderstanding his daughter's short words. He found them in the corner of the couch after remembering that he dropped them there when he put Kayla down .

"Can have snack Daddy? Please Daddy? Snack?"

He sighed and quickly went into the kitchen. He rummaged through the cupboards and came up empty handed. "Doesn't your mother go grocery shopping anymore?" He asked the two year old, who simply stared at him with blue eyes that had come to match his own. He continued to look and finally came across a box of blueberry Nutrigrain bars. He pulled one out, tore the wrapper, and handed it to Kayla. He lifted her and placed her back beside her sister.

"Ok, Liz I'll be back soon. You have my cell if anything happens or you need me or something."

"Yea Dad, I know."

"K." He leaned down and kissed Kayla on the top of the head. "Bye Princess. Bye Liz. Thanks a lot for doing this for me," he said as he headed towards the door.

"Yea. Like I had a choice," Lizzie mumbled to herself as the door closed behind her father. She looked at the child who sat in the corner of the chair and stared up at her. "What?" she growled, causing the little girl to jump and scurry away.

Elliot eyed the screen of the locator and the road as her tried to determine which street he should take. He had placed the tracker on Olivia's car before he had gone inside the house and used the locator to track her down. The screen began to beep and he figured that he was close. He looked up and down the street and spotted her car and then a restaurant/bar about a block up. He quickly found a spot and headed in. Ted's wasn't a place they ever went. He wondered if it was a place she went with her partner or the guys from her unit. He looked around and took in the casual surroundings. He spotted her easily at the bar. Laughing it up with some asshole in a suit. The man covered her hand with his and he saw red. He was going to kill him. The man leaned over and whispered something seductively into Olivia's ear. Yup. He was going to die and he was going to die tonight. Elliot strode over and sat on the other side of Olivia and began laughing it up with them. Olivia turned to face him and the look on her face was one of pure mortification.

"Elliot Stabler. Olivia's husband," Elliot said, reaching over to shake the man's hand.

"David," he answered, slightly confused. He shook Elliot's hand and turned to face Olivia. "Liv, you never said he was coming,"

"Oh she didn't know I was coming. I decided to surprise her."

"Yea. That's my husband. He's just full of surprises," She deadpanned and took a long pull of her beer.

"So you're David, huh? I was wondering who you were ever since I pulled your number out of the back of my wife's pants pocket a week ago. No wait. No, his name was James. Any chance you go by that name?"

"No," David replied slowly eyeing Olivia quizzically. She eyed apologetically and tightened her grip on Elliot's thigh.

"So how long have you two been seeing each other?"

"We just met up tonight. It was the only day I got out of my conference early. Liv's told me a lot about you and Kayla."

"Really? She hasn't said anything to me about you. In fact, she hasn't said very much to me the past couple of weeks."

"Elliot," she growled.

"Wow. Well, it was nice to finally meet you. I didn't think we'd get a chance to actually meet."

"Really? And who are you, exactly?"

"Well, I think that's enough meet and greet for one night. David, I'll call you later. Maybe we can do lunch or something before you leave." She dropped a $10 bill on the bar and headed quickly for the door.

"Sure," David replied, slightly confused.

"I'll deal with you later," Elliot stated before following quickly after Olivia. "Olivia!" he called as he jogged quickly to catch up to her. "So that's how you're going to act. You step out on me and whore yourself out to all of Manhattan and I'm the bad guy?"

That got her attention.

"Excuse me?" She turned on him, livid. "What did you just say?"

"You go out night after night. Bar hopping and passing out drunk on your daughter's bedroom floor. I come to find out what the hell you've been doing and find you cozying up with some fucker you met in a bar and then you act like I'm the one who did something wrong?"

"First of all, I haven't been whoring myself out to anyone. I've always been faithful, which is more than I can say for you. Second of all, David is very much gay and is an old friend from college."

"Then why haven't I heard about him?" She rolled her eyes and turned back around to continue her way back to her car. "Liv, wait. I can't do this!" He yelled at her retreating form and she froze. "I can't lose you. I know you haven't been happy for awhile and I'm at a loss at what to do. So tell me what it is I need to do to make you happy and I'll do it. Whatever it is that will fix all this, I will do." He caught up with her and turned her to face him. "I love you way too much to lose you and our family again. Please. Help me save us and our family. Whatever is," he said, swiping tears from her eyes.

"I-" Realization dawned on her face and she eyed him skeptically. "Where's Kayla?"

"At home with Lizzzie and Dickie," he stated, as if it were obvious.

"Oh God!" she exclaimed and turned out of his embrace. She began running for her car, but he grabbed her and held onto her.

"Wait, Liv. She's fine. We need to fix this."

"Let me go! I have to get to her," she shrieked, trying to shake his grasp off of her.

"Olivia, she's fine. They're not going to do anything to her," he heard his cell phone ring and felt it buzzing in his pocket, but ignored it. She continued struggle against him. When his phone continued to ring he eventually let her go to answer it, remembering his words to Lizzie before he left. "It's the house," he called to her retreating form. She immediately turned back around and came to stand in front of him. "Stabler," he answered. "Ok…Ok…Ok Lizzie, calm down. Hang up. And call 911 right now. Right now." Elliot locked eyes with Olivia, his eyes saying it all.

The blood immediately drained from Olivia's face.
