"Yes, well I m-mean, I-" he stuttered. "Olivia" He cupped her cheeks. "You are the strongest person I know, you may thing you need me, but god Liv" He paused searching her eyes. "I don't know what I'd do without you. You are such an amazing mother, I love watching you with Mikey, he adores you." A faint smile appeared on her face. "So yes Olivia Benson, I love you. I love everything about you." He breathed looking at her.
"El" She breathed looking into his eyes. "I-I"
"Liv you don't have to say it back" Elliot breathed.
She looked at him and a faint smile appeared on her face. She took his hands in her own.
"El, I" She looked down before speaking again. "I don't know what love is, I-I don't know if what I feel is love" She admitted. "I've never been loved before. With my mom and then after the rape I closed myself off from everyone" She looked up meeting his eyes. "I don't know how to love". He brought her hands up to his lips and kissed her palms.
"Let me show you how to love Liv" He whispered.
"El" She murmured. She didn't want to burden him. "I'm b-broken" she looked down.
"No Liv, you are a survivor" He slipped his hand down to her waist and traced her tattoo. "You are fearless." She smiled at him before wrapping her arms around his neck and kissing him. He held her close and whispered in her ear.
"You really are fearless Liv" A shiver ran down her spine.
"Thank you" She murmured looking into his eyes. "You make everything seem so-so simple"
"I try" He said causing her to laugh.
"Come on lets go" Olivia spoke taking his hand and walking out of the locker rooms.
"Okay, I'll be back in a few hours" Olivia said kissing Mikey's head.
"Going to work?" Elliot asked coming out of the kitchen.
"Yeah" She said looking up. "I'm giving my boss my two weeks"
"Really?" Elliot asked.
"Yeah, I need a new job" She said as he walked over.
"I like that idea" he smiled pulling her closer.
"Me too" She said wrapping her arms around his neck. "I think I'm going to start looking for jobs tomorrow" she said kissing him quickly.
"Sounds good, see you soon" He smiled watching her walk out the door.
Olivia had just finished her shift and she was about to walk back to get changed and head back home. She was about to push the door open when something caught her eye. She turned around to see Kathy right behind her.
"You wont last long" She said giving Olivia a once over.
"By that you mean?" Olivia asked.
"Elliot" She said taking a sip of her drink. "He will leave you soon enough" She smirked.
"Really?" Olivia asked.
"Yeah, he's not the settling down type" She said. "Plus what could he see in you, your just a stripper" Kathy said laughing.
Olivia blood began to boil, how dare she. She didn't know anything about their relationship. Olivia took a step closer to Kathy.
"You don't know anything about our relationship" Olivia spat.
"Then tell me Olivia" She challenged.
"I don't need to tell you anything" She said turning around.
"He doesn't love you" Kathy smirked as Olivia stopped dead in her tracks. "You don't love him either" She smiled until Olivia turned around.
"He actually does love me Kathy" She spat.
Kathy smirked. "But you don't love him"
"Of course I-" Olivia stopped. Did she? She still didn't know. She took shaky breath.
"You don't" Kathy said with a huge smile on her face.
"I" Olivia tried.
"Wow, that's pathetic" Kathy laughed as she started to walk away. Olivia snapped, she was done with Kathy's bullshit.
"I don't care what you think Kathy. Elliot is probably the best thing that ever happened to me. Hands down. He's amazing with my son and he is my rock. I don't know what I would do without him. So for you information" Olivia said getting in your face. "No that its any of your business, but I do love him" She yelled over the music. "I love him" She repeated more to herself than Kathy.
"Yeah I heard you" Kathy said clearly pissed off.
"I. love. him." She said again as she ran to get her bag to change. Kathy stood there confused and pissed off. She stormed off, and got another drink at the bar.
"What movie do you want to watch buddy?" Elliot asked as Mikey sat on the couch.
"Bwother Bwear" Mikey replied smiling sweetly.
"Brother Bear it is!" Elliot said as he put the movie in and walking back to the couch. The movie started to play and Elliot laid down with Mikey on his chest. Elliot pulled a blanket up to cover both of them. They watched the movie and halfway through Mikey was asleep. Elliot smiled before he too slowly fell asleep.
Olivia walked into her apartment to see the title screen of Brother Bear playing. She smiled as she put her stuff on the ground. She hadn't been able to stop smiling ever since she left the club. She walked over and her smile grew larger at the sight before her. Mikey was fast asleep on Elliot's chest. It was by far the cutest thing she's ever seen.
She slowly picked Mikey up and he snuggled into her chest as she took him into his bedroom. She tucked him into his bed and gave him a kiss on the head.
"Mommy loves you" She whispered.
She slowly shut his door and made her way back to the living room. She took her shoes off and got on the couch and cuddled into Elliot. His arm wrapped around her waist and she let a content sigh slip past her lips.
"Love you Liv" Elliot murmured pulling her closer.
"I love you too Elliot" Olivia said kissing his forehead. She slowly drifted off to sleep and missed the smile that grew on his face.
