"Chaos" Chapter 10

Olivia was stunned. She was crying almost uncontrollably. She looked up into his eyes and opened her mouth to speak. The doorbell rang, followed by three quick knocks. She did not have time to respond. Olivia got up to open the door. Elliot held onto her hand because he did not want her to answer the door. He finally let go and she opened the door.

Olivia: "Casey? What are you doing here?"

Casey: "I wanted to see how the two of you were doing. Oh, Hi Elliot, I didn't know you were here."

Elliot: "Yep, I am."

Elliot stood, still having the upset look on his face.

Elliot: "I am just going to go Liv."

Olivia: "El please don't, we still have to talk about this."

Elliot: "No, we don't. Your reaction was enough of a response. See ya later Casey."

Elliot walked out the door. Halfway into the hallway he looked back into the apartment at Olivia watching him with tears rolling down her face. He stopped and stared at her.

Casey: "I am going to go, seems the two of you have some unfinished business. Love you Liv. Call me later okay."

Casey leaves, but not before lightly pushing Elliot toward the apartment again. Elliot goes back in and sits down on the couch. He stares at his feet until Olivia joins him. She sits close to him and puts her head on his shoulder. Elliot puts his arm around her to comfort her.

Olivia: "I am sorry Elliot."

Elliot: "For?"

Olivia: "For my reaction, for not responding. I have been through so much the last few days. First, finding out what we had was not over, the emotional rollercoaster of that added with the new passion that we found. Finding out that I was pregnant with your baby was a shock and a half. Hearing your reaction in the precinct devastated me. Then, my almost nervous breakdown, Kathy and her psychotic actions just put me even more on edge. Then, recovering from that and coming home alone. Now, you actually tell me that you love me. It is a lot to take in Elliot."

Elliot: "I can't imagine Liv. I know that everything you are feeling, I can't imagine. But, I need to know Liv, if you feel the same."

Olivia: "Elliot?"

Elliot: "That's a no?"

Olivia: "No Elliot, It is not a no. I have loved for a few years now. I have wanted you to make love to me long before we did. I just never knew how to do it. Everything was getting so complicated, that is the reason I wanted to get a new partner before. I told you that. Actually, you told me that after the hostage situation."

Elliot: "I know Liv, wait…what did you say?"

Olivia: "When?"

Elliot: "It wasn't a no?"

Olivia: "Yes, Elliot."

Elliot sat there in shock himself. He thought she would deny him, reject him, or even kick him out. Never did he think that she loved him back.

Elliot: "What?"

Olivia: "Elliot! I love you! I really do love you. I have loved you for years. I never thought we would be here today."

Elliot grabbed her and hugged her into him again. He let a tear roll down his face, and she was crying so hard she could hardly catch her breath. He let go quickly and stood up.

Olivia: "Elliot, what are you doing?"

Elliot: "I have some things to take care of. Meet me tonight in the park at 9 o'clock. Call Casey. Bring her with you! You will know when you get there where to come."

Olivia: "What?"

Elliot: "No questions. Just show up. Put on your favorite outfit. Tell Case to do the same. Promise?"

Olivia: "Okay. I promise."

Elliot jets out the door. He heads straight to the precinct, into Cragen's office and then over to Munch and Fin. Casey watches him from the doorway, talking low where only the person he is talking to can hear.

Elliot turns and faces Casey. He smiles and then walks past her. She seems confused when Elliot turns to look at her.

Elliot: "What is wrong Casey?"

Casey: "Why so secretive?"

Elliot: "Who?"

Casey: "Who? You!"

Elliot: "I'm not. (Laughs) Call Liv."

Casey: "She Ok?"

Elliot: "She is great. She will fill you in. I got to run. I have a lot to do."

Elliot runs out the door, Munch and fin behind him. Cragen gets up and closes his door after smiling at Casey. She wonders what is going on that everyone is so secretive about.

She calls Olivia for the details.

Olivia: "Benson."

Casey: "Don't Benson me. What is going on?"

Olivia: "What? What do you mean?"

Casey: "Liv, Elliot came in here at the precinct, talked to Cragen, Munch and Fin, then walked by me smiling. Then, he tells me to call you. What is going on?"

Olivia: "I am as much in the dark as you. He told me to put on my favorite outfit and for me to tell you to do the same. I am supposed to meet him in the park at 9 o'clock tonight with you."

Casey: "Okay? That is shady. What is going on? I hate secrets. Ugh. Listen, I am leaving here now anyway. I will drop by the house and grab my things and I will come over to get ready with you. Sound good?"

Olivia: "Sure does. See you soon."

Olivia hangs up, runs to the closet. Looks into it with utter confusion, then notices the light on the answering machine blinking. She goes over and pushes the button to get her message.

Message: "Liv, it's Elliot. I just wanted to tell you again. I love you. I hope that you know that I mean that. Plan is still on for tonight. 9PM in the park. You can't miss it. See you there. I love you Liv."

The call ends and Olivia is standing there in shock. She wonders what is going on, she can't imagine what is going through Elliot's mind. She walks back to the closet and peers in.

Olivia: "Nothing! Absolutely nothing do I have to wear."

She remembers he says to wear her favorite outfit. She goes to the wardrobe and pulls out a peach summer dress that would be perfect for a night in the park. She goes to shower before Casey shows up.
