I don't own Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Olivia smiled as sat down at the dinner table. Elliot and her had just walked back downstairs and where looking over the many menu's that Elliot had collected. They had finally decided on a pizza and ordered it. Happy it would be arriving soon. Olivia placed her hands on the table and she looked down at the table. She could all the events of the past couple of days rushing back towards her. It was like a really hard punch in the gut.

Elliot was looking at her. He moved his chair over so that he was right next to her. He gently placed a hand on her shoulder and frowned slightly when she flinched. "Olivia" he whispered.

She didn't answer him. She couldn't she was afraid of what would happen if she opened her mouth. She would either scream or cry, most likely both though.

"Olivia look at me" Elliot said gently but firmly.

Olivia shook her head no. She couldn't do that either, she knew what would happen if she looked at Elliot. He would make her feel better and claim that all of this wasn't her fault. But she didn't want that! She knew that it wasn't going to be okay! She knew that this whole thing was her fault.

"Olivia please" he whispered. When she didn't look at him he gently placed two fingers under her chin and brought her head up to look at him. "I know your feeling like this is your fault. But it isn't."

Olivia cut him by saying. "Please! Please tell me how this isn't my fault! I trusted him, I married him, I had a kid with him, I let him hit me, and I let him...i let the monster hurt my baby" she was sobbing by time she finished. She fell against Elliot's chest.

Elliot wrapped his arms around her and held her. "Olivia please don't do this to yourself. You had no idea what was going to happen when you agreed to marry him."

Olivia was openly crying at his chest. "But you did! You told me not to marry him. You knew he was a major asshole, a freaking jerk"

"Oh Olivia!" he said. He lifted her upper body so that she was looking at him as he said. "I didn't know he would ever do anything of that! I never would have expected that. Sure I thought he was a jerk and a asshole, but that was because I thought all the guys you dates were assholes." he chuckled after saying that. He wiped her eyes and said. "Please don't blame yourself Livvie."

"Wouldn't you blame yourself if Maureen or one of your kids came to you and told you someone was hurting them? Wouldn't you blame yourself for not knowing or even suspecting?" she asked staring him in the eye.

"Of course I would. But I would want you right by my side telling I was being stupid and that it wasn't my fault" he said truthfully.

Olivia sniffed and wiped her eyes once more. She sighed feeling more tears in her eyes as she said. "What am I going to do?"

"Your going to get help. For both you and Carson. Your going to get back on your feet and be that Olivia I've always known and loved" Elliot said. He cursed himself for saying loved.

Olivia sniffed. "I don't want to impose on you or your kids Elliot."

"Olivia don't even finish that thought. You aren't going anywhere" He said simply as he handed her a tissue.

Olivia took it and said. "Elliot"

"Olivia" he responded. "I don't want you to go anywhere. You are going to stay here" he voice was challenging her to say no.

Olivia smiled and said. "I was going to say thank you"

Elliot laughed and said. "Oh. Sorry"

Olivia leaned back in the chair and groaned slightly. "I have to start all over. Get new everything. I have to get a start on the divorce papers and go back"

Elliot sat up in his chair. "Go back where? I know you aren't talking about going back to Kentucky"

Olivia looked at him and said. "Of course I have to go back. Oh not to live of course. I'm raising Carson here in New York. But I need to get back there are things that I need from that house." she said simply.

"What are you talking about? Didn't you grab everything?" Elliot asked.

"No. I was kind of in a hurry" she said sarcasm in her voice. "I need to some things"

"Care to elaborate?" Elliot asked.

"Baby pictures for starters. Things I can't buy you know" she said looking into his eyes. "I don't mean I'm going to go back this week. Hell it might not even be this month. But I have to go back and get some things and settle some things"

"Well whenever you do decide to go down there. I'm going with you"

Olivia smiled at him and she said. "I would hope you would. You wanted me. Now your stuck with me" she laughed.

Elliot laughed also. Soon after that the pizza arrived and he called all the kids to the dinner table. Carson came skipping inside the room behind Maureen with a huge smile on her face.

"Hey baby" Olivia said with a large smile.

Carson skipped over to her mother with a large smile on her face. "Hi mommy."

"Are you having fun?" Olivia asked her four year old.

"Loads of fun! We was playing Candyland!" Carson exclaimed as she took the seat Olivia left for her daughter.

"That's sounds fun" Olivia said with a smile.

Maureen smiled as she quickly took the seat next to Olivia, causing her father to sit across from them. "Liv she is so sweet!"

"And adorable" Kathleen said with a smile.

"Thanks you" Carson said with a giggle.

Olivia laughed as she shook her head. She could tell that Carson had managed to wrap the oldest Stabler kids around her little finger.

They ate the pizza while they talked. The whole conversation was Olivia catching up with the kids and the kids getting to re-know Olivia and getting to know Carson. They continued to talk ,long after the pizza was gone, on the couch. Around 9 Olivia noticed Carson sleep in Elliot's lap. She looked at him and the look said it all.

"You and Carson can have the guest room" Elliot said. Thankfully the kids stayed out of the guest room and it stayed clean. "I'll show you where"

Olivia nodded and stood up and said. "I'll see you guys later. I'm going to put her to bed."

"Okay" the Stabler kids replied.

Olivia followed Elliot to the guest room and smiled at Elliot placed Carson in the bed. She went over and said. "Can you hand me that pink bag? I'm going to put her pajamas on"

Elliot handed her the bag and said. "I'll be right back"

Olivia watched as he walked out the door. She then got her daughter in her pajamas and settled under the covers. She then placed Tiger Lily in her daughters arms. She stood and turned at the same time Elliot walked in. He placed a nightlight in the socket and the room was showered with light blue light. Olivia smiled and said. "Thank you Elliot"

"No problem" he said.
