Hey guys! In my new story, Halloween I don't know why it isn't spaced as I wrote it. I tried to fix it, but up to no avail. On the with the story! Chapter 11 Olivia ended the call confused. Why did Nick need to talk to her? Elliot, having heard the conversation, said "Your not going alone." Liv looked at him "Why do you think I would go?" "Because I know you. And because you need answers." Elliot said simply standing up. Liv marveled at how he knew her so well, how he knew that she already made the decision to go talk to him. She stood up too and thought about what to say "I do El but not with you there." Elliot looked at her, his eyes hurt " Why?" "Because I need to talk to him, alone. I need to know why he did this, El. I need answers. Closure." Liv replied fixing herself and giving him a quick, lingering kiss. It was amazing how simple it was to kiss him. How it was necessary now when just yesterday, she didn't realize she loved him. Elliot cupped her cheeks "Can I at least drive you there?" Liv nodded, resigned. "You came." Nick said half surprised and half tired. He looked better and he was sitting up which was good. "I did. What do you want?" Liv asked crossing her arms and leaning against the door. Nick gestured to the chair "Please sit. And I'll tell you what I want." "Im fine here." Liv said brusquely. Nick shrugged and winced at the movement "Its not good for your condition but ok. I want you to keep the child. I want us to share it." Liv didn't hear him correctly "What?" Nick repeated what he said. Liv, shocked, went and sat in the chair. "Why? After all this?" "I was hurting Liv, so when I filed for sole custody, I was getting revenge. I wanted to hurt you as much you hurt me. But when everything happened, when everything spiraled out of control, when I saw that you were in pain, I realized I couldn't do this to you. That by hurting you, it was making me feel pain. So i don't want to do that anymore. So I decided that we can have joint custody if you want." Nick expressed his green intense eyes pained. Liv looked at him her face pensive and relived. This was the Nick she knew. This was the Nick she had grown to care for, the Nick she liked spending time with. And she knew she couldn't deprive him of his child. "That would be great." She replied. "I know your still mad, and I deserve it. But let me make it up to you." Nick told her. "How?" Liv inquired. "By giving you the emergency contact Langdon gave me." Nick said writing it down on a piece of napkin and handing it to her. Liv took it and glared at him "You had this the whole time and you didn't say anything?" "Yes I did." Nick calmly told her. Liv shot out of her seat "What the hell, Nick? We could have caught him by now!" "And now you will. Go, i'll wait here." He gave her his cute, familiar smile. She sighed heavily, gave him a look, and left the room. "Whats that?" Elliot asked when Liv shut the door behind her and saw something white sticking out from her clenched fist. Liv sighed "Nick gave me the emergency number that Langdon gave him." "What? Why didn't he give it to you sooner?" Elliot asked his voice controlled, but his anger evident. "Thats what I asked. Anyways lets just get to the prescient to hand this in." Liv said looking out the window. Elliot went for the ignition but then stopped and looked at her "What did he want?" "He's dropping the charges. He wants us to share the child." Liv answered not looking at him. "Really? Thats good, right?" Elliot asked, his voice confused. Why was she silent? What did he tell her that she wasn't letting on? Liv looked at him "Yea it is." "Then whats the problem?" "I" Liv began but stopped. She didn't know why all of the sudden she couldn't look at Elliot, why she was feeling weird. But as she gazed at him, she knew the answer. "I don't want the child to have two fathers, El." "What do you mean?" Elliot asked, suddenly overcome with fear. "I want the child to get to know his real father, which it will. But now that were together…does that mean your going to be the father too? Do you need another child to add on to your plate? No. So maybe we need to stop this. Just until I figure things out." Liv responded her eyes sad, but fierce. Elliot swallowed the lump in his throat " He doesn't have to have two fathers, Liv. I know it isn't mine, and I know that Nick will always be part of your life. I completely understand and respect that. But you saying that Im just adding another child to my plate? And that we should stop this wonderful thing between us? I cant comprehend. I know your making this design out of fear, and confusion. But don't worry Liv. I will always be here, and in the near future Liv, I do want to have a child with you. So please, don't say ugly things that are breaking my heart." During this speech, he took her hands and gently wiped the tears that have fallen out of her eyes. They looked at each other for a long time. Neither one moving until Liv closed the gap and kissed him softly. "I needed to hear that." Elliot cupped her cheeks "What I love about you is that you take the time to listen, and you take peoples advice." Liv smiled and kissed him again. "How did you get this?" Munch asked. Liv and Elliot were at the prescient, and just gave the new evidence to Munch. "Long story can we just find out where he is?" Liv asked, not wanting to get into the whole Nick story. "Of course." Munch answered and went to the computer labs office. One hour later. "Well?" Elliot asked when Munch came back. "He's here in New York." John said taking off his jacket. "Where?" El inquried. John looked at Olivia. "He's in the building across from yours." OMG! What? What a creeper! Hope you liked it! Mwa!
