Apologies

Olivia left early that night, so Elliot was stuck writing the paper work for the case. He finally finished when he ran into Casey as she was leaving.

"What are you doing here?" Elliot asked when he saw her.

"I was actually looking for you." Casey answered.

"For me? Why?" Elliot asked.

"Olivia's pretty hurt Elliot." She answered, getting right to the point.

"Casey, she was the one who…" Elliot began.

"No, I don't want to hear it." Casey interrupted him but holding up a hand. "All I know is that Olivia was in tears today because she thinks that she's lost you forever. Now I don't care whose fault it is, all I care about is that you two talk about this. You are both adults and you're getting married in a little more than a month, so either resolve this now, or there won't be a wedding. Do either of you want that?" She asked before turning and leaving him alone in the entrance of the precinct.

Elliot thought it over for a moment before deciding that Olivia meant more to him than his stubborn pride. He hauled a cab, and told the driver to get to Olivia's house as fast as he could.

He let himself into the building and then into the apartment. He looked around for Olivia, but soon recognized that sound of the shower, and the all too familiar sound of Olivia crying.

He tip toed over to the door, and opened it cautiously. When he peeked his head in he noticed her crying in the shower.

"Liv, Olivia?" He called in quietly, so as not to startle her.

Unfortunately, his attempt was in vain because she almost hit the ceiling she was so startled.

"Elliot, what the hell are you doing here!" She asked, pulling her shower curtain around her so that she could still peek her head out to see Elliot.

"I, we need to talk." He said opening the door to let himself into the steam filled room.

Olivia just nodded her head, grabbed her towel off the rack, wrapped it around herself, turned off the steady stream of water, and stepped out onto the tiled floor.

"What?" She asked, hurt and anger still dripping from her voice.

"I'm sorry." He simply said. "I'm so sorry. I acted like a jerk. But Olivia, you have to understand that my worst fears came true when he proposed to you." He said quickly. "I thought I was gonna lose you."

"Elliot." Olivia said, this time with compassion in her voice. She took his hand and searched his eyes. "I would never leave you for anyone, especially Kevin. If you had stuck around you would have seen that I said no to him. I don't want him, I only want you, that's why I said yes when you asked me." She explained.

"Then why did you have dinner with him?" Elliot asked, looking at the floor.

"Because I was mad at you for getting so jealous. I'm sorry for that." She smiled.

"I thought you were having second thoughts about the wedding." Elliot finally revealed.

Olivia stroked his face with her hand, and forced him to look at her. "I never once had doubts about us." She smiled. "I just, I needed closure on that part of my life before I started this new chapter with you."

Elliot smiled, and sat on her toilet seat cover. He pulled her so that she was sitting on his lap.

"El, I'm wet." She tried to protest.

'I don't care." He answered. "I was a jerk, and I'm sorry. But there's something else."

"No there isn't." She argued.

"I know you were upset over our fight, but that wouldn't make you cry the way you were in the shower before. What happened?" He pushed.

Olivia knew that she wasn't going to win, so she decided to just tell him. "I, I thought I was pregnant." She answered quietly.

"What? Why didn't you tell me?" Elliot asked shocked.

"Because we were fighting, and there never seemed to be a right time." She sighed. "Besides, it doesn't really matter, because I'm not."

"Oh, Liv, I'm sorry." He soothed. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just. I mean, at first, I didn't want to be pregnant. I wasn't even sure if we were still getting married, and the thought of raising a child on my own scares me." She said honestly. "But then, I started thinking about it. And about everything I would get to do as a mom, and I really wanted it." She said as her voice cracked.

"Liv, it's okay." Elliot comforted pulling her close. "We'll have a baby." He assured her. "I promise."

"Elliot, let's face it, we're not getting any younger." She noted.

"So, we could always start trying early." He said wagging his eye brows.

"Elliot." Olivia laughed as she swatted at his chest playfully.

"What? I'm serious." He laughed back. "In fact, with the wedding in less than two months, you could get pregnant next week, and still fit in your dress." He smiled.

"I love you." Olivia smile back and kissed him.

"I love you two." He answered pulling her close to him.

Later that night Elliot was awoken by the ringing of Olivia's phone. He could tell it had been a while since she hadgotten a good nights sleep, so decided to answer it for her.

"Benson residence." He said with a smile, knowing that by the end of the week he wouldn't have to say that because they would both be residing in the same apartment.

"Hello?" He called into the phone when there was no answer.

"Detective Stabler?" An all too familiar voice asked into the phone.

"White?" Elliot asked with shock as he sat up in the bed. "What the hell do you want?"

"What are you doing at Olivia's apartment at this time of night? Don't tell me, you're the man who made her cry the other day!" He said with sadistic ness. "Well I'll be. Looks like I missed a lot while I was on the inside."

"How did you get this number?" Elliot demanded.

"Every thing seems easier after spending seven years locked up for rape." He smiled into the phone. "Look, just tell Olivia I'm afraid our little get together is gonna have to be postponed. Something came up with a friend of mine, and it looks like he's gonna need some help. But I'll see her soon enough." With that Elliot heard the click of the line being hung up.

He returned Olivia's phone to the cradle and turned over in bed to see Olivia wide awake.

"Why didn't you tell me about White?" Elliot asked.

"Because I could handle it." Olivia answered.

"How long?" Elliot simply asked.

"About a week." Olivia answered. "What did he say?"

"That you're 'get together' was going to be 'postponed' because he had to 'help a friend' with something." Elliot answered.

"Well that's good then. That means he's done harassing me, and is now the parole board's problem." Olivia smiled. "El, don't worry about him. He couldn't get to me years ago; he can't get to me now. Go back to sleep."

With that she turned back over and for the first time in a week was able to sleep. With Elliot in the bed next to her, her wedding soon approaching, and White finally backing off, she felt like her life was finally back on track.

Unfortunately, she didn't anticipate the danger that was looming in her future.

TBC... Tell me what you think. Everyone seemed to be sick of all the fighting, so their back together! White will play an important role in the future, so stay tuned for what's coming nexy. Although the next few chapters are mainly fluff
