So the last chapter was sort of a gap filler but this chapter is where things start to kick off, I could have finished this story off like I said, but what comes next I was planning on making into a sequel, but I decided this story just wasn't ready to end yet. So I hope you agree.

Disclaimer: If I owned them I wouldn't be sat at home, in bed watching Pochahontas, because I can't be bothered getting up to grab the remote control to turn over, and keeping my tushy warm with an electric blanket, I'd be on some hot beach in Hawaii typing away on my laptop while a waiter brought me Malibu and cokes and my nephew played in the sand, for some odd reason he likes to eat it, not too sure as to why.

Anywhoo…

This takes place about a couple of weeks after the last chapter.

For the record this is a really long chapter.

Chapter 11

Olivia and Elliot walked into the squad room. They had just been out for lunch. Elliot had taken her out to celebrate her having moved apartment. She still lived in the same building but had moved a floor when a two bedroom came available.

They were both laughing and were both in a great mood and ready for shift, or so they thought. "Hey Liv there's some guy here for you." Munch said pointing to the man who stood in between Fin's and Elliot's desk.

Olivia looked at the man who stood there. Although he had clearly aged he hadn't altered at all in looks. He was still built like a skeleton, his green eyes still pierced her skin and he still made her skin want to literally crawl off her body and as far away from her as it could get.

"Hi Olivia, god you look great." The man said.

Olivia threw her jacket onto her desk and stormed over to him and threw her right fist into his face. He immediately fell smack on the floor, she began kicking him and carried on until Fin pulled her off him and passed her to Elliot who carried her away.

"You son-of-a-bitch! You stay away from us!" She yelled as Elliot took her into the interview room.

Once inside Elliot half let go of and was half pushed away by Olivia. She walked away from him and ran her hands thought her hair trying to regain some composure.

"Who are you and what have you done with Olivia?" Elliot said, completely baffled by her behaviour. She ignored him. "Olivia..!" He said a little louder.

"Don't…!" She spat back at him.

"Olivia your not gonna push me away again. Now, who the hell is that and what the hell was all that about?" He yelled at her, not really meaning to do it, but it hurt him that they were drifting apart, they were best friends and their relationship at time was complicated but they were always there for one another in the past. "If you don't ask me maybe I should go ask him." Elliot threatened.

Olivia turned to face him. He could see the pain on her face and it made him feel like a total jerk, he just wanted to hold her and apologise. "That's Kate's father." Olivia told him, teary eyed.

Elliot looked at her for a moment. He was hoping that looking at her would distract him from what it was that his head was telling him to do. It didn't work. He opened the door and stormed out, Olivia quickly followed.

Fin and Munch had only just steadied the man when Elliot grabbed him and pushed him down on his desk and began hitting him over and over. "Hey…" Fin shouted.

"Elliot stop!" Munch yelled. It took both him and Fin to pull Elliot off the man. "Christ what is it, national beat up the guest day." Munch continued.

"Elliot, Olivia my office, now." Cragen said as he stood in the doorway to his office.

"What's going on?" Kate asked as she walked in. Olivia ran over to Kate and grabbed her and took her into Cragen's office. Elliot followed them in, followed by Cragen.

"Would one of you care to explain to me what all that was about? I have a feeling I didn't witness the whole thing so lets not be vague on the details." Cragen ordered as he walked around to his desk and sat down.

Olivia and Elliot looked at each other. Kate wanted answers as much as Cragen. "Was that guy a perp?" She asked. Olivia was seriously thinking about banning Kate completely from the station house, she was starting to talk like them.

Munch knocked on the door. "What is it Munch?" Cragen yelled sounding extremely peeved. Munch pushed the door open and looked around it. "Liv your 'friend' said that he has to go and that he'll be in touch." He told her.

Olivia looked out of the window, he had indeed gone. "Err…John will you take Kate and just keep an eye on her for me?" Olivia asked, her eyes pleaded with him.

He nodded. "Sure." Kate glared at Olivia, it annoyed her that she always tried to protect her from everything, she had seen just as much as she had and she didn't need protecting. Olivia knew she was pissed off at her, she could see it in her eyes. Kate shook her head as she ducked under Munchs' arm and stormed out.

Munch smiled at them and closed the door. Elliot and Olivia looked at each other. "Well?" Cragen said, wanting answers. Again they both stayed silent and just looked at each other.

"If you two pull the 'I'm watching my partners back' crap on me I'll have you both on desk duty till you retire." Cragen warned them. Yet again they stayed silent. He looked at them both disappointed. "Have it your way." He said annoyed.

"That man out there is Kate's father. He's the man that raped me." Olivia informed him. She had had to tell Cragen about the way in which Kate's was conceived, a couple of weeks ago.

"In that case I hope you hit the son-uv-a-bitch hard." Cragen said. It made both Olivia and Elliot smile. He walked round the front of his desk and took Olivia's hand in his hand. Her knuckles where cut and oozing blood.

"Are you okay?" Cragen asked her. She nodded and gently pulled her hand away from his hand. "I'm fine…it's just…that…I haven't seen…" She couldn't stand to say his name and it made her sick to have to think about him.

Cragen and Elliot both looked at her, they could see how hard this was for her, and they didn't know it, but both of them was imagining beating the living day lights out of the man.

"I haven't seen him since that night. Well I did once…He came to my college dorm room, my mother had slipped up when she was drunk and had told him I was pregnant. He wanted to know if the baby was his. I managed to persuade him to go, but I ended up going into labour." Olivia told them.

"I told you I drove myself to the hospital but the truth was I couldn't even do that." She said to Elliot. "I rang my mother but she didn't want to know she was too settled with a bottle of vodka in front of the T.V. so I got a taxi and got to the hospital just in time." She said.

"He told me that night, that as soon as the baby was born he was going to take it away. That's one of the reasons I knew I had to give her up. God only knows what he would have done to her." Olivia continued.

"You told me he was a professor. What of?" Cragen asked.

"He taught law." Olivia told him. It was one of the things that had stopped her from reporting it. She knew people would believe the law professor and not her.

"Well that's probably why he's buzzing around you again now. He knows you can't report the rape. It's been well over five years, so you can't bring the charges up on him." Elliot said.

Olivia nodded. "It's not me he wants it Kate." She said, it made her sick to the pit of her stomach to say it but she knew it was the truth.

"He must have seen yours and Kate's picture in the paper after the kidnapping. Guess he put two and two together and worked out Kate was your child" Elliot said.

"He might have put two and two together but he came up with 5 if he thinks I'm letting him have anything to do with her." Olivia stated.

Olivia put the Chinese she had ordered down on the coffee table. "Kate get your behind out of that bathtub now!" She yelled.

Kate walked out of the bathroom in her pyjamas. The bathroom was situated between the two bedrooms, the kitchen and living area where again opened planned just like her old apartment, but this one was much bigger. "Why are you allowed to spend an hour in the bathtub every night and I'm only allowed 20 minutes?" Kate said in protest.

"Because you always choose to take a bath after I've ordered food. I've ate mine, so yours is probably cold now. Eat up. I'm going for my bath." Olivia said as she walked over to the bathroom.

Kate sat down and began eating the food that wasn't too cold. There was a knock on the door. "I'll get it!" She yelled as she got up and ran over to the door. She swung it open to reveal a man standing there. "Can I help you…?" She said before she recognised him as the same man from the station house.

"You must be Kate?" He said smiling at her.

"Yea. You were at the station house." Kate exclaimed.

"I was. I was actually there to see you…" He said, Kate had already decided she didn't like him.

"Mom…!" She yelled. Olivia heard her. She turned the taps off and ran out. She immediately saw him standing in the doorway. "Kate go to your room." Olivia said as she stood in front of her.

"Why?" Kate asked.

"Kate go!" Olivia yelled as she glared at her. Her eyes said 'ignore me and your grounded for the rest of you life'. Kate scoffed and walked over to the couch to finish eating her food.

Olivia pushed him back so they were standing in the hall. She closed the door over behind her. "I have no idea what you want Sloane, but if you think I'm gonna let you anywhere near her you have another thing coming." She said angrily.

"You couldn't stop me then Olivia, what makes you think you can now." He said with a sickening smile on his face. Olivia swung her arm to slap him, but he grabbed her wrist and held it in place, he then slapped her with the back of his hand. She fell back into the wall as he let go of her wrist.

He pushed himself right against her so she was sandwiched between him and the wall. "What are you going to do Olivia?" He said smugly as he stroked her face, it made her want to be sick.

"Get off of her." Kate said as she kicked him in the leg as hard as she could. Olivia punched him and they both pushed him back into the lift. Kate hit the down button. "This isn't over Olivia!" He promised as the doors closed.

They both watched as the doors closed. They were both silenced by his words. Kate looked at Olivia, she was holding her face. She had heard the slap but she hadn't seen it. It made her mad to know it was Olivia who had been injured.

"Come on back inside." Kate said. She put her arm around Olivia's waist and although not necessary, assisted her back into the apartment. Once inside she led Olivia to the couch. She ran over and closed the door, she walked over to the freezer and pulled out a bag of frozen peas and walked back over to Olivia.

She sat on the coffee table in front of the couch and put the frozen bag over the red mark on her face. "Why do boys always slap your face?" Kate said.

"You've been slapped?" Olivia asked her.

"Slapped, punched, kicked, strangled, hit by a car, stabbed…" Kate went on.

"You were stabbed?" Olivia asked in disbelief.

"Oh yea this one time me and Callie found some money on the floor, so we got a breakfast from McDonalds. Well this guy, we used to call him crazy Steve, he lived…lives in central park. Anyway he decided he wanted my pancakes and syrup and we got into this big fight and he stabbed me the spork thing they give you. It snapped before it did any real damage but then Callie stabbed him the plastic knife and he ran off." Kate said.

Olivia just looked at her. "When were you run over?" She asked.

Kate had to smile at her concern. "I was running away from the police this one time. I had just robbed some guy's wallet and I didn't see the car as I ran across the street and it ran straight into me, the cops caught me and I got put in another foster home." Kate said.

She took the peas away from Olivia's face. "You really have been through hell haven't you?" Olivia said feeling guilty.

"Yea, but getting to finally know you make's up for it. Just do me a favour. Don't think you have to protect or shield me from all the horrible things in the world. I've seen em' remember. God I've seen two guys kill each other over a mouldy sandwich. Talk to me about stuff." Kate said

Olivia shook her head. "Sorry. Sometimes I forget that that your 15 going on 30." Olivia said making them both laugh.

Kate threw the frozen peas down on the coffee table and climbed onto the couch next to Olivia, she draped her legs across Olivia's. Suddenly the door flew open and Elliot came in. "What's going on, where is he?" He said, obviously out of breath.

"I called him." Kate told Olivia who looked shocked and confused. She had rang him after Olivia had closed the door. "Okay, but you know this communication thing works both ways, okay kiddo?" She said.

Kate nodded in agreement. "Okay look you should get do bed, you have school in the morning." Olivia said.

"Don't remind me." Kate said unenthusiastically at the thought of school. Kate gave Olivia a goodnight kiss and a hug then got up off the couch. "Goodnight Mom, night El." She said as she walked towards her room.

"Night Kate." Elliot said. Once Kate was in her room Elliot sat down next to Olivia. "Did he do that?" He asked, noticing her red cheek.

"Don't worry about him." Olivia said.

"I don't I worry about you." He said. "And Kate…God I drove over here with my foot flat on the pedal and my lights wailing." He added.

Olivia had to smile at his concern. Elliot started to chuckle to himself. "What?" She asked.

"Nothing it's just, you suit being a Mom." Elliot said.

Olivia looked at him smiling. She wanted to say something but didn't know what exactly. He looked right back at her. "What?" She said again, for some reason he had her almost speechless.

He brought his hand up to her face, and gently stroked the red bruise. She closed her eyes, his touch made her body tingle, but in a good way. She opened her eyes again, his smile was gone and he was looking deep into her eyes.

She looked at his eyes, they were like crystal blue pools, she wanted to just grab his face and kiss him. The sane part in her told her to keep her butt placed firmly on the couch. He was her partner and wouldn't be interested, or so she thought…

Elliot leant forward and kissed her gently on the lips. After taking a second to work out she wasn't day dreaming she relaxed into the kiss, not sure whether it was the right thing to do.

He finally pulled away for a breath. They both shuffled away from each other a little and both cleared their throats trying to break the silence that had fallen upon them. "Elliot I…" Olivia began.

"No Liv, I'm sorry I shouldn't have done that…the adrenaline rush I got on my way over here had gone straight to my head." He said laughing, they both decided to laugh it off.

Again things went silent. "Okay look I'm gonna go. Err, it's late. I guess I'll see you in the morning." Elliot said sheepishly as he walked over to the door. He opened it and walked out and closing the door behind him.

Olivia stood there for a moment, she touched her lips with her fingers, she wasn't convinced that she was actually awake or that Elliot had in fact, just kissed her. Suddenly the door opened and Elliot came back in, he walked right up to her and kissed her again. She didn't mind but it didn't help her confused head.

He pulled away from her and nodded. "I forgot to say goodnight." He said then walked out again. Olivia nodded but remained there for a second, her head was totally cabbaged. She decided bed was the best chance she had of clearing her head.

Ah ha, I didn't plan on this being E/O but I decided to add some E/O fun.
