Lost Then Found.
Olivia woke up just before 2:15. And looked over at Elliot who was still sleeping soundly by her side and… still in side her. She never wanted to move, lose the feeling but when the need to pee became to strong she slowly pulling away, groaning a bit when he slipped form her depths, feeling cold with out it.
" I really hate that part." she heard him groan.
" I thought you was sleeping?" she whispered to him.
Sitting up he smiled at her and how comfortable she felt been naked around her even with her rounding belly. " I was but then I felt cold not been inside you its like my safe haven."
Smiling she leant down kissed him softly and replied. " sorry baby but I really need to pee. There's a baby growing inside me which means more bathroom breaks, weird craving, hot flushes, getting tired quicker than usual and always been horny. Not too mention the whole swollen ankles, constant heartburn, indigestion, constant kicking of my insides and the fact that im going to start looking like a whale…"
" no your not baby."
"you clearly didn't see how big I was with Libby I looked like I was having twins." she chuckled.
"and yet I bet you still looked as beautiful as ever." he smiled.
" yeah, yeah you have to say that Stabler to came sure you keep getting laid."
" no I don't. its true I swear."
"okay.. I love you, but I really do have to pee."
Laughing he said " okay I love you too now quick go to the bathroom before you pee yourself. That could be embarrassing."
Rolling her eyes she slapped him playfully in her arm.
" I hate you!."
Noooo you don't. he said in a sing song voice. " you love me."
"God help me I do."
With that she went into the bathroom while Elliot got dressed.
" ill go make us a sandwich and we can relax with a movie until the devils return."
"Okay baby I wont be long. And there not monsters… there my kids and I get very pretective so watch what you say about them I may just have to kill you in your sleep!" she yelled back through the door.
Chuckling he said. " what ever you say dear… what ever you say. I love you!"
" I love you too."
With that he went down stairs made them a sandwich and picked out a movie to watch while they wait for the twins to get home from school and Katie and Mo to get here from collage.
They enjoyed there time cuddle on the couch watching a movie and kissing until they heard the front door open and close, then reopen to hear Dickie voice.
" What the hell Lizzie why'd you shut the door on me?"
" felt like it." she replied before walking into the living room.
"Hey! You guys are home early today what's wrong?"
Olivia and Elliot looked at one another smiled then looked back at now both the twins, " nothing we just took the day off of work."
" ohh okay."
" hey" Dickie broke in. " what time is Katie and Mo getting here im starving!"
Chuckling at him Olivia said " they will be here in about 2 hours. Then we're gunna over in Chinese, think you can wait that long sweetie?"
" ohh I suppose." they all laughed then settled into a comfortable silence watching the rest of the movie.
3 hours later the girls walked in and Dickie yelled
"you're an hour later girl, and im starving what the hell took you so long!"
Elliot hit him on the back of the head.
"hey."
Olivia hit Elliot on the back of the head.
" and just what was that for?" he pouted
She just chuckled kiss him and said. " don't ever hit the kids when mommas around." she winked at him and everyone laughed even Maureen gave a little chuckle at it.
An hour later they were all st around the table eating and enjoying each others company. Olivia and Maureen kept stealing glances at one an other which didn't go unnoticed by the rest of the table. They all wondered the same thing when would they talk to each other, and who would make the first move. They wouldn't have to wait long. Because after dinner Maureen walked in to the living room where everyone was sat talking and just looked at Olivia, with a sadness so deep it broke Olivia heart that one of her kids were hurting that bad.
" Erm… Liv?"
Silence. They all looked from Maureen to Olivia waiting to see what would happen next.
"yeah baby?" Olivia offered softly. Maureen hadn't meet Olivia's eyes until she heard her call her baby. 'does she still love me? Will she ever forgive me for hurting her so much? Will she ever stop hating me? Wait does she hate me?' all these questions circled in the young woman's head.
" Can I… will you… maybe… can I talk to you please? … erm in the den?" she asked nervously.
"of course you can sweetie." Olivia smiled as she stood up moved over to Maureen. The two woman walk away together and made there way down to the den, while the remainder of the family stayed in the living room in silence waiting for the shouting to start.
In the den Olivia watched intently as Maureen paced back and forth. Lost in her thoughts, trying to find away to make things right again.
"Mo honey, talk to me please" Olivia pleaded.
She wasn't prepared for what Maureen said next.
"I'm so sorry momma, please don't hate me anymore I never meant to upset anyone especially you, I just didn't know what to do. I felt like I you should know what a thought I saw. But I know now that I should have just kept it to myself.." she sobbed.
"Mau.."
"I never meant to hurt you I swear. You're the only mom I have and I don't want to lose you. Please don't hate me. I was just confused, I still am I can't just pretend I didn't say her mom, not like you want me to. I need to know if it was her, cos I cnt stop thinking about it!"
Olivia moved over to her as she slid down the wall to the floor and cried harder knowing everyone in the living room could hear her, but not caring anymore, she was hurting bad. Olivia pulled her into her and rocked her as she whispered in her ear. " I believe you sweetie I really do. That why I got angry, cos if it was just me thinking It I could live with it but knowing someone else felt the same thing, it scared me that's all. I don't hate you baby. I could never hate you." she said through her own tears. " and you are not going to lose me baby I'm here for you no matter what. You no that right." Maureen just nodded into Olivia's shoulder. " me and your dad are gunna talk to the guy at work that we trust. See if they will help us go through Libby's case file again, cos we both feel something's not right. We're gunna go through it and no matter how long it takes or what we have to go through. If there's something missing we're gunna find it baby. I swear. And if Libby is still alive we're gunna find her to and fetch her home. I promise no matter how long it take. We will." she said kissing her head.
" you promise?" Maureen whispered.
"yeah I promise."
"I'm so, so sorry momma." she cried
" hey, hey shhhh, you have nothing to be sorry for baby. I promise nothing at all."
They stayed sat there like that for a good hour pulling themselves together and talking, before leaving and joining the rest of the family back out in the living room.
"everything go okay?" Elliot asked as Olivia sat back down next to him. While mo sat on the love seat with Lizzie.
She smiled up at him. " yeah everything's fine babe. I told her what we're doing tomorrow, what where going to try to do. I thought she should know El she had so much guilt inside her it broke my heart. I told her not to say anything to the others until we knew ourselves if there was actually anything to tell." she whispered.
"that's fine baby. So the two of you are good?"
She kissed his cheek." yeah we're good. We're fine." she smiled at him then turned her attention to Maureen who smiled at her, then back to the T.V where they spent the rest of the night watching movies, and laughing.
What tomorrow would bring she didn't know, but she had a new purpose for it. The search for the truth of what really happened to her daughter. She also knew that no matter what the out come, with Elliot, her family and this baby she would get through everything. She finally felt like her life was beginning to mend…
But would it last?
