Lost Then Found.
The next day was mad to say the least. Dickie couldn't find his soccer kit, Lizzie couldn't find her chemistry book, and Katie and Mo were fighting on the landing. Mo wanted a shower and Kathleen wanted to do her hair and make up.
" You know for two girls living on campus they sure do spend most night here." Elliot whispered to Olivia.
Chuckling at him she whispered back. "is that a problem?"
"no. not at all I'm just wondering why we pay for them to stay there if there gunna spend most of the week here."
" well that Stabler, is for incase they need to get away from you, they always have somewhere to escape to."
"Okay why is always me that our kids need to get away from and never you?… and should I start getting offended by it? They used to love spending time with me." he pouted
Laughing at the look on his face, she put his arms around his neck. " Awww don't worry about it baby their getting old now they don't want to be around their daddy all the time. Sometimes they need some space to have fun. And…." she said trailing lips to his ear and her right hand down between his legs giving him a light squeeze. " I always want to be around you, with you,….on you" she added seductively " especially now baby" she whispered right in to his ear making him shiver and let out a groan.
"baby don't do that the kids are all up and your mking me want to take against the wall. Will be very disturbing for them if they caught us."
"yeah but it would be a hell of a lot of fun for us." she whispered snaking her hand into his work pants and briefs giving him a gentle tug listening to the growl come from his throat.
"baby!" just as he got his hand into her pants and panties. They heard one of the kids at the top of the stairs about to walk down them. They both groan. And she pulled her hand out of his pants. " Later." she whispered. He swiped at her wet core once making her whimper. " Later." he whispered removing his hand just as they heard the foot steps coming down the stairs.
They finished their breakfast and waved all the kids off as two got on the school bus, and the other two drove off to campus.
Work wasn't any better. Not for Olivia anyway. She had left her handcuffs attached to the bed. After last night when she woke Elliot up at 2am putting them on him and riding him for over an hour. Then her computer wouldn't turn on, when she finally got it on her backspace button wouldn't work. She was running to the bathroom every 20 minutes to either throw up or pee. She was crabby because she couldn't drink coffee. And all she wanted was for Elliot to fuck her senseless. To top it all off she wanted fries with chilli sauce, and it was only 8:30am. 'yep' she thought 'today is going to be long'.
At 9am Fin and Munch walked through the doors and headed to their desks. Nick and Amanda had walked in 10 minutes after Olivia and Elliot so everyone they wanted to talk to. Now all the had to do was find away to do it.
Elliot looked at Olivia asking a silent question. She nodded her head so they got up and walked to Cragen's office, knocked on the door and waited.
" Come in!" they heard come through the door.
"Hey cap can we come inn for a minute please." Elliot asked.
"he looked up to see both Elliot and Olivia stood there, the look on their faces told him its was important. " sure come in take a seat. How you feeling Liv?"
"I'm good a bit sick but that to be expected for awhile." she answered truthfully. Elliot just looked at her confessed. " Don and Munch kinda figured out I was pregnant yesterday while you were.. Well you know, and so they know."
" ohh okay."
" yeah congratulations Elliot. Ohh and Fin knows too, I let it slip before we went to talk to him." he said looking at Olivia.
" its okay so we just got to tell Nick and Amanda then everyone close to us know. Well apart from Casey, Alex and Melinda, but I'm going to lunch with them to today so ill tell them then. I'm gunna ask Melinda if there's anything she can do to help us while we're there."
"okay."
"hello… do the two of you want to tell me why you came in here, or should I just take a seat and listen to this conversation?" Cragen asked smiling at the two of them.
" ohh yeah sorry Cap, well we actually want to talk to you, Fin, Munch, Nick and Amanda."
"okay well I'll go call them in then."
"thanks."
"no problem."
With that he went that he went to the door and called the other four into his office. When everyone was there he stared at them all, but his gaze stayed fixed on Olivia. He could see the fear, in her eyes, he was seeing that a lot lately, but there was something else there that he hadn't seen in a long time. Hope.
Walking over to her he knelt down in front of her, put his hand on her knee, she put her on top of his and looked in to his eyes, the eyes of the man she considered her father.
"whats going on Liv."
"Dad we need your help and for it we need you to keep an open mind but… I don't know it might just be wishful thinking." she blurted out to him, to them.
He looked at her knowing it most be personal and hard for her if she had called her dad. She only ever did that if she was, hurt, scared, upset or really happy.
"okay baby calm down breath and tell me what its about."
" I… no we think that Libby could still be alive." she whispered.
" without hesitation Fin jumped in. " tell us what you guys need us to do baby girl?"
"well that just it we don't know what we need to do ourselves."
" well tell us everything, what started this thinking off, from the beginning and we'll go from there." Cragen encouraged.
"you think we're mad for thinking it don't you." Elliot whispered.
" no. not all." Nick and Amanda said at the same time.
" just tell us and will go from there sweetie." Cragen said. Holding Olivia's hand and looking into her eyes.
"okay." she said.
They spent the next 20 minutes tell them what Maureen had told them she saw and how sure she was it was Libby, how they believe there was a cover up somehow. And how they thought Dean Potter had something to do with it. When they finished Cragen pulled Olivia up into his arms and kissed her head as she cried into his neck.
" please we really need your help Dad." Olivia
"and you have it all of ours… right."
"yes." came the words from the rest of the group.
" thank you. This means a lot to us." Elliot said. His voice full of emotion.
" don't mention it we're family. And so is Libby. If she's still out there we will find her. We wont stop until we do." nick affirmed them.
" so where do we start Cap?" Amanda asked.
With his arms still wrapped around Olivia. He said. " You, nick, Fin and Munch stay on this case make sure there's nothing they miss or don't inform us about. Shadow them if you have to. Me and Elliot will go through everything on Libby's case and make sure everything's in order then try and see if we can work out what they didn't tell us."
" we on it Cap." Munch said. He put a hand on Olivia's shoulder gave it a gentle squeeze and said. " don't worry Liv, if there's something missing we'll find it. I promise." without moving form Don's embrace she nodded her head at him.
" ohh and Nick, Amanda, we just wanted you to know Liv's just over 3 months pregnant." Elliot said.
" that's great. Congratulation guys." Amanda smiled at him
"yeah that great new guys." he looked directly at Elliot and said. "don't worry we'll try to keep stress off Olivia as much as we can."
Smiling Elliot replied. " thanks man."
" ohh and keep an eye on Porter Cos If he has anything to do with this he's gunna be good at covering his tracks." they all nodded and walked out the room.
Still holding Olivia in his arms Cragen spoke again. " I'm gunna inform Tucker. He's gunna want to know. He already things it strange he asked to keep the two of you off this case. And I think its cos he knows the people working it would eventually going looking in to Libby's. he'll help as much as he can guys."
Elliot just nodded not quite sure if he was ready to trust Tucker With this. Cragen sensed this and said. " Elliot as much grief as he gave you at the start of your relationship. He knows your both good at your job… damn good. He knows you're the best team the NYPD have, he's not gunna use this against you. If anything he'll do anything to protect it."
"Okay Cap, thanks, for everything."
"don't mention it, Lives Like a daughter to me, when she hurts I hurt, I'll always trust her judgement. And yours." he kissed Olivia's head once again and looked down to find that she had fallen asleep in his arms. He stroked her hair and looked up at Elliot.
"Elliot. Could you pull the bed out in the corner please. She's asleep." he whispered.
"yeah okay." he walked over to the bed their captain kept in his office for the long cases they had or when he just didn't want to go home. He walk back over to them and carefully lifted Olivia into his arms and carried her to the bed. She stirred as he placed her on it but she just turn on to her side facing away from them and went fell back into a deep sleep.
They left the room and turned to each other.
"El go pick up Libby's case file, I'm gunna call Tucker let him know and see what he can do."
"okay. I'm on it." with that he grabbed his things and left to get the file.
" Hey guys!" Cragen called to the others.
They all looked up at him.
"no one goes in that office. Olivia's sleeping make sure no-one goes to knock on the door, im just going into one of the interrogation rooms to call some people for help. I wont be long. Remember. I don't want her disturbed." pointing to his office door, " if I'm not in there no one goes in. got it?"
"yeah Cap we got it." Fin replied.
Looking back to Olivia his heart melted and broke at the same time. He knew she most be worried, terrified at what they would uncover. She would help anyone, do anything for someone who needed help and now was the time for her to get some repayments. As tough skinned and strong he knew she was she was also very vulnerable especially when it came to her family, her kids. As scared as she was. As scared as they all were, he knew they were one step closer to find out the truth, one step closer to either getting closure on Libby or Bringing her home. That in mind he smiled once more at her, and closed the door to go call Tucker, and someone else. Someone they knew would be able to help them get the truth.
To Be Continued…
So there we have it… of course they were going to help them. But who else other than Tucker has Cragen called for help, and just how can they help them with this? David comes back to the Precinct to see Olivia while Elliot's not there. Or is he? And we meet Troy Black. But he's not who anyone thinks he is. So just who is he.? Want to know. Then review and let me know what you think so far!. Peace. xox
