It hadn't taken long for Maureen to cry herself back to sleep, and Olivia got up, tucking her into the couch, and walking back into the bedroom. Eli had finished his cereal, and Olivia silently took the bowl, carrying it into the kitchen and putting it in the dishwasher, before going back into the bedroom.

"Everything ok?" Elliot asked as Olivia grabbed some clothes from the closet, heading into the bathroom to get dressed.

"Yeah," Olivia assured him, closing the door behind her, mainly for the sake of Eli.

She emerged a few minutes later, fully dressed, and walked to Elliot, kissing him deeply and grabbing the car keys,"I have to go do something, I'll be back in a little while," she assured him.

Elliot looked at her with a confused expression,"Where are you going?" he asked curiously.

Olivia shook her head,"I just have to run a few errands, baby. I'll be right back," she assured him again, kissing him once more, before heading out of the room. She got in the car and was quick to make her way to the precinct, passing the elevator and heading right for the stairs. She rushed up the stairs, heading straight for Cragen's office when she made it to the right floor. "Why didn't you tell me?" she asked, closing the door behind her.

"Tell you what?" he asked curiously.

Olivia shook her head, rolling her eyes,"Don't play dumb with me," she said.

Cragen sighed,"I didn't want Elliot to know," he said simply.

Olivia shook her head,"Did Maureen tell you anything?" she asked.

Cragen nodded,"She told me everything that she probably just told you," he replied.

Olivia sighed, sinking into a chair,"What are we going to do?" she asked.

Cragen shook his head,"We aren't going to do anything," he said,"We are going to sit back, and wait to see if he gets convicted. If he does, then we don't have anything to worry about, if he doesn't. Well, then, we'll deal with it," he finished.

Olivia looked at him, shocked,"That's all?" she asked.

Cragen sighed,"Olivia, that is all we can do right now," he reminded her.

Olivia nodded,"Ok. I'll see you tomorrow," she said simply, getting ready to head out of the office, but stopping when she heard Cragen ask a question, a question that she really hoped it would be a while before she had to answer.

"What's going on with you and Elliot?" Cragen asked.

Olivia sighed, turning back around to face him,"What do you mean?" she asked.

Cragen shook his head,"Cut the crap, Olivia. Please, just be honest with me. It's obvious to everyone that the relationship between the two of you has changed. I just need to hear it from you," he said.

Olivia cleared her throat,"We are, seeing each other," she said simply.

Cragen nodded,"Thank you for being honest with me," he said, looking down at some of the papers on his desk.

"Are you going to split us up?" Olivia asked.

Cragen shook his head,"Not if I can help it," he said simply, leaving Olivia to wonder what was going to happen now as she wondered out of the building, and into her car. She took a deep breath, before heading back to Elliot's house. She walked in, finding Elliot sitting with Maureen on the couch, a furious look on his face.

"Daddy, you can't. That's exactly what he wants. You can't go to jail for assaulting him, because you have to be here to protect 'Livia!" Maureen exclaimed.

Olivia shut the door, alerting them of her presence,"You went to see Cragen, didn't you?" Elliot asked.

Olivia nodded,"I'm sorry I didn't tell you. Maureen asked me not too," she said, making her way to him, dropping the keys on the coffee table before sitting down next to Elliot.

"Don't be mad at her daddy, she didn't do anything," Maureen pleaded.

Elliot took a deep breath, shaking his head,"I'm not mad at either of you. I'm just," he stopped mid sentence, failing to find words, and getting up, heading for the stairs.

Olivia got up to follow him,"It's ok, Mo. He's not mad at you, or me. He's just frustrated," she assured her. Olivia followed Elliot's path up the stairs, and found the ladder to the attic down. She climbed the ladder, finding Elliot looking at the four cribs sitting in front of him. "You ok?" she asked, touching his shoulder gently.

Elliot nodded,"I'm fine, Liv. I think the real question is, are you ok?" he asked, pulling her into his arms.

Olivia sighed and nodded,"I'm fine. I know that you won't let anything happen to me. I'm not all that worried, anyway. I could kick Cassidy's ass with one hand tied behind my back, blindfolded," she said chuckling.

Elliot was completely serious, though, not even cracking a smile,"Come on, Liv. This is serious. Obviously, if he's been obsessed with you for this long, he is one crazy mother fucker," he said.

Olivia sighed, nodding,"Yeah, El, he probably is, but like I said, I'm not really worried. I can take care of myself," she said, smiling as she added,"And I've got you. You would never let anything or anyone hurt me."

Elliot smirked,"Damn right," he said, leaning forward to kiss her. "I love you, Liv, and I promise that asshole will ever even get within two hundred feet of you, baby," he assured her.

Olivia chuckled,"I love you, too, honey," she said, being pulled in for another kiss. "Oh," Olivia said, pulling away to look at Elliot,"Cragen kind of knows about us," she said.

Elliot's eyes widened,"How did he find out? Is he going to split us up?" he asked quickly.

Olivia sighed,"He, he asked me when I went to talk to him about Cassidy. I figured that lying would only make it worse, so i just told him the truth. He said that he wasn't going to split us up, if he could help it. I don't really know definitively what that means," she replied.

Elliot shrugged,"I guess it was probably for the best. Whatever happens, happens. If we have to switch partners, I'll take Munch and his damn conspiracies. Fin can take better care of you. Not as good as me, of course, but better than Munch. And if one of us has to transfer, I'll do it. I know how much this unit means to you," he rambled.

Olivia kissed him to quiet him,"El, don't worry. We will deal with all of that, if it happens," she said simply, kissing him again, allowing him to deepen it.

She sighed into the kiss, hoping that things with Cragen would be alright, hoping that Cassidy would be put in jail, hoping that Maureen would be able to move past what happened to her, and just hoping that everything would work out for them. They deserved to be happy.

Next up, we find out if Cassidy was convicted. We find out what Cragen does. And Elliot takes Olivia out on a very romantic date, to try to take her mind off of everything that's happening. But for now, what did you think of this chapter?
