Meredith

Elliot made sure that Luke got strapped in the backseat of his car and went around to the driver's door. He started the car and drove toward the school.

"Daddy," a little voice came from the back seat.

Elliot smiled, he still couldn't believe that he had his kids back, "Luke."

"Why can't I call you daddy at school?"

"Well, Luke, you can't call me daddy at school because at school I am your teacher and they think I don't have any kids. I had to tell them that because I am pretending, remember?"

"Yeah."

"Okay, so let's do this. I'll pretend to be Mr. Jones and you pretend that you are Lucas Stabler and your dad is in Heaven, just like before you knew I was your daddy. Is that okay?"

Luke thought for a second, "Yeah, I can do that."

"Good. But after school you can come with me and not go to afterschool, okay?"

Luke smiled, "Yay!"

Elliot chuckled. They pulled into the parking lot of the school and Elliot exited the car. He went to the other side of the car and got Luke out. They walked up to the school and went toward Elliot's classroom.

Elliot groaned as he saw Meredith Edwards waiting for him outside his classroom. He turned to Luke, "Hey Luke," Luke looked up at him, "Why don't you go ahead inside the class? I'm going to talk to Ms Edwards for a minute. Okay?"

Luke looked up at Elliot, "Okay Mr. Jones," Elliot smiled; he was proud that Luke remembered what he had told him. He watched as Luke went inside the classroom and immediately went to his chair to draw. Elliot looked back to Meredith.

"What? Why are you waiting for me?"

"Well, good morning to you too."

"Sorry, good morning. Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to make sure you were alright. I know you said something came up but I just wanted to see for myself."

"I'm fine. I need to get to my class now."

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to make it up and go out with me tonight."

"I can't sorry. I told you last night that it wasn't going to work. How many times do I have to tell you that before you listen to me?"

"I just don't see why you think it wouldn't work because we haven't even been out yet. You stand me up one night and all of a sudden you don't want to go out anymore. Give me a good reason."

"Look, I can't tell you why I can't go out with you. Just trust me. I know that it took me a while at first to even agree to this, but after I did, something happened and I won't be able to go out anymore. Or at all."

"Is there someone else?" Elliot didn't answer, he just looked inside his class to make sure Luke was still okay. "Well, I guess your silence answers that. And another thing, why were you with the Stabler child this morning?"

Elliot shrugged, "I saw his mom outside and offered to bring him in for her."

Meredith looked at him with a questioning gaze. She huffed and turned to walk toward her classroom. Elliot rolled his eyes at her back and walked in the class.

"Hey buddy, whatcha up to?"

Luke looked up, "I am drawing mommy a picture. Look!"

Elliot walked up behind his son and looked at the picture in front of him. It was of four people. Two were significantly larger than the others, so he assumed that it was Olivia, Luke, Jake and himself. "That is a very nice picture son. Why don't we put it on my desk so it doesn't get ruined before you go home?"

"Okay, daddy. Sorry, I mean Mr. Jones," Luke looked up at him like he was in trouble.

"It's okay Luke, as long as you don't call me daddy in front of other kids or teachers. When we are alone, like right now, you can call me daddy."

Luke smiled, "Okay!"

After school let out Luke stayed in Elliot's classroom until he was done with some preparation for tomorrow. Before they could leave Meredith made herself known again. Elliot saw her come in and rolled his eyes.

Luke was getting his coat from his cubby and turned around, "I'm ready to g-" he stopped when he saw Meredith. "I'm ready to go Mr. Jones."

Elliot nodded. He was so relieved that Luke saw Meredith before he had time to incriminate either of them, "Okay Luke, why don't you give me like ten minutes," he pulled a candy bar from his desk and handed it and a juice to Luke, "Why don't you go over there and have a snack. When I am done talking to Ms Edwards I'll take you home."

"Okay! Thank You!!" Luke hurried off to the other side of the room and unwrapped his candy and opened his juice.

Elliot sighed and turned to Meredith, "What?"

Meredith gave him a glare, "It's two hours after school let out, why is the Stabler child still here?"

"He has a name. It's Luke, if you care, and he is still here because I am taking him home, is that a problem?"

Meredith rolled her eyes, "Well, now for the real reason I came here, I wanted to give you chance to take back what you said earlier and I'll forget all about it. Then we can go out to dinner and a movie and see where things go," she raised her eye brow seductively at him.

Elliot sighed again, "I have already told you no. Plus, I have plans tonight. I am having some friends over for dinner. Sorry to burst your bubble."

Meredith huffed again, "I will get to you Brad, and you will go out with me at some point. I don't give up that easily. See you around…" she turned and left the classroom.

Elliot shook his head, "Luke, buddy, you ready?"

Luke nodded and threw his trash away. He looked up to Elliot, "Daddy, I don't like her."

Elliot smiled, "Its okay son, I don't really like her either. So are you ready? I called your mother and you guys are coming to my house for dinner. Is that cool?"

Luke's eyes lit up, "Yay!!"

Elliot took Luke's hand and they walked out of the school. What they didn't notice it that Meredith Edwards had been standing outside the door the whole time.

'Daddy? I thought he didn't have kids…' she thought to herself, 'I'll just have to find out for myself.'

She left the school, got in her car and followed Brad and Luke to Brad's apartment.

She sat outside the apartment for an hour before a woman who looked to about Brad's age came strolling up with another boy who looked to be about twelve. They rang the buzzer and went up. Meredith wasn't sure they were actually going to Brad's until she saw them through the window of his apartment.

Brad leaned over and kissed her for a few seconds, then picked up the boy into a hug and kissed the side of his head.

'No one else, huh? We'll have to see about that,' she thought, 'Maybe I'll make a surprise visit to the lovely couple.'
