Chapter 38
Title: Lost and Found
Author: Britt
Disclaimer: Honestly, do you think I'd be torturing us with the recent episodes if I owned them? I mean I'm evil, but I'm definitely not that evil!
Author's Note: Well I'm happy to say that I got a new charger so everything's good again! It may be a few days that I'm able to update after this because of Christmas Eve and Christmas day, but this story is no longer on my short little hiatus! Lol. Anyway, thanks to everyone who wished me well. I'm slowly getting over my lovely sickness, and hopefully you'll see lots more chapters in the near future. :D
Author's Note 2: I know a few of you have expressed questions about why Fin and Munch have just been accepting everything like they have, well this is a little bit of them wanting more information. You'll also see it in later chapters as well.
"Liv?"
Olivia turned at the voice and saw her two co workers staring at her partner and her.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
Fin sighed. He had always thought of Olivia as his little sister, yet he apparently didn't even know the basic things about her. He was really trying hard not to bite her head off, but there was only so much he could take.
"Can the four of us talk in private?"
Olivia nodded. She had been expecting this for a while now. She was honestly surprised it had taken them this long.
"Sure, let's go up to the cribs."
Cragen watched out his window as his four best detectives headed upstairs. He wasn't an idiot, he had seen the look on Fin's face when he had heard that Olivia had been raped. He also saw the look on Munch's face when Sky called him Grandpa. He was sure he was going to get an earful not only from Fin and Munch, but Elliot too just as soon as Olivia was gone.
When the four detectives walked into the cribs, Olivia was the first to sit down. She suddenly felt as if she was back in high school sitting in the principals office.
"Care to explain?"
Olivia sighed. If anything, it was harder to tell Fin and Munch than it was to tell Elliot. Fin had always seen her as a little sister, just as she had always seen him as her big brother. She knew that these three men in this room were the most protective of her.
"Long story short. I really don't want to explain the long story again. My friends and I were kidnapped, we were held captive for six days and were raped for the first three, they let us go after six. A few months later I found out I was pregnant. My rapist nor any of my friend's rapists were ever found. Well he came after my daughter after she was born and I ended up having to put Sky in the witness protection program. She's only been back for a couple of years now. Anyway, you know how Sky found Emma, well I had a horrible feeling after the sketch that Sky helped make so I took her to Melinda and had her run Sky's DNA against Emma's, Emma's dad is my rapist. Also, Emma's mom is one of the people who helped kidnap Sky."
Olivia rushed through her story and when she was done she saw the looks on Munch and Fin's faces. Also she noticed that Elliot was flexing his fists. She shot him a look telling him in no uncertain terms to calm down or leave.
"Why didn't you tell us?"
Olivia shook her head. She saw the hurt look on Fin's face. She had come clean to Fin about some stuff that even Elliot didn't know, mainly her feelings towards Elliot.
"Because I didn't want you guys to think that I wasn't capable of handling myself. I mean honestly, if I cant take care of myself, how am I supposed to watch your backs in the field?"
Fin shook his head and scooped Olivia up into a hug. He was normally not one for showing emotions, especially in front of his coworkers, but he needed her to know that he didn't think that.
"None of us would ever think that. We've seen you in action Liv. We know that your tougher than us on a good day. You should have told us."
Olivia nodded.
"I know, I'm sorry."
Munch pouted for a second.
"Where's my hug?"
Olivia laughed and pulled away from Fin and Munch drew her into his arms.
"I'm pissed as hell that you didn't tell me, but I understand why you didn't."
Olivia nodded. She knew that she was extremely lucky she wasn't getting screamed at by these three men. They were all three protective and could be hot headed at times.
"Can I ask you why you didn't tell us?"
Olivia turned her attention back to Fin even though she was still wrapped in Munch's arms.
"I was trying to protect my daughter. Nothing more, nothing less."
The two men nodded, understanding completely. Fin knew he would do anything for Ken no matter how much they fought. And John, even though he didn't have children, knew that he would do anything for the people he loved, and that included all four ex wives.
"We better get back downstairs."
Olivia looked over at her partner and saw he looked peeved.
"El, wait a second. Guys we'll meet you down there."
Fin and Munch both quirked their eyebrows but she shooed them away. Once the two were alone she turned her attention back to her best friend.
"El, what's wrong?"
Elliot sighed before saying screw it and pulling his best friend into his arms. She felt so completely right pressed up against his chest that he never wanted to let her go.
"I don't like hearing that you were hurt."
Olivia snuggled deep against him. She loved this man, she had long ago accepted it. However she knew nothing could ever come of it.
"I'm okay though."
Elliot nodded.
"But if Emma is his daughter that means he's somewhere near by. Which means that You, Emma and Sky are all in danger."
Olivia nodded.
"I know. I actually thought about sending Sky, Emma and Sam all into witness protection for a while until we catch them."
Elliot looked at her sharply.
"You planning to go with them?"
Olivia shook her head.
"Not unless I have too. You know I hate a protective detail, how do you think I'd feel in witness protection?"
Elliot laughed knowingly before sobering up and taking a good look at his partner. She was beautiful, every man with eyes could see that. But she was more than that, she was perfect in his eyes. He knew it was wrong, but he couldn't help it. He loved her.
"I'm sorry."
Olivia quirked an eyebrow.
"For what?"
Elliot smiled sadly.
"For this."
Before Olivia could even contemplate what was going on she felt Elliot's lips press up against hers. All she could think was that nothing had ever felt so right.
TBC! Yeah I know I said it wasn't going to be an affair and I stick by that. Don't worry, all will become clear next chapter. I just figured I'd give you guys an EO kiss. Also I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays! I hope everyone has fun and is safe! Reviews make great Christmas/Holiday presents!!!!
