They all decided that they would go out for lunch. They all changed out of their airport clothes.
Amanda and Jesse were in black sun dresses with sandals. Billie was in a black romper with black shoes because she didn't like to wear dresses or sandals. Mia had a grey top with black pants with a pair of white vans. Olivia was in a light grey sunflower dress with sandals. Sonny and Noah both had on black shorts with a white polo shirt with regular shoes.
They only drove one car since all of them could fit into one car. When they got there they had to wait for a table.
"Can I pick where everyone sits?" Jesse asked, looking up at Amanda. Amanda turned to look at Olivia and she nodded her head yes. Then looked at Mia and she just shrugged her shoulders.
She didn't bother asking Sonny because he would say yes to the girls as long as it made them happy and he's been avoiding her ever since she told him that he could share the bed with her. She thought that he seemed happy at first but then it was like he got mad at her. She hated when he wouldn't acknowledge her. She loves him so it really killed her when he acted like she didn't exist.
It took her a while to realize he might be the one but then she screwed it up by having Billie but she wouldn't change anything because then she wouldn't have Billie. She hadn't been with anyone for about a year and a half now. She really didn't want to waste any time. She had made up her mind that she was going to tell him before this trip was over.
When they got to the table Jesse picked a seat for everyone. Jesse sat at the far end with Noah in front of her. Beside Jesse was Amanda. In front of Amanda was Liv. On the other side of Amanda was Sonny. In front of Sonny was Mia and to Sonny's right Billie sat in her high chair.
"Auntie Liv, you look pretty" Jesse said, looking at Olivia. "aww thank you sweetheart."
Truth was she felt amazing too. She never really had a family growing up; it was always her and her mom or her mom, her new boyfriend and her. Now she has Noah and she is happy that he has a family that would do anything for him. Most of all he was happy which made her happier.
They had already ordered and received their drinks. They were about to order their food when they all heard "Liv".
It was his voice she turned and there he was "Elliot" she whispered. She slowly got up and she was about to move closer to him when Noah asked "Mom who is that?"
Olivia said "Hold on baby."
She started walking to him when she was close enough she slapped him in the face. "What the fuck. Don't ever call me that again you left you have no right to call me that" she said angrily.
Elliot rubbed his face "I know you are mad at me but you need to get out of here."
Olivia took a deep breath trying not to yell at him "You don't get to show up and tell me to get out. You just left me without a word for 10 fucking years Elliot." she said out of her gritted teeth.
"I had no choice but to leave you it wa-" Olivia cut him off. "You had no choice? You couldn't pick up a fucking phone" She said rasing her voice.
"Olivia you need to lower your voice I hav-'' Olivia interrupted him again and this time she yelled at him "YOU DON'T TELL ME WHAT I NEED TO DO! JUST INCASE YOU FORGOT YOU LEF-" Elliot now interrupting her harshly whispered "Olivia I am undercover."
She slowly moved her eyes around the room. "Elliot don't lie to me"
Elliot took a deep breath "I've been undercover for 10 years and today if all goes well then I am done. When I shot the young girl, people way above us said that this was a perfect opportunity for them to put me undercover. I said no at first but then they said that this person was coming after you personally. So I needed to protect you. But now with you here this could all go sideways. I need you, Noah, Ama-" Olivia cut him off "How do you know about Noah?" She questioned.
"While I was undercover I had people give me updates on how you were doing, Captain Olivia Benson." He said with a smile. Olivia smiled back at him with tears in her eyes.
He reached in his back pocket to find his wallet. He opened it and pulled out 2 photos. He handed her the first one. It was a photo of them before they went undercover at a swingers club. A tear escaped her eyes. He handed her the other photo. It was a recent photo of her and Noah at a park.
She looked up at him "H-how did you get this?"
Elliot smiled and softly said "Like I said my people check up on you and Noah to make sure you guys are taken care of they take photos and report it back to me"
Amanda was now fully crying. All these years she thought he abandoned her but instead he was protecting her and he still cared about her.
She handed him the photos back. "Olivia you really need to leave before they get here" He checked the watch on his wrist. " I have a black van with tinted windows that you can drive. There are blan-" he was cut off by an angry Amanda "You have some nerve showing up here. You just left her. What type of partner are you? You didn't even call her. Do you think you can just leave without any explanation?"
Elliot looked at Olivia to see her smiling.
Elliot was now looking at Amanda "Amanda I know you're mad but you need to get Jesse and Billie out of here" Amanda froze. "How do you know my name and my girl's name?" She asked.
"I dont have the time to explain. Olivia here are the keys to the van. There are blankets and snacks in the back. The DVDs are under the passenger seat." He handed her the keys. "I don't know how long it will be but try to get out of Florida. I'll come find you guys when it's safe." Olivia nodded her head "Thank you" she said softly. "Elliot smiled.
Olivia walked over to the table to get the kids. Amanda didn't move, she asked him again "How do you know my girls names?"
Elliot thought if she had her gun she would hold him at gunpoint until he answered her "Just trust me get out of her I gave Olivia a key to a van that will fit all of you."
Olivia walked over to the table "We've got to go." Sonny stood up immediately "What's wrong?"
Olivia grabbed Noah and Jesse's hand " Mia can you get Billie?" Mia replied "yes." She got Billie out of her high chair. "I will tell you later but right now you need to get Amanda and bring her to a van that I've just received outside. I promise I will explain later just get Amanda and give Elliot these keys." She said handing him the keys to the rental car.
As Sonny was heading toward Amanda and Elliot he heard Elliot say "A key to a van that will fit all of you."
Elliot met Sonny's eyes "And you must be Dominick." Amanda turned to look at Sonny.
"How do you know my name?" Sonny said. "That's what I want to know. He knows the girls' names too but he won't tell me how. I am not leaving until he tells me how he knows."
Elliot knew that Amanda wasn't going to leave so he looked at Sonny. "You guys are in danger if you stay here. You need to leave, Olivia has a key to a van you need to get out of Florida and I will come and get you when it's safe."
Sonny stared at him for a few seconds then handed him the keys to the rental car. "Amanda come on" He said, grabbing her hand trying to get her to come with him. "No" she said, yanking her hand away from Sonny's.
Sonny looked up at Elliot and sighed. Sonny picked up Amanda and threw her over his shoulder. "Put me down" he heard her say but ignored her and started walking to the van.
