Chapter 1
Revelations
The night before Kathy's announcement, was hot, humid, and dry; a typical New York summer. Elliot and Olivia had gone out to eat. It was their sixth year of being on the force together, and they celebrated by going to Francesca's, a little Italian restaurant about five blocks from the precinct. Munch and Fin decided they couldn't join them, due to personal reasons. Olivia wore a short black dress with spaghetti straps, while Elliot sported the more casual approach with a shirt, tie, and pants. A short, stout man seated them at a small little table in the back, and lit a candle. Olivia and Elliot thanked the man and sat down.
"Wow, this place is great.", Olivia said admiring her surroundings.
"Yea, it is really nice.", Elliot agreed. The waiter came and took their orders. Elliot having chicken parmesan, while Olivia having a Caesar salad.
"So, how are the kids?", Olivia asked.
"Really good. Maureen is doing great in college, Kathleen is doing fine in high school, and the twins couldn't be better.", Elliot stated.
"Kathy?", Olivia inquired.
"Kathy...what's not to say about my loving, caring, wife.", Elliot sarcastically started. Olivia smiled. "She's been getting restless about the job. She says "I'm not home enough." And that I'm "avoiding her and the kids". I don't know...I mean I tried telling her that it's my job and all, but...." Elliot stopped and shook his head. "Well, I guess I should order some wine." Elliot called over the waiter and ordered a bottle of Merlot. A few minutes later he came back with two glasses and the bottle.
"Your food will be out in a minute.", the waiter explained. Elliot poured wine into his glass and Olivia's.
"So, how is your personal life?", Elliot sarcastically asked and Olivia took a sip of her wine.
"Let's just say thank God I'm not married or have kids, because with the rate work is going, I don't have a personal life.", she laughed. "Oh great, here's the food. I'll be right back.", she said as she left for the bathroom. She walked into the ladies room, where there were three other women. The tall dark haired woman was talking about how her boss was having an affair with his secretary. They reminded Olivia of the popular girls back in high school who talked about everyone and everything. Olivia fixed her hair, sprayed herself with perfume and reapplied her eyeliner.
'What are you doing? This is Elliot, not a date.' she told herself. She fixed her dress and left, oblivious that the three women stared at her with envy. Elliot smiled when he saw her coming back. He was already eating and was halfway done with his glass of wine. She sat down and placed the napkin on her lap.
"This is so good.", he said. "Want some?"
"I'll try it.", she said as she took a piece of his plate. She agreed and they continued eating dinner.
They talked until late and they ordered another bottle of wine. Elliot was obviously a little tipsy, as well as Olivia. "Here's to us, and being the best detectives on in the unit!.", Elliot proclaimed as he lifted his glass. Olivia raised her glass and clanked it against his. They both laughed as they chugged the wine down.
"Gosh, it's late, we better get going.", Elliot said looking at his watch. He paid the check and escorted Olivia back to his car. "I'll give you a ride back to the house."
"Thanks, that would be great.", Olivia answered. Elliot got into the drivers seat and started the car. He drove to the apartment building where Olivia lived and stopped outside. Olivia grabbed her jacket and opened the door. Elliot walked her to the steps.
"Wow, I think I had a little too much to drink..", Olivia said as she waddled. She got to the door and put the key in, turning around to thank Elliot, her lips barley touched Elliot's, he breathed heavy on her mouth. Hesitatingly, Olivia pulled away and said, "Thanks for the ride, El."
"No problem.", Elliot said also embarrassed, pulling away from her knowing that he had done wrong. "I'll see you tomorrow."
"Yea, bye.", Olivia said. She walked up to her apartment, and went in quickly. She sat on her bed and dug her face into her palms. 'Oh no.', she said to herself. As for Elliot, he got into his car and sighed. "You idiot", he said to himself. He drove away, knowing that when he got home, his unsuspecting family were all asleep.
Once he got home, Elliot went straight to bed. He would be up the next morning at Five A.M., and he needed the sleep. Kathy was there. The moonlight shone on her face, and her blonde hair. Elliot undressed and hopped in. Her curled up next to his wife for warmth.
"Your feet are cold.", she said.
"Sorry.", he apologized. He smelt like wine and perfume. Kathy knew where he was, but as of late, she didn't approve of it.
"How was dinner?", she asked turning over to face him.
"Great...", he stated briefly.
"Good.", she replied. She turned over again and closed her eyes. Elliot lied on his back and looked over at her.
"Night, Kath.", he said. She hummed something back at him, and he took that as a "You too."
Elliot kept thinking about his close call with Olivia. She looked gorgeous and the chemistry between them was undeniable. Yet he the type who would question if risking fidelity was a good idea. Twenty years was a long time to commit yourself to someone and being a good catholic, Elliot promised to always stand by Kathy no matter what. But the no matter what would prove an obstacle as he learned the next day that his wife was pregnant; again. Trying to forget about the close call, he turned on his side, and shut his eyes, "I love you.", he whispered, and although he couldn't see, Kathy smiled.
The next day, Elliot went into work, and Olivia was there. He tried not to bring the subject up, but of course Munch just had to intrude.
"So how was dinner?", he asked.
"It was good.", Elliot answered.
"Just good?", Munch said.
"Piss off.", Elliot warned. Munch just arched his eyebrows walked away and took a sip from his coffee. Cragen came out of his office and ordered all the detectives into his office.
"Yea?", they all inquired one by one as they entered his office.
"Elliot and Munch, you two go down to 153rd and Broad. We got some witnesses down there who are claiming that they just saw a man expose himself in a nursery in front of a group of little boys. Olivia and Fin, you guys stay here; I have some work for you." Elliot and Munch drove down to the site, and interrogated the witness. They all pointed to a man who was a janitor. Without question, Elliot and Munch arrested the man, read him his rights and brought him back to the precinct. Olivia and Fin were gone, and Cragen said that they were gone down to Jersey to investigate a homicide. Cragen instructed that Munch and Elliot should go down and meet up with Olivia and Fin. After about an hour or so, they did.
"What do we got?", Elliot asked.
"She was raped, and killed. White, seven or eight, cause of death was the gun shot blow to the head. Probably with a 9mm.", Olivia explained.
"Alright.", Elliot said. They investigated and collected as much information as they could and it was ten before they got back to the precinct.
"I better get going.", Elliot said, grabbing his jacket. He couldn't believe that they only thing he said to Olivia the whole day was, "What do we got." She was obviously uncomfortable and so was he from the night before. Elliot got home at about half ten at night. He quickly rushed to the fridge and grabbed the half eaten sandwich from the night before. He sat down on the couch, stretched out his feet and ate the sandwich. He thought about Olivia, who was quite aloof the whole day, even compared to Munch, who surprisingly didn't say much. He picked up the phone and dialed her number; he got the machine.
'Hey, this is Olivia; I'm not here so leave a message at the beep.' 'BEEP'
"Hey Liv, it's Elliot. We really need to talk. Call me later. Bye.", he hung up. He got up from the couch and put his plate in the sink. 'Where's Kath?', he asked himself. He walked upstairs and found her sitting in the bathroom, looking at something. She saw him and quickly put the object away. After finding out, Elliot guessed it was the test, but he didn't know what she was hiding at the time.
"Hey sweetheart..", he began. Kathy got up and walked over to him. "The kids asleep?", he asked as he tried to get a kiss. She avoided him and he looked confused.
"We need to talk.", she advised him.
"Yea no problem.", Elliot answered. She led him to the bedroom, and that's when the whole fight started, ending with a shock. The aftermath of their new situation was yet to come.
