Chapter 2

It wasn't long after Olivia got back to her apartment when there was a knock at the door. It was just who she expected.

"Did it work?"

"…Yeah"

"And you quit?"

"…yeah"

"Don't look so upset baby, things are going to be great" the man smiled.

"I told him I was getting an abortion…" she tried not to get too upset again.

"Good one" the man laughed.

"This is not a joke to me you know. I care a lot about Elliot" she frowned.

"I know" he said putting his hand lightly on her cheek, like he understood.

"But, we all have decisions to make. You have two choices Olivia, you can tell him what's going on- and let his death be on your shoulders. Or you can keep your mouth shut and do what I tell you. He may be crushed in life- but he wouldn't be dead" the man leaned in slowly.

"This isn't a game" Olivia frowned.

"Of course it isn't…" the man kissed her lips lightly.

"Its revenge" he smirked as he kissed her again.

AT THE STATION

"Elliot! My office now!" Cragen called to Elliot. Elliot knew that was coming. He went into Cragen's office scared, but not of Cragen necessarily.

"What the hells going on? It's a circus out there" Cragen sat in his chair as Elliot sat in the chair in front of Cragen's desk.

"It's a long story" Elliot wanted to simply leave it at that.

"I have all the time in the world" Cragen leaned back. Elliot rolled his eyes. But although this situation looked bad, it was be a good thing. He could finally face the truth of what really went on between him and Olivia.

"A couple months ago… obviously. Me and Olivia…" he stopped.

"Tell me from the beginning" Cragen told him.

"…Olivia's phone wasn't working and I said she could take mine, since I had half the day off anyway. I didn't like the thought of her not being able to contact anyone if she were working alone. I told her she could call my beeper or my house if she needed me at all. Well around twelve' o'clock at night she called my home. She sounded upset and I told her I would be right over. We talked for a long time" a small smile started to creep up on Elliot's face.

"We talked about old relationships, heartaches, embarrassing moments- just everything. I remember that night like it happened yesterday. Around six in the morning we decided we should get a little rest before we went to work. I slept on her couch…The next day I dropped her off at her apartment real late. It had been a long day. She suggested that I stay over- and I was dead tired so it seemed like a good thing to do." Elliot looked down at his hands.

"We sat on the couch and turned the TV on. Both of us were asleep in an instant. We woke up the next morning on the couch together. She had her hand on my chest, and my arm was around her…but anyway, the next night after that we just starting making up reasons why I should stay over…" Elliot stopped again.

"Go on" Cragen prompted him.

"We ended up in bed together. That went on for a couple more nights… the last night we were together, as we were 'doing it', Olivia got a call. It was my wife. She asked if I was there and when I was going to be able to come home again. The fact of it all hit me and Olivia so hard- it was a slap in the face. I got my things and I started to leave but we talked before I did. We both decided that we wouldn't forget what happened between us but that we would just put it behind in the past" Elliot looked up at Cragen.

"Who thought Olivia would get pregnant" He tried not to show how upset he was.

"Are you upset because Olivia's pregnant or are you upset because Olivia's pregnant and you can't be the father you want to be for her child?" Cragen asked.

"I'm upset because I got Olivia pregnant and she feels like her only possibility is to have an abortion. Now I'm not against abortions- but I'm against men who sleep with their partners then leave them when they need you most" Elliot stood up.

"Sit down" Cragen told him as Elliot obeyed better then usual.

"Go talk to her Elliot. Find out what you really want before you tell her your opinion though. Because from what I've heard, or technically from the lack of what I've heard- Olivia means more to you then Kathy. And that may be true, but maybe having another baby isn't what you need right now." Cragen told him. Elliot nodded. He was right. Elliot got up and left the station.
