1A/N: Well here's the next chapter. Thanks for the great reviews, you guys are awesome! Hope you enjoy the story.

Chapter Two: Wow!

When they got to the hospital they took Oliver up to the floor where Callie was staying, until they thought she was well enough to be released to social services. Elliot and Olivia took Oliver to the room she was in and Olivia went in first while Elliot and Oliver waited outside. When she went into the room the little girl smiled at her, so Olivia smiled back.

"Hi sweetie, how are you feeling?"

"Okay I guess"

"Would you feel better if you saw a friend?" Olivia asked the young girl

"Who?"

Olivia turned and motioned for Elliot to let Oliver come in. So Elliot and Oliver both came through the door and Olivia and Elliot both watched as Callie's face lit up at the sight of Oliver.

"Ollie!" Callie practically yelled with a huge smile on her face.

"Hey Callie, are you okay?" Oliver asked as he went over to her.

When he got to her she threw her arms around his neck and hugged him tight, and Olivia watched as he hugged the little girl back.

"I'm better now that you're here" Callie told him

Oliver sat down on the bed next to Callie and that's when she asked if Oliver knew the police. He nodded his head and told her,

"Olivia's my mom and Elliot's her partner. So don't you worry, they'll make sure no one ever hurts you again" the boy told the little girl

The little girl smiled at him and then they started talking, so Olivia and Elliot decided to wait outside the room for Oliver so that it wouldn't seem like they were imposing on their conversation.

Olivia and Elliot both watched through the glass in the door for a little while as Oliver and Callie talked, and Olivia smiled at how Oliver was making the little girl laugh.

"He seems like a great kid Liv. Why didn't you tell me about him?" Elliot questioned her

"Elliot it was complicated at the time. I didn't want you to be involved, or put in any danger, especially since you had a family" she told him

"Well you don't have to worry about that anymore, so now you have no excuse not to tell me"

"Can't it wait till later"

"Liv I just want to know what the real reason is that you didn't tell me about him"

"It's a long story El, we don't really have time right now"

"I'm not going to let you put off telling me. One way or another I will get it out of you" he smiled at her

"I know"

"I'm your partner Liv, and I think I deserve to know why you have been keeping that a secret. And if your in some kind of trouble or something I want to know. I care about you Liv, you know that. I don't want anything to happen to you." he told her with sincerity

"I know El"

Just then a Doctor came around the corner and went into Callie's room. Then he came back out with an angry look on his face and the Detectives went up to him to find out what was wrong.

"Dr. what's wrong?" Elliot asked

"What is that boy doing in there?" he questioned the two detectives

"He's a friend and we thought she could use a little cheering up" Olivia told him

"I thought I said no more visitors. She needs her rest until you find someone to take her. She doesn't need to be bothered by anyone. She needs her rest." the Dr. told them

Elliot and Olivia looked at each other with half smiles, before Elliot walked up to the Dr. and made him look through the glass into the room with the two children laughing and goofing around.

"That, Dr., is what the little girl needs. She needs someone who can make her laugh and forget about everything she's been through. And in case you haven't noticed that's the first time the little girl has laughed or smiled since she has been admitted" Elliot told him

"Well just make sure he doesn't stay too long" the Dr. said before walking off

Elliot and Olivia shook their heads at him, before both of them looked through the glass to see Oliver pretending to go down some stairs at the end of the bed, while Callie laughed at him. As they were watching them, Elliot's phone rang. He stepped aside to talk, while Olivia continued to watch the kids. Then Elliot came back over to her and said,

"That was the Captain, he wants to know where we've been and why we haven't bought anyone in to make an ID on the guy who did this to her"

"Elliot I don't want Ol-"

"I know. Why don't we just go back to the station and tell the Captain what Oliver told us. Then we can run the names through the database and whatever hits we get we can print out the pictures and take them to your apartment and let Oliver look through them and see which ones he recognizes"

"You'd do that?" Olivia asked him

"We're partners Liv, and I know you'd do it for me" he told her with a smile

Then they went into Callie's room and told the kids that it was time for Oliver to go back home, because they needed to get back to work. Callie begged Elliot and Olivia to let Oliver stay until she got off of work, but Olivia didn't feel comfortable leaving her son there for the rest of the day. So she promised Callie that she would bring Oliver back to see her when she got off of work. Then she, Elliot, and Oliver headed back out to the car and they drove Oliver back home. Elliot and Olivia walked Oliver back up to their apartment and Olivia told him she'd be back later.

As Olivia and Elliot were driving back to the precinct Elliot could tell there was something on her mind.

"You okay Liv?"

Still looking out the passenger window, she answered,

"Yeah I'm fine"

"Well it seems like something's bothering you"

"Hmm, kind of like the something that was bothering you this morning" she told him, turning to look at him

"Okay fine, I get it, you don't want to talk about it either. But you know I'm still disappointed in you for not telling me about Oliver. I didn't even know you had a kid. All the times we talked about kids, you always said you were glad you didn't have one to worry about this day in age."

"Elliot quit trying to act like my father. And Oliver wasn't living with me at the time, so obviously I didn't have a child"

"Yeah but you did, he just wasn't living with you"

"Elliot there is a reason I told everyone that I didn't have a kid, okay. And when I'm ready to share that reason with you I will. So drop it" she told him angrily

"Okay fine, but you should know that it's going to make it harder for me to trust you now."

"What? Elliot don't be an ass, I've never lied to you about our cases, unless it was to keep your ass out of trouble."

"Olivia I just don't understand why you didn't think you could trust me. We've been partners for eight years now, haven't I earned the right-haven't I earned your trust by now"

"Don't start with me Elliot" she told him raising her voice angrily

"Liv, I just don't understand"

"Damn it Elliot, it wasn't that I didn't trust you, okay. I just didn't want anything to happen to you" she yelled at him

"Olivia we're partners, anything could happen to one of us at any given time, but that's what we have each other for, to make sure that nothing does happen."

"Yeah, but this was personal, and I didn't want to put you in danger because of my personal life. I mean you've never put me in that kind of position"

"You're right I wouldn't, but I know that if something was up with one of my kids, and you found out about it, there's no way you would sit that one out. You'd be in there helping me, whether I wanted you to or not"

"Exactly and you would do the same thing if it were me. And I didn't want you-I mean you're the one with the family, and I didn't want to put your life in danger because of me"

"Well I'm obviously not a family man anymore, so now you have no excuse to keep me out of your personal life" he told her with a partial smile

"Can we talk about it when this case is over?" she asked her partner, tired of arguing with him

"Liv we don't know how long this case is going to last"

"Fine then can we at least wait until we get off work tonight?" she asked him again

"Deal"

When they finally reached the precinct they told the Captain that they had talked to a witness, who at this time would like to remain nameless, and that he had given them pretty good information. They told Cragen that they were going to run the names of the men that were given to them, if they got any hits in the computer then they would take the pictures of the men to the witness and let him see if he recognizes any of them, and then they would go from there. So the Captain agreed with what his detectives were doing because he trusted them.

After running the names of the men through the computer, they got a hit off of a Thomas Staton, he had been arrested for child molestation, but had never been convicted. The question is whether it was the same Tom that Callie and Oliver had told them about. They also got a hit off of an Andrew McKay, who had been arrested for drug possession three years ago and had been sent to jail for ten months. So Elliot printed out the pictures of Tom and Andy and they told the Captain they were going to head back to the witness' apartment and show him the pictures, to see if they were the same men that the witness had seen.

On the way to Olivia's apartment they stopped at a Chinese restaurant and picked up some dinner for all three of them. When they got to her apartment Oliver was in his room playing video games. Olivia went to get him while Elliot got out the dishes for the food. When they got done with dinner Elliot and Olivia sat Oliver down to talk with him.

"Honey, I need you to look at some pictures and tell me if you recognize any of the men, okay" she told him

"Then can we go see Callie again? You promised you'd take me when you got off of work" Oliver told his mother

Olivia looked from her son to her partner, before saying,

"Honey, I haven't exactly gotten off work yet"

"Mom, pleeeassse. You promised" he pleaded with her, with the same big brown eyes as her own. Elliot couldn't help but smile when he saw the boy do that.

"Okay I'll take you as soon as you look at these photographs" she told him as she took the pictures from Elliot and gave them to her son to look through.

Her and Elliot watched the boy's reactions as he looked through the pictures. They watched as he stopped and focused on one picture. Olivia looked intently at her son before asking,

"Do you recognize that man?"

"I think this is Andy. He looks kind of different now. I mean his hair is longer and he wears it in a ponytail, and he has a mustache. And he had a tattoo of a sword on his neck" Oliver told his mother

"Okay well keep looking through the rest of the pictures and see if you recognize any of the other men" she told the boy

He continued to look through the pictures as Olivia handed Elliot the picture of the man Oliver had picked out. Elliot looked on the back and read the name, Andrew McKay, the one he and Olivia had found in the computer. Then Oliver stopped and looked at his mother and said,

"This is the man I saw leave with the other one. The one's that looked up at me from the suburban"

Olivia took the picture and recognized it as the one she and Elliot had considered, Thomas Staton, the one arrested for child molestation. Olivia looked at Elliot as she handed him the picture. Then Olivia looked back down at her son and smiled. He smiled back up at her and said,

"Is everything okay mom?"

"Yeah sweetie, I think everything's going to be okay"

"Then can we go to the hospital now? Please" he asked her

Olivia looked at Elliot and he nodded his head. Before they left, Oliver ran back into his room and came out with a stuffed dog. He looked at his mom and asked,

"Can I take this to Callie, she loves dogs, and I don't use it anymore"

Olivia smiled and answered,

"Yeah Ollie, I think that's a good idea"

He smiled back as he ran towards her and Elliot. Then when they got to the hospital they all went into the room to see how Callie was doing. Her face lit up when she saw all of them come in, which made Olivia feel good.

"I brought this for you Callie. It used to be mine, but I thought you could use this more than me" Oliver told the little girl

She smiled and hugged him as she took the stuffed dog from him. Elliot and Olivia talked to the kids for awhile and laughed a little with them before they left to find some coffee. When they came back the kids were still in the room cutting up and having a good time.

A few minutes later Elliot's phone rang, it was the Captain wondering where they were and what information they had found. Elliot filled him in and told him they were at the hospital and that they were going to show the pictures to the little girl to see if she recognized any of them. The Captain told them that after they do that, then they needed to go home and get some rest, and then come back in the morning.

After Elliot relayed the message to Olivia, they sat down and waited a little while, giving Oliver and Callie enough time to talk and goof around.

"Elliot if you want to go home, go ahead. I'll wait for Oliver and we'll take a cab"

"No way, Liv, I'll give you a ride. I mean what do I have to go home to... nothing"

"I'm sorry El...about everything" she told him sadly, looking at him

He slowly looked up at her and smiled faintly,

"Well what are you gonna do, right?" he stated

She smiled slightly before standing up and going over to the door to Callie's room and looking in. She smiled at what she saw through the glass and then looked back over at Elliot.

"So you want to stay awhile when we head back to my place, and I'll try to explain things to you"

"I was going to suggest the same thing once we got to your apartment" he told her with a smile

"That figures"

She then looked down at her watch and saw that it was nearly 10 PM, so she went into the hospital room and got Oliver and they all headed back to her place.

Once they got home Olivia sent Oliver to take a shower and get ready for bed. When he finished Olivia went to tuck him in, when she realized Elliot had never seen his room.

"Maybe Elliot would like to see your room" she whispered into her son's ear.

He grinned before looking over at Elliot and asking,

"You wanna see my room?"

Elliot returned the smile and nodded,

"Sure"

He followed the boy through the doorway into his bedroom. He looked around and saw a bunk bed and a desk. Then he saw all of the sports equipment, there must have been something from almost every sport. He saw a hockey stick in the corner, along with a baseball bat, and he saw a soccer ball and a football on the floor.

Elliot smiled before asking,

"You play sports?"

Oliver nodded and said,

"I play on a flag football team in the spring and a little league team, and I also play football and basketball. Oh, and I play street hockey at the park whenever I have time"

"Wow, that's a lot of things to do"

"Yeah but it's fun. I'm not very good at all of them"

Then Elliot looked over to the corner by Oliver's bed and saw a guitar leaning up against the wall.

"You play guitar?"

"Yeah I got lessons when I was younger. I haven't played in awhile though" the boy told Elliot

With that Oliver climbed into bed and Olivia walked over from the doorway and tucked him in. Then she kissed his forehead and said,

"I love you"

"Love you too mom. Goodnight Elliot" the boy told them

"Night Oliver" Elliot replied, before following Olivia out of the bedroom.

When they got back into the living room Elliot looked at Olivia and smiled. She returned the smile, but knew that he was about to start asking questions, she could tell by that smile he had just given her. It was his I'm about to ask you a question smile because I care about you so please don't hate me.

"He looks just like you"

Olivia smiled and let out a low laugh as she responded,

"I know I apologize to him every day for that"

"Liv he seems like a great kid. You must have a really good reason for not telling me about him"

"Yeah, well, it was complicated. I didn't even know how to approach you about it" she said, without looking at him.

"Well you could have told me from the beginning, you know, when we were first partnered together" he told her

"He wasn't living with me at the time Elliot and I wasn't sure I would ever see him again. I didn't want to get my hopes up by telling you that I had a son. And I didn't want everyone in the precinct to know my situation" she replied

"Okay then, why wasn't he living with you when we first started working together?"

Olivia looked him in the eyes before answering,

"Because he was living with his father"

"Hah, very funny Liv, I am being serious"

"So am I. He was living with his father and that's the truth"

"Stop being a smart ass. Why wasn't he living with you?"

Olivia shrugged her shoulders and said,

"He wanted to live with his dad and his dad wanted him to live with him"

"Somehow Liv I don't buy it. I've seen you with the kid and you're great with him, and he seems to really love you."

"Yeah well things change"

"Olivia if you aren't going to be straight with me then there was no point in me even listening to what you have to say. Maybe our partnership was doomed from the start." he said angrily as he got up from the couch

"Elliot-"

"I don't want to hear it Liv. I know you have a problem trusting people, but we've been partners for eight years, and I thought I had earned your trust by now, but I guess I was wrong" he told her still angry, as he headed for the door.

"Elliot please wait" she pleaded with him

Just as he stopped and turned around her phone rang. She answered it and Elliot knew something was wrong when Olivia gasped and asked,

"Is she okay?"

"Thank you Doctor, we'll be right there"

After she hung up she looked at Elliot and before he could ask what happened Olivia said,

"Callie was attacked at the hospital"

"What? Is she okay?"

"Yeah but they think we should come down and check on her" she told him as she went into Oliver's room and told him she'd be back later

"How did it happen?" he asked Olivia as she came out of Oliver's room

"Someone dressed as a Doctor went into the room when she was asleep, but she heard him come in and when she saw the man she started screaming."

"And they didn't catch the guy?" Elliot asked as him and Olivia walked out of her apartment building

"No, he managed to stab the real Doctor with some type of syringe and by the time the security guard got there the man was already gone" she told him as they got into Elliot's car

"These guys are really asking for it" Elliot commented as they headed for the hospital, the rest of the way in silence.

A/N: Hope ya'll enjoyed that chapter. Had to leave it somewhat hanging. So do you think Olivia will tell Elliot the truth in the next chapter? Guess you'll have to wait until next week to find out! Please review and tell me what you think!
