a/n : thank you guys for the favorites, follows and review. They're appreciated and show me that I've struck some intrest. This chapter should be formatted better as i am using a better word processor with a spell check and better formatting tools Enjoy.
"You know i will honey you don't even have to ask, i'll do whatever will help you feel more comfortable and if you change your mind-" "No, i wont this time, i promise, this is a longtime coming but hey enough about me what's going on with this case? You sounded really stressed when i called you about Izzabella." Liv sighs and nods "yeah i am... This case.. It's just really gotten to me, if you saw the crime scene photos "You can tell me Liv i promise i'm alright, i can handle it". She nods her head as he starts to rub her back "the guys name is William Lewis, he's as bad as they come, he's lived in Maryland Alabama and several other states and in all those states he's kidnapped women there, some were old girlfriends, some were old defense lawyers He takes them to a secluded spot, brands them with cigarette buts, keys, any metal objects he can get a hold of, tortures them for days, force feeds them drugs and alcohol, rapes them then finally leaves them for dead and he might get off today thanks to some stupid technicality.
He sighs and pulls her closer to him "oh liv... No wander your stressed". She nods "yeah and it doesn't help that he made me feel uncomfortable during interrogation "WHAT! , he couldn't help but raise his voice "don't worry nothing happened.. It was just an interrogation tactic that went slightly out of hand and a vague threat". "THREAT!THE? That bastard threatened you?" Elliot tries his best to soften his voice but it's no use "please calm down Elliot, please". "s-sorry honey, sorry, a-z long as your ok that's all that matters
She slightly nods as now that she's started venting she can't stop "turns out that when the lab processed the DNA from the rape kit of the last case they tested Lewis's DNA and the kit on the same tray and there might be a mistrial because of it, we'll find out tomorrow". "Honey i'm so sorry, i know you wanna get him more than anything, and i agree he should have to pay for what he's done..." "Elliot s-sometimes i wander why i even still do this job, i think about cases like this , the victims that i was so close to being able to help but was just a fraction of a second to late and it makes me want to put in my papers and for me and you to just run to Florida with Izzabella, i mean after all we'd be with your other 4 kids then to", "honey you know i'd support you in anything you do but make sure that before you decide on anything that you can answer no to 1 question". "What question is that?" "Would you regret it". Elliot says as at that point she lays her head on his shoulder and yawns as a few more tears fall.
An hour later Liv's fallen asleep and Elliot gently taps her on the shoulder "honey? He says softly "mmm 5 more minutes." He slightly chuckles "honey you must be hungry", she shakes her head slightly "nnhnn your to comfy" she mumbles as she nuzzles further into his arms; "come on please? For me? My shoulder will be here and waiting when your done besides maybe i can even give you something better." That perks her interest as she wakes up "and what would that be?" "Eat some dinner then i'll gladly show you" he says with a smirk she nods abit and sighs contentedly as she gets up and makes her plate sitting beside him on the couch
"You know I've gotta say the 1 thing I've loved most about you turning into a recluse is you've mastered how to make some of the best food I've ever had." "Thanks honey although i think you give me to much credit, it's not like it's chef material." "I think it is!" She says excitedly "and just think about how much money we save now that we're not eating Chinese takeout every day." "You have a good point there" he says with a smile as she finishes her food and puts her plate in the dishwasher "so now that that's done you owe me whatever you said would be better than a shoulder cuddle" , "oh how could i forget" he says softly as he picks her up and carries her into their bedroom bridal style as he gently lays her down on the bed and steps away "hey where you going?!" "Just trust me love, just trust me he says as he lathers his hands in her favorite lotion then walks back over to the bed.
Once her clothes are off he proceeds to give her a full body massage "ahhh right there... that feels so good" she moans as she relaxes into his touch and once he's finally through relaxing all of her tense muscles he removes his shirt leaving just his boxers on and cradles her in his arms, her laying almost asleep with her face buried in his chest
"so my love, was that better than a shoulder cuddle?" "God yes El, i couldn't have asked for a better massage if i tried she says as she then falls asleep with a big smile on her face and with the thought in her head that no matter what happened with Lewis, or izzabella who was finally asleep in the next room after hours of being sick with her daddy by her side that every thing would be ok.
