A/N: And we meet again my adoring fans for chapter one of We Meet Again. No pun intended. Well okay maybe I don't have adoring fans yet. Yet being key word. I've always wanted groupies. And if I had a band I would have my groupies carry my guitar. Cause you know if I was in a band I would just automatically play a guitar. It's just rocket science. Okay so maybe it's a good thing I'm not a rocket scientist. I remember I built a rocket in the eighth grade and mine blew up. I don't know how since there was no rocket fuel that NASA uses, but it blew up. All that was left was the tip of it. Well enough of my insane and wacky stories of why I am not a rocket scientist and on with the story. Enjoy!

A/N 2: Flashbacks are in italics.

A/N 3: Does anyone know why when we want to say the thoughts are in italics we have to make the word italics in italics? Just a thought to leave you on while you read the story. This is now officially the end of my rambling. I promise. Enjoy.

Chapter One

We Meet Again

Olivia Benson strolled into the Special Victims Unit Bull pen. She had only just got off the phone with Martin and Terri. They had called her to wish her good luck on her new job. She knew that they may act snotty to all the other detectives, but they could never find it their heart to do that to Olivia. She smiled at the thought of having such great friends. Even Frankie, who had taken care of last's night bill from the bar without complaining, was a great friend. He had tried to get her to date him, but now they just saw each other as siblings. She could never imagine dating Franking or Martin for that matter. A man strolled over to her.

"Are you Olivia Benson?" the man asked.

Olivia nodded. The man stuck out his hand and introduced himself as her new Partner Elliot Stabler.

"Nice to meet you Elliot," Olivia said shaking his hand.

"Well the Captain wants to talk to you before you start working," Elliot told her.

Elliot pointed to the Captains office and told her just to knock on the door if it was closed. Olivia nodded and headed off towards the Captains office. She knew it was silly, but she felt like she did when she had first started working at her old precinct. She was nervous as hell but after she met Captain Johnson she had not felt an ounce of fear anymore. When she reached the Captain's office the door was closed. So she wrapped on the door and waited for someone to invite her in.

"Come in," a voice called out.

Olivia thought she recognized the voice, but she couldn't place it with a voice. If she even knew the person she probably haven't seen them in some time. Olivia gripped the door handle and pushed the door in. When she opened the door she came face to face with the man she hadn't seen since she was eighteen years old. The last time she saw him was on her Graduation day. She had gone to a party and never went home. She was nice enough to leave a note, but that day was the hardest day of her life. She saw that Cragen recognized her at once as well. For he was as much thunderstruck as she was. Neither could form a word. All she could think of was the day she had left him.

Olivia escaped to her room after graduation claiming she needed to catch up on some sleep before she went to tonight's party. In truth she wanted to pack for the trip she was leaving for. She felt bad to leave the only person who had ever loved her. But she needed to know what had become of her Mother maybe find out who her biological father was. When she finished packing she wrote a quick note to Cragen. She had never been good at writing down what she felt. That had been the main reason she had never been able to maintain a diary. Although every time she started a new one she swore that she would stick with it. She had at least ten or twelve failed attempts before she finally gave up. When the note was complete she sealed it in an envelope with the word 'Daddy' on the front. After she deposited it on her desk Olivia slung her duffel bag over her shoulder. She took one last look around her bedroom. She imprinted every inch of the room into memory. She had no idea how long it would be until the next time she would set foot in this room or if she ever would again.

"Goodbye," She whispered into the empty room before she left the room and her life behind.

Olivia pushed the memory to the back of her mind. The memory pained her to this day even though she rarely thought about it. She had locked it somewhere in her mind long ago but it had escaped when she saw Cragen standing there in the office.

"Liv?"

Olivia realized she had spaced out again when Cragen's voice brought her out of her thoughts. She stepped into the office fully and closed the door behind her. When she was facing Cragen once more she studied his face. He had aged quite a bit since the last time she saw him. She briefly wondered if the worry lines around his eyes and the corners of his mouth were because she had left. She hoped she hadn't hurt him to the point he turned back to alcohol. He had always told her that she had saved his life when she walked into his life. But she hadn't known why until she was sixteen.

"Daddy," Olivia whispered.

She watched as a bright smile slid across his lips. His eyes that had been dull and lifeless now sparkled with excitement and happiness. She could tell that he hadn't been this happy in a while. Olivia walked over to Cragen cautiously. He was the only Father she had ever known and would ever want to know. She had found out long ago who her real father was and what he had tone to her Mother that caused Olivia's conception. She allowed Cragen to pull her into his arms fro a hug. A hug only a Father could share with his daughter. She had always felt safe when she was Cragen, her Father.

"I missed you so much Daddy."

"I know. I missed you too Angel."

Olivia pulled away from Cragen and sank into one of the chairs in front of Cragen's desk while Cragen perched on the edge of the desk. An awkward silence fell over them and Cragen filled it with meaningless talk of the job. When he was finished he looked over at her.

"When work's over why don't you come over to my house for dinner," Cragen offered, "We can catch up on everything."

Olivia nodded. Before she left she was told were he lived now. She realized that it didn't matter that she would never see her old room again. All that mattered was that she had her real Father back.

A/N: Okay so here's the next chapter. A little short but it didn't allow me to write as much as I usually can. Well I hoped you enjoyed it. And remember to review.

A/N 2: And start thinking about what pairings you want. Once the story gets going I'm going to ask you what pairings you want.

A/N 3: I forgot to thank people. So would like to thank Omegia, Mrs. Detective Billy Martin, JennCorinthos, and CocaCola1052. Special Thanks to:

KaydenceRei: I'm glad you liked the prologue. I didn't think I would be able to get it out that fast, but my muse was actually cooperating. I'm glad you like my writing. It makes me so happy when people like it. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.

Sweet-4-Stabler: I like those ideas. Well I know your vote will be for an EO story. I think it would be really interesting to seeing Cragen being all-protective of Olivia and threatening Elliot.

Freestyler9125: Okay, I won't tell Kay that you want her to have a love interest beside Elliot. I hope you liked this chapter. I'm not sure where this is heading, but I'm sure I'll have something soon.
