Chapter 3
Session 3
The next day Elliot came into George's office with a dazed and confused look on his face. Don had just told him that Olivia was expected to come back today and he didn't know what to think. He had so many thoughts and emotions running through his head. He was still angry about her leaving and he wasn't sure if she was still angry with him for saying all awful things he did. He loved her too and he had no idea if she felt the same way about him.
George: Everything all right Elliot?
Elliot: She's coming home today.
George: Isn't that great news.
Elliot: I'm not sure. I want to tell her everything but I don't know how.
George: When she comes in if she comes to you just do what you feel.
Elliot: I feel like wrapping my arms around her and telling her how sorry I am. I want to grab her face and kiss her beautiful lips.
Later that day John and Fin were sitting at their desks watching Elliot pass back and forth. He had a nervous look on his face that told them something big was about to happen. Don walked out and smiled at the group.
A woman was walking up to the precinct. She was 5'7" with long flowing brown hair with blonde highlights. She walked up the stairs and went to open the door but someone got to it first.
Officer: Good afternoon Benson. Good to have you back.
Olivia: Good to be back.
She walks in and walks towards the four men now all sitting.
Olivia: Hi guys, I'm back.
Don walks up to her and gives a big hug. He releases her and Fin is next, then John. Elliot looks at her and she looks back and smiles.
Elliot: I'm sorry…
Olivia puts her finger up to his lips.
Olivia: Shh, I know, me too.
They hug and she looks up at him into his big blue eyes. They kiss softly.
Elliot: I love you Olivia.
Olivia: I love you Elliot.
Fin: Awww how cute.
They smile at the others. Then they walk into another room.
Elliot: I never meant to hurt you or say anything like I did. I hate seeing you hurt and I hated being the one who hurt you. You deserve a hell of a lot better than that.
Olivia: I'm sorry I left the way I did…
Elliot: I love you so much Olivia. There is nothing you have to be sorry about.
Olivia: I love you too El. I hated being without you. I felt so incomplete.
Elliot: Me too. You are my soul mate and I can't imagine spending the rest of my life without you.
He took a small box out of his pocket and knelt down in front of her.
Elliot: Olivia Benson will you marry me?
Olivia: Yes! Of course!
He slips the ring on her finger and stands up again. She grabs his face and kisses him tenderly.
