A/N: I need at least five reviews for this chapter before I post the next one. (Please) Here's the chapter where I have a lot up my sleeve.
The next morning Olivia laid in bed, admiring the ring Brian had given her. She kept wondering if this was a dream, if she would wake up and none of this would've happened. But it was real.
She glanced over at Noah's crib, he was still sound asleep. She felt lucky, it's the first time he's slept through the night in a while. She smiled, hell she felt lucky period. It was like she was starting a new chapter in her life, because she was.
Brian rolled over and wrapped his arms around her. "Hey." He smiled.
Olivia smiled back at him. "Hey yourself." Brian kissed her until she pulled away.
He looked at her. "What?"
She sat up. "I have to go to work." She said looking down at him.
"Oh yeah." Brian said, groaning. "I do not want to leave. IAB sucks."
Olivia laughed slightly. "Relax, we'll both be back here tonight." She got up to get ready for work. "And try to be a little more quiet, he's finally sleeping more like he should be." She lowered her voice.
"Alright, but you probably are going to have a tougher day than me." Brian said, sitting up.
"What do you mean?" Olivia asked.
"You have to tell the squad about last night." He said.
Olivia glanced down at the ring on her finger. "It won't be tough, it'll just take a little adjusting." What she really didn't want to happen is to run into Elliot.
"What I'm worried about is Tucker making me work extra hours, since I left early last night."
Olivia sat back down on the bed next to Brian. "(A) Your probably will, and (B) Tucker is an ass."
"And you just figured this out?" Brian said sarcastically.
Olivia rolled her eyes. "Okay, I really have to get going." She stood up again.
Brian watched his new fiancée walk into the bathroom. He smiled when thinking about that.
Olivia walked into the precinct, hiding her left hand behind her bag. She was smiling, which she never usually did at work.
"Hey Liv." Fin said as she walked past him.
"Hey." She said to him.
"Someone's in a happy mood this morning." Fin noted.
She kept walking to her office. "I guess."
"That was weird." Nick said from his desk.
"Just let her go Nick," Amanda said, "If she wanted us to know she'd tell us."
The other two knew she was right.
Olivia sighed after she closed the door behind her. It wasn't telling them she was worried about, it was if Elliot found out. She knew she'd tell him eventually, but not so soon.
She set her stuff down on her desk and opened the door again. "Hey can I see you guys in here for a minute?"
They all looked at each other before getting up.
"Looks like you might get your answer." Fin said quietly to Nick before they walked into her office.
"What's up Liv?" Fin asked.
"Why would assume something's up?" She said still keeping her hand out of view from them.
"Considering the fact you never smile at work is one thing." Nick said.
"Ha very funny." Olivia said sarcastically. Better just tell them now she thought.
"You guys know how I've been seeing Cassidy?"
"Yeah." They all said at once.
Unfortunately Nick thought. He never was a big fan of Brian.
"Yeah well lat night he, um.." She finally let her left hand be visible, all of them eyeing it immediately.
"No he didn't." Amanda said surprised.
Olivia nodded. "He proposed last night." A big smile crawled over her face.
"Congratulations Liv." Nick said smiling.
"So I guess we'll have to call you Sergeant Cassidy soon?" Amanda said, laughing a little.
"I guess so." Olivia said.
Nick's phone on his desk started to ring and he left quickly to answer it.
"So, did you guys set a date yet?" Amanda asked.
Olivia moved to her desk. "No, I'm not sure yet. It all happened so fast we haven't decided."
"Let me see the ring." Amanda said.
"If you two are going to get all girly on me I'm leaving." Fin said from the other side of the room.
Olivia and Amanda both rolled their eyes. Olivia raised her hand to Amanda could see.
"Wow it's gorgeous!" Amanda said, examining the ring.
Olivia lowered her hand. "Yeah, I'm still suspicious about how much money he spent on it."
Nick came back into the room. "Hey we got a new vic at Bellevue."
"We'll go." Amanda said, acknowledging her and Nick.
"Alright." Olivia said as the two walked out of the room.
Fin walked over to Olivia. "Congratulations Liv." Fin gave her a small hug.
Olivia smiled. "Thanks Fin."
It was finally almost the end of her shift. Olivia couldn't wait to get back to her son and her future husband.
Her thoughts were going into depth but her cell phone ringing interrupted her.
"Benson." She answered.
"Olivia."
"Kathy?" Olivia said recognizing her voice. "Is something wrong." Kathy's voice sounded frantic.
"It's Elliot."
Olivia sat down at the chair behind her desk. "Slow down what happened?"
Kathy's voice calmed slightly. "Elliot came over to check on Elizabeth, but she didn't want to see him because she knew how he's react if... Lizzie's pregnant. From the rape."
"Oh my god, I'm sorry.."
"But Elliot pushed her, she didn't want to tell him, but when she did... He got really pissed and stormed out. I don't want him to go drink his ass off, but I don't know where he is, I called him over and over again, but he didn't answer! I don't want him to do anything stupid." Kathy was getting really scared for Elliot.
"Kathy, I'll try and find him. Thanks for letting me know." Olivia hung up the phone.
Elliot rang the doorbell at Kathy's house. He was greeted at the door by Eli.
"Daddy!" Eli said excitedly.
"Hey buddy." Elliot picked him up. "Wow you're getting big. Is Lizzie here?"
Eli nodded. Elliot set him back on the floor. "Thank you." Elliot said to him.
"Mommy, daddy's here!" Eli said, running into the kitchen.
Elliot saw Kathy standing there.
"Hey Elliot." Kathy said grimly.
"What?" Elliot said to her.
Kathy shook her head. "Nothing, I don't think Lizzie wants to.."
"Hey mom can I-" Elizabeth came around the corner and stopped short when she saw Elliot. "Hey dad."
"Hey Lizzie, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, just a bad day." Elizabeth turned to leave.
"Lizzie seriously tell me what's wrong."
"Dad I can't tell you.."
Kathy turned to Eli. "Honey can you go into the living room for a couple minutes please?"
Eli shrugged. "Okay." He walked into the other room.
"Okay Elliot if we tell you you have to stay calm." Kathy said sternly to him.
"Tell me what?" Elliot demanded.
Elizabeth got tears in her eyes. "Dad... I'm pregnant."
They both saw anger in Elliot's eyes. "What do you mean you're pregnant? Was it from the rape?"
"Elliot!" Kathy raised her voice like he was a child.
Elizabeth nodded slowly.
"No, not to my own child." Elliot said under his breath, but it was still audible. He stormed out of the house and slammed the door. It made Eli jump in the living room, he looked back at his mother.
"Hey Liv we're clocking out." Fin said, standing in the doorway of her office.
"Huh? Oh okay, see you guys tomorrow." Olivia looked up from her phone for a second.
Fin ducked out of the office right before her phone received a text.
Hey Liv. Jinxed myself, stuck here for a couple more hours. She read her text from Brian.
She sighed and replied. That sucks, see you later.
Afterwards she quickly dialed Elliot's number. It rang and rang but she only got voicemail.
"El, it's Liv. Kathy told me what happened. Please call me and don't do anything stupid. Please." She ended the call, realizing it was almost ten already. She waited a few minutes and tried his number again. No answer.
Olivia decided she would try again when she got home. She was getting ready to leave the empty precinct when she heard someone come in. She didn't think anything of it, but she heard someone come in her door behind her.
"Livvv." Elliot's word slurred at the end.
Olivia turned to face him. He reeked of booze.
He's wasted. She thought.
"Elliot, how much did you have to drink?"
He walked, more like stumbled, closer to her. "I don't rememberr, I lost...I lost count."
"Look I get that you're upset, but that was no reason to go out and get wasted."
"It ssshouldn't have happened to Lizzie. She'sss my baby girl." He supported himself on her desk.
"Come on, I'll drive you back to your place." She walked past him to go to the door, but he grabbed her hand to stop her. He felt the ring on her finger he didn't notice before.
Shit. Olivia thought. But she barely had time to think.
"You're marrying him!" Elliot screamed at her.
"Elliot listen-" Olivia tried to get him to calm down, but he shoved her hand in her face like she didn't know the ring was on her finger.
"Lisssten to what!? I think it's pretty obvious!" Elliot continued to scream, he dropped her hand.
Olivia backed away from him, but he followed her. "Elliot stop this, you're not thinking clearly."
At this point he had her backed in the corner. "Oh I'm thinking just fine ttthhank you!"
"Elliot, back off, go home!" She kept her voice calm, but it wasn't working.
"DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!" Olivia jumped at his raise in volume. She eyed her cell phone and gun on her desk.
"Look at mmme!" Elliot was still screaming at her. She returned his gaze. Their eyes locked, glaring at each other, their faces only inches away from each others.
"Dddon't you love me?" Elliot asked her, his voice a little softer. His expression changed, back to normal a little.
"Elliot, I love you. You know that, I always will. But, not like that and you know it." She hoped to be able to get him to calm down.
Elliot closed the inches between them. "Come on, you havvvve to admit we have a connection, you can feel it, I know it!"
Olivia put a hand on his shoulder. "Yes. We have a strong connection that I will never have with anyone else. But you used to be my best friend, why would I jeopardize that?"
"Used to. That's it?"
"We are getting better, but unless you back off we won't-" Elliot stopped her by kissing her and pushing her against the wall. It took her off guard and she tried to push him off.
"El, no-" She said but he kissed her again. He started kissing her neck, but she managed to push him away. "Elliot! Enough! Stop!"
She could see the hurt look on his face, but it quickly turned into anger. He approached her again, glaring at her. Before she could process it, he slapped her across the face.
She held a hand to her face, staring at him. "Leave. Now."
He looked more pissed than before and it sent fear into her. Before she could move, he punched her hard in the stomach, sending her back into the wall. Elliot pinned her to the wall, glaring at her before he threw her to the ground. She winced in pain.
"Go to hell." It was barely audible, but he heard it and that set him off. He started kicking her repeatedly, not knowing what he was doing.
Olivia shielded her face, the only thing she could do. Elliot stopped, and Olivia covered her stomach with her hands in pain. She glanced up at him,but didn't see Elliot's face, she saw Lewis's face instead. It sent pure fear into her body, wishing she hadn't left her gun on her desk.
Elliot just stood over her, watching her for a minute. Olivia shook her head, looking at Elliot again, his face back.
"You see what you made me do!" Elliot screamed, bending down next to her.
"El... stop..please..." Olivia said, but she could barely speak. She coughed up a little blood.
Elliot had this look on her face that she'd never seen before, and it scared her deeply. "Stop, you want me to stop." Elliot grabbed her hair and pulled her up by it. Olivia gasped in pain. "You should love ME!" It made her jump, and she started having another flashback.
He didn't seem to notice. "Yyyou know what? Ssscrew you." He punched her hard in the face; she fell down, hitting her head off the corner of her desk, and she blacked out.
Elliot walked out of the office, as if nothing happened. He wouldn't remember it in the morning.
