Since there weren't any new cases, all the detectives worked on some paper work and engaged in small conversation. While they were doing this, a tall, dark man in an all black suit walked in. The first to notice was Elliot. He stood and addressed the man. "Can i help you sir?" Elliot asked.

However, the man ignored him as he caught Olivia's eye causing him to smile. She slowly stood, wide-eyed as she stared at him. "Hi Olivia." the man slowly walked towards her as she took a step back.

"You know this guy?" Elliot asked, watching the interaction happen.

Olivia ignored Elliot as she took another step back. "Dean?" she said quietly as she stared at the man walking towards her.

"Yeah babe, it's me." he reached for her hand but she flinched and quickly put her hands in her pockets.

Elliot frowned at this realizing that this was the man who hurt her. "What are you doing here? H-how did you find me?" Olivia asked, glancing quickly at Elliot and then back at Dean.

"I looked you up. I missed you and i had to find you." He told her.

"You should leave. I have nothing to do with you anymore." Olivia turned to leave but Dean grabbed her wrist pulling her back. This action caused Both Munch and Fin to stand and Elliot to approach him.

"Take your hands off of her." Elliot told him firmly, stepping up next to Olivia.

"What are you going to do if i don't?" Dean tested.

"Take your hands off of her." Elliot repeated more firmly than before. Having seen the incident, Cragen walked out of his office.

Dean let go of Olivia's wrist and stepped up to Elliot. "Why do you care? You banging her?" Dean stepped up closer to Elliot. "You know she's a screw up right? A product of rape. She even miscarried our child. Who does that?" He whispered. "She's a slut. She screwed me over and now she's going to screw you over too."

Losing all self control, Elliot grabbed him by his neck and slammed him into the nearest wall, he punched him in the nose and again in the jaw and was going in for another one when Olivia rested her hand on his shoulder. "Elliot, stop. He's not worth it."

Taking a deep breath, Elliot nodded. He pulled Dean close to him by his collar and whispered in his ear, "If you ever come near her again, you will be hospitalized or worse." He pulled back and let go. "Get out of here." With that Dean left and Elliot turned to Olivia. He caressed her cheek. "Are you okay baby?" she nodded and he kissed her with all the passion he had.

"Elliot my office." Cragen said, breaking the couple apart.

"We need to talk." Elliot told her.

"I know." She replied. He pecked her lips quickly and walked into the Captains office.

"What was that?" Cragen asked as he shut the door.

"That was Liv's ex and the things he said about her... Captain i had no choice. I had to-"

"Didn't i tell you not to bring you relationship into the squad room?" Cragen cut him off.

Elliot sighed. "Captain you don't understand..."

"You're right Elliot, i don't. What you did out there was completely unprofessional. You know better than that Elliot."

"I know but i wasn't going to let him say those things about her and get away with it."

"And punching the man was the right thing to do?"

"It was a reflex Captain. I-i didn't think about.."

Cragen cut him off yet again, "You're right. You didn't think. Go home Elliot."

"Huh?"

"Go home. Come back tomorrow. I don't want you here right now."

"But Captain I-"

"You're dismissed." Cragen said coldly.

Elliot left and slammed the door behind him. "Is everything okay El?" Olivia asked when she saw him walking towards her.

He shook his head and gathered his things. "I'm being sent home. Call me when you get off and I'll come over. We still need to talk." she nodded and he kissed her forehead before leaving.

At around 8, Elliot knocked on Olivia's door. She opened the door and in his hand was a bag of Chinese food. She smiled and let him enter. "Water, soda or beer." she asked as she walked to the kitchen.

He smirked. "Like you don't know. Beer please." She returned with two cans of beer. "Thanks."

"You're welcome." she told him as she opened her beer. "So you wanted to talk?"

"Why didn't you tell me you miscarried?" He asked causing her spit out her beer on the floor.

"What?"

"Dean told me you miscarried. Why didn't you tell me?"

She sighed. "Because it was a part of my past that i wanted to forget."

"How'd it happen?"

"El..."

"Baby you can tell me anything. I won't judge you."

"I know." She took a deep breath. "I found out i was pregnant and i didn't know how to tell Dean so i waited for a couple of weeks. When i told him, he went insane. He started throwing things, hitting me, calling me a 'slut' and a 'whore'. Then he said that i didn't deserve to carry his baby so he punched me a few times in my stomach and shoved me. He kicked me too." At this point Olivia was on the verge of tears. She shook her head and continued. "After he left, i went to the hospital and they said that i had lost the baby. He found out and blamed the whole thing on me."

"God baby. I'll kill him." Elliot whispered and pulled her closer to him and embraced her in a hug as she sobbed. "Did you call the police?"

She shook her head. "No because for some reason, deep down, i still loved him. God i was so stupid."

"No you weren't baby."

"He uh, he kept beating me and finally i broke up with him. He told me that i would never find a man that would love me and that if i did, then i didn't deserve him."

"You did baby. I'm right here. And you deserve someone better than me. If anything, i don't deserve you." He told her and kissed her forehead.

"I love you." she whispered to him.

"I love you too Liv." He kissed her forehead again and rubbed her arm.

"After that i moved and changed my number and i haven't seen him since, well except today."

"Don't worry about him baby, he shouldn't show his face any time soon. I kind of threatened him today."

She smiled lightly, "Yeah i heard. What did Cragen say?"

"He was just pissed that i hit him. He said i can come back tomorrow." She nodded.

"Elliot?"

"Yeah?"

"Don't hurt me. Don't leave me." she told him looking directly into his eyes.

"I won't baby. I promise i won't." she nodded and he kissed her lips. "Our food's getting cold."

She chuckled. "Yeah, i forgot about it." They dug in and enjoyed their food in a comfortable silence.

After finishing their dinner, they sat on the couch watching Netflix wrapped in each other's arms. Halfway into the movie, Elliot's cell rang. "Stabler?" he answered. "What? Kathy calm down... Okay i'm on my way." Elliot stood up and threw on his jacket.

"What's up?"

"Dickie's in the hospital." Olivia immediately jumped up and followed him out the door.

What's wrong with Dickie? Is this the last time we hear from Dean? What else is coming in the next chapter? Review to find out!
