To be completely honest...I didn't intend to leave chapter 3 there...but that just means that you'll have to wait and see where I was going to end it in this one. =] school's started so it might take longer but that's the price I pay for playing soccer, fall ball (softball) and volleyball and soon to be basketball...=/ so let's get this show on the road shall we?.....here is chapter 4!!!

Here's where we left off....

"So you going to tell me what happen that included that song, or do you want me to make your life more hell? You know it would help you a hell of a lot if you just told someone..."

Elliot looked at Josh before slowly pushing down on the gas. "It's a long story." He mumbled.

"It's a long way there."

After much typing...here's Chapter 4!!

As the car accelerated down the vacant street and Cragen's car parked out front of the banquet hall finally came into view about 30 minutes later, Elliot let out a slow shaky breath as his speech of the past was finally over. The humming of the engine started to fade and he smoothly slid into the spot behind Cragen and jerked the key to be met with the silence of night. Turn towards Josh, he saw that his coworker was abnormally quiet and blank.

"…Josh…?" Elliot asked warningly.

"Well…" Josh said loudly after a few minutes of silence, surprising Elliot a little. "That explains a lot." With just a nod of his head he unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car swiftly, causing Elliot to narrow his eye. Jumping out of the car too, he was caught off guard when he saw Josh leaning over the car hood staring at him, since he had expected him to walk swiftly away for some reason.

"What do you mean 'That explains a lot'?" Elliot asked eyes still narrow.

"Well for one it explains you deep hatred for the song, why you're always so depressed or secluded at formal events, why you really hate the name Kathy, trust me, so would I, and why your eyes would glaze over when ever Munch, Cap' or I would talk or ask about the past." With another shrug, he started to walk away and towards Don and Munch, who were waiting for them on the steps, only to have Elliot stand right in front of him with the same narrowed eyes.

"What are you trying to say, Clamento?" Elliot asked sternly, using the voice he would use on the perps in interrogation. Josh started to laugh so hard he had to hold his stomach from the pain. Standing up straight again, he looked at Elliot, still laughing slightly, who had a look on his face as if to ask if he was on crack.

"Eli, you are the stupidest person I have ever met!" cocking his head to one side, Elliot looked at Josh with the same narrow eyes before his eyes softened and a grin cracked on his face. "That's what I was trying to say." Josh, who was cracking up again, said as he leaned on the front end of the car for support.

"I'm still not really following you Joshy. Why are you cracking up?" Elliot asked still very confused. Josh controlled his laughed a little before standing up and looking Elliot dead in the eyes.

"Dude, you just get so pissed so easily! That's why I'm laughing." he swung his arm around Elliot's shoulder and started to walk at a now concerned faced Captain and amused Munch. "See Eli," Josh continued as he wiped his hand in front of them threw the air, "the way I see it, is if and when you ever see this Olivia again, I say just throw her up against the wall and kiss her like there's no tomorrow. But hey, that's just me. What that Kathy did was a bitch ass thing to do, and if I were you, she would've been hanging upside down from the flag pole in her prom dress still." Josh howled, resembling Bruce a little to Elliot.

"Dude, are you drunk or something?" Elliot asked threw a small crooked grin.

"Nope! Just feel different for some reason. Like more…energetic, more…alive, I guess." Josh said as they came to a halt in front of the rest of the unit. "You know…one of those names in your story sounds familiar…" receiving a questionable look from Elliot

"You guys ok…?' Cragen asked with a concerned covered face making Elliot forget for the moment.

"Yepper re bob!" Josh said receiving a slap in the back of the head from Munch and Elliot. "Ow! Goddamnit you mother f-"

"Yea we're fine Cap." Elliot said cutting him off with a smirk as the question and concern started to dwindle from Cragen's eyes.

"Good, because if I had to explain that one of my best detectives killed another one of my best to the chairman, director, and other important people, that wouldn't go over well." Cragen said as he led the way into the banquet hall. Walking up the grand staircase, they were met by huge golden archways with navy blue and gold drapes flowing gently in the soft fall breeze. Walking threw the hallway towards the ballroom, the group stopped periodically to talk to former coworkers, old partners and bosses, and just straight up friends. Stepping into ballroom, a sweet aroma filled the air as they made their way over to their table, which had been set for seven. The ballroom was a huge dome with navy blue and gold drapes descending from the ceiling. There had to be at least 200 tables. Half the tables were covered with a navy blue cloth some gold with opposite napkins. Their table was covered with a navy blue table cloth and gold napkins set up elegantly at each seat. At each table there was a thin glass vase that held a white rose that was dipped in blue at the top, with a leaf of baby's breath along with it. Elliot visibly cringed and Josh put a soft hand on his shoulder with a sympathetic and reassuring smile.

"So…does anyone want a drink?" Elliot asked as he shrugged off his outer coat, leaving on his dinner jacket, and draped it around his chair. Cragen took the chair to his left, Munch on the other side of Cragen and Josh, on the other side of Munch, leaving the 3 empty seats next to Elliot. The one next to Josh for his wife.

"Coke and Sprite please." Cragen always loved the mixture of a coke and sprite Elliot observed.

"Just a glass of white wine, El." Munch isn't much for alcohol either, but if so, just beer and wine. Elliot looked at Josh who just got up and came to stand next to him.

"I'll come with. There's no way I'm going to leave you alone with my drink. You might try to poison me or kill me some how." Josh joked as Elliot smirk on their way to the bar.

"No Josh," Elliot said in fake hurt. "I would never poison you." Josh flashed him a smile "Shooting you would be so much easier for me. Though, poison wouldn't cause as much a mess to clean up." Out of the corner of his eye, Elliot saw Josh stop dead in his tracks as Elliot laughed and continued on his way to the bar.

"Yes sirs, what would you gentlemen be having today?" the bartender asked as he whipped the inside of a glass with a white cloth.

"The name's Clamento. Josh Clamento. And I want a Martini. Stirred, not shaken." Josh said in his best James Bond Voice as he straightening his bow tie. The bartender laughed in amusement as Elliot shook his head and rolled his eyes.

"And I need a coke/sprite, a glass of white wine, doesn't matter what brand, and a coke and raspberry vodka mix please." Elliot said with a laugh. As the bartender nodded his head and went to fix their drink Elliot turned to Josh and just shook his head. "Dude, you don't even deserve a slap in the back of the head for that."

"You loved it, don't lie." He said as the bartender placed his martini in front of him and walked away smirking. "Yo Eli, babe at 10 o'clock!" Josh howled with laughter.

Elliot turned around, just in time to see…no one. He looked at Josh as if he was crazy. "Josh there's no one there."

"'Cause she just left. Damnit! Why does that always happen to me? Oh thanks man!" Josh said as he picked up his martini and Munch's wine. "Here you go." He handed him a ten-spot and started to walk away with Elliot at his side in a flash.

"Joshy, do you always tip so nicely to your bartenders and waiters?" Elliot laughed.

"Yep! Why should they not get paid for having to put up with me and you?" Josh laughed "Especially when I'm messin' with them." He said as he placed Munch's wine in front of him and sat down.

"Yea and for the record, it 'Shaken, not stirred'. Haven't you ever seen Dr. No? Casino Royal? Or any of the 20 between? With Shawn Connery or Daniel Craig?" With all of Elliot questions receiving a 'no', Elliot shook his head and sat down in his seat. "Josh, you've lived a very deprived life my friend. I can't believe that you've never seen any of them!" He laughed slightly before looking at Cragen. "So what's on the agenda for tonight Cap.?"

"Well, right now we just mingle. Dinner's being served at 8, and then we dance. At around 10ish they're going to do the award ceremony, more dancing after that and just go home whenever." Cragen said as he took a sip of his drink and sighed in satisfaction.

"When does Eli find out who his new partner is?" Josh asked with a smug smile towards Elliot, who pick out an ice cube from his drink and tossed it at him. Only to have Josh catch it in his mouth just to show off.

"Hey…" A velvet soft voice said behind Josh as her arms surrounded his neck "Nice trick. You're going to show me it later, right?" His wife, Rebecca Scarlet Clamento, spoke softly against his neck as she kissed it gently, making Josh close his eyes and smile.

"Well, maybe later…" Josh said as he pulled her around to stand next to him and pulled himself up. His left hand went up to cup her cheek, his right just below her jaw line, while Rebecca's hands went to his neck. Josh and Rebecca had no problem showing PDA but to a point. They wouldn't hook up or go into a make out session, but you know what I mean. Munch rolled his eyes while Cragen and Elliot snickered as Josh and Rebecca kissed softly. Josh smiled into the kiss before backing out and looking into her eyes with suck love and passion, Rebecca could only mirror his swarming hazel eyes with a smile. Looking around, Elliot saw more than 30 women looking at Her in deep hatred and laughed out loud when he saw a couple were actually wearing a light green or electric blue dressed. Munch looked around and smirked at Elliot and took a sip of his drink. Looking at them again, Elliot frowned slightly as his world began to coat with black and his memories appeared full blast. He was watching his prom night as if he was in the audience of an old movie. It was his least favorite part of his life.

Olivia was opening the door to the limo. Elliot ran as fast as he could to her and just caught her wrist before she got in.

"Liv, please, just wait...wait a seco-"

Her heart wrenching sob tore threw for the millionth time as her slap could have made him flinch in reality.

"I know you probably think I have...like no right to be upset, but I...I..." Her voice was soft as tears flowed down quietly it tore out his heart. He couldn't remember what she said next because all could hear was the ringing mixture of her sob and slap.

"I wish I'd said 'no' when you asked me." And BAM! The tingling ringing in his ear was gone and his blood ran straight out of his face. She said it so low so...soft that she could have said it over a mega phone in the quietest place in the world and it wouldn't have hit him that hard. Climbing into the limo, she left him standing there with tears flowing down his face. Turning around he-"

"YO ELI!"

"Huh…? What?" Elliot looked around to see everyone looking at him in concern. Only one look showed pity and sympathy. Josh.

"I was just saying" Cragen said looking at Elliot for a moment then at Josh, then back to Elliot "that your new partner called. Couldn't make it to night and will see you at work tomorrow. That's when I'll have to introduce you two tomorrow." With a devilish smirk on his face, he took a sip of his C/S.

"Can you at least-"

"No."

"But you don't even-"

"No."

Just then, the waiters and waitresses came out and distributed their food to their table and left with out a word. For the most part they eat in silence, that is until Josh said something about how a fly took a sip of Munch's coffee and died in the cup.

They all ordered coffee, with the exception of Rebecca, who ordered tea, after their meal. Being the curious detective that is John Munch, he kept asking questions as to why she was drinking tea. Herbal spice tea to be exact.

"I just like this stuff more than coffee." Rebecca replied taking a sip as her left hand came around her waist and rested on Josh's hand that was resting on her waist.

"Come on. I was born in the morning, but not this morning. 3 weeks ago, you were drinking it as if it was god's gift to earth and now you're saying you like tea better?! No way. There's just no way." Munch refused to give up that easily even though Cragen thought it was a reasonable explanation. Women change their mind every day!

"Fine! If you must know…" She looked at Josh with a brilliant smile before turning back to him. "My dentist told me 2 and a half weeks ago that the damages coffee could do to your teeth and the stains it will leave and I decided to lay off the coffee." She looked at Josh again shortly, but enough for them to see the love in each other's eyes.

"You're lying!" Munch said as if it was the most incredulous thing ever said. Elliot who was sitting back in his chair, smiled in amusement at the little batter between them. But also not missing the action Josh did not one second ago. Mouth dropping open slightly he put his coffee down and looked at them even though they didn't see him.

"Man, what makes you think she's lying?!" Josh said shaking his head. His glance went to Cragen, who was now talking fluently with the homicide commissioner, before looking at Elliot for a split second before turning to Munch again. But once he saw his face, he did a double take and looked at him in shock, mirroring Elliot's face for a second or two before smiling and looking back at Munch.

"Because she had a dentist appointment last time you lied!! Why are you drinking tea damnit?!?!"

"Because you're pregnant, aren't you, Becca?"

Josh's face cracked into a huge grin, Rebecca blushed deep and smiled brightly, Munch's jaw dropped 15 floors, while Cragen stopped dead in his conversation and looked at Elliot.

"What?!" Munch and Cragen ask simultaneously.

"How did you figure it out?" Rebecca asked her velvet smooth voice filled with love and joy.

"Easily. First off, Joshy was being more then his normal hyper-self. Something had to be up. Secondly, no offence, but you normally drink a couple glasses of white wine or a couple Jack and Coke's, but instead you only had 1 glass of red wine then water. And if I remember correctly, a glass of red wine every now and then, it's is good for the baby. But mainly, when Munch and you were arguing, Josh's hand slid to your stomach and was rubbing it soothingly kind of." Elliot shrugged as he looked at the shocked faces of Cragen and Munch and laughed.

"Well…how about that! Our own personal Sherlock Homes!" Josh joked as he laughed and pulled Rebecca into a soft hug.

"How far along?" Munch asked quietly, realization finally settling in.

"2 weeks. Give or take a few days." Rebecca said as the smiles never left her face. Taking a small sip of her tea, she turns herself towards Josh and kisses him softly on the cheek. "Love you babe." She whispers to him softly.

"Love you more, baby." He says back as she lays her head on his shoulder.

"So what do you want to name it?" Cragen asked after he finished off his conversation with the commissioner and turned back to the group.

"Well we each picked out a boy and girl name each. So altogether we're good for 2 boys and 2 girls." Josh joked, receiving a little slap in the shoulder and a laugh from Rebecca. "For a girl, I picked Makayla Rose."

"And I picked Azalea Carmen. Yes it's a weird name but it's unique. My best friend's little girl's middle name is Azalea, and I just feel in love with it"

"I don't think it's weird…" Elliot stated honestly and Munch nodded in agreement.

Rebecca smiled slightly, pleased that they liked it before continuing. "And if it's a boy, I want him to be named after Josh. Joshua Ryan."

"And for me, I choose Anthony Richard. I don't mind if we name him after me, but I think I would need time to get use to there being another Joshua Ryan in the world." Josh said with a smirk and took a sip of his coffee. After talking about the baby, Munch went over to grab another drink for Elliot and himself while Cragen walked over to talk to the board of Directors. Elliot, Josh and Rebecca were talking when Josh got quiet for a second and looked at Elliot.

"Eli, can I ask you something very important?"

"No I will not marry you."

Rebecca bursted with laughter and Josh got red faced and laughed along, before becoming serious again.

"Nah…umm…but I was wondering…would…would you do us the honor of being our baby's godfather?"

…Silence…

Elliot looked at them in complete shock before it melted into a full face grin. "I…I'd love to!"

Josh and Rebecca smiled with relief as love and joy continually showed on their faces. Just as Josh was about to say something else, the Chairman of the Board of Directors stood up and signaled for everyone to settle down. Cragen came back over to the table with a smile and a pat on Elliot's shoulder.

"Welcome everyone to our 20th annual Fall Banquet. We're going to start with the awards, then afterwards you're free to dance and leave whenever is suitable for you and you guests. So if all of you would take your seats, we'll get started." Lifting up one of the wooden plaques, he watched as everyone quieted down before clearing his throat and looked over the floor. "This first award is for 'Numbers of Homicide cold-cases solved'. This award is presented to James DeMarcanii!" James walked up to the platform as a wave of applauds and whistles filled the room before shaking the Chairman's hand firmly and taking the award. Picking up the next award, it went on like this for the next half hour, with awards like 'Most Dedicated', 'Unit of the Year', 'Motivation for His/Her Unit', and other things like that. The last award was right before they moved third grade officers to second and second grade officers to first grade officers. Since the beginning, Elliot was beginning to think that his captain just told him he was getting an award just s he would come, since they handed out every award that they normally did.

"This award was brought to my attention not just by the rest of the Board of Directions and this team's Commanding Officer, but by a very special young woman. As I sit there in this café and was confronted my her, I realized that this Unit doesn't get as much credit as it should, because this Unit has one of the hardest and worst jobs to do in the NYPD. Dealing with live victims. So I am proud to present this new found award, the 'Kit Lee' award for outstanding compassion and sympathy for victims, to Special Victim's First Grade detective Elliot Stabler." As he finished there wasn't one seat that had someone sitting in it. Applauds, whistles and shouts caused the room to vibrate slightly as Elliot got up, a light red with his blush, and walked up to the platform. Shaking his hand firmly, Elliot took the plaque, nodded his head in his form of thanks before walking off to be met with more claps and whistles. Back at the table, Josh took his hand and pulled him into a tight brief hug, Munch and Cragen following suit, and Rebecca pulled him into a soft but tight hug.

"Congratulations Elliot." She said as she kissed his cheek and went to sit back down, with Josh's waiting arms around her chair. "Hey Handsome." She kisses him gently before pulling him up to meet her and taking one of his strong hand's in her soft one. "Let's dance." And with no chance for objections, Josh is dragged to the dance floor as a slow song came on.

"Hey El…?" a soft voice calls behind him, making his heart skip a beat for a second, but calms down as he turns around to find Long Island's Homicide's detective Jezebel Mezzer standing in front of him with a glass of dark red merlot. Half Moon.

"Jez!?" Elliot's face broke into a smile as she set down her drink before he scooped her up and hugged her tightly before letting go to hold her at arm's length. "Wow, Jez, I haven't seen you in what…8 years?"

"That's what it seems like. So, El, how have you been? Munch still driving you crazy yet?" She asked

Jezebel and Elliot's Units were combined to cover a case. Elliot's rape victim was found dead next to Homicide's serial killer. Both hoping that was the end, they ended up stumbling onto an underground smuggling of women from the Middle East and the serial killer was a co-owner in the smuggling. Though it wasn't the best way to meet someone new, Elliot and Jezebel hit it off nicely after to turn out to be good friends. Jezebel reminded him a lot of Jenna. She has reddish-blond hair that's pin straight and stops mid-back. Both have green eyes that just make you want to pour your guts out. She was wearing a little black dress that ended right at her mid-thigh and was a backless halter dress with a modest dip for a neck line.

"Can I have this dance?" she asked sweetly as Elliot nodded and was led to the dance floor.

1 song became 3 which became 6.

"Hey Eli…" Josh said as he and Rebecca came over as Jezebel and he were taking sips of their drinks. "Me and m'lady are going to head out, okay?"

"Yea okay, I'll see you tomorrow. Becca, it was great to see you again. Don't be a stranger at the squad room okay?" Elliot said as he hugged her softly and shook Josh's hand firmly.

"Will do Eli. And congratulation's again for your award." Rebecca velvet voice said as she grabbed her clutch and shawl and hooked her arm around Josh's.

"Yea congrats! See ya tomorrow Eli!" Josh yell over his shoulder as they began to walked out.

"El, come on! One more song! It's my favorite slow song." Jezebel said as she put her glass down and the melody started. Elliot's face dropped and he could just tell that Josh had stopped walking and turned back to look at him.

"Actually Jez, I've got to go. Thank you so much for the dances. And now that I have your number, we'll keep in touch okay? Cap' I have to go. I'll see you tomorrow. What time's my new partner going to be in?" Elliot asked as he grabbed his jacket and pulled it on.

"Uhh…7-ish." A shocked Cragen said as he, Munch and Jezebel watched in shock at how quickly he chose to leave.

"Alright. Night Cap'. See you tomorrow John. Jez," he went over and kissed her cheek before turning away. "nice to see you again." Elliot walked right past Josh and Rebecca and straight to his car as the words flowed threw the air.

If it takes the rest of my life
Baby I will wait for you

2 hours and a hot shower later, Elliot lays in his bed staring up at the wall before looking at his clock and reads 1:42 a.m. Blink! 3:27 a.m. Blink! 4:59 a.m. Blink! 5:38 a.m.

"Come on Elliot, Wakey wakey, sleeping beauty!!" Little Elliot said as he blast his alarm in his ear and giggles and the bigger him jerks out of bed in an instant. "Now that was funny! Yo! What that fuc-" 4 rounds of automatics go off and Elliot visibly smiles.

…So that's where the semi-automatic was…

Since it's Sunday, and all he has to do today is paper work, paper work, and did I mention paper work? Pulling out a pair of boxers and a pair of jeans, he slipped into them before heading into the bathroom, bare chested and bare foot and wets his face with cold water to wake himself up more. Shaking the can, he sprays shaving cream into his hand before rubbing the 2 together and applied it to his face and washed his hand along with the top of his razor. 1,2,3. three smooth strips of skin appear on the left side of his face. After he rinses it, the same appears on the other side. After he's done the face, he moves to the neck and stops. Looking at his own piercing blue eyes he presses the blade hard against his neck and watch as crimson blood starts to seep out and blend with the white shaving cream, pressing harder, he start to feel dizzy and drops the razor into the water filled sink and holds onto the edge of the sink. Looking back at the mirror, he stares at the pure white cream on his neck and thinks how easy that would be, but just picks up the razor again and finishes shaving. Walking back into his bedroom, he pulls out a black and white graphic tee and a grey zipper hoodie. Pulling the shirt on after putting on deodorant, Elliot pulls on socks and his black Nike Speeds before grabbing his hoodie, gun, badge, and keys.

Making it to squad room right on time, Elliot pulls on his jacket and clips on his badge and gun. Locking the car and listening to the triple beeps, Elliot road the elevator from the parking garage to the SVU Unit and pushed threw the door just in time to have Josh toss a small brown bag at him and Munch hand him a cup of Starbuck's coffee. Sitting at his desk and pulling out an Everything Bagel with little cream cheese Josh and Munch brought back for him from breakfast, he finally looks over at the desk where his new partner will be sitting.

…Hmm, they must already be here. And they have good taste…

The chair had an Armani beige leather jacket off the back of the seat. Looking over at Josh and Munch, they just shrugged and went back to doing paper work.

"Elliot, can you come here please." Cragen said from his door way with a smile. Elliot literally jumped out of his seat and walked over to the Captain's office. Shutting the door, he noticed that the room was empty except for him and Cragen. Obviously understanding his confusion, Cragen smile and sat on the edge of his desk.

"Don't worry son, you partner just went to the bathroom. Be back anytime soon." Cragen smile as Elliot relaxed slightly and smile.

"Cap' can't you tell me anything before they get back?"

"No."

"But why?"

"Because he-"

The doorknob turned and Elliot turned his head to great his new partner. His heart stop.

He's dead…he HAS to be dead. He can't remember how to breath or how to think. They haven't changed one bit since high school. Not at all! His body goes numb, senses long gone. He can't hear, breath, see, think, anything!!! But some how he's still able to stand up. Defying laws of gravity, because he should be face on the ground right now. The only thing that's showing that's showing any emotion is his face. Shock, pure and simple shock. And it mirrors' on their face too.

…guess I haven't changed much from high school either…

"Elliot…" Cragen said with a bright smile. "I'd like you to meet your new partner…"

MWAHAHAHAHA! Cliff… and THIS is where I wanted to end it!
