Ok, I guess everyone likes it! This will have more than one more chapter, I'm guessing around five total, depending on reviews and ideas and junk!

I do not, have not, and will not own Law and Order SVU!

"How come Daddy can't come over?"

That damn question had hung in the air since that fateful day almost a month ago. Paige wondered why mommy left daddy, why daddy wasn't around before, why daddy can't still be around. It broke Olivia's heart each time Paige would burst into tears when she heard that Daddy isn't coming over. It wasn't Olivia's fault that Elliot wasn't coming over, it was the fact that the one time they had had sex had been incredible and the next day he announced he was going home to Kathy. That had been a wake-up call. Olivia had stayed about a month afterward, until she found out that she was pregnant. She upped and left, turning her notice in to Cragen that morning. Why couldn't he have chosen me?

SVU

Elliot glanced up at Tracey. She was gazing at him and her foot was gently stroking his under the desks. He shoved his chair back and headed for Cragen's office.

"Captain, I need a new partner."

"Detective Redding seems to be a fine officer. What's the problem?"

"She isn't, she just-"

"She isn't Olivia?"

"Yeah."

"Tough luck Detective. Stick it out a few more days and I'll see if I can pair you with Munch."

"Thanks," Elliot muttered as he stalked out of the office.

He picked up his desk phone and cradled it between his shoulder and his ear while he typed something on his computer.

"Dr. Dietz's office, please hold." Olivia groaned inwardly as she repeated the line for the hundredth time that day.

"Wait!"

Olivia panicked, the last time someone had said that, Paige was missing.

"What happened?"

"Liv?"

"What."

"Can I meet you?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Why?"

"No."

"Olivia. Please. Just meet me at the café on West Main Street." (A/N: I don't know if that is a real street.)

Olivia slammed the phone into the cradle, making the people in the Waiting Room jump.

Olivia pushed her chair back and went to find Cindy.

"Hey Liv!" The blonde greeted.

"Hey, can you cover for me?"

"Yeah. What's wrong?"

"Paige's father, you know? He wants to talk to me."

"Ooohhh, have fun!"

"This isn't exactly a meeting I'm looking forward to!"

SVU

Elliot folded the napkin over and over until it was a tiny square. He kept his eyes trained on the front door of the café, just in case. The tiny bell jingled and he jumped a little. Olivia stood in the doorway for a minute and Elliot noticed every male eye turn to her. Her hair was shoulder length and had light highlights. She had gained a little weight, but it made her look curvy, not pudgy.

She threw herself into the bench across from him and glared.

"You wanted to talk, so speak."

"I'm sorry."

"Bull shit."

"It seemed like a good idea at the time!"

"What did? Sleeping with me or running back to Kathy?"

"I wasn't thinking!"

"Shocker."

"Please give me another chance."

"Why should I?"

"Because I love you."

Sorry that was so short; I am pressed for time as my parents are being asses.
