I don't own them. Dick Wolf does. (Sniff,sniff). Also. I don't live in Queen's so I don't know if cab's go by there so if they don't then sorry.
Stabler House 11:30 PM.
Olivia and Elliot had spent all day chasseing down leads. None of witch actually helped there case any. Tomorrow they were going to look at Grace's apartment. Olivia pulled up in Elliot's drive way. The first thing that they both noticed was that the smashed car was gone and that all the glass was picked up.
"Wonder where the car went?" Elliot said looking at the spot where the car was a few hour's earlier.
"Maybe Kathy took it to the shop?" Olivia suggested also looking at the spot where the car was.
"Or maybe it's in the impound" Elliot said looking at Olivia. There eye's were locked again. But this time they quickly looked away.
"I'll see you tomorrow El" she said as Elliot got out of her car.
"Yeah. 6:45?"
"You know it." They smiled at each other for a moment before he closed the door and Olivia drove off. Elliot looked as she drove away. Elliot sighed and went inside.
"Hey Elliot" Kathy said as he walked trough the door. He looked at his wife who was sitting at the kitchen table.
"Kathy what are you doing up so late?" Kathy looked surprised.
"I told you earlier that we needed to talk." Elliot thought for a while then remembered.
"That's right. Sorry I must have forgotten." The two of them looked at each other for a moment before Elliot spoke.
"Listen Kathy about last night. I had absolutely no right to call you a bitch, and if you're angry about that, I don't blame you." Kathy looked at Elliot for a second and smiled.
"Elliot this is not about that. And frankly, I smashed in your windshield. I think you had an excuse. And I am going to pay for that by the way. "Elliot shocks his head.
"I don't care what you did Kathy. You shouldn't have to hear that from your husband, or anyone else for that matter." At the word husband Kathy stopped smiling.
"Elliot I think we should sit down." She motioned to the couch and sat down. Elliot looked confused again and sat down next to her. They looked at each other for a few moments before Kathy spoke.
"Elliot, what I'm about to tell you. I just want to let you know that this isn't your fault. Well it's kind of your fault but we both need to take blame." Kathy took a breath before continuing.
"We've been married for twenty year's. And through all that time. You were always at work and you were hardly home. I'm not saying that it's your fault" She added hastily after she saw Elliot's start to open his mouth to protest.
"Elliot, what I'm trying to say is that. Some woman can take that and some woman can't. And I'm not one of those woman that can take there husband's working all the time. Do you understand?" Elliot nodded yes. In his heart he knew what was coming next.
"And I deserve someone who I'm actually going to see more then two hour's a week and who care's about me instead of someone who care's about me and the entire New York city population "
"You do deserve someone like that. You're a great person Kathy." Elliot could see Kathy getting tear's in her eyes.
"Elliot I want a, I want a" but she couldn't get the word out. Elliot reached over and hugged her.
"It's okay. You don't have to say it. I understand. They continued to hug for a few moments' more before Kathy let go. She was crying
"God I'm the one that want's it and I'm the one crying. I'm sorry but I just can't take you working all the time. I know that you're only trying to do good but your never home and I need someone who is going to be here. I'm so sorry." Elliot put on a small smile.
"It's okay Kathy. We both knew that this was going to happen sooner or later." Elliot still had on a small smile then his face fell when he remembered something.
"Hey Kathy. What are we going to do about the kids?" Kathy wiped away the tears.
"I figured it would be joint custady. That way the kid's can visit you when ever they want to. And you can see them whenever you want to."
"That's a good idea. They would mostly be with you though." They looked at each other before Kathy spoke again.
"If you want. You can sleep on the couch until you can find a place to stay." Elliot shocks his head. He didn't want his kid's to see him sleeping on the couch. That's not the way he wanted them to find out.
"Or, I know a beautiful, single detective that has an empty couch" Kathy said gently. Elliot looked at her. She was smiling. Usually when Kathy would say something like that, there would be a frown or a glare on her face. Elliot smiled at her. They hugged once more before Elliot got up from the couch and went to the door. Kathy walked him to the door.
"You can come back here tomorrow so that we can tell the kid's together. And if you want, when the kid's are at school, I can pack your things."
"No it's okay. I can pack." They looked at each other before they hugged again.
"I'm going to miss you Elliot."
"I'm going to miss you too Kathy." They released the hug and Elliot hauled a cab. He looked back once more at Kathy and smiled at her and waved. Kathy smiled to and also waved. Elliot got in the cab and Kathy watched her soon to be ex husband drive away.
"Do you know how much I love you?" Elliot said smiling and looking at Olivia. She smiled back at him.
"Maybe tonight you can show me." The two of them smiled at each other and continued to walk on. They had taken a midnight stroll that night because they both had the day off tomorrow.
"The stars look so beautiful to night." Olivia said looking up.
"Just like you" Elliot said looking at Olivia. Olivia looked at him and smiled at him. She loved it when he talked to her like that. Elliot stopped walking and turned to face Olivia.
" Liv there's something I need to tell you." She looked at him in confusion.
"Okay what is it?" He took a deep breath before talking.
"Olivia. We've been going out for what six month's now. And in that time I realized that you're the one person in my life that I love, and that I would do anything for." Elliot got down on one knee. Olivia put her hands to her mouth and gasped. She knew what was going to come next.
"Olivia I love you. More then anything in this world. And I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Olivia Benson, will you knock, knock, knock." She looked at him in confusion for a moment before she woke up. She looked around her room and realized that it was all just a dream.
"It was just a dream. Just a wonderful, fabulous dream." She frowned and tried to go back to sleep, trying to continue the dream. But then she heard the knocking at her door again. She groaned loudly, threw off her covers and got out of bed. She heard another knock on her door.
"Coming" she yelled.
"This person better have one hell of an excuse" she thought to herself. She looked through the peep hole in her door and was surprised by who she saw on the other end. She opened the door.
"Elliot what are you doing here at 12:30 in the morning?" He would have been here a lot sooner but he just didn't have the courage to go up and talk to her.
"Well it's nice to see you too. Can I come in?" Olivia rolled her eyes and moved to let him in. Once inside she closed the door.
"So now do you want to tell me what you're doing here? You woke me up and I haven't had a decent night's sleep in at least a month." Elliot turned to face her. She was in a black tank top and a pair of black shorts.
"God she look's so beautiful" Elliot thought to him self. Olivia felt him staring at her and she actually kind of liked it.
"He's married. You're not going to be together. Get it out of your head!" she demanded herself.
"Sorry for wakening you up, but I need to talk to you. Olivia looked at him for a moment wondering what did he need to talk about at 12:30 in the morning
"Okay, do you want a drink?" Olivia asked him. Elliot shocks his head.
"Actually I wondered if we could just talk."
"Okay. Do you want to sit down?" Olivia said sitting down on her couch.
"Yeah." Elliot sat down next to her. It was a while before either of them talked. Finally Elliot started talking.
" Olivia there's something I need to tell you."
"Okay what is it?"
"Um, I and Kathy are getting a divorce." Olivia looked shocked.
"Oh my god Elliot I'm so sorry." She hugged him and Elliot hugged her back. He took in her scent of exotic flowers. They let go of each other and looked at each other.
"Did she tell you why?" Elliot looked at her.
"Yeah. She said that I wasn't home enough and that she deserved some one that care's about her instead of someone who care's about her and the entire New York City population. I guess she's right you know. I am never home and frankly I'm not that good of a husband." Olivia looked at him in shock.
"You listen to me Elliot Stabler. You are a hard worker, a good friend, a great father, and you're a wonderful husband. And anyone that can't see that is either completely stupid, or totally blind." Olivia looked at Elliot who looked back at her. They looked into each other's eyes for a few moments. Then they both moved forward. They moved closer and closer until there lips were only an inch apart. Then there lip's met. The kiss was soft and sweet. At that moment nothing existed except the two of them. There was no IAB, there was no angry Cragen forcing them to get new partners. Nothing except Olivia and Elliot. Elliot gently laid her down on the couch, then gently layed on top of her. Then he continued to kiss her. Neither of them was thinking right. All they kept thinking about was each other and how long each of them had wanted this. All was great until, Olivia's back hit the remote control witch she had thrown down earlier. The sound of the TV instantly dragged Olivia back to reality. She opened her eyes and looked at her partner, still kissing her.
"Elliot waits." Elliot instantly stopped kissing her and sat up. Olivia got up from the couch and ran a hand through her hair.
"Elliot we can't do this. I mean you just found out that your getting a divorce, and were partner's and if Creagon found out we would have to stop being partner's and I just don't think that this a good idea."
"Oh god what are you doing. You've waited six year's for this and you throw it all away in six second's" she thought to herself. Elliot got up from her couch and went over to her.
"Olivia if you don't want this I understand."
"You went to fast you idiot. Couldn't just settle with a kiss could you? No you had to take it one step forward." He thought to himself. They looked at each other for a moment before Olivia spoke.
"El can we talk about this in the morning? I'm just too confused and tired right now to discuss this. You can have the couch and there's are ready a blanket and pillow so your all set okay. Tomorrow I promise to talk about this."
"Okay" was all that Elliot said? Olivia went into her room, and shut the door. It took all of her strength not to dance around. She layed down on her bed and sighed happily.
"I just kissed Elliot Stabler. I just kissed the man that I've wanted for six years. Life is good."
