Valentine Disaster

Chapter 4: Together

A/N: This chapter is dedicated to AliasCSINYFriendsER. You are a doll sweetie and your reviews never cease to make me smile.

"Did Maureen call while I was asleep?" Olivia asked as she leaned against Elliot's shoulder. The two of them sat on the couch, watching a movie that neither of them were all that wrapped up in.

"Yeah," Elliot replied. Maureen had gone to Quantico to spend Valentines Day with Spencer.

"Is she having a good time?" Olivia asked, unable to keep from grinning at the uncomfortable look on her husband's face.

"I didn't really ask," Elliot told her. "I really don't want to know about that."

"I wasn't talking about sex," Olivia laughed.

"Neither was I," Elliot protested.

"You're blushing," Olivia informed him with a smile as she lifted her head and kissed him.

"Am not," he protested as he pulled her closer.

Olivia allowed her eyes to drift closed but when an image of JJ's face flashed in her mind, they shot right back open again. A romantic dinner with her husband and just being with him like this wasn't enough to purge the nightmare from her conscious mind.

Elliot sensed the sudden change in his wife's mood "Are you all right?" he asked, turning to face her on. He saw the look on her face and knew that she wasn't.

"I just…" she began but trailed off; she felt foolish for still worrying about a man who she thought that she could forget. She didn't know how to explain to Elliot about the things she had seen in the dark recesses of her own messed up mind. "It's nothing," she said firmly, hoping that she could change the topic.

"It wasn't 'nothing'," Elliot stated plainly; he could see how it was affecting her. He was willing to give her the space she needed to come to him when she was ready though. He rubbed her stomach gently under her shirt and smiled when he felt their child stirring slightly. "Thought of any names?" he asked.

Olivia found herself smiling too. She was thankful that Elliot had decided to change the subject "A few," she admitted. "Have you thought of any?"

"I'm not good with names," Elliot admitted quietly.

"You're afraid you'll get it wrong?" Olivia said gently, covering his hand with hers where it rested on her stomach. "Don't be so afraid of it Elliot. Just pick a name that you like," she encouraged softly.

"I don't know," Elliot said, turning his head and kissing her "You choose the name."

"This is our baby," Olivia smiled softly. "I want us to share in everything, including naming him."

"Are you sure?" Elliot asked. "The men in my family are bad at naming kids," he looked down "How do you think I got my middle name?"

"Oh," Olivia smiled, giving him a soft kiss "El, I promise that if the name you choose is just plain horrible, I'll tell you."

"Okay," Elliot smiled "Promise?"

"Yes," Olivia giggled "Now just pick a name. I'm sure you have one in mind."

Elliot took a deep breath "Okay," he began "What do you think of…"

THE END

A/N: Okay, I know this is an extremely short chapter but I have to get back to "Elliot on Trial" soon or I'll be in trouble with… people who shall remain nameless. Anyway, I ask all of you who review to come up with a suggestion for the baby's name. Some ground rules… The name Edwin is DEFINITELY not an option, neither is the name Jason. Also the name William is out (That's my dad's name, just letting you guys know). So if you want to help me decide on a name, please include a suggestion for a first and middle name in your review. Thank you.
