Disclaimer: If SVU ever ends up in a lost and found I'll be the first to claim it. But until then Dick Wolf owns it. I also don't own the song, which would be Lifehouse
A/N: Okay, so here's my second attempt at writing a songfic! I don't mind pointers or suggestions for songs! And if any of you guys have an ipod touch go get the app 'Law and Order Legacies' because you can play as Olivia freaking Benson! And my mom was also watching 'A Gifted Man' and Peter Hermann (Mariska's husband) played Victoria from the first twilight's husband. I was like hey I know that guy! Haha. Oh and my review question of the chapter totally failed haha. Oops!
Her heart didn't skip a beat she swore she felt it stop. Elliot was right in front of her face and she couldn't believe it. She was so bewildered her only reaction was to run up to the roof to attempt to catch her breath. He found her of course, sobbing.
"Liv…" He said trailing off. Elliot didn't realize he caused her to have this much hurt.
"How's Kathy?" Olivia asked still not catching her breath and still not looking him in the eyes.
"She's good. She and her new husband are happy. They get the kids a majority of the time… They used the whole 'you killed a kid' in divorce court." Elliot replied stepping closer. "Olivia, I'm so sorry I wasn't there. I'm so sorry I didn't say goodbye or speak to you or-" but before Elliot could finish his long list of apology Olivia's hand was on his mouth.
"I know, El." She said feeling amazing saying 'El' for the first time in a long time. "It doesn't help the hurt though." And with that she was back in the bullpen helping Munch with his paperwork.
He followed her down and looked up at Kelsey with a nod. She turned to her guitar and went to play on the stairs.
"Olivia, just hear me out on this one." Elliot said grabbing her hand and motioning towards Kelsey.
Kelsey began singing the Lifehouse song titled 'Whatever it takes'
"A strangled smile fell from your face. Oh it kills me that I hurt you this way." She began watching Elliot wrap his arms around Olivia and sway to the music with her; they were dancing away the hurt. Kelsey continued to sing, "I'll do whatever it takes, to turn this around, and I know what's at stake… And if you give me a chance I believe that I can change. I'll keep us together, whatever it takes." Kelsey finished the song and winked at Elliot before going back upstairs.
"I'm so sorry." Elliot said still not releasing Olivia from his embrace. "Can I tell you something?"
"Yeah." Olivia replied pressing herself closer to Elliot to make sure she wasn't dreaming.
"I have feelings for you." Elliot replied taking Kelsey's advice.
"I do too." Olivia replied. And that's when it happened; Elliot leaned in and pressed his lips against Olivia's causing sparks to fly. Sure she dreamed that one day Elliot would come back and kiss her and is her knight and shinning armor, but she didn't expect it to be anything incredible as this. Cragen stepped out of his office shocked at the scene before his eyes. Elliot and Olivia we're kissing in the center of the squad room while the entire precinct cheered them on.
"Quit playing grab ass before IAB finds out about this!" Cragen said before re-entering his office.
"We need to talk, figure this whole thing out." Olivia responded, her forehead dropping to his. "Come over to my apartment after work?"
When Olivia, Elliot, Kelsey, and Calvin reached Olivia's apartment Olivia gave Kelsey and Calvin a knowing look to go somewhere else. So while Olivia and Elliot were in the living room, Kelsey and Calvin were in the music room, it was a gift from David which had a piano, guitar and computer, it was the only thing that they could thank him for.
Olivia sat down on the couch as did Elliot. "I'm so sorry that I hurt you." Elliot said dropping his head into his hands. Olivia grabbed his face and cradled it between her hands.
"I know. I know how hard Jenna's case was for you, I know you left because you had to, but the important thing is that your back now." She said leaning in and kissing his nose.
"I missed how forgiving you are, Liv." Elliot stated before wrapping his arms around her, "I promise you, I will never leave you or Kelsey or Calvin, ever again. I want to be here for you guys."
"Okay. I believe you. But, it seemed like you and Kelsey knew each other." Olivia said
"When I called Cragen he told me all the new things that have happened since I was gone. And he told me you had two kids and he gave me your new address so I sent Kelsey a package telling her I need her help and a bunch of pictures of us over the years. I hope you're not mad, I just-." But he was cut off with a kiss
"I just can't stop kissing you." Olivia whispered chucking, "I'm so done with this hurt, and bringing it back doesn't make it any better, so can we just pretend you never left. I know we're a thing now, but I think we can put you leaving behind us."
"Okay." He said touching his forehead to hers and giving her a gentle kiss before the knock at the door broke them apart.
When the pizza arrived, the four of them ate dinner and Kelsey and Calvin got to know Elliot better. It was a family night nonetheless. After a few hours of eating and watching movies, Elliot decided to spend the night and came into Kelsey's room before going to bed. Of course she was playing her guitar.
"Thank you again, Kelsey." Elliot said sitting down
"Your welcome, I just don't want my mom, Cal, or me to be hurt if you leave again." Kelsey said setting her guitar down and looking at him with seriousness in her eyes.
"I won't." Elliot responded truthfully, "I will never let you or your mom or brother feel like I abandoned you, I promise."
"Okay, and call me Kels. My family can call me Kels." She said
"Then, goodnight, Kels." Elliot responded kissing her forehead before leaving her room and crawling into bed with Olivia.
