A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed! Thanks For Reading!

Olivia sat up in her bed, incredibly disappointed that her dream was just that, a dream.

Olivia had started to develop feelings for Elliot quite some time ago. She would never breathe a word of it to him, or anyone else, she couldn't.

How could I think that was real? We could never… he would never feel the same way about me. He's married, he has five kids, and I'm… I'm just his partner.

Olivia sighed as she got out of bed. Another day fighting with Elliot she thought. She hated fighting with him. Maybe I was too hard on him; maybe I shouldn't have pushed him. I wonder what he would have said if I hadn't… if I gave him a chance to talk yesterday. Maybe today they would resolve their fight, She thought. It was stupid to stay mad at him; she really didn't want to fight anymore.

Olivia walked into the squad room, she saw Elliot sitting at his desk, he was early, which was normal for him. She walked over and sat down at her desk. She looked down at Elliot; he didn't look up at her.

"Warner ever get an ID on that little boy from yesterday?" she asked him, sitting down.

"Nope" Elliot said still not looking up from his desk.

"How is it that no one knows who this boy is? No one's reported any missing kids?"

"None matching his description"

"Any leads on who dumped him?"

"Nope" Elliot still hadn't looked up from his desk.

"Alright" Olivia said getting slightly annoyed.

Just when I was about to forget about this stupid fight, he won't even look at me, what the hell is his problem? She thought to herself.

Olivia rolled her eyes and got up. Why do I even try talking to him? She wondered.

Elliot looked up at his partner as she was walking away; he got up from his desk and began to follow her. She walked into an empty interrogation room.

What is she doing? Elliot wondered.

He walked into the room and shut the door behind him. Olivia spun around.

"What are you doing?" she snapped.

"I may ask you the same thing, why'd you come in here?"

"I don't owe you an explanation "

"Liv, can we stop this?" he reasoned.

"I don't know what you're talking about" she said turning away from him and walking towards the opposite side of the room.

He followed her and put his hand on her shoulder. She shivered slightly at his touch. He turned her around so she was facing him.

"I'm sorry about the other night, I don't know why I yelled at you like that… I do know that I feel terrible about the things I said… Liv you're my best friend." He said taking her hands. "You know me better than I know myself, I don't… I don't know what I'd do if you weren't my friend. I couldn't lose you… I've lost too much"

He looked into her brown eyes searching for her forgiveness.

"What do you mean you've lost too much?" Olivia asked a bit puzzled.

Elliot hesitated looking away from Olivia.

"El, come on, something's bothering you, you say I'm your best friend, you say you don't want to lose me, but if you can't trust me… if you don't let me help you… then I don't really know if that's a great friendship."

"It's not that I don't trust you, don't be ridiculous, of course I trust you…"

"Well then what El?"

Elliot looked away, and then looked back at Olivia.

"It's Kathy," he said hesitatively

"What's wrong, did something happen, is she alright?" Olivia questioned sounding a bit panicked.

Elliot chuckled at Olivia's slightly panicked expression.

"No, it's nothing like that… We're… well… we're getting a divorce" he said plainly.

"What!" Olivia said clearly stunned by Elliot's statement.

Olivia felt her heart start racing; did he really just say that? Okay… stay calm Olivia she said to herself. Maybe I didn't hear him correctly…

"Yup, we're getting a divorce"

"But… I thought things were okay with the two of you what happened? She said trying to hide the fact that this news quite pleased her.

Elliot looked down, not wanting to explain to his friend that his wife had been fooling around..

"She… she's been cheating on me" he said in a dull tone.

Olivia was speechless; she couldn't believe what she was hearing. She knew Elliot and Kathy had their problems, but she never thought Kathy would do something like this to Elliot.

"Oh El, I'm sorry" she finally managed to say.

"You know she tried to say it was my fault… maybe… maybe it is…"

"No, Elliot" Olivia put her hand on his arm "This isn't your fault, don't let her make you think any different."

"How… how can you say that? I mean maybe if I –"

"Stop" she interrupted firmly, "she cheated, that is not your fault El" she said trying to comfort him. She could see the pain in his eyes; it made her feel horrible to see him hurting this much.

"I… I just can't believe she would do this… I know she wasn't particularly happy with how much I worked, but I thought…" Elliot looked down shaking his head "I thought she loved me… but I guess I'm just a fool" he said

Olivia could tell he was desperately trying to hold back tears.

"El, you're not a fool" Olivia said gently rubbing his arm to comfort him "Kathy she's the fool, she just ruined the best thing she ever had. You're the most amazing man I've ever known, you're a great father, one of the best cops this city has ever seen, you're my partner, my best friend, you're one of the only people I've ever truly trusted … I hate to see you this way, and I will not let you blame yourself for what Kathy did." She looked at him smiling slightly to let him know she meant everything she'd just said.

Elliot looked at Olivia and smiled, he pulled her in and hugged her tight.

"Thanks" he whispered still embracing his partner.

He pulled away after what seemed like forever.

"Sorry I didn't tell you what was going on… I just –"

"Don't worry about it." Olivia said understandingly

"So… we're okay now" Elliot questioned nervously

"What do you think?" she said smiling and giving him the "obviously" look.

She turned and walked towards the door.

"Liv" Elliot called out just as she opened the door to leave.

"Yeah" she said turning around to face Elliot

"Thanks again" he said

"Anytime El… anytime" Olivia smiled and walked out of the room.
