Confrontation

Elliot was playing with Luke on the floor of his living room when the buzzer rang. He got up and went to answer it.

"Yeah?"

"Hey, it's me. Let us in"

Elliot hit the button to unlock the door. He opened the door to his apartment and waited for Olivia to come off the elevator. Elliot smiled when he saw Jake run off the elevator and into his arms. Elliot backed up into the apartment to allow Olivia to enter.

"Hey Jake!"

"Hey Daddy! I missed you today."

Elliot kissed the side of Jake's head, "I missed you too. Hey, why don't you go in the living room and play with Luke?"

"Okay"

Elliot put Jake down and he ran into the next room. Elliot turned to Olivia. Elliot grabbed her bye the waist and brought her against him.

"Hey Liv," he smiled into her hair.

"Hey El, how was school?"

He leaned down and gave her a passionate kiss, "It was great. Luke was great and even remembered to call me Mr. Jones when one of the other teachers surprised us."

"That's good," she returned the kiss. "So, what's for dinner?"

"I was thinking that I would make you guys my special chicken fettuccini. How's that sound?"

"Umm…that sounds great. I have definitely missed that."

Elliot grinned, "I know, I am the only one who can make it right. Don't even try to go to an Italian restaurant, they just don't know the secret."

Olivia gave him a small kiss on the lips, "Don't get ahead of yourself now. I said I missed it, I didn't say it was the best," she teased.

Elliot stuck out his bottom lip and pretended to pout, "But Liv…I thought you said it was the best. Well, if you don't think so, then I can just order us a pizza."

Olivia laughed, "I was just kidding, love. Yours is definitely the best."

"That's what I thought," he smirked and gave her another kiss.

Outside the apartment building, Meredith was still sitting in her car watching through the window. Brad's apartment was on the second floor and she could see right into from where she was parked. She saw Brad walk into the kitchen and knew that if she wanted to see what was up she should go now.

She exited her car and walked to the front of the building. She got there as soon as another tenant was leaving so she didn't have to buzz his apartment. 'Couldn't have planned that better myself,' she thought. She went to the elevator and hit the button for the second floor.

When she got to his door she heard children laughing and a woman tell them to calm down a little. She took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

"Liv?"

"Yeah"

"Can you get the door? I wasn't expecting anyone but you guys, so I have no clue who it could be."

"Okay," she gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked to the door. When she opened the door she was face to face with a green eyed, blonde.

"Can I help you?" Olivia asked.

"Is Brad here?" the mysterious woman asked in return.

"Uh yeah, but he's busy. Is there something I can do for you?"

"Yeah, you can get out of Brad's apartment and leave my man alone!"

'Your man? Who do you think you are?' Olivia thought. She stayed silent and stoic in her position in the doorway.

The woman looked at her again, "I said, GET OUT OF HIS APARTMENT!"

By this time Luke, Jake and Elliot had come to see what was going on.

Jake looked at Luke and whispered, "Who is that? And why is she yelling at mom?"

Luke shook his head, "I don't know, but she is really weird."

Jake nodded and went back to watching the interaction at the door.

Elliot came to see who was at the door and froze.

Meredith caught sight of Brad and pushed past Olivia and into the apartment, "Brad! What the hell? I thought you said there was no one else!" She looked around and noticed the boys standing in the doorway to the living room, "And what the hell is your student doing in your apartment? I know you don't have kids and I heard him call you daddy earlier when you thought I was gone. You want to explain that?"

Elliot looked at Meredith, "Meredith, I don't have to explain anything to you. I don't even know why you are here. You asked if we could go out and I told you 'NO.' So what I do in my personal time is none of your business!" he raged.

Olivia looked at the two and then to her two boys, "Jake, Luke, why don't you guys go play in Brad's room? He has a TV in there. Put on some cartoons. We will come get you when dinner is ready."

Jake and Luke nodded and backed out of the room. The three adults stayed silent until they heard the door to Elliot's room close.

Meredith turned back to Elliot and Olivia, "Brad, who is this slut and what is she doing here? Is this why you cancelled yesterday? It took you five years to say yes and then you cancel because 'something came up?' Is this what came up? This bitch and her two bastard kids?"

Olivia opened her mouth to argue, but Elliot cut in, "Don't you dare call her that again. And don't you DARE talk about those kids that way. And to answer your question, yes she is what came up yesterday for me to cancel. I think now that ever agreeing to go out to dinner with you was a mistake. I should have kept waiting!"

Meredith's eyes went wide, "No! I do NOT except that. You are my man and I don't care if this hussy is good in bed or not, you belong to me and that is that!"

With that Olivia broke, "I don't know who you think you are, or why you think he belongs to you, but let me tell you something. You will not talk about my kids the way you did and if you so much as utter another bad thing about me or them, you will be sorry."

Elliot looked on quite proud, "Two things, first: I belong to no one! Second: If you ever come back here uninvited, which will be never, so if you ever come back here at all, I will have Olivia arrest you. So, Meredith, get out of my apartment!" As he said this, he walked over the Olivia and put his arm around her waist.

Meredith scowled when Brad embraced this other woman. She glared at him. All of a sudden she had a mischievous grin on her face, "Well, I could leave, but then I would have to go to the school board and the Principal and tell him how you lied to get your job. For all he knows, you could be a convicted felon and running from the cops. You lied about having kids, I know that at least one of those kids is yours, so I am going to guess the other is too, so what else did you lie about?"

"I lied about nothing to get that job. And, I don't have to justify my actions to you. You know nothing about me, so don't even presume to know. Now, get out of my house! I don't care what you tell anyone, I have explanations for everything, but you don't need to hear them, so once again I say, LEAVE!" Elliot leaned over and gave Olivia a kiss on the cheek. "Hun, can you go get the boys? The food is done, it is just staying warm."

Olivia returned the kiss, but gave him his on the lips, "Sure honey." Olivia turned and left the room.

Elliot turned back to Meredith, "Why haven't you left yet? If you don't leave in the next 10 seconds, then Detective Stabler in there will have no choice but to arrest you for trespassing."

Meredith glared at him, turned toward the door and stomped out.

Elliot turned after he closed and locked the door and saw Olivia and the boys come into the room, "I am so sorry you guys had to see that. I never intended for her to come over here or for her even to believe I somehow owed her dinner. I am so sorry."

Olivia smiled and came up to him, "Its okay honey. Let's eat," she gave him a chaste kiss on the cheek.

Elliot returned the kiss, "Let's eat."

The four sat at the dinner table and talked about their days at school and work. The incident with Meredith all but forgotten.

Olivia sat back and watched as her sons got to know their father better with each passing moment. Olivia thought she would never see this day. She looked forward to what the future was going to bring and just hoped that whatever came up would just bring her family closer together.

That is the end of this story. I hope everyone enjoyed it!! Don't worry, there will be a sequel…just be patient. I'm not sure what it is going to be called yet, but it is coming. It might be a week or so, but don't give up on me.
