AN: Number 11 is my favorite number!! Boo yeah- hope you like the chapter. It's pretty nerve wrecking. And just so you know--- I still hate Dani.
Stop
The soft jabbing movements inside of Olivia's stomach woke her from a lazy peaceful sleep.
She envisioned her daughter's little fingers and toes wiggling on the inside of her tummy and the thought of it made her smile and flutter.
The sun peaked through their naked windows casting rays of light off of the bare walls and the blue sheets that Elliot quietly breathed under.
Olivia blinked her eyes and looked at the mess of boxes surrounding the brand new mattress that she and Elliot crashed on in the middle of their cluttered living room after moving into their first Manhattan condo on 4th and Vine Ave.
Things were starting to come together. They had finally taken the plunge and got a bigger place. After a week of packing and moving they'd decided to crash on the floor in a sweaty pool of exhaustion.
Olivia turned on her side and watched Elliot sleep.
A happy comforting feeling washed over her body as she lay next to him dreaming about the life they were going to make in their new home; the three of them laughing around the dinner table and playing dress up and Barbie dolls.
Elliot's strong hand moved up and down on his chest. She lightly touched it and craved for him to touch her back.
His pointer finger curled up and rubbed the bottom of her thumb. He smiled and she nuzzled her head under his chin.
"Morning, daydreamer," he softly said as he traced the side of her cheek.
She turned her lips to his fingers and nibbled on its' curves.
"How did you sleep," he asked.
"Like a baby."
Elliot lifted himself from the bed and gleamed into her eyes.
The sun's rays brightened their sultry brown pupils and Elliot felt like he could fall into them and never come back.
Their happy smiles turned into light kissing and then into passionate touching.
The nerves on Olivia's body tingled with every movement of Elliot's hand.
He grazed her thigh and ran his hand under her nightshirt and past her soft pink underwear.
Olivia arched her back and squirmed for more as he teased her insides with his thumb and forefinger. She pushed her hips into his hand and he stopped her as he teased the rest of her body with his lips and tongue.
Her perfectly round belly moved under Elliot's kissing and he gently pulled her bottoms from her hips as he continued to watch her face twitch and moan from his foreplay.
He loved watching her melt and twist from his touch. The way she breathed out of time and pulled at his hands to touch her throbbing wet vale of pleasure.
Her eyes pleaded for him to release her and he smiled enjoying the dominance he gained during moments like this.
She pulled his hand between her legs and he leaned down and kissed her fingers.
She started to touch herself and he followed her every move with his tongue.
Olivia gasped at the over-whelming feeling throughout her body.
His forceful kissing threw her into writhing fits.
She rocked underneath of him, building to full gratification.
Elliot couldn't contain himself any longer. He ripped off his jockey shorts and pushed-
BUZZZ
-into her.
BUZZZZZZZZ
Nothing was going to stop him from pumping-
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
and forcing-
BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
"Ahhhhh," he sighed pulling out and running for the buzzer. "Maureen can you give us a minute?"
Maureen's voice came through the intercom. "I'm dropping things. I need you to- Travis, hold Ben-"
"I can't."
"Daddy, let us in."
Olivia threw Elliot his underwear and climbed back into hers.
Elliot pressed the button and rubbed his face repeatedly, trying to forget the erection between his legs. He turned and kissed Olivia as he grumbled past her, naked and angry towards the bathroom.
SCENE
The last day of moving and packing was long and hot. Elliot was not a fan of Travis but he was thankful for the extra hands.
All of Elliot's kids and Travis grabbed the last boxes from the U-Haul truck and headed for the building.
"Can I drive the truck back," Dickie asked before walking away.
"Ah- yeah that's fine, " Elliot said as he swept out the truck and pulled the door down.
The sunset was painting a pinkish fall night in the background and Elliot was so tired that he grabbed the beer from Olivia's hand and downed the whole thing in one gulp.
"Thanks baby."
"No problem. So this is it huh?"
"This is it. Thank god," he sighed grabbing Olivia with his lips and leaving a sweaty mark on her face. "I love you."
"Mmmm, and I love you. Especially in that wife beater."
"Oh, don't even tease me. I've been thinking about you all day."
"Really. Well, lucky for you I got the bedroom set up, so maybe you won't have to think about me too much longer."
Elliot pulled her into his steaming sweaty body and looked at her with his wild eyes. "I could just eat you up-"
"Ahem."
"Dickie." Elliot grabbed the keys from his pocket and threw them at Dickie. "We'll be back in ten, ok baby?"
Olivia took the beer bottle from Elliot's hand and nodded. "Dickie, make sure he doesn't drive."
"Got it, Liv. You making mashed potatoes for dinner?"
"If that's what you want," she grinned.
Dickie pulled the squeaky door open and hollered in her direction. "Yeah, baby, mash them tatters!"
"Drive safely," she waved as she turned for the door.
Elliot and Dickie sat in the U-Haul for a moment while Dickie revved the over-used engine and searched the radio for his favorite station.
"You know how to back this thing up?"
"Yeah, Dad, I'm all over it."
"Just check'n."
Dickie pulled the truck in reverse as Elliot looked at the cars parked behind them in the rearview mirror.
As soon as Dickie started to back the truck up head lights from a car five cars back flickered on and off.
Its engine was running and Elliot could vaguely see the driver inside of it.
He thought about the conversation he had with Allen several days back and immediately fell into a delusion that someone was watching them.
Dickie pulled out of the space and stopped at the red light.
After he turned Elliot kept watch in the rearview mirror as Ludacris' "Runaway" thumped in the background.
Sure enough the red Sedan made the turn and stayed at a distance too far for Elliot's comfort.
He turned the music down and touched Dickie's arm. "Pull over."
"What? Come on, I didn't even do anything yet."
"Dickie, pull over."
"Olivia told me you weren't allowed to drive."
"PULL OVER," Elliot yelled.
Dickie swerved the van to the side of the road and slammed on the breaks. "Why are you always like this?"
Elliot threw his phone at Dickie and opened the door. "Call Munch. Don't get out of the car."
"What? What the hell-"
Elliot was already walking down the sidewalk towards the vehicle before Dickie could comprehend what was happening.
Elliot took glances at the car and pretended he wasn't aware of them.
Another car pulled behind the vehicle and Elliot used the moment to walk in front of the Sedan.
The breaks screeched to a halt and Elliot saw her face.
"Dani, what the fuck are you doing," he yelled.
Dani tried to back up and stopped. She was surrounded by traffic, and the horns behind her started to beep impatiently.
"Pull over," Elliot yelled slamming his hand on the hood.
Dani licked the outside of her lips and opened the window. "Elliot, it's not what you think."
Elliot's brow was creased with anger and astonishment. "It's not? Then what is it? I will have you arrested."
"Just get out of the street and I'll explain."
"You better fucking explain."
Elliot moved to the sidewalk and before he could turn to watch her move the vehicle, the sounds of her tires squealing down the street filled the air.
Elliot ran for the U-Haul. "Dickie, start the truck."
Dickie stuck his head out of the window. "What?"
"Start the truck!"
Elliot opened the door and jumped in while yelling ", floor it!"
"I can't there's traffic."
"Hit them. Follow that car and floor it."
Elliot beeped the horn as Dickie pressed on the gas at full speed. They nicked the guy behind them and headed around the corner.
Dani was ahead of them and Elliot beeped the horn as Dickie weaved in and out of traffic.
"This is awesome!"
"Don't you EVER, do this again, you hear me? Just stay focused and follow that Sedan."
Dickie's eyes were wide with excitement and he nodded ", got it. Why were we being followed?"
"I don't know."
Dani took a turn down a one-way street and crashed right into a stopped bus. She pushed her door open and ran for an alley.
Elliot jumped from the moving U-Haul truck and raced after her. His legs pumped as hard as they could. He gained on her pretty quickly and grabbed her sweatshirt.
" Stop, " he yelled.
She wiped her hand around and smacked him in the face with her police stick.
He let go for a second and groaned as she jumped onto a fence and pulled her self to the top.
He grabbed at her pants and pulled her hair. "Dani, don't make me hurt you."
She fell from the fence and stood in a panic breathing heavily. "Elliot, don't. Wait. Why…I was following you because I as---Elliot, why did you have me attacked?"
"What?"
She swallowed and took in large breaths of air. "I was attacked two nights ago by a man. He told me to stay away from Olivia. I didn't do anything to Olivia!," She screamed. "Stay out of my life!"
Elliot was in shock. He stood in front of her confused and concerned. "Dani, I don't know what you're talking about."
"Yes, you do. He followed me home from work and said he'd slit my throat if I came near her again. When I told him you would never allow that, he told me you were in on it."
"He lied. Dani, I would never…what did he look like?"
"I don't know." Dani watched Elliot's body language and trusted his pained eyes. "So you didn't…"
"No."
"And Olivia wouldn't?"
"Dani, she is still heart broken about the fight you two had. There's no way that she would ever cause any person this kind of pain, especially you. What else did he say?"
Dani started to tear up and she slammed the brick wall with her hand. "Ah, I can't believe this happened. I can't believe."
"Hey, hey, calm down. It's ok. Just tell me what happened."
Dani looked at him with tears falling from her eyes. "He was in my car. I don't know how he got in there. He held a knife to my throat and said that he saw me following Olivia. Elliot, I swear to you I never followed her. I swear to you this was the first time I ever did this to either of you and I only did it because I thought he would show up and I could catch him."
Elliot touched her arm gently ", did he hurt you?"
Dani nodded and turned her face away from his. She wasn't cut or bruised so he assumed that she had been violated in a much worse way. The thought of anyone he knew being harmed in that kind of manner made him ill. He hugged her while she sobbed.
"Elliot, you need to be careful. The whole time he….he said Olivia's name over and over again. He was obsessed with her. When he said that you were in on it I didn't believe him. He just got angry and told me that you weren't the man everybody thought you were. He said that after he finished helping you he was going to take Olivia away. When he was finished he chloroformed me. I woke up in my car the next morning. I'm so sorry I didn't mean to pry into your life. I just didn't know what to believe. You two looked so normal and happy as I watched you and I didn't want to believe it. And then you got so angry when you saw me that I panicked."
"It's ok. Just, next time can you come talk to me? Did you report any of this?"
"No, I was too ashamed. I wanted to find him on my own."
"Dani, you can't do that. You need to report this."
Dickie beeped the horn from the front of the alley and Elliot turned. "Come on, we're taking you home."
SCENE
Olivia, Elizabeth, Travis, Maureen, Kathleen, and Baby Benson talked around the kitchen passing dinner plates and cooking a big meal for the family to enjoy. Olivia clicked the oven buzzer off and looked at her watch.
"Where are they," she said out loud.
Kathleen licked barbeque sauce from her finger. "Who knows, Dickie probably hit something, as usual, and dad's probably ripping him a new one."
"Oh Kathleen, he isn't that bad, " Maureen said as she fed Benson a spoonful of mashed carrots.
Travis wiped Benson's messy face and the baby fussed and garbled from the amount of attention he'd been receiving all day.
Olivia picked up her cell phone to call Elliot and the buzzer rang. "Oh, there they are."
She pressed the door button and unlatched the front door.
Everybody sat down at the table and began to fill up their plates with barbeque chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob.
"This food smells amazing Olivia. You are the best," Elizabeth said as she grabbed a piece of corn. "Oh, Liv, did Dad tell you, I made the school play."
"No, he didn't. Elizabeth that's great! What part did you get," Olivia beamed.
"We're doing 'Attend the Tale of Sweeney Todd', which is like only the best Sondheim musical ever written, like EVER! And I get to play Mrs. Lovett's. At first I was sad because Mrs. Lovett's is old, and I wanted to play Johanna who is the beautiful daughter, but…."
Elizabeth stopped in mid sentence and dropped her fork. She starred blankly at the front door and everyone turned to see what she was so stricken about.
Olivia turned to see a tall masked man holding a gun towards the family.
"Nobody move," said the male figure.
Olivia's heart stopped. Her mind raced trying to remember where Elliot had put his gun. She thought about using the knife on the table, but the guy aimed the gun at her head.
"Olivia, get up."
She slowly stood and blinked trying to recognize the eyes behind the mask. "Do I know you?"
He ignored her question and wrapped his arm around her neck.
He pointed the gun at Olivia's stomach and pulled her towards the door. Panic and fear took over.
Olivia watched Elliot's kids stand in shock. Images of her life flashed by.
The baby was so close to being born. It's tiny heartbeats thumped in Olivia's mind.
The man walked backwards with Olivia in his arms "Anybody makes one move. I mean, it. If I see one face in that window the baby is dead. You got it?"
The five of them sat in silence. "ANSWER ME," yelled the man.
They all nodded. Maureen mumbled a yes and clung to the knife next to her plate.
Before any of them could blink an eye Olivia was gone.
The man pulled her down the steps and into the street where he pushed her into the passenger seat of a car and tied her arms together.
"Don't be scared. Just enjoy the ride," whispered the man's voice.
There was something about the way he smelled. She searched the black mask to figure it out, but it was too dark.
Everything from his hands to his neck to his face was covered in black. He got into the driver's seat and pulled the car into drive.
Olivia looked over her shoulder and watched the window. She only hoped that one of them saw the car and called Elliot.
Once they got past the stoplight her world started to disappear and she scrambled her mind for a way out. Horrific images flashed through her mind and the car lights int eh street blurred into a mesh of color. She closed her eyes and just wanted it all to...
