Authors Note: Thank you all for the reviews, Once again I do not own these characters and I hope you all enjoy this chapter!
"Didn't seem like it was nothing important." Amanda stated as she looked at Olivia while she fixed her coffee up to her liking before she asked the question "You dated Alex Cabot? But more importantly why didn't you tell me?"
Olivia stood frozen in place, she had no idea how to answer her girlfriend, she knew it wasn't right to keep the fact that she dated Alex Cabot from her, but she did anyway. And now here she was confronting her about it and she had no idea how to answer her. "It was a long time ago, it was just a fling. Did CSU find anything?" Olivia asked wanting to change the subject as fast as she could.
Amanda rolled her eyes at how fast Olivia was to change the subject. "Yes they did, but that didn't answer my question Liv, why didn't you tell me?" Amanda asked again.
Olivia placed her cup of coffee on the counter and turned around and wrapped her arms around her blonde girlfriend's waist. "It was just a fling, what did CSU find?" Olivia asked desperately wanting to know.
"They found camera's Liv, everywhere, in all the rooms." Amanda told her holding back tears, and Olivia could sense that and she pulled her close and held her tightly.
"It is okay baby, we will catch him" Olivia whispered softly against Amanda's hair.
The two women stayed like that for a bit longer before Amanda pulled back and looked Liv in the eyes and asked "How long did this fling last between you and Alex?"
Olivia took in a deep breath before she answered her and she knew she had to be honest because she knew if she lied and Amanda asked Alex she wouldn't say the same thing. "Three years, it started shortly after she arrived in SVU and lasted until she went into witness protection, then we lost contact obviously and then she came back for a night and we spent the night together, and then she left again. Then when she came back we got back together, and then we started to fight and that was the end." Olivia rambled on without even taking a breath and she felt Amanda pull away from her.
"ALL THOSE YEARS AND YOU DIDN'T FUCKING TELL ME!?" Amanda yelled completely hurt. "LIV that isn't a fucking fling that is a god damn relationship." Amanda added getting angry that her girlfriend lied to her and it shouldn't matter but for some reason it did.
"Amanda, it meant nothing I told you." Olivia tried to reason with her but Amanda wouldn't stand for it.
"That is why you told her you would protect her right, because it meant nothing?" Amanda snapped at her. "Oh and should I add the fact that Alex said you couldn't even admit to you two being together, again not a fling but a god damn relationship." Amanda yelled at the brunette detective just before Cragen came rushing into the break room.
"What is going on?" He shouted at both women.
"Nothing, I am leaving." Amanda snapped at him and stormed out of the break room and then the squad room.
Cragen and Olivia both stood there as the blonde detective left before Cragen said "Olivia my office now." Olivia followed him into his office and he told her to shut the door and she did.
"I don't know what was happening with you and Amanda and I don't want to know. I get this case is stressful, but the whole squad room could hear you. I am telling you this once, personal issues stay at home they do not come to work. Do you understand?" Cragen asked her and Olivia nodded her head.
"Can I ask you something?" Olivia asked him and he nodded his head. "If someone you were dating didn't tell you about a previous relationship would you be upset?"
"It's hard to say Liv, did this person mean something?" Cragen asked
Olivia swallowed the lump in her throat before she answered "At the time this person did, and maybe still does."
"Then yes I would be angry, because I would worry that the person I was seeing would leave me for this other person since they hid it from me. Love is love Liv, and as much as we try to help it we can't stop falling in love with the person we fall in love with. Even once a relationship ends we will always care for them, because they were a part of our lives for so long." Cragen explained.
"Even if this person loves the person they are with now, and hasn't been with this other person in years?" Olivia asked
"Olivia what is going on?" Cragen asked in that fatherly tone, Olivia has grown accustomed to.
"Amanda found out I dated Alex." Olivia came right out and told him and Cragen's mouth dropped.
"Alex as in Alex Cabot?" He asked in shock.
"Unless there is another" Olivia smirked before she added "But yes Alex Cabot." She told him looking down at her feet.
"Wow Liv, I am just finding out a whole new set of things about you." He told her with a chuckle. "When did this happen, when were you two together?" Cragen asked
"Shortly after she arrived at SVU till she went into witness protection, then a little bit after she returned." Olivia told him, "But I didn't tell Amanda." Olivia added
"That is why you two were fighting, Liv why didn't you tell Amanda." Cragen asked
"I don't know it just never came up." Olivia told him softly.
"I am going to ask you a question, and I want you to be very honest with me." Cragen told her and Olivia nodded her head in agreement. "Did you love Alex?" Cragen asked and Olivia nodded her head. "Okay one more, do you still love her?" Cragen asked
Olivia stayed quiet for a bit before she finally answered "Yes, but I love Amanda with all my heart."
"Then you need to be honest with her." Cragen told her and Olivia nodded.
Rafael Barba walked into the empty house that was in the middle of nowhere, madder than all hell. "That bitch she stole my fucking case" He yelled as he walked into the kitchen and grabbed a beer.
"What happened?" Lewis asked the raging man before him.
"That bitch Alex Cabot came backā¦." Barba began to explain but was cut off.
"Alex came back?" Brian asked in shock.
"Yes she did, and she thinks she can just come back and act like she is in charge once again. Well she can't" Barba explained
"Then why the hell are you here now, if you aren't going to back down to her?" Brian asked
"Because she would have fired me" Barba explained and Lewis busted out laughing.
"Man you got your ass handed to you by her, just admit it." Lewis said between laughing.
"Whatever, well now I can't help you because I have no access to the case now. So you are on your own." Barba explained to Lewis who was still laughing.
"That's okay because guess what I have Brian here. And he will get the info I need, and then when the time comes, I have my backup plan and I know it will work because he will not let anything happen to his children, so he will do what I say." Lewis explained to the man trying to control his laughter but every time he looked at Barba he just lost it all over again.
"Yeah and who's that?" Brian and Barba asked at the same time.
"Elliot Stabler." Lewis told them both with an evil smile.
