A month later…
Olivia and Elliot's relationship had progressed and they couldn't be any happier. Kathy and Elliot's children found out about their relationship. The children were surprisingly accepting of their relationship and so was Kathy. Though, Elliot and Kathy ended on bad terms, she didn't want to ruin their relationship even more.
Olivia was sitting on the couch watching TV, while waiting for Elliot to get home. Elliot took his children out to dinner and the movies. He invited her to come, but she wanted him to spend time with his children and she didn't want to impose.
Her phone started ringing. She picked it up and looked at the caller ID only to see a number that she didn't recognize.
"Hello?" she answered.
"Olivia, it's Kathy."
"Oh, Kathy. Elliot's not here yet." She assumed Kathy wanted to talk to Elliot.
"I know; I didn't call for him. I called to talk to you actually. Listen I know we haven't gotten along in the past, but now that you're dating Elliot I thought we could get to know each other. My kids really love you and obviously Elliot does too. I don't want there to be any tension between us because I know one day you'll be a part of this family and you don't deserve that. Maybe we could meet up for lunch tomorrow, if you want."
"That's really sweet of you Kathy. I agree that we shouldn't have this tension between us. I really love Elliot and your children too. I would love to do lunch tomorrow. What time were you thinking?"
"Around twelve, does that work for you?"
"Twelve sounds perfect. I guess I'll see you then."
"Ok I'll see you there. Bye."
"Bye Kathy." Olivia hung up with a smile on her face. She and Kathy always had this awkward tension between them every time they were around each other. Olivia knew that Kathy was a good person and this was a good thing for everyone.
Elliot walked through her door half an hour later. He walked to the couch and leaned in to kiss her. "Hey babe."
"Hey, how was it?" Olivia asked.
"It was fun, but I really wish you came with us."
"I just think that you should spend time with your children alone. They miss you."
"Well I missed you." He leaned in for another kiss.
She pulled back. "Guess who called me tonight?"
"Who?"
"Kathy. We talked about some stuff and we're going to lunch tomorrow."
"What kind of stuff?" he asked.
"We both agreed to get along better."
He smiled. "Good."
"So you don't mind if I go to lunch with her tomorrow?"
"No, why would I?"
"Because she's your ex-wife."
"As long as everyone's happy, then I'm happy."
She smiled and kissed him. "I love you."
"I love you too."
Olivia walked into the restaurant and walked straight to the table Kathy was sitting on.
"Hey Kathy."
"Olivia, sit down. It's good to see you again."
"Yeah, it's good to see you too."
"So how was work?"
"Work was work, nothing too fun." They both laughed.
"How are the children?" Olivia asked.
"They are doing great. They've been asking about you; they want to spend some time with you soon."
"I'd love that. I really miss them."
"They miss you too. We should all go to dinner sometime, they'd really like that."
"That sounds like a good idea. Just tell me when and Elliot and I will clear our schedules."
Kathy nodded and smiled. "Well I don't know about you, but I'm starving."
"Me too, all I had was a lousy cup of coffee this morning," Olivia said as she scanned the menu.
They both placed there orders and their food came right away.
They had a great lunch. It wasn't awkward at all and they realized that they had a lot in common.
They paid the bill and walked to their cars.
"Thanks for lunch, Kathy. I had a great time."
"I did too. Hopefully, we can do this more often."
"I'm looking forward to it. Well I should get going, but it was good seeing you again," Olivia said.
Kathy went over to her and gave her a quick hug. "Thanks for coming and I'll see you soon."
They both went in their cars and drove home.
Olivia walked into her apartment and saw Elliot sitting on her couch.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" she asked as she leaned down and kissed him.
"Cragen let me leave since we had no cases. I got bored at home so I just came here and decided to wait for you. So how was lunch?"
She sat down next to him. "It was fun. We're planning on all of us going to dinner; Kathy, the children, you, and I."
"So you two are friends now?"
"I guess you could say that."
"So we're going to be one big happy family?" he asked, smiling.
She laughed. "Yes we are."
"Well I'm glad. I love you." He kissed her.
"Mm, I love you too."
The End!
Let me know what you all think :)
