"What happened to my wife?"

Elliot looked up at Olivia before he turned to Richard. He was hugging Nathaniel close to his body, the boy's head finding comfort in the crook of his neck. "Mr. McBrien, your wife was raped."

Richard's eyes widened as he processed the information Elliot had given him. "I...I need to see my wife." He looked up at Olivia, his eyes pleading. "Please, I need to see my wife."

Olivia looked over at her partner, watching as he nodded once, before she turned to face their victim's husband. "Right this way," she said, leading him down the hall to Melissa's room. They entered the room and Richard rushed up to his wife's unconcious body.

"Melissa?" he said softly, gently caressing the side of her face. When his wife didn't respond, he looked up at Elliot, fear in his eyes. "Why isn't she waking up?"

"The nurses had to give her a sedative when she arrived. She'll wake up soon. Mr. McBrien, can we speak to you for a moment?"

Richard looked up at Elliot, before nodding. He gently placed Nathaniel on the chair next his wife's bed, whispering that he would be back soon, before following the two detectives to the corner of the room. Elliot watched as Olivia pulled out a small notepad and smiled to himself. She was eager, ready to get details, and serious about the job; he liked that. "Mr. McBrien, when did you last see your wife?"

Richard looked over his shoulder at his wife and son, and took a deep breath. "Uh, this morning, before I went to work." He wiped his face, before he turned to look at Nathaniel once more. Elliot could tell the man was jumpy, after all, he had just learned that his wife had been raped, but he needed him to calm down.

"I know you're a little jumpy and anxious, but you're going to need to calm down," Elliot said, placing a hand on Richard's shoulder. Richard nodded, took a deep breath, and looked back up at the detectives. Once Elliot was sure he was going to be okay, he took a step back, standing next to his partner. "Did your wife ever mention any problems she might have had with her boss?"

Richard looked up at Elliot and furrowed his eyebrows. "Was he the one who did this?" Richard let out a harsh breath, his hands clenching into a fist. He tried to turn towards the door, but Elliot quickly stopped him. Having worked at SVU for over five years, he had seen that look multiple times; the look an angry boyfriend or husband gave, letting everyone know they were going to kill the person responsible for hurting their loved one.

Elliot quickly grabbed his arm, forcing him to look up at the detective. "I understand you're angry, but your wife needs you right now. Don't do anything stupid."

Richard looked up at Elliot and nodded, before pulling his arm out of his grasp. Olivia looked inbetween the two men, her eyes focusing on her partner. She had heard he was a hot head and it seemed like most of the people in the squadroom seemed to want to stay away from his temper, but she didn't scare easily. She knew how to handle someone with a temper, she'd done it before. She wanted to reach out for Elliot's arm, tell him to settle down before he started to yell at their victim's husband, but she didn't know what boundries he had on their partnership, so she settled for speaking up and breaking the tension. "He's a person of interest. And I'm guessing from your reaction, you know him, and this isn't the first time you've had problems with him."

Richard looked at Olivia and sighed. "Haiden Burton was my roommate when I went to Hudson. When Melissa and I first started dating, he would always harass her. When we graduated and got married, I thought we were rid of him, until Melissa came home complaining of her new boss."

Olivia continued to write the details in her notepad, before looking back up at Richard. "Did she ever tell you that Mr. Burton harassed her at work?"

Richard nodded. "She told me he would flirt with her, once he cornered her in her office."

Elliot looked at Richard and tilted his head. "What did she do?"

"She blew it off. I begged her to quit, but Melissa loves her job and we need the money." Richard looked at the floor and wiped his face with his hands. "I knew I should've reported him."

Olivia looked over at Elliot who sighed. She quickly put her notepad away, before offering Mr. McBrien a smile. "Thank you, we'll contact you if we need anything else."

Elliot handed the man one of his business cards and smiled. "Call if you remember anything else." Richard nodded, mumbled a quick thank you, and rushed over to his son, wrapping his arms around the boy. Elliot walked out of the room, meeting Olivia in the hallway. He looked up at her, smiling when he saw her looking over her notes. He didn't know why he felt happier around his new partner, something he wasn't sure was a good thing.

Olivia looked up from her notes, only to see her new partner staring at her. She looked at him, her eyes widening slightly, before she turned around to see if there was someone behind her. "You okay Stabler?"

Elliot quickly snapped out of his thoughts. "Yeah, I'm fine."


The ride back to the precinct was quiet, yet comfortable. The entire time Olivia was wondering how her son was adjusting to school, while Elliot was thinking about how beautiful his partner was when the sun hit her face just right.

Olivia sat in her new desk, fixing a few of the things on it, before she looked up, smiling when she saw her partner staring at her. "See something you like Stabler?" she asked with a smirk, knowing she had caught him looking when he thought she was otherwise busy.

Elliot, embarrassed he had been caught, quickly looked away. "So, you have a son?" Olivia looked up from her computer and nodded, remembering he had overheard her small conversation with Nathaniel.

Elliot sat there, waiting for Olivia to continue. When she didn't say anything else, he just stared at her, hoping she would break down. Unable to stand his gaze any longer, Olivia pulled out a picture of her and Alex, taken on his six birthday, from her purse. "His name is Alexander, and he's six. He's in first grade." She handed the picture to Elliot, who took the picture and gazed at it, smiling when he saw his partner and her son laughing and having a good time.

He loved how Olivia's son had her big brown eyes, as well as her dark hair. However, it only made him wonder about the boy's father. "Cute kid, you and your husband must be very proud."

Olivia let out a small smile, knowing what Elliot was trying to do. He was her partner, so he was bound to know she wasn't married. This was his way of figuring out if she was involved with anyone. "His father's not in the picture," she said, getting the picture from Elliot and placing it on her desk. "And before you ask, no I'm not involved with anyone at the moment."

Elliot let out a laugh. "Am I really that predictable?"

Olivia shrugged. "I'm a smart girl Stabler, you'd be surprised." She gave him a wink, before turning back to her computer. "So, what about you? Wife? Kids?"

Elliot pulled out his wallet, flipped it to a picture, and handed it to Olivia. Normally he wouldn't share his personal life with his colleagues, but Olivia was different. She was his partner, and he knew she would be here for a while. "No wife, no girlfriend, one daughter. Samantha, six years old."

Olivia looked at the picture of Elliot holding his daughter, the two of them laughing at each other. "She's beautiful," Olivia said, handing the wallet back. Elliot let out a quick thanks, before grabbing his wallet and slipping it back into his pocket. "So, her mother-?"

"Got married, had other kids. I have custody of Sam."

Olivia smiled. She was always a sucker for a man who had a soft spot for children, but to know that her partner, her incredibly attractive and single partner, had custody of his daughter made her heart speed up. "So, what about Alexander's father?" Olivia looked at Elliot, unsure of how to answer that. Sure, he was her partner, and he probably deserved the truth, but she had just met him. She didn't want him to know her dangerous past. Luckily for her, Elliot's phone began to ring, saving her from answering the question. "Stabler," he answered, listening to the person on the other end. "Alright, thanks we'll be right there." With that he hung up and looked over at Olivia. "That was the hospital. Our victim's awake."

Olivia stood from her chair, as did Elliot. The two quickly walked out of the squadroom and into the elevator, ready to make their way to the hospital to talk to their victim, and hopefully get some more answers.


Soooo, tell me what you think :)
