What You Wish For Chpt 6
Hey guys! Thanks so much for your reviews and favourites. It means a lot to me and it really does help motivate me to write. When I hear from people what they like and don't like about the story, or just that they enjoy reading it, it makes me feel like people actually ARE reading it! So I left you on a bit of a cliff hanger (not really) in the last chapter. Who did Liv message? Was it Fin or El? What's she going to do about Elliot's admission? Will she leave Fin? Read and you will see my dear readers. And please, don't forget to review. As to me owning them? What's the time Mr Wolf? Time for some SMUT!
Elliot threw himself into his chair and shoved files out of his way. He was mad. Mad at himself for being such an ass. Mad that he hadn't taken a chance sooner and told Liv how he felt. Mad that he hadn't gone about it differently. Mad that she hadn't replied to his text. But mostly he was just mad.
"You alright?" Munch called from his desk across the room.
"Fine," Elliot growled, not looking up.
"Where's Olivia?"
"She had to go." Elliot rubbed his eyes viciously. He was just so damn mad! He felt his phone vibrate and grabbed it hastily. Hoping it was a text from Liv he flipped it open.
Hey daddy,
Can't make it back from school next week. Will call later.
Love
Maureen xox
Elliot growled again.
Fin gently rapped his knuckles against the hard wood of Liv's door. He'd gotten her text and made a cock and bull excuse to get out of the office. Avoiding Elliot's inquisitive gaze was harder to avoid than Cragen wanting an explanation. Fin was no dummy. He knew something had gone down between Elliot and Liv when they'd gone to lunch. Liv not returning had been a pretty big clue. But Elliot had been moody and confrontational since his return and the whole squad was avoiding him.
Fin was worried. Liv's text wasn't like her. And asking him to go to her apartment in the middle of the day when they should both be at work? It was pretty risky. His mind struggled to find a logical conclusion. Had Stabler hurt her? His fists clenched at the thought. He'd kill the man if he had. The niggling voice in the back of Fin's mind told him that Olivia had probably asked him there to call the whole thing off. He didn't want to entertain that thought. He felt like things had been going great. Sure, it had only been one weekend, but they got along. And god did they have chemistry! He'd spent the whole day trying not to think about how good they'd been in bed. It was a struggle to remain professional at work. Maybe that was what Liv was having trouble with.
He heard her moving towards the door and took a deep breath, bracing himself for whatever was coming. The door swung open and Fin took in Olivia. She was dressed in sweats and a t shirt. He'd never seen her look so casual. She looked gorgeous. But he could see she had been crying.
"What's wrong, baby girl?" He reached out and touched her arm. Liv's big brown eyes found his and Fin couldn't help but pull her to him in a comforting hug. "What happened?" Fin's words brushed against her ear. Olivia's arms tightened around him momentarily before she pulled back. She turned back into the apartment, expecting Fin to follow. He did so, closing the door quietly behind him.
"You want something to drink?"
"Nah, I'm good. You gonna tell me why you called me out of work?" Fin tried to keep his tone light, but he was anxious to get to the bottom of this.
"I'm sorry Fin." Olivia looked at her hands in frustration. Fin sighed. Here it comes.
"Liv," he started.
"Are you serious about this?" Her eyes found his and he saw the panic in them.
"About what, exactly?" Fin wanted to know what they were talking about, before he could help her.
"About helping me to have a baby?" Liv's teary eyes held his gaze, and Fin could see the emotions swirling. He hoped their baby would have her eyes.
"I don't have a single doubt, baby girl."
"Even if we aren't…" Olivia waved a hand between the two of them.
"Aren't what, Liv?" Fin's brow furrowed.
"A couple. I mean, Fin, what we are doing…is this something or is this just us having a baby?"
"What happened Liv? Between you and Stabler?"
"That doesn't have anything to do with this, Fin." Liv averted her gaze quickly and Fin sighed, wishing she wouldn't lie to him.
"I'm in, Liv. You knew that from the start. I told you I wanted to help you have a baby. Anythin' else that might be happenin' between you and me – that's just a bonus."
"But if nothing happens between you and me?"
"Baby girl, I ain't runnin' scared 'cause you and me might not work out. We weren't together before we started tryin' to get you pregnant. I wasn't expectin' anythin' more but like I said, I care about you. I feel like we are on a good thing right now but it ain't nothin' serious. I'm happy to go with it and see what happens." Fin stumbled over his speech, wishing he could be more eloquent. He'd never been too good at expressing his feelings and he felt pretty invested in his feelings for Olivia, making it all the more difficult to tell her.
"So you would accept it if I saw someone else?" Olivia was watching him intently. Fin schooled his features, trying to hide his pain at the mere suggestion of her seeing someone else.
"Are you seeing someone?" He couldn't help but ask. Olivia shook her head.
"No. But if I were to I'd want to know that you weren't going to go after him." Fin couldn't help but chuckle, despite the seriousness of it.
"Ain't my style, baby girl. I told you already; I ain't Stabler." He gave her a small smile before sobering. "But my question is – wouldn't you rather have a baby with the guy you were seein' instead of me?"
Olivia thought about his words for a long moment. Fin felt his hands clenching and unclenching as he waited. His palms were sweating. Finally Liv looked up and spoke.
"I want to have a baby, Fin. And I don't know when, or if, I will ever be in a serious enough relationship with someone to have one. I don't want to wait until it's too late. Like you said, you have something that can help me, and you are willing to do this for me now, when I want it to happen. I've waited too long to be with someone to have a baby. It's time that I make this decision for me. But I don't want you to get hurt. I want you to know that." Her eyes pleaded with him, full of unshed tears. Fin had never seen Olivia cry until now and he wasn't sure how to handle it.
"I knew what I was gettin' myself into, Liv. And I ain't backin' out. You want us to stop, you say the word. You want more, you say the word. I'll take care of me."
Olivia nodded and Fin could see the relief wash over her. He still had no idea what was going on in her mind but it was clear that she had come to some decisions. Fin only hoped that she would let him stick around long enough to show her he could be that guy.
"You want to have another go?" She asked him, finally, with a coquettish smile. Fin raised his eye brows and looked at her in wonder.
"Right now?" he queried, knowing that if she said that second he'd be ready to go. He hated that he could be so easily turned on by her, after such a deep conversation. But he had to remind himself that he was here to give her a baby. That was the whole point of it, after all. Feelings aside, Fin wanted to be the guy that showed her he could be trusted. He wanted to prove to Olivia that he would follow through on his word and he would give her the one thing she wanted most in the world.
"If you aren't in the mood…" Olivia teased, a wicked glint in her eye. Fin growled and pulled her to him, his lips a hairsbreadth from hers. Her body was flush against his and she moaned when she felt his hardness.
"I'm always in the mood for you, baby girl." Fin growled before crashing his lips to hers. His tongue sought hers and drew it into a duel for dominance. Olivia's body writhed against his, rubbing in sensuous circles against his growing erection. Her hands pulled at his shirt as Fin's made short work of her sweats. He took her there, on the sofa, with her legs trembling around him, her lips burning against his. His body shuddered with the pleasure of it, the knowledge that both of them should be at work and yet here they were. But in the back of his mind, despite being buried deep in the hot depths of the most gorgeous woman he knew, Fin couldn't help but wonder if Elliot Stabler was about to get his girl.
Hope you enjoyed! More to come. I know there was a delay. Too much flying around the world will do that to you. But I hope to finish this story this week so the updates SHOULD be coming fast and furious. Leave a review to let me know what you think. Who should Liv choose?
