"Olivia do you remember Victoria?" Elliot asked standing his ground.
"Yes" Olivia said extending her arm.
"Eli, I'd like you to meet my friend, her name is Victoria, you can call her aunt Vicky" Elliot said stooping and holding onto his son's little fingers.
"Is she my aunt?" Eli asked looking at his father then at the woman standing beside her.
"Well, no but you can't just call her Vicki it isn't polite." Elliot said. Not really knowing how to put it so he would understand.
"Why not? I call Maureenm Maureen" he asked challenging his father. Elliot looked up to Olivia for help.
But she didn't get that far. Victoria stooped beside Eli and started to explian.
"Ok, you see how you call Olivia mommy and she isn't your mommy?" Victoria asked pausing so his little brain would wrap around the information.
Olivia felt those words like a slap and she looked at Elliot. Eli tugged his hands from his grasp and ran to Olivia.
"Mommy, mommy I want to go home! Make her go away." he cried looking at Olivia who always made his little world safe.
"Baby," she said lifting him to her lap. "You know how you call Uncle Munch and I call him John?" she asked wiping away the tears that were brimming in his little eyes. he nodded his little head and she continued "That's because Uncle ohn is a lot older, and it is rude for little boys to call grown up by there first just like that" she said tickling his tummy and getting a laugh from him.
"Okay" he said crawling out of Olivia's lap to stand before Victoria and Elliot. "Daddy can we go home now?" he asked tugging his father's finger and for the first Olivia noticed he wasn't wearing his ring.
"Yes but Victoria will be staying with us, she came to bring us good luck" Elliot said.
Those words slapped Olivia across the face and tore her heart, what am I doing here she wondered as they got into the car and drove to the hotel.

Eli was unusally quiet at dinner and so was Olivia, something seem wrong somehow. She was trying to be happy for Elliot's new found love but how could she when she has loved him all her life. The conversation going on she didn't even her absorbed in her thoughts. "Um Olivia," she heard Victoria say.
"Yes" Olivia responded getting out of her daze and staring at the smiling couple before her.
"I was just saying that since, El and I are a couple now and I'll be spending more time with the family, you could o back to work full time" she said smiling as if she thought she deserved some sort of prize. But Olivia was shocked, she had only began working part time so that Maureen could go to college and the others to school with worrying about Eli, she loved her job but she loved spending time with Elliot's children more!
"Wow! That's a great idea Liv" Elliot said blindily as he brought Victoria's hand to his lips.
"Um I don't know what to say" Olivia replied with all honesty. She turned for a second and looked at Eli whose eyes were red from crying and a little puffy, but those eyes spoke volumes and he didn't want her to go.
"Well think about it" Victoria said and ran her hand through Eli hair only to have him scowl at her and retreat to Olivia side.
"Mommy can I go to bed" Eli asked holding looking.
"El-"
"Olivia!" she heard Elliot's voice cut through the now silent room.
"Yes"
"Living-room!" he said pointing towards the suite she shared with Eli while getting up from the table he held her arm and brought her to the room.
"what the hell is going on with that boy?" he demanded and for a moment she didn't recognize him
"I-I don't know" she replied sitting down.
"You are the one who always knows what the matter with them, I don't know they all seem to be turning their back on me" he said his voice calmer and she took the chance and gave him a hug. "I don't know Liv, but I don't think they like her." Elliot confessed "They look at me like I've betrayed them but Liv she amkes me feel" he said and it sounded like a husky sob and she wanted to cry for him.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Olivia asked him as they both sat down.
"I wanted to surprise you, I know that I had be pinning over Kathy for so long I just wanted to surprise you with the progress I had." he smiled and his face looked like a boy again.
"Well I am surprised, I guess Eli is just as surprised, he's not used to having a woman hang on to his daddy like that" she said with a smile.
"That's not true, he's see you and I hug and 'hang on to each other" he teased, but as he did the mood changed and Olivia got up putting distance between them.
"Liv what's wrong?" he asked going up behind her.
"Nothing," she lied turning around to face him and regretting the movement as she did. With her lps only mere inches away it would be so easy to taste him.
"What would I do without you?" he asked kissing her fore-head.
"You can't do anything with out me!" she said moving away his piecing gaze.
"So will you be my bestman-woman?"
