Chapter 13
Olivia had been asleep for not even 2 hours before she heard knocking on her door. She quickly got out and walked over to her dresser and took out her pistol she checked in on James and walked down stairs to the front door.
She took off the safety and unlocked the door pointing the gun at the door before pulling it open. She sighed when she saw that it was Elliot standing there soaking wet with a large bouquet of flowers in his hand, staring blank at the gun.
"Don't do that." She said then walked away from the door letting him know he could come in.
"Sorry, didn't think you would try to kill me." He said then came in locking the door behind him.
She put the safely back on her gun and set it down in a draw in her living room. Then turning around and went back over to the door where Elliot still stood. "What are you doing here?" She asked tired and a bit irritated.
He moved the flowers towards her with a small smile. She slowly took them from her and smiled a bit. He breathed out. "I came to say sorry, and that I didn't mean anything I said." He said ashamed of the way he acted.
"It's ok." She smiled that noticed he was soaked. "Why are you so wet?" She asked.
He smiled. "Well, I got the flowers then came here and it started to rain, did you know you are a hard sleeper? I was out there knocking for about an hour." He said laughing.
She smiled. "I'm sorry, why didn't you just go home and come back in the morning?" She said.
He looked at her intently. "Because, I am sorry, I would have sat out there all night if I had too. I love you. I'm sorry I acted like an ass." He said looking down.
"It's fine. Come on lets get you out of those wet clothes." She smiled and headed to her room.
Elliot got nervous and looked around then followed. When they got to her bedroom, he looked around and slowly came in.
Olivia smiled at his nervousness and went into her closet getting out a pair of guy shorts and a big t-shirt she had. She gave it too him. "The bathroom is right there." She said then headed out of the room.
After about 20 minutes Peter went downstairs to find Olivia sitting on the couch watching T.V.
"So, I don't want to intrude or anything." He said looking at her.
She looked up and smiled at him. "Come sit with me." She said and patted the seat next to her.
He walked over and sat down, when she moved over and placed her head on his shoulder he smiled. "I could get use to this." He said.
She started laughing. "So could I, by the way, why do you still have your pants on?" She asked looking up at him.
"Ummm, I just feel more conforable with them, besides they really arnt that wet." He said.
After about an hour she had fallen asleep. Peter noticed she was sleep and looked at the clock it was now 3 am. So he picked her up and carried to her bed and placed her in it. He headed out the door and then heard some noise coming from downstairs.
He quietly walked down stairs and went through the kitchen to the backdoor, and opened it, to find nothing. He sighed and closed the door going back to the living room.
He was about to leave when he heard some noise from upstairs. He quickly ran up the stairs and looked around then he heard some noise coming from James room, he ran over there and opened the door to see someone coming in through the window.
"Hey!" Elliot said then ran over grabbing the person and slamming them on the ground. Pulling a pair of handcuffs from his back pocket and cuffing the person.
"What they hell are you doing?" The person yelled. Elliot pulled them up and took them downstairs to the living room and sat them on the floor cuffing their feet as Elliot went back upstairs to get Olivia.
After they came back downstairs Elliot sat on the couch and Olivia walked over to the person and pulled the ski mask off of their head to reveal Terry.
"What the fuck Terry!" She yelled at him. Smacking him across the face.
"Don't hit me again woman." He said, and then she smacked him again.
"Alright that's enough." Elliot said grabbing her hand before she could hit Terrt again.
"Why are you breaking into her house?" Elliot asked Terry.
"Look I told her this shit wasn't over and its not, I want James." He said with a small smile.
"You can't have him he doesn't belong to you ass." She spat at him still upset.
"Don't worry one day he will be mine, now let me go bitch!" He said to Elliot who smiled lightly.
"I'm sorry but you're under arrest for trespassing, breaking and entering, and attempted kidnapping." Elliot said then showed him a badge.
"You're a fucking cop! Oh this is just fucking GREAT!" Terry said aloud and lay down.
The police later showed up and took Terry away, after everyone left Olivia went upstairs to see that James slept through everything. It was now 6 am and she was left with Elliot.
"Why didn't you tell me you were a cop?" She asked not looking at him.
"I couldn't, I was working on a case and I was trying to get Terry on fraud. So I couldn't tell you with the risk of you telling him." He explained to her.
"Hmmm ok. Well, now what?" She asked.
"Terry is going to jail for a long time, since I now have enough evidence to prove fraud and now he has other charges along with it." He breathed out.
"Gosh, it has been a LONG night." She said and leaned against a wall.
Elliot walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist, bringing her close to him. She willingly accepted his hug and breathed in his scent. She enjoyed this feeling of acceptance and love. She knew she loved him, she knew she wanted to be with him, but she couldn't really bring herself to be with him. She was afraid he would hurt her again.
Elliot could feel that she was uneasy and so he wanted to talk to her and make sure she knows that he wants to be with her no matter what she thinks or says he is going to be there for her.
"Come here, let me talk to you." Elliot said guiding Olivia into her bedroom.
When they got into the room she sat down on the bed and he pulled up a chair in front of her. "I love you; I want you to know that I do and that I am willing to do anything to be with you." He breathed out rather quickly.
She looked at him for a minute and sighed. "Look, I love you too, but I don't know about being with you. I don't want you to hurt me again." She said without looking at him.
Elliot sat back and stared at her. "I wont, I would never want to hurt you again. I was young and stupid, I'm sorry. I love you, will you be with me?" He asked her sincerely.
She sighed and looked at him. "Please, please don't hurt me again, or hurt James. I love you, but I love him more. Can you promise me that you won't hurt us?" She asked seriously.
He smiled. "Of course I can promise that, I love you, and I know I will love James." He said and moved in and kissed her lightly on the lips.
She smiled. "Thank you, and. I love you." She said and kissed him again.
Elliot sighed and stood up walking out of the room and downstairs. "Follow." He yelled up the stairs.
She quickly came down to find him outside at his car. She went out and stood in front of him confused as to what he was doing.
He smiled at her. "Remember this." He said then going into his car and turned on a song in his car. It played "Fall for you"
She smiled widely and nodded her head slowly. "It's the song we danced to on prom night."
He nodded. "And the night we made our son too. I love you, that night I fell for you, over and over again. And I want to continue to fall for you, until death do us part." He lightly grabbed her hand and got down on one knee.
She gasped a little and smiled. "What are you-?
He cut her off. "Olivia will you let me continue to fall for you over again for the rest of our life? And be my wife?" As he said that he pulled a ring out of his pocket and showed it too her.
She smiled and nodded her head as tears fell from her eyes. "Yes I will be your wife." She said as he put the ring on her finger and stood up.
They shared a deep kiss, and smiled. They went inside the house hand in hand to find James coming down the stares sleepily.
"Come here baby." She said and picked him up cradled him.
Elliot reached out and took him. "James." He said softly.
James put his head up and his opened and he smiled. "Huh?" He asked.
"Baby, Elliot is your daddy." Olivia said slowly so that he can understand.
James nodded his head and wrapped his arms around Elliot's neck. Elliot smiled at Olivia and kissed her on the lips. "I love you." He said smiling.
