Chapter 21
"So what is it that you're not sharing with the rest of us?" asked Olivia.
"I already told you. Nothing." Said Elliot.
"And I'm not buying any of it." Said Olivia.
She knew he was up to something, let alone knew something that he wasn't telling her. She hated when he teased her like he was doing right now. It drove her crazy. Any other time, he told her anything and everything. Just like she did with him. It wasn't like either of them, not to share something with the other.
"I never said you had to buy any of it." Cracked Elliot.
"So in other words, I get to marry a smartass, is that?" laughed Olivia.
"Smartass is better than jackass now isn't it?" laughed Elliot.
"You fit both descriptions and you know it..." Said Olivia.
"But you love it and you know it." Said Elliot.
"I never said I didn't." said Olivia.
Not even an hour later, there was knocking at her apartment door. Who was at her apartment? She wasn't expecting anyone else. Or no one that she knew of. She was rather surprised when she opened her front door only to find Maureen, Kathleen and Lizzie on the other side. Automatically assuming that they were there to see their father, she called for him.
"Stabler, you have three visitors." Said Olivia. While she had answered her door, he somehow managed to get up from the couch and disappeared into the backroom.
He answered her back.
"What the hell did I do now?" asked Elliot.
Olivia just smiled.
"Daddy being a smartass again, Livvie?" laughed Lizzie.
Maureen and Kathleen just smiled. Lizzie was never the one to use that kind of language. However, Kathleen, however, was a different story.
"What are you doing now that you can't come out here and see for yourself? Or do I not want to know the answer that?' asked Olivia.
"You probably don't want to know the answer that." Laughed Kathleen.
"Why can't you just tell me who is here?" returned Elliot.
"DAD." Said all three girls in unison.
"Does that answer your question?" laughed Olivia. The minute all three of the girls called for him come out of hiding within a matter of seconds.
"Never knew that Lizzie had a foul mouth just like her older sisters." Smiled Olivia.
"That's because she doesn't." said Elliot.
"Oh really? "said Olivia. The three girls just continued to laugh even more. Lizzie couldn't resist the temptation anymore and repeated what she had said earlier.
"All I said was, 'Daddy being a smartass again, Livvie'? smiled Lizzie. Maureen and Kathleen were the two notorious for the foul language and on occasions, Dickie as well. But never had Lizzie used such words. Nor had he ever heard them come from her. This was a first. And sure wouldn't be the last time either.
"What are the three of you doing here to begin with? Not that your not welcomed." Asked Elliot.
"Don't worry, dad. We're not here for you." Smiled Kathleen. And they weren't. They had actually come to 'kidnap' Olivia to go dress shopping. Whether or not she liked it.
The four women just laughed. He walked right into that one on his own.
"If your not here for the old man then what or who you are exactly here for?" asked Olivia.
"Ha. See. We're not the only ones that you call you, 'old man'." Laughed Maureen.
"She talks after all. Who would have guessed it." Cracked Kathleen.
Maureen shot Kathleen a dirty look that said it all. Had she answered her sister back then they would be both getting chewed out.
"I can only give you one guess." Smiled Elliot.
"Thank you, Captain Obvious. Why is it that when anyone comes to visit, you shift into smartass mode?' laughed Olivia.
"Because it's fun. I'm not the one getting 'kidnapped' now am I?" answered Elliot.
"No but something tells me your credit card is." Corrected Olivia.
"There's no way in hell I'm giving it to any of them. It won't be heard and seen from again." Said Elliot.
"Yeah it will." Replied Lizzie.
"Just after the bill statement comes." Laughed Maureen.
"It's still not going to happen anytime soon. I don't even want to know what the three of you have planned up those sleeves of yours." Said Elliot.
"No but you probably have an idea of what we do have planned. Wait, till Dickie gets a hold of you. Then it will be even." Laughed Lizzie.
That would even out the score. Might be as entertaining though. But still.
"I don't even think I want to know what your brother is plotting." Said Olivia.
"I thought we were going shopping? Not standing around and yakking?" said Lizzie.
"Someone is a little excited. Eager aren't we?" replied Maureen.
"Can we get going already?" said Kathleen.
