Chapter 21

He opened the door to the apartment and entered quietly. Maureen was in the kitchen and turned and gave him half a smile.

"Beer?" she asked him.

"Please sweetheart" he said throwing his jacket over the chairs. He looked at the couch where Dickie was asleep. "Where are Kat and Eli?"

"Yours and Livvy's room, hope you don't mind?"

"No of course not…you sleeping in there as well?"

"Yeah thought you and Dickie could crash out here" Elliot nodded taking his beer from her and downing half the bottle straight off.

"I know this isn't ideal but I didn't fancy going back to the house tonight "he explained to her.

"It's ok we all understand… Dad why do you think she done it, Livvy has never been anything but nice to her and us, god she even saved hers and Eli's life after the crash, why would she try and Kill her"

Elliot saw tears in his daughter's eyes and he went to her taking her in his arms. "I don't know …I wish I did"

"Do you think there is something wrong with her? Like she had a breakdown or something"

"I think it's something that has been coming for a while, she has always been a bit possessive over things. Ever since we got together she always thought I was going to leave her, she would accuse me of affairs all the time and kick me out only to beg me to come home which I did, mainly for you kids. It would be great for a while then it would start all over again" he looked at his daughter and wiped the tears from her face. "Maybe if I had been home more and more of a husband I would have noticed something was wrong, but the more she went on and accused me the more I had to get away"

"Do you think she will go to prison?"

He nodded "Yeah, she will. Cragen called me as I left the hospital, her prints were found around the brake pipe and on the body work of the car, plus she admitted it all in front of everyone so it doesn't look good for her. Maybe once she has been checked out by doctors they will find out there is something wrong her and they could use that to try for a lighter sentence"

"Dad she planned all this and what's worse is how she knew you wouldn't get in the car with Livvy, or one of us. She didn't care who she hurt" Elliot could see anger and hurt in her eyes "As far as I'm concerned she can rot in there, the longer they lock her up the better" Elliot pulled her back to him holding her tight. He wanted to tell her not to be so hard on her after all she was her Mother, but he couldn't he felt exactly the same. The woman Kathy had become was not the woman he married.

Maureen moved away and got another beer out the fridge opened it and took a drink. Elliot raised his eyebrows as he watched her drink half the bottle. "Not a word I need it after tonight" she smiled at him. He raised his hands and picked up his bottle as he sat with his daughter and drank his beer.

"I'm thinking of asking Grandma to come down and help out for a while, just till Liv is better. I thought she could stay with you guys at the house at night whilst I stay here with Liv, just till she is well enough."

"Sounds like a plan, I have been thinking to and I am moving back in with you"

"Maureen no, stay where you are"

"No dad you're gonna need help with Eli when you and Livvy go back to work, if I am in the house it won't matter if you both get called out during the night. Don't worry Kat is helping out as well, we will do this as a family"

Elliot nodded knowing it was no good arguing with her; she was as stubborn as he was.

"You know I was quite surprised when you came home from the hospital so early, I thought the Security would have been called to kick you out"

"I wanted to come home and check on you all"

"Yeah well you have checked, we are fine, so go back to Livvy"

"It's okay they won't let me back in now anyway."

"Dad you're a cop….She is your Partner, I'm sure you will get back in. Go on Go we will be fine, just make sure you bring breakfast back in the morning" she smiled. He stood up and kissed her on the cheek.

"I love you sweetheart" he said grabbing the car keys.

He managed to sweet talk the nurse on the desk at the hospital to allow him back in and quietly entered Olivia's room not wanting to wake her. He closed the door and moved the chair closer to the bed and sat down. He took her hand in his and kissed it gently as his other hand wiped away the strands of hair that had fell over her face. She murmured gently in her sleep.

"I love you so much Liv" he whispered tears falling as he looked at her bruised and battered face "I can't imagine life without you, I need you so much"

"I love you to" she whispered back opening her eyes and smiling at him. "What are you doin back her Stabler I sent you home?"

"I was ordered back by Maureen" he smiled back at her.

"Good" she said "cause I don't like sleeping alone anymore" she shifted carefully across the bed "Get your ass up here" she told him.

"Are you sure I don't want to hurt you" he said standing and looking down at her.

"I'm sure, I'm still sore and aching all over but I need you next to me"

Elliot took off his shoes and climbed on the bed next to her and lay on his side wrapping his arm around her waist, and looked down at her. She reached up and stroked his face.

"You are so beautiful" she told him.

He smiled at her "I think you bumped your head a bit harder than we thought" he laughed as he looked into her eyes.

"No I have always thought that, ever since I met you…..kiss me El"

Elliot lowered his head and captured her lips with his softly pressing them together, then gently biting her bottom lip pulling it between his teeth before kissing her again his mouth parting slightly and he ran his tongue over her lips, he felt Olivia's tongue meet his before he pressed his lips back against hers and kissed her hard, he heard her moan in to his mouth as they kissed passionately but gently.

Jesus thought Olivia to herself as he kissed her. I have just been in an accident had surgery and I'm still being turned on to hell by him and he is only kissing me. She squirmed rubbing her legs together as she felt the throbbing between her legs as his tongue explored her mouth.

Elliot felt her moving against him "are you okay baby, I'm not hurting you am I"

"Huh Huh" she said "I'm fine…don't stop" she begged him.

"Liv I'm scared I will hurt you, baby maybe you should try and sleep"

"Stabler unless you want to end up in a bed next to me then you better carry on" she told him. Elliot saw the lust in her eyes and smirked.

"Liv….. Are you feeling horny" he laughed. Olivia felt her cheeks go red. "Baby you have just been in an accident your body needs to recover"

"Don't tell me what I fucking need" she growled at him "I know what I need ….. And right now I need you"

"But what if I hurt you…."

"If you do I will tell you, but please El I need some release" Elliot looked at the lust and want on her face and knew he couldn't refuse her, Christ he was hard himself but he knew full sex was out of the question.

"Okay" he told her " but Liv you have to promise me you will tell me if it hurts you or you find it hard to breath, you promise".

"Mmmmm I promise…just touch me" she begged him. He stood up and pulled the chair over to the door then pulled the curtain around the bed, just to give them a warning if the door opened and bit more privacy.

He sat on the bed next to her and bent forward kissing her before gently removing her hospital gown.

"Jesus Liv "he gasped and tears stung his eyes as he looked down at her bruised body. She had a huge bruise over her ribs and a bandage over the cut where they repaired the damage to her lungs. He leant over and placed gentle kisses over the bruise his lips only just touching her not wanting to hurt her, before he made his way to her breast taking her nipple in his mouth and sucked and licked her. He moved his and down over her stomach and brushed his fingers over her inner thigh she flinched at his touch as her wet centre throbbed and ached for his touch, as his fingers teased her, and mouth continued his assault on breasts. His hand lightly brushed her mound and she pushed up to meet it.

"Please baby" she panted "just touch me". He looked up at her and smirked.

"You want it bad Huh"

"Hmmm Hmmm"

"You didn't hurt yourself did you?" he asked hearing how she was finding it hard to breath once she started to relax.

"A little but I don't care" she grinned "And we are definitely doin it like that again when I am better" she told him.

"It's a date Baby" he grinned "But now you're going to sleep" he told her helping her to put on her gown again. He got off the bed and removed the chair from the door but left the curtain pulled around the bed and climbed back on beside her and wrapped his arm around her waist.

"Are you sure you're okay?" he asked worried after what he had just done to her she might of hurt herself.

"I won't lie I'm a bit sore but I will be okay I promise you" she told him taking hold of his hand around her waist and linking her fingers with his. She felt him nuzzle into the back of her neck.

"I've been thinking" he said.

"Oh ooh that could be dangerous" she smirked.

"Oh your really funny" he said smiling and kissing her neck. "I was thinking that you should move into the house full time with me and the kids once your better"

Olivia didn't say anything and Elliot picked up there was something wrong "You don't want to move in with us do you?"

"No El I do its just….. That house is yours and Kathy's, you bought everything together, decorated it …I don't know it would just feel weird"

"Well I tell you what" he said moving even closer to her "Why don't we decorate the whole house. Living room, kitchen, bathroom and definitely the bedroom. We will even get new furniture and especially a new bed"

"That sounds better" she said as she played with his fingers "Will the kids be okay with that?"

"Yeah I reckon they will, so as soon as your out of here we will start"

"Okay" she replied, Elliot could hear the sleepiness in her voice as she started to fall asleep "Don't leave me tonight El, stay with me….you know I hate hospitals"

"I will don't worry, just go to sleep I will be here when you wake up" she nodded and drifted off to sleep, it didn't take El much longer to follow her.

Neither of them heard the nurse come in to check on Olivia. She smiled when she seen them on the bed, she knew she should ask him to leave but she couldn't bring herself to do it, so she left the curtain closed around them and closed the door, she would wake them before the end of her shift.

Two days later Olivia was released from hospital, Elliot had spent every night with her, turning up late and being let in by the nurse, who woke them before she left in morning. His mom had come down to stay with the kids in the house and we he mentioned about decorating they were all for it. They had even started to strip the wall paper and get the place ready to decorate; everything seemed to be going well. As planned Olivia and Elliot stayed at her place while she recovered and the kids would all come to visit every day. They found out from Cragen that Kathy was denied bail due to the fact she had pleaded guilty at her arraignment.

A week after being released Elliot and Olivia were cuddled up on the couch watching a film when there was a knock on the door. Elliot unwound himself from Olivia kissed her on the forehead and jumped up to answer it.

"What the hell do you want" he snapped as soon as he opened the door. Olivia spun round to see who it was. Stood in the doorway was a young blond man in a marine uniform, she guessed straight away who it was.

"I got a call from Kathy from prison…..I have come for my son"
