Chapter 2

The Stabler family arrived at a nice Manatthen apartment. They all exited the car and headed to the door of the building. The doors was open by an older man that reconized Mureen instanly. "Good day Mureen." Mureen smiled as the entered the in the buliding. The kids were in awe of the fancy upper class buliding. They went to the elevator and Eli insisted that he pushed the button to head up. The elevator dinged insistantly, indacating that it had arrived. They got in and Mureen pushed the fifth floor button. The door closed and the elevator began to move toward the the correct floor. The elevator dinged as it reached its destination. The family got off and headed towards Murren's friend's apartment; apartment 5E. When they approched the door, Eli wanted to knock but Mureen pulledd out a key and unlocked the door.

They enetered the apartment, and the first thing they heard was a female voice yell "Ellie! Get your butt right here now!"

A small girl not much shorter then Eli came running out in her diaper giggling.
"When your ready come and get it! Na na na na!" The small girl shouted back and right to Mureen "SAVE ME MO!" Mureeen picked up the little girl and held her tight. When who they assumed had been shouting to the little girl came out wearing tight leggings and a tight purple tank top, she was holding a pair of hot pink leggings. She didn't notice the other people in the room and went straight to Mureen and started tickling the little girl in her arms. The little girl burst out laughing and Mureen put her down.

"Pants. On. Now." The woman said and the little girl agrred.

"Liv," Mureen said trying to get the woman's attention. It worked. "You remember my family." The woman looked up smiling, but it fell when she reconized the people Mureen had brought into her home.

"Olivia," Elliot gasped in bewilderment.

"Mureen, please take Eleanor and your family and go sit in the living room." Olivia handed Ellie to Mureen before ghosting into her room. She closed the door and sunk down on the other side of it and cried. "Why is he here? He hasn't talked to me in five years, why now?" She wispered to herself.

Meanwhile in the living room Eli and Eleanor were playing on the ground with the toys Mureen had brought out. The other kids were talking among themselves and Elliot was wandering around looking at all the pictures she had around the house. Some of Olivia, some with Eleanor, Alex, Casey; the old team. There were two other people he didn't reconize and himself. A picture they took almost six years ago- he rememberd clearlywhy she was smiling so big-they were at a retriment party for some guy they barely knew and they were talking. Earlier that day they had had a hard case-it was difficult for both of them but more so Olivia. Elliot decided to try to lighten up the mood by telling her a cheesey joke that always made her laugh. He didnt know who took this picture, but he had loved it. The small smile that had drifted onto his lips from the memory was sure proof of that.

When almost a half hour had gone by and Olivia still hadn't emerged from the room. Elliot decided to go see if she was okay. He walked up to the door and gently tapped on it. "Liv?" He waited a moment and there was no answer, but he could hear someone crying. He tried the doorknob and it was unlocked; he slowely opend the door to find her in the corner in tears. Without a second thought, he instantly rushed over to her. The fast movement scared her and she let out a loud scream.

The kids heard it in the living room. Murreen had heard that scream before. She instructed her siblings to watch the younger children and rushed to the master bedroom to find a stunned Elliot and a crying Olivia. "Dad, just back away slowly. I'll calm her down." Elliot obliged and slowly took three steps back, not wanting to go any farther and not having a clue to what was going on with his strong, fearless, brave Olivia. Murren slowly approched Olivia and tried to calm her down. "It's okay Olivia, he isn't here. You're at home, he can't hurt you agian." Olivia was calming down a little as Mureen kept whispering encouraging things like "it's okay" and "he's not here". After about five minutes of that Olivia had calmed down enough to actually talk. She was extremely embarssed that Elliot had seen her break down like that; the last time he saw her in a state like that was five years ago.

Elliot approched the girls and slowly knelt down in fornt of Liv and looked directly into her eyes. He told Murreen to leave without taking his eyes of Olivia. Olivia had her kness pulled up to her chest and her head knelt down upon them. Elliot decided that the best course of action would probably be to alert Olivia as to what he was going to do before he did it- the last time he had made a movement she didn't know and it had made her freak out. "Liv, I'm going to lift your face off your knees beacuse I want to see that buetiful face of yours." She nodded and he gently put his hands on bothe cheeks and brought her head up so he could look in to her eyes. He used the pad of his thumbs to wipe away the tears, like he did the last time he seen her cry. "What happend to you Liv? Please tell me."

He wanted to encourge her to talk about what had happend- but instead he got a snide remark from her. "What happened to me? Like you really care. You left Elliot. You just left and never tried to contact me agian. I had to find out from Cragen that you handed in your papers. I called and texted for months, and I didn't even get a reply. Fin, Munch, Cragen, Melinda and Alex had to deal with a cranky pissed of Olivia for weeks. I cried myself to sleep for three weeks, everynight finding a new way to bame myself for losing you, for distroying your family. Beacasue everything that happened to you is my fault- it's always my fault!" She eneded he speech with a few more tears.

Elliot looked at her, flabbergasted and floored that she blamed herself for what happend-he had blamed her for a little while, that much was true- but he had eventualy came to his senses and decided it had not been worth it. "It's not your falut. Kathy's death was an accident, the time I got shot or when Stucky kidnapped me wasn't your fault- it was mine, all mine. All the times you got hurt was my fault too- I didn't have your back." Elliot looked at her and cupped her face like he did so long ago and continued. "I have never lied to you, and I will never lie to you. Yeah, I blammed you for Kathy's death. But I came to my senses and realized that, if anything, it was my falut." He was now crying too, small tears forming and pooling in his deep blue eyes and thretening to spill onto his cheeks. "I couldn't tell you in person becasue I felt so bad for yelling at you that night and blamming you. To be honest, Liv, I thought you would hate me."

"I could never hate you. Even when you pissed me off so much, I could never hate you." She wispered the words ernestly, her voice still horse form crying. She opened her mouth like she was going to say something but closed it agian.

It didn't go unnoticed by Elliot and he said "Liv, what is it? Just tell me."

She looked direltly into his eyes and blurted out "I love you
