1Please review. You guys all rock! So I'm continuing like now! ;)
Elliot and Olivia drove to her apartment to drop off her car, stopped to get ice cream because Olivia said "I'll kill you if you don't pull over the frickin car.", and got to the station around four.
Elliot and Olivia walked off of the elevator and into a squad room. Elliot looked around for his dad, but couldn't find him. He watched Olivia take another bite of her ice cream and chuckled. "Olivia, Elliot!" Joseph said from behind him.
Olivia and Elliot turned around and Olivia gasped. "Joe?" She asked. "Hey Livvie Bear." Joseph smiled. Olivia hugged him. "I have not been called that in years. How've you been?" Olivia beamed.
"Well, good. Elliot here has been staying out of trouble, I'm guessing, thanks to you." Joseph winked. "You bet." Olivia smiled. "Livvie Bear?" Elliot asked. "Yes Livvie Bear. We found out that was her favorite animal when she lived with us. We gave her a stuffed one for her fifth birthday party." Joe smiled.
"I still have it." Olivia smirked. "Well, I'm sorry to tell you Dad, but Liv has gotten into more trouble than me." Elliot said. "Really?" Joe asked smiling. "Yeah, today in PhyEd she spiked the ball and broke Kathy's nose." Elliot smirked.
"It was an accident okay? It bounced off of her hand anyway. That's not my fault." Olivia defended herself. "You're the one who spilled milk on her."
"Only because she was trying to pour it on you." Elliot chuckled. "You two have not changed." Joseph said. "Livvie, Elliot told me about your mother. If you still want to, we can take your statement and take pictures of the injuries she inflicted on you." Joseph said.
"I still want to do it. Just, what exactly will happen?" Olivia asked. "Well, we'll get her arrest warrant. My captain said you'd be staying with us again until the trail date for your own safety. Your mother will have a temporary retraining order against you until anything else is decided in court." Joseph explained.
Olivia took a breath. "Okay, let's get this over with." Olivia sighed. She took another bite of her ice cream and her eyes closed. "So GOOD!" She moaned. "You, Benson, have not changed at all." Joe said leading her to a different room to talk privately.
Elliot sat at his father's desk doing homework until Olivia was down with everything. Elliot could see that Olivia had cried. His dad had his arm around her shoulders whispering stuff in her ear.
Once they got over to him, he took Olivia into his arms and pressed a kiss to her forehead. "Elliot, why don't you take her home? Your mother is probably waiting for you." Joseph said. "What about my car?" Olivia asked.
"I can take it. I got a ride from Mitch." Joe offered. Olivia handed him her keys without hesitation. "Thanks." She smiled and hugged him again. "No problem, Livvie Bear. I'll see ya later." Joe said and kissed her forehead.
Elliot and Olivia were on their way to Elliot's house when Elliot spoke up. "So, you and my dad are pretty close." Elliot said. "Yeah, from what I remember, he was one of the only people that were nice to me. Your father is a really nice guy." Olivia said.
"I guess he is." Elliot said. He had to think about it. His dad and him never saw eye to eye. In fact, there were times where his father actually hurt him. His father was completely different when Olivia was around. Maybe this would be good for the family.
For giving Olivia someone to trust, he'd owe his father forever. He shed light to the darkest part of her life and that was something no one could ever repay. Elliot kissed the back of Olivia's hand that was tangled with his.
"I have a question." Olivia asked. "What's that?" Elliot asked. "Are we dating? Cause, you've kissed me a couple of times today and we've held hands. Normal friends don't do this." Olivia stated. "Well, if you want to, I'd be more than happy." Elliot smiled. "Good, I'd like it too." Olivia smiled.
They reached the house ten minutes later. Elliot opened the door for Olivia and bowed as she got out. Olivia laughed at him and took his hand.
Elliot's mother, Bernie came out in a flash with a huge grin on her face. "Hey Bernie." Olivia said receiving a hug. "Hey sweetie. Look how big you've gotten. I remember when you and Elliot would run around our house. Elliot in his diaper and cowboy boots, and you in a diaper and tutu. You guys would just play like that for hours." She said.
"God! Mom, I don't want you telling her about me like that it's embarrassing." Elliot whined. "El, your mother talked about both of us. Trust me, you're not the only one embarrassed." Olivia said.
"That's what I'm here for. C'mon, I've got dinner on the table and it's getting cold." She said hitting Elliot on his butt. Elliot rolled his eyes as Olivia chuckled into the house. After dinner, Rebecca, Sarah, and Jordan asked Olivia questions about random things. At nine, Elliot finally told everyone 1000 questions was over.
He felt Olivia physically relax. Rebecca and Sarah went up to their room while Jordan was on the computer in the den. Bernie was a the porch painting. Elliot and Olivia sat cuddled up on the couch watching I Love Lucy.
"This is nice." Elliot commented kissing her head. "It is, isn't it. I feel so safe with you here. I like the feeling." Olivia said kissing his chest and burrowing herself farther into his torso. Elliot smiled.
"So, since we're dating now. Don't you think we should go out on an actual date?" Elliot asked. "I guess we probably should." Olivia chuckled. "Have anything in mind?"
"How about dinner and a little bit of a show?" Elliot asked forming a plan in his head. "That sounds nice. What did you want to see?" Olivia asked. "I have something in mind already. You'll just have to wait and see." Elliot said. Olivia smiled.
OLIVIA'S POV
She must have fallen asleep because the next thing she knew she was waking up on Elliot's chest on the couch. She went to sit up but found that Elliot had a death grip on her. She let out a breath and was startled.
"In order to get out of that boy's grip, you need to wake him up. Otherwise, you'll need a crowbar." Joseph said from the doorway of the kitchen. "Thanks." Olivia chuckled.
"Elliot, wake up." Olivia said shaking him a little bit. He just groaned and turned onto his side, bringing Olivia with him. Olivia laughed and thumped his head. Elliot woke up from his slumber. "Hey, there. Sorry to wake you, but you had me in a dead lock." She said getting up.
"Even in my sleep I'm protective. Imagine that." Elliot said. Olivia watched him shake his head trying to get rid of the sleep. Olivia was perfect until she thought of something.
"What happened with my mom?" Olivia asked turning to Joe. "Well, we arrested her. Had to wait until she was sober enough to comprehend what we meant. She didn't confess to anything. She thinks she's off the hook again this time. Well, we have the evidence to lock her up." Joe explained.
"What evidence?" Olivia asked. "Well, your one bruise is a perfect match to your mother's finger. They scratches on your wrist from the other night match her. Also, the piece of glass you told me about has your blood and only her fingerprints. She's not getting away this time." Joseph said.
"Good." Olivia smiled. She felt safe which was so weird to her. "I think I'm going to take my shower."
"Okay, we packed all of your clothes and put them in your room and..." Joe said going into the kitchen and coming out with a big brown soft bear. "...I figured you'd want this." Joe said winking.
"Thanks." Olivia said hugging him. She left the room to go get some clothes for school. When she walked into her room, she noticed that the room was twice the size of her old room and that all her stuff was set up the way she liked it. She smiled. This is what home should feel like. I'm home. She thought.
