Please review! I love you guys! I am home for the next two hours because it snowed here...again. It's almost May and we have snow everywhere!
After dropping the boys off at his mother's, Olivia and Elliot went down to the courthouse with Summer. Elliot carried Summer in while holding Olivia's hand. Sonya met them. "Are you guys ready for this?"
"What do you think?" Elliot snapped. He held his daughter tighter when she wrapped her arms around his neck. He kissed her head and looked at Olivia. "Fin said that gang was coming. I'm going to go try and find them."
"Okay." Olivia breathed. She kissed Summer's head before pecking Elliot on the lips. "I'll see you in a little bit." She watched as Elliot walked off to find everyone.
"The gang?" Sonya asked.
Olivia looked at Sonya. "Yeah, it's a bunch of our friends from high school that we still hang out with. We are all pretty close." She paused. "Is Mike going to be in the courtroom when my daughter testifies?"
"He'll be out for her testimony, but he has the right to be there for everything else and...that's what he wants." Sonya sighed. She looked behind her quickly before turning back to Olivia. "How is Summer doing?"
"She's a three year old that has to testify against the man that abused her. How do you think she's doing?" Olivia asked feeling the lump form in her throat already. Today was going to be hard on everyone. "Elliot and I are testifing, aren't we?"
"Yeah, I didn't want you to be forced to testify for the defense so I got you for the people." Sonya said.
"Why would the defense want us?" Olivia asked. "Summer is our daughter. We didn't want this to happen."
"Yeah, but they are going to pull the parent card out on this. They are going to ask you why you didn't see the signs, what kind of parent are you if you let this happen. But, we all know you would've stopped it if you knew." Sonya explained. "You are a good mother, Olivia. You're the best I've ever seen so don't take what they say personally. They just want to keep Mike out of prison."
Olivia paused. "I won't. I already feel bad enough." Sonya opened her mouth to speak, but Olivia interrupted her. "I'm going to go find Elliot. We'll meet you in the courtroom." She said before leaving. She found Elliot and Summer in the hallway with John, Alex, Casey, and Fin. "Hey guys." She breathed.
Summer lifted her head from Elliot's shoulder and reached for Olivia. "Mommy?" Olivia took her daughter and held her tightly.
"Liv, you are not going to believe who else came to be here for Summer." Elliot smiled lightly not exactly feeling the greatest about the situation but happy that this person cared enough to come.
"Who?" Olivia asked cupping her daughter's head.
"Dad came." Fin smirked.
"Fin, I said no Dad jokes today." Cragen said coming up to the group. He smiled lightly at Olivia. "How you guys holding up?"
"We're getting there." Elliot breathed putting a hand on Olivia's back. "We're just more worried about Summer at this point." He looked at his watch and then back at everyone. "We should probably get to the courtroom."
Everyone nodded and they all went to the courtroom. They sat down behind Sonya who turned to them. "Okay, if everything goes as scheduled, it sounds like Summer will be testifing today." Sonya explained. She looked down at Summer. "Summer, do you remember everything I told you?"
Summer nodded rubbing her eyes. "Yeah." She looked up at Olivia and hugged her. "I don't want to see Mike."
"I know you don't baby; it'll all be over soon." Olivia breathed and kissed her daughter's head. She looked up at Elliot tearing up. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her head. Looking up, he saw the other little girl Mike had taken along with the parents of the little girls he killed. He put a hand on his daughter's back to reassure himself he still had her.
Everyone looked up when they heard a loud bang. It was the door closing from the other end of the courtroom. Mike entered with a guard next to him. He had bruises on his face from when Elliot beat him up in the squad room. Summer trembled in Olivia's arms after she saw him. Elliot wrapped his other arm around Summer and held her tighter to make her feel secure. "Daddy." Summer whimpered reaching for him.
Olivia handed her to him and kissed her head. Elliot rubbed her back. "Summer, it's going to be okay. We're not going to let him hurt you. I promise you." He felt her tremble and his heart started breaking piece by piece. "Once we're done here, you won't ever have to see Mike again. Okay?"
Summer nodded and wrapped her little arms around Elliot's neck. "I love you Daddy."
"I love you too, baby." Elliot breathed.
That night, everyone got home. The day had been long. Mike had said that he loved Summer with all of his fricken heart every time he got the chance. Summer's testimony was heart breaking. There wasn't a single dry eye in the court. Sonya said she didn't need Elliot or Olivia's testimonies because Summer did such a great job. Of course, a good job just meant that she went up there. Elliot was proud of his daughter. She did what most women don't do in their entire life and she just turned three.
Olivia took off her jacket as Elliot sat down on the end of the bed. She watched him through mirror as he toed off his shoes and sat their with a blank expression. They both felt drained, but she knew neither one of them would get any sleep. She teared up thinking of her daughter's voice saying all those things that she did today in court. There was so much they didn't know about.
Elliot looked up at his wife and stood up. He walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist as his own tears fell. She turned around in his arms and cupped his face. Looking deep into her big brown eyes, he leaned down and captured her lips. He pulled her tighter against him as she deepened the kiss.
Running her hands up his chest, she slid them onto his shoulders and let his jacket drop to the floor. Elliot started working on the buttons to her blouse as she untucked his shirt. Her nails dug into his back as he walked her backwards towards the bed. As he layed her down on the bed she laid open mouthed kissed on his chest.
Later, they laid together, carressing each other. He ran his fingers through her hair slowly, watching as her brown locks fell down each time he let go. She looked up at him, brown to blue. "I love you Elliot."
"I love you too Olivia." Elliot said before kissing her again.
