Olivia rolled her eyes for the billionth time that night. Her date turned out to be a total jerk and she was just looking forward to getting home. The car pulled up to the house and she opened her door. "Thanks for dinner."
"Wait, I'll walk you to the door." The guy smiled before hurrying out of the car and walking with her.
"It's okay. You don't have to do that." Olivia said shaking her head.
Elliot saw Olivia and her date walking towards the door. He turned to find John right behind him. "What are you doing?"
"I could ask you the same thing, sir." John smirked before pointing at Olivia. "Are you waiting up for her?"
"Well, I want to make sure she gets home okay." Elliot explained confidently. John smirked and nodded before turning and walking away. Elliot looked back and opened the door when Olivia and her date made it to the door. "Oh hello?"
Olivia sighed in relief. "Mr. Stabler, what are you doing up?"
"I was going to go for a jog." Elliot lied.
Olivia furrowed her eyebrows looking at her attire. "In your suit and tie?" She looked at her date when he cleared his throat. "Oh, Patrick this is my boss, Elliot Stabler. Mr. Stabler, this is my date, Patrick Arthur." She looked up at Elliot and mouthed the words 'help me'.
Elliot furrowed his eyebrows. "Why are you calling me Mr. Stabler? And, why are you telling him I'm your boss?"
"Aren't you her boss? She told me she lived with him because she's a nanny?" Patrick asked Elliot with furrowed eyebrows.
"No, I'm her ex-husband. We are living together for the sake of the kids." Elliot said crossing his arms over his chest.
Patrick nodded. "Well, that's okay with me. Liv, should we head up to your room." Olivia's eyes widened.
Elliot grabbed the guy's collar and shoved him off the front step. "I think it's time for you to go." He put a hand on the small of Olivia's back and walked inside with her before closing the door, showing his fist to Patrick through the glass door. He shut the other door and walked over to Olivia. "Are you okay?"
Olivia shook her head. "No." She sat down on the staircase. "Every guy I meet seems promising, but they turn out to be total losers on the date."
"They can't all be losers." Elliot said sitting down next to her and wrapping an arm around her. He felt her head rest on his shoulder and relaxed. "You'll find the right guy someday. And, he will not be like that guy who only has one thing on his mind."
"Thanks Mr. Stabler." Olivia smiled before looking up at him. "You were going for a jog?" She watched as he started to blush and chuckled. "Were you waiting up for me?"
Elliot was about to speak when he heard Katie. "Liv?"
Olivia looked up and saw Katie coming down the stairs in her pajamas. Her hair was slightly curly and she was carrying a stuffed bear. "Hey sweetie, shouldn't you be sleeping?"
"Maybe." Katie said rubbing her eyes before sitting in Olivia's lap. "Daddy read to me tonight when you left."
"He did?" Olivia asked with a smile before looking at Elliot. "What did Daddy read?"
Katie smiled. "He made up a story." She giggled when Elliot tapped her nose. "Can you tuck me in?"
Olivia grinned. "Sure, I can." She kissed Elliot's cheek. "See, all you had to do is spend a little time with her. Now you have the other two." She stood up and walked upstairs to tuck Katie in.
Elliot smiled watching them before standing up, straightening out his jacket. John walked up to him. "Sir, what are you doing?"
"Oh, I was just talking with Ms. Benson. Katie woke up." Elliot explained pointing to the stairs.
"Sir, I may be overstepping, but you seem to like Ms. Benson more than the other nannies." John stated.
Elliot shrugged. "She is different from the other nannies and she has made the kids more outgoing. She has changed this household. The children adore her."
John furrowed his eyebrows. "Are you sure it's just the children?"
"Well, I like having her here." Elliot admitted shyly. "She has turned this house into a happy place. And,..."
"Yes?" John asked.
"Well, I-"
John interrupted. "Go on."
"I li-" Elliot started, but Alex trotted in.
Alex was grinning ear to ear. "Elliot, you are not going to believe it. We got Julie Andrews from the new movie."
John stomped his foot. "You just have to come in at the wrong time. But, I guess every time with you is the wrong time."
"Go polish your boss's shoes." Alex said swatting him away. She turned back to Elliot. "Her agent just called me and she is booked. All I have to do is get her to sign the contract."
"Whose contract?" Olivia asked walking down the stairs.
Elliot smiled at Olivia. "Julie Andrews."
Olivia gasped. "What?!" She grinned and put a hand on Elliot's arm. "Please tell me you are not joking!"
"I'm not." Elliot chuckled.
"Oh my God! I have to call my mother!" Olivia smiled before hugging Elliot and hurrying upstairs.
"Well, now I have to save my money for the phone bill." Elliot chuckled before turning to Alex.
Alex furrowed her eyebrows. "Elliot, you are getting very close with the nanny."
"What are you talking about? All I did was tell her that Julie Andrews is getting a part in our movie." Elliot said frowning. He looked at his watch. "Okay, how about we get Julie here tomorrow for the contract signing and then we can get ready for the red carpet?" Alex paused, but nodded before leaving.
Elliot walked upstairs and smiled hearing Olivia on the phone in her room. He walked past Katie's room and saw her tucked in, snuggled into the blankets. He smiled and went over to her before kissing her head. "Night Katie." He whispered before checking in on Nick and Daniel. He walked back to his room and changed before laying down in bed and turning on the TV. He thought about what everybody had been saying and didn't think he'd been acting that differently towards Olivia. Of course, he never really communicated with the other nannies. John kept hinting about him liking her. Did he like her? He shook his head, knowing she wasn't looking for a guy like him, and turned his attention back to the TV. Zoning into the fake lives of the show.
