She had tried to text Elliot three more times over the past two weeks, with no luck. He wasn't going to let her off the hook easily and she knew she deserved the cold shoulder after lying to him, but that didn't mean she wasn't hurt by it. Maybe if she straight out told him she was pregnant, he would've responded, but she hadn't had the nerve to do that. Her texts had all been sent under the guise of checking to see how he was doing or asking if he wanted to get together and he'd always sent back a brief reply saying he was fine but busy. That was it…nothing else.

She was packing a small suit case for Noah and she wanted to cry. She was going to miss him the next two days. She had asked Maureen if she could watch Noah for a couple of days, telling her she'd been having some female problems and that she was having a procedure done, but not specifying anything more. Maureen didn't pry, but quickly agreed to take Noah with her to Queens for a couple of days. Olivia wondered what Maureen had said to Elliot about their little visitor, but she didn't ask. He obviously didn't care, or he would've called her.

"I'm gonna miss you," she hugged the baby close to her and carried him along with his suitcase into the living room. She hadn't been away from him since he'd come to live with her, and thinking about the next two days was heartbreaking. Maureen arrived and was busy getting Noah's things together to take to her car while Olivia sat on the sofa, tears streaming down her face as she said good-bye to her little boy.

"He's gonna be fine," Maureen assured her. "We're gonna have so much fun, right buddy?" she asked with a smile. "You just take care of yourself," she looked sadly at Olivia. She knew Olivia had been sick, for quite a while now, and even though she wasn't sure exactly what was going on, she was worried. "Dad said to tell you he hopes you feel better," Maureen offered. She had told her father that Olivia had asked her to keep Noah a couple of days and he had seemed genuinely concerned, but when she'd suggested he call and talk to her, he had refused. She wondered why the two of them were so stubborn with one another. It was obvious they needed each other, but neither of them would admit it.

"Tell him thanks," she sighed, wondering why Elliot couldn't just come and tell her himself. Suddenly she felt the overwhelming urge to throw up and ran out of the room, ending their conversation.

Maureen continued to pack up Noah's playpen and a few toys he loved, while Noah and Kate sat on the sofa watching Sesame Street. The knock at the door startled her at first, but she opened it to find Fin there and smiled. She remembered Olivia saying a friend was going to drive her to her appointment that morning. "Hey, Fin," she said as she led him into the living room. "How are you doing?"

"Maureen?" he asked, unsure if he had the right one of Stabler's daughters. They all looked alike to him. She nodded and he smiled, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm watching Noah for Olivia," she answered. "I'm his nanny." She walked over to the sofa and sat down with the kids and he followed her, sitting in the chair across from them. "Olivia didn't tell you?"

"No…" he answered, wondering why Olivia had kept it a secret. "Where is she?"

Maureen pointed toward the bathroom, "She's not feeling well…again," she sighed.

"Oh," he nodded, wondering if Maureen knew anything about the pregnancy. "How's your dad doing?" he asked, changing the subject. "I haven't seen him in years."

"He's good," she smiled and picked up her daughter. "He loves being a grandpa…this is my daughter."

"She's beautiful…like her mother," he winked at her and she smiled. "Grandpa? Man…makes me feel old. Tell him he should give his old friends a call. We've all wondered about him. I know Olivia has…it was hard for her when he left."

"Olivia and Dad have seen each other," Maureen suddenly realized Olivia hadn't told her friends anything about seeing Elliot. "Right after I came to work here…they made up. Well for a while anyway…I don't know what's going on between them now but I think they're fighting again. You know how stubborn they both are…"

He went over her words again and again, "They made up?" he asked and Maureen nodded, and finally he understood everything. No wonder Olivia wouldn't tell him who the father of her baby was, and right now all he wanted to do was punch Elliot Stabler in the face. "I'd love to get together with him," he suggested. "Do you think he'd be willing to get together and talk?"

"Probably," Maureen replied. "He works at Litzman Security in Queens. You could give him a call later."

Olivia came back from the bathroom, her face sickly and pale, but relieved when she saw Fin had arrived. "Are you ready?" she asked.

"Sure," he took her by the arm, "You doing alright?" he asked gently.

She nodded, "Same old…same old." She leaned over and kissed Noah, "Bye sweetie. I'm going to miss you." Then she looked at Maureen, "Thanks again…call me if you need to and I'll call and check on him tonight." She brushed away her tears and hugged Kate, "Have fun with Noah…show him all the cool things at your house, okay?"

"Okay, Livia," the little girl giggled and Olivia smiled.

"Good luck," Maureen reached out and hugged her. "If you need anything, call me. I can get back here."

"Thanks," Olivia smiled. Then she walked out the door with Fin. She wished she had told Elliot the truth. She needed him to be there, but it was her own fault he wasn't. "I appreciate this, Fin," she leaned back in the car, trying to fight the queasiness that was taking over her entire body.

"Don't worry about it," he looked at her and he hated Elliot for making her go through all of this alone. "It's gonna be okay…I know it."
