Rejection [A Bensler Fan Fic]

Twenty-Seven

Their first night as a married couple was amazing. Olivia and Elliot got some private time together, which was rare since they lived with Elliot's parents and had a little boy running around. 

"Good morning, Mrs. Stabler." Elliot smiled when he noticed his wife had finally woken up.

"Hi, El. Did I sleep too long?" Olivia questioned, and Elliot shook his head as he wrapped his arms around Olivia and pulled her closer.

"You can sleep for as long as you want. I'm just glad you are awake now... especially since I'm bored."

"You should have gotten me up when you did. I want to spend as much time enjoying our days alone as a married couple." Olivia spoke. She leaned close and kissed Elliot several times before having to excuse herself to use the bathroom.

Elliot got out of bed and made it before ordering some breakfast. Once he was done, he sighed because he heard Olivia's phone ringing.

"Yeah?" Elliot asked as he answered the call.

"Elliot? Is Liv there?" Matthew asked, and Elliot's eyes went wide as anger started to bubble up inside of his chest.

"Matthew, Olivia is done with you all. I'm sorry if that doesn't work for you, but my wife needs to be stress free. Not only for her sake, but the sake of our daughter. Do you understand?" Elliot warned.

"Elliot, I don't want to hurt her! I just need to talk to her, so please give her the phone!" Matthew yelled into the phone.

Elliot hadn't heard Matthew like this in a while, and he hated to hear him like this. But he also wasn't willing to step down and let Matthew walk all over his wife.

"Matty, you don't sound great. But that doesn't mean you can force all this negative energy on Olivia. So if you want to see her or talk to her, wait until Monday morning. We are on our honeymoon, and I won't allow you to ruin that. Do you understand me?" Elliot warned as he heard Olivia moving around in the bathroom.

"Elliot-"

"End of conversation." Elliot replied, before ending the call. He put his wife's phone back on the table before sinking down onto the edge of the bed.

"Who called?" Olivia asked, as she slowly moved from the bathroom and to where her husband sat.

"It was a scam call. So no one important. Now, I ordered us breakfast and then I thought we could go swimming afterwards. I'd love to see you in that bikini that I packed you." Elliot grinned.

"It's gonna suck for you then, since I traded it out for my one piece." Olivia laughed.

Their honeymoon ended too soon. They had really enjoyed spending three days together as a couple, before returning to life as parents too. Miles was beyond excited to see his parents, but he was more excited to finally be able to talk to his baby sister again.

"How was your honeymoon?" Bernie asked once Olivia came downstairs from putting Miles down for a nap.

"It was really good. Elliot and I got to spend quality time together, came up with a name for our daughter, and we went swimming." Olivia spoke, as she breezed past the one bit of information that she knew Bernie would be the most excited about.

"I'm glad you had... wait, you came up with a name for the baby?!" Bernie exclaimed, and Olivia laughed and nodded.

"Yes, we did. We used our alone time to get one very important thing out of the way." Olivia spoke. 

She moved over and sat down beside Bernie before pulling her phone out. Bernie stopped her and eyed her.

"Olivia Stabler, you gotta tell me. Ever since you found out that the baby was a girl, I have been wondering what you'd name her. If you'd do something traditional or something that goes with Miles' name." 

"Neither, really. Elliot and I didn't realize what we wanted to name her, but we did some researching of names and decided on Jade Vanessa. Elliot loved Vanessa, and I loved Jade... so we switched them around several times before deciding on the way we did it."

"Our little Jade... I'm so excited to have another granddaughter! Liv-" Bernie got interrupted when the doorbell rang.

Bernie sighed before standing and answering the door. She frowned when she saw the visitor before turning to look at her daughter-in-law.

"Olivia, you have a visitor." 

"I have a visitor? You didn't even greet them." Olivia laughed nervously. She stood and swapped spots with Bernie before drawing in a shaky breath.

Olivia forced Matthew to stay outside, and she stood on the deck as her brother anxiously paced the pathway. 

"What are you doing here?" Olivia finally asked.

"I was kicked out of the house like a week ago. Mom kicked me out because she found out that I was still seeing you. She's angry and hates me so she kicked me out." Matthew mumbled.

"Okay, well that isn't my fault. What do you need?" Olivia sighed, as she crossed her arms over her chest.

"I need help! I have been living in my car, and I can't do that any more! So please, just lend me some money and I can get a hotel room or pay first and last for an apartment!" Matthew exclaimed.

Olivia had to fight the urge to give her brother money, and it was hard. However, Olivia knew that she and Elliot couldn't just be giving money away. They had a future to plan for, and Olivia knew that Jade would be far from cheap to have and take care of.

"When you come here and demand things from me, especially money... it doesn't make me want to help you. Matty you are almost twenty. I don't know why you don't have a job yet... so find one instead of coming over here and asking for money. I have baby furniture to buy, along with diapers and wipes, then I'll have another hospital stay that will add to the already huge pile of hospital bills we are still paying." Olivia spoke.

"I got kicked out because of you!"

"No, you got kicked out because you and Doug went against what Mom told you to do! This isn't on me!"
