And in the beginning..There was you!!!

19

(After she has cried her tears dry, she gets up to go call Elliot but it's off. She puts everything back before taking it to her room. She places it on the nightstand before getting into bed. She lays there empty and scared as she waits for Elliot to call her back.)

(It's now been two days and Olivia was pacing back and forth with her phone in her hand. More hours passed and it was now morning and Olivia hadn't slept a wink. She had gotten up around midnight to move out to the living room in hoping he would walk through the door.)

(Still no word, she started to expect the worst and maybe he had left her there. So she called a cab to take her to the car rental place. Her bags were placed by the door while she was sitting at the table waiting. Her cab pulls up and she sadly gets up to collect her things to head back home. She had already talked to Noah so she could pick him up on the way. She had just opened the front door when she saw Elliot's SUV heading toward the house.)

(She walked to the cab and placed her bags in the trunk just as Elliot was walking up to her. She hung her in shame so she didn't have to look him in the eyes.)

Elliot: What's going on? Your leaving?

Olivia: (takes a deep breath) Yes, I figured I should leave. I was planning on being gone before or if you came back. I'm sorry I didn't tell you when you came back, I just didn't want to put too much on your plate. I'll understand if you want nothing else to do with me. I hope one day you can forgive me, I left the box on the nightstand if you want to keep it. Goodbye, Elliot!

(Olivia slams the trunk and walks around Elliot to get inside the cab. Once in she closes the door and gives him one last sad smile before the cab drives off. She breaks more and more as the cab moves farther away from the beach house. Elliot stands there dumbfounded and in disbelief, as he sees the tail light blur away. Head hung low he turns and heads inside as he can't believe she left.)

(It has been two weeks since that awful day and she hasn't heard from him. Her squad notices her pissy mood and tries to stay clear. She was in her office when Fin knocked before entering.)

Fin: Who ass do I have to beat?

Olivia: (her eyes water) Elliot found the box.

Fin: The box with baby girls' things in it?

Olivia: Yeah, and now he's MIA and told me he would never forgive me for not telling him.

Fin: He is the one who left. He screwed up and he's blaming you for this?

Olivia: It took two to tango Fin. I should have told him when he came back. I'm a terribly selfish person because I decided to not tell him. He had every right to know that he had another daughter.

Fin: No, you can't put the blame all on you Liv. He has to take accountability for his actions too. If I have to, I will whoop his ass for even making you feel like this.

Olivia: Thanks Fin, maybe we weren't meant to be if we couldn't talk about this. Hell, maybe he's better off without my extra baggage.

(With that said, Fin shakes his head and leaves his best friend alone in her office. As the hours passed she was finally making her way home to her son. She releases Lucy and goes to watch him sleep as a tear falls down her cheek. Wiping it away she turns and heads to the bedroom closing the door while she showers and then in bed.)

(It was another week before she got a knock on her door. Sitting here wine down she places the files on the table. She grabs her gun before she heads to the door because she is alone tonight. She looks through the peep hole and gasps at who she sees on the other end.)

(Sighing she takes a deep breath before opening the door. He looks at her for a second before she steps to the side to let him in. She locks the door and place her gun on the kitchen counter. She turns around feeling his eyes on her and she starts to sweat.)

Elliot: I want to know everything.

Olivia: (exhales) Ok, um we can sit.

Elliot: Is Noah here?

Olivia: No, he's at Amanda's tonight.

(She wait for him to sit before she sits in the far corner eyeing him.)

Elliot: She died when she was just six months old. What happened? And why didn't you try to contact me to tell me that I had a kid? Are you that selfish and upset that you decided to keep my kid from me?

Olivia: (getting upset) You son of a bitch, you have no idea what I sent through.

Elliot: (chuckle) I have been back two years Olivia. When were you going to tell me that we had a daughter huh? What, you wanted to wait until this happened again, maybe hoping that I would be so distracted that you didn't have to tell me?

Olivia: Fuck you! I looked for you when I found out I was pregnant. You're the coward who fucked up and fucked me while you were still married.

Elliot: Yeah, but that didn't stop you from opening your legs, did it?

Olivia: (shakes her head) You're unbelievable. You came to my door and damn near begged me to have sex with you.

(After she finishes that sentence they give each other a deep look. Olivia watches as Elliot looks through the content from the box. A sad look comes across his face as he looks at his daughter he never met. Olivia is breathing heavily as she tries to figure out his next move.)

(Elliot runs his hand over the pictures of the baby by herself. He blinks his eyes rapidly to blink away the tears.)

Olivia: (looks at him) El?

Elliot: What happened?

Olivia: She died in her sleep.

Elliot: How, what happened?

Olivia: I don't know, they said she died from SIDS.

Elliot: SIDS, but she looked so healthy.

Olivia: She was.

Elliot: Was it something you did?

Olivia: What?

Elliot: I asked was it something you did?

Olivia: What do you mean?

Elliot: Was she sick or was it something genetic?

Olivia: No she was perfectly healthy. I woke up one morning and she was blue and I tried to do CPR but nothing worked. I tried everything I could but there was nothing they could do.

(He paces around snapping his fingers as he takes in what he was told. Olivia is frozen against the wall because she doesn't know what to expect.)
