Lost Love

                     Elliot's POV

When I woke up , I immediately felt sore. For some reason my eyes were blurry and I didn't know where I was.I rubbed my eyes and realized that I was in my living room. I looked around and that's where I saw Finn, Munch and Alex sleeping. I guess I'm the first one up. Might as well make breakfast for everyone. I got up slowly and quietly so that I didn't wake anyone up. First I headed to the bathroom,to brush my teeth and freshen up. I then headed towards the kitchen and opened the fridge. There was nothing in the fridge and that's when it came to me that I've been living like a non- attached person since Liv got attacked and lost the baby. Everyone should be hungry when they wake up and after all they had just done for me and Liv. I decided I was going to get breakfast instead and reminding myself that I needed to go grocery shopping. I need to get back my life on track and I don't know if I can. I quietly went to the door and looked back, everyone was sleeping. I went to a restaurant and got a small tray of turkey bacon, eggs, biscuits and cinnamon rolls. This tray will surely fill everyone. I also bought a bottle of orange juice and headed back to the apartment. When I got back, everyone was still sleeping and the food got cold. I figured I would put everything into the oven to warm up and knowing them, the smell alone would wake them up and sure enough it did. They all got up and walked to kitchen. Munch spoke and said " don't tell me you made all of this just for us. You're too sweet. You shouldn't have." Finn then laughed and said " of course he didn't, there was no groceries in the fridge remember." Alex then replied " it's the thought that count so, thanks Elliot." I then said " well everyone had to eat so I just ran to a restaurant and got us some breakfast and you're welcome." Finn replied " you left? I don't think we heard a thing. We must've have been really tired." We all sat and ate and then they left. I sat down in the apartment and started thinking. Thinking that I couldn't see Liv today and I would just wait for them to tell me when she can be released. I needed to go to work, I can't stay in this apartment by myself and be left alone with my thoughts. Before I knew it, the day(s) just passed and it was Monday again. I got ready and went into work. When I got to my table, Munch said " what the hell are you doing here?" I said "to work, same as you," before he could even reply Cragen came out into the bullpen and said " Stabler, my office now." I got up and walked to his office. When I got into his office, he was quiet for a moment and then said " you know you shouldn't be here, you have sick time, use it." I replied " I just have to be at work Cap, I can't be in our apartment by myself. He nodded and then said " that's fair, but as soon as I see that you are not up for work I'm sending you home and I hope you have the decency to tell me when you're done and need to go home." I replied " I will Cap , I will." He then said, "for the time being since Liv is currently recovering, you'll have a temporary partner. She's out there in the bullpen and will introduce herself sure enough." I nodded and walked back to the bullpen. I wonder who my new partner could be. When I got back to my desk I heard a voice say, " hey, are you Stabler?" I nodded in response and then she continued to speak, " I'm Dani Beck, your new partner."

DUN DUN DUN

How did you all like this update ?
I personally feel like Elliot is not ready to be back at work and the elephant in the room his " new partner" as she so put it.
