Black eyes, Blue tears

Brian went up to bed not long after the guys had left. Olivia was curled on the couch shaking slightly as she was naked and pulled a blanket that had fallen to the floor and pulled it over her on the couch. Every inch of her felt like it was in agony but she couldn't move or it made it worse.

Elliot sighed as he watched her cry and curl under the small blanket on the couch. He wished he could go over and save her from the hell he knew she must be feeling but he had his orders.

***

The next day after the delivery elliot came over to Brian and Olivia's house knowing Brian wasn't home since he had just texted him 20 minutes ago about the delivery.

Elliot walked up to the door and knocked. When Olivia answered she was wearing a baggy long sleeve sweater and black tights with sunglasses on. "Hey olivia." He said cautiously.

Olivia stuttered slightly and said "um...i..I'm sorry Eddie bri isn't home ..yet."

"Oh yeah. Um I know I just came to see how...how you were doing." He said trying not to let on that he already knew.

She shook her head "oh..me I'm fine." She said with a soft fake smile.

Elliot did something he knew could be risky but he took her sunglasses off her face revealing awful bruising on her left eye. "You don't look ok olivia." He said in a low tone. "He's hurting you isn't he?"

She glanced around quickly as if she were afraid Brian may pull up and see then she quickly snatched her sun glasses back and put them on. "Its ..it's nothing really Eddie...I have to go." She said in a scared tone.

Elliot quickly but softly grabbed her arm and she winced "Liv why don't you just leave him?" He said using her nick name for the first time.

She shook her head "i...I can't ok its...it's not that easy. We have a child...i...I just can't." She said and took her arm from his light grip and quickly shut the door.

Elliot sighed but left not wanting to scare her more right now. He went to his house and just watched her on the cameras as she took care of eve and the house and made dinner for a man Elliot knew didn't care about her. He decided in that moment that by the time his mission was up he would help her escape the man she feared so much.

Olivia had just set dinner out as Brian came home. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her from behind as she shook slightly and winced as he kissed her cheek "smells better than usual." He whispered.

She nodded slightly trying to keep her fear contained. "Th..thank you baby." She said as he slapped her ass before he sat and said "get me a beer babe."

She nodded and went to the kitchen and brought him a beer out. "Um...me and eve ate already. I...I'm gonna go give her a bath."

He nodded and slapped her ass once more as she walked away.

Olivia picked up her almost 4 year old daughter eve and helped give her a bath. Eve was giggling and splashing as olivia splashed her hair to remove shampoo and then played with her with her toys in the tub. "Boat goes vroom mama."

Olivia smiled "that's right sweetie." She then got her out and dried her off and getting her in to pajamas. "Ok sweetheart it's bed time." She said taking her to her bed and tucking her in "you sleep well baby girl."

"Night night mama." She yawned and olivia smiled softly as she turned on her night light and shut the door. She then went to hers and Brian's room hopeing to be asleep before he came up.
