One Thing Led to Another

Chapter 7: Mend A Broken Heart

"Bab-" he looked up to see Liv and Nick kissing, she wasn't resisting or pulling away...almost like she liked it. He felt the tears building up, he dropped the food and walked away. He knew it was too good to be true, maybe him and Liv just weren't mean't to be together. Maybe she was mean't with someone else..that just simply wasn't him.

He quickly left the building, not waiting to hear a the running footsteps of Liv, or get shouting his name. He didn't need and explanation. He didn't want one. He had lost the love of his life. Again. He reached his car, he dug his hands into his pocket trying to find the keys, nothing.

He swore under his breath, the keys were in the apartment. He didn't want to go back up, but he needed his keys. He sighed, tonight just couldn't get any worse.

Liv had immediately pulled away when she heard Elliot's voice, she looked towards where she heard him to find he wasn't there. Oh god, he had seen. He had left. He gave up on them...she lost him.

She was brought out of her thoughts by Nick. She hated him so much as of right now. He ruined it, he ruined the one thing she had ever wanted. She glared at him "Get the hell out of my house! I don't want to ever talk to you unless it's work related!" She pushed him out the door.

"Liv bab-" Liv cut him off. "No don't you dare call me baby! I am not your baby, nor will I ever be! I don't like you, I never will! Now I suggest you leave!" Liv yelled at him. All she wanted to do was slap him, "Don't ever come near me again! You just ruined the only thing I ever wanted! I love Elliot! Only him!" "You don't know what your missing." He laughs and walks into the elevator.

Elliot had walked the six flights of stairs, he needed all the time he could get to get through what was going to happen. He walked to her door, he used the spare key, he didn't need Liv opening the door, if he could just make it quick in and out it would be a miracle.

He slowly opened the door quietly, he looked for his keys, they were nowhere to be found. He looked around more til he heard the soft footsteps, he immediately froze. "El, we need to talk.." He sighed, even walking up those stairs thinking about how this would play out didn't work. Nothing would prepare him for the next conversation.

"Olivia, no. I don't need or want an explanation. I knew this was too good to be true, so just drop it. The day after we first slept together, how you told me to forget it, well i'm telling you to forget it now, forget the last hour we just spent together. Forget it." his voice cracked on the last part, he could feel a tear slide down his cheek, he quickly wiped it.

He finally found his keys, he quickly grabbed it. "Bye Olivia."

She stood there, why was this happening?! Did he change his mind about them? She felt her vision get blurred, tears started streaming down her face. How could she forget it? It was the best hours of her life. She quickly ran after him, after noticing he was walking out. She turned him back around and kissed him long and passionately.

She felt him pull away, her heart breaking....that's it. It's over.

Elliot was walking out when he felt her turn him back, it was barely a second before they were kissing, he didn't want to pull away, but was this a kiss of her telling him to stay? Or a goodbye kiss? He pulled away and looked at her. He looked into her eyes, he saw every emotion she was having.

There was passion, love, sadness. He knew she didn't want it to end. Instead of speaking he pulled her close and kissed her. He felt her put her arms around his neck. He knew he couldn't leave, he needed her. She was his life. Without her...there was no Elliot. Just a man.

Liv looked at him, "Please..don't leave. That kiss mean't nothing! I love you, only you. Please don't go." she was sobbing at this point. She felt his arms wrap around her, she instantly felt safe. She threw her arms around him and sobbed onto his shoulder. She felt him rub her back, she knew he wasn't going anywhere. He was staying.

She heard him whisper "I love you, i'm not going anywhere." she nodded against him and wiped her tears. "I love you too." She smiled softly. All the sadness have left, now she was happy, truly happy. She couldn't help but smile. She took his hand and held it "I love you Elliot Stabler, only you." he didn't say a word and kisses her again, she never was going to get tired of this.

Every kiss they had felt like the first one. A kiss tells her that it wasn't fact, they were together. In love.

He smiles, he rubbed her cheek "I love you so much. I don't want to lose you." she kissed his hand "I love you too, and the baby and I don't want to lose you either." hearing her mention the baby warmed his heart. He couldn't contain the ear to ear smile that was plastered on his face. She smiled and pulled him into the room, "I want you to move in." She whispers.

He smiles bigger "Of course I will, i'd love it." He was moving in with her, he would be able to wake up to her, fall asleep to her, be in a relationship, that wasn't restricted. It was them together. Not as partners. As lovers.

He finally had everything he wanted. His life complete. The broken pieces of his heart put back together, with all the love he needed.

He pulled Liv closer to him and kissed her head, he rubbed her stomach, they laid there in silence, he head her breathing evening out, knowing she was asleep. He kissed her shoulder "I love you two." He whispered before sleep took over him.
