One Thing Led to Another

Chapter 9: Stalker

After picking up all the pictures and throwing them all in a bag and put in the car to discard later Liv and Elliot were sitting at their desk. Both had not uttered a word since the whole thing. Both fuming with anger, but then scared if anyone had seen.

These pictures were taken in the private of their home, but that's not the thing they were scared about, these pictures were them in bed. Liv just wanted to kill the person, even though she didn't know it was Nick she had a feeling it was him. He hasn't been the nicest since he was turned down by Liv. Whenever their alone she had this uneasy feeling, like something bad is going to happen.

She never told Elliot because she knew he'd overreact and she wasn't in the mood for it. Liv looked into Cragen's office, it was dark and the door was locked. Therefore indicating he hadn't come in, that came as a relief to the both of them. This was not the way she wanted to tell everyone that her and Elliot were together, let alone having a baby.

She looked at Elliot from across their desk, she knew he was doing work to get his mind off of it but she could see he was worried just as much as her. She sighed, all she wanted to do was go over there and have him hold her, she didn't want it she needed it.

She needed to feel safe, even if it was just for a few seconds. "El." She whispered. He looked up at her "Yeah?" "Can we go to the cribs, please." she pleaded. He looked at her and knew what she wanted. "Yeah baby." He got up. She smiled softly and got up. They went to the cribs, no one was there yet. Meaning they didn't have to be that secretive, but a little secretive just in case.

The minute the door of the cribs shut Elliot had his arms around her in a tight embrace. She had thrown her arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder. All she wanted to do was just freeze this moment, this was one of her favorite things about being with him, whenever he held her, or held her hand she felt safe. He was her safe place. As corny as that sounded, it was true.

She looked at him, "I think it was Nick." She whispered. He sighed "Why would he do this? Why now?" She shrugged "I don't know...but for some reason I feel like it's him." He kissed her head "I'll look into it, when we get home i'll check the house for cameras." "Okay....why do you think we were the first ones here? Even Cap wasn't here, and he's usually the first one."

"I don't know babe, but we'll figure it out. If you ever want to go home, tell me babe, and we'll go together." she nodded. "I think for now you need to always be with someone." She looked at him. "I don't need a bodyguard, i'm a grown woman who can handle myself." she never wanted to rely on someone, she hasn't her whole life. She was always alone, she could handle things herself.

She knew Elliot wanted her to be safe, but she did not need a bodyguard. "Liv, I would feel much better if someone was with you at all times." "Well guess what I don't want one!" "Olivia" she knew if he was using her full name he was either pissed, annoyed, or angry. But she didn't care, she did not need someone. "Elliot no! I can take care of myself!"

"So all those times I saved your ass, you could handle yourself!" as soon as those words came out of his mouth her regretted it. She looked at him, "Fuck you Elliot, don't even think about coming home tonight!" She pushed him away.

"Liv baby, I'm sorry." "Don't Elliot. Those times you saved my ass, you should have just let me die. Then we wouldn't be having this problem and you could be with Kathy, so you know what don't come home." She walked out slamming the door behind her.

He stood there, he knew he had messed up. He always messed up, he sighed. He was going to fix this somehow, he didn't want to go anywhere tonight but home with her. He walked out and looked for her. She was sitting at her desk, her head resting between her hands. He looked at the clock 7:30, and everyone still wasn't here. He got an uneasy feeling.

He quickly walked to Liv "Baby." "Don't call me baby." he knew by her tone it wasn't her speaking it was the hormones. With the pregnancy hormones every time she got mad her voice was a different tone from when she was normally mad. He knelt in front of her and turned her towards him.

"Liv, i'm sorry. I didn't mean anything I said, it just came out. Please baby, forgive me." She looked at him, her face softened at his words. She knew he was truly sorry. She put her hand on his cheek "I forgive you, but don't you ever say something like that again. Or the next time I will kick your ass." She smiled. He smiled, he knew she wasn't mad anymore.

"Baby, how about we go home. I mean no ones here. Plus we both have sick days." she rubbed his cheek "Sure." she smiled. He smiled "Good." His phone went off indicating he had a text message. He looked at it "Shit, I forgot it's my weekend with Eli." Liv smiled "Go get him baby, i'll stay home a little. I think I want to start on the nursery." He smiled "You sure?" "Positive." She kissed him.

He smiled "I'll drop you off first." she nodded and grabbed her stuff. They left the precinct making their way home. Elliot had dropped her off and made sure she walked in safely. Once she got to the apartment she flickered the lights, telling Elliot she made it in safe.

She went to the bathroom turning on the tub, she got the tub ready for a much needed bath. She slowly took off her clothes and settled into the tub. She was laying there peacefully, taking in the nice relaxing time til she heard a noise. She quickly got up, she looked at her phone, it was too early for Elliot to be back.

She put on her robe, she grabbed her phone in her left hand and her gun in the right. She slowly crept into the kitchen, where she heard the noise. She walked in, no one was there. But there was something on the counter that wasn't there before. A package.

She looked down at the package "Break up with him, or this video gets out." she opened the package and there was a disk. She didn't want to know what was on this video, but a little part of her wanted to know. She sighed, she put it in the DVD player and settled on the couch. She pressed play.

She looked at the video, she immediately knew what it was. It was her and Elliot having sex. She quickly turned it off. She was scared now, what was she going to do? She couldn't have this get out, they could lose their jobs, it would haunt them their entire life. She didn't want to break up with Elliot, he was her everything. She needed him. She couldn't break up with him.

But she needed this to stop, she couldn't just break up with the love of her life. She sat there. What was she going to do?
