"Eden Dakota Stabler! Come back here with my underwear!" Elliot shouts, as a little Eden runs down the hall way carrying her fathers boxers
"Mommy! Mommy! I stole daddy's unda pants!" The little girl laughs
"Aww sweetie. Shhh, give them here" I take them and hide them down the back of the sofa.
Elliot runs out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist and bubbles still in his hair.
"Where did you put them squirt!?" He asks
"I don't have them! Look!" She says
Elliot looks up at me and i can't help but burst into laughter
"Liv, give them back!"
"I don't have them!"
"Well, I guess.. I'll.. Have.. To.. Find... Them.. Myself!" He says as he tickles me.
"They are behind the sofa! Stop it!" I yell
"Thank you!" Elliot says,quite smug as he walks back into the bathroom
"Don't worry baby, we will get him next time!" I say picking her up.
"Mommy can I come to work with you today?"
"Baby you know you can't! Mommy has lots and lots of work to do"
"But I want to be a police man as well!"
"I'm a police woman Eden! Your daddy is a police man!" I laugh
"Mommy please. I don't want to go to school. Mommy please" she cries into my shoulder.
Something is wrong. These aren't crocodile tears. This is for real.
I carry her to the couch and kneel down in front of her.
"Baby, what's the matter?"
"Nothing. I can't tell you! He said not to tell anyone. He said it's our secret. He said, if I tell anyone, he will kill me"
