L&O: SVU One Shots

Trust (Elliot)

Dedicated to @JessieHarper0

Request: Hey could you do me an Elliot imagine where Elliot and I have been friends since we were little and then when he is with Kathy we have an affair. I get pregnant and he leaves her then he comes to me and then it time jumps six years later. We are married and have two kids: a daughter named Emily and a son named Jack.

Warnings: Cheating

"Should we really be doing this?" my breath was hot.

Elliot smiled, "Maybe not, but who cares? I don't."

"But what about Kathy?"

"Kathy has told me over and over again that she wants a divorce. We are getting one, but it's a long process. I can't wait any longer."

"So this is an affair?" I asked.

"Yes, Jessie, it is."

"Elliot-"

He stopped kissing my neck, "I'll stop now Jessie, but I want you to know that I love you. I have really loved you from day one. Remember when you got your first boyfriend and how I would never talk to you until a year later when you guys broke up? Not only was I being a stupid teenager, I was hurt. I was extremely jealous that I was not the one holding you and whispering cheesy romantic things in your ear."

"I want to love you too Elliot," I replied, "I just don't know...you and Kathy are a thing still, right?"

"It's your choice," he shuffled his feet.

I contemplated for a bit. I would feel horrible about doing such a thing, but I really felt something for Elliot. If I did not do this now, Elliot could try to fix things with Kathy, and it could actually work. I made up my mind. It may not have been the right decision in that moment, but I trusted my gut.

"I love you Elliot," I kissed his lips again and again.

-A few weeks later-

After Elliot and I had an affair, I noticed about a week ago I had some strange symptoms. I felt nauseous all the time and I had developed strange eating habits. I immediately went into panic mode and bought every type of pregnancy test I could. Each brand said I was positive. I pulled at my hair and cried for what seemed like hours. I wasn't ready to be a mother and Elliot was technically still with Kathy. I hoped that Elliot would get divorced before I told him. I would have to eventually do it, and I would rather he be single. It was karma coming to bite me in the ass for having an affair. I would have to accept this responsibility, but for the time being, I would be sulking and watching TV with my ketchup covered macaroni.

-3 months since the affair-

I had been hiding from Elliot lately. My baby bump was getting rather noticeable. People stopped to stare at my stomach more often. Cashiers would ask me how far along when they looked at the items I was buying. I would nervously smile and say "12 or 13 weeks...I guess..." Strangers in line would give me random advice on caring for kids. Some crazy people even tried to get into my personal business by scolding me for having a baby out of wedlock when they noticed there was no ring on my finger.

All of those feelings and experiences would soon disappear when I got the call from Elliot. He told me that Kathy and him were now officially divorced and that we could start our lives together. He started going off about all the places he would take me.

"What do you think about overseas? Am I going too fa-"

"I'm pregnant," I interrupted him. I could not hold it in for any longer.

There was a long silence before a single, "What?"

"I'm pregnant Elliot," I repeated, "13 weeks exactly."

"How long have you known?"

"About 10 weeks ago."

"I'm coming over."

With that he hung up to phone. He later on arrived and talked things over with me. He comforted me as I cried on his shoulder. He kissed the top of my head multiple times and said, "I'll never let you go."

In my head though, a thought kept running through my mind.

Did he say that to Kathy as well?

But in the end, I decided to trust him, and that completely changed my life.

-6 years later-

"Emily! Jack!" I shouted from the backyard door frame, "Come inside!"

They were still in the yard looking for Easter eggs. I had told them that they found them all, but Elliot had to convince them that he hid one in a super secret place! I shook my head and patted my dress.

"Elliot! Get your kids inside!"

"Yes ma'am!" he grinned as he ran out into the backyard.

We had always wanted a nice green backyard. After I gave birth to Emily, we had decided that it was time to leave the big city. Elliot left SVU and took another job a few hours away from Manhattan. I began my work as an artist and had recently painted something that was viewed upon by many at an art gallery. I felt quite proud of myself that I had achieved a life that I always desired as a little girl. Elliot and I had our ups and downs, but I couldn't be more happier that I trusted him.

Emily and Jack eventually retreated inside the house. Elliot came running back to me. He gave me a big kiss on the lips and smiled. He then smirked and whispered in my ear, "They're your kids too you know."
