Cassidy [A SVU Fan Fic]

Nineteen

Olivia and Brian spent the night with the boys, and then at their bedtime, Brian helped Olivia put the boys down. Once they were all tucked into their beds and sleeping, Olivia walked Brian out.

"Thanks for coming over. I enjoyed it and the boys did too." Olivia smiled, as Brian unlocked his car.

"You are one lucky woman, Liv. You have such great kids and you stood up to the man who has been treating you as inferior."

"I'm a little scared, Bri. Well, I'm really scared." She sighed.

"About?" He questioned.

"That he'll try and take my babies from me again. That I'll be alone again, and I don't want to be alone. It sucked so much living in a place where I couldn't wake up in the middle of the night and check on my boys."

"You can fight it if he decides to be a douche about this all."

"Yeah, it's my plan." She replied. She looked at Brian for a moment before stepping forward and hugging him.

"Thanks for this, Bri. I'll see you soon."

"I can help out if you need me to." He smiled gently.

"Why don't you come over tomorrow night and have dinner with us."

"Sounds good. I'll bring something over, my treat."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah! I'm sure! Have a good night, Livvie."

Olivia moved Joey from his room and into hers. She laid him on Elliot's side of the bed and then throughout the night, the older three boys joined them too. By the time Olivia woke up, the bed had all four of her boys in it, and most of them were sleeping with their feet where their heads were supposed to be.

She climbed out of bed and left the bedroom to go downstairs and start making breakfast for her sons, who she knew would be hungry soon. As she walked past the front door, someone knocked on it. She walked over to it and opened it slowly before frowning.

"What do you not understand about me kicking you out?" Olivia asked.

"Olivia, let me see my sons." He spat.

"They are sleeping. And by the looks of you, you slept with another woman." She spat back.

"W-"

"You have lipstick all over your neck and I think there are at least two hickies there too." She huffed.

"You act like you are innocent." He growled.

"I know I'm not! You think you are though! You've cheated on me twice now!" She cried, before slamming the door in his face. She locked the door before going into the kitchen as tears welled in her eyes.

He just keeps doing this. He thinks that he can just sleep around with no problems, but when she kisses a guy once, it's like she committed a crime.

Elliot honestly didn't know what to do with his days. He would drive past the house and see Olivia out front playing with the boys, or he'd go to the grocery store and see her shopping with Joey. As the days piled up and he realized how long he had been away from his sons because he was so angry, he started to think about forgiving Olivia. But he was also wondering if she'd forgive him if he apologized for sleeping around, which he has done four more times now.

When he finally decided to go and try and get his wife back, he went over to the house and saw Brian's car parked in the driveway. He was angry and climbed out of his car quickly. He wanted to kill Brian for being with his wife, and he wanted to kill his wife for sleeping with Brian, but when he pounded on the front door, Olivia answered and she was fully dressed.

"Elliot? What are you doing here?" Olivia asked quietly.

"I came to see you and the boys. But I guess Brian is taking care of you all." He huffed.

"Brian's not here. That isn't his car, El. That's Fin's new car." Olivia replied. Elliot's eyes went wide before he swallowed hard.

"Liv, I'm sorry..." He trailed off. Olivia's eyes went wide.

"El-"

"Please forgive me, baby. Let me come home." He begged.

"You can see the boys and we can work on us, but you can't come home. Do you think that I can just forgive you for doing what I know you've been doing?" Olivia breathed. Elliot swallowed hard and nodded.

"You are letting me see the boys when I kept them from you the whole time I kicked you out?" He asked.

"Yeah, Elliot. Because I'm not you. I know that all this anger towards Brian isn't only from when he asked me to get rid of our kid, but also when we slept together after he partnered with Munch. Honey, come in and eat dinner with us." Olivia spoke.

"Honey?" He asked as he felt tears fill his eyes.

"I still love you even if you hurt me. It's a problem."

After having a family dinner, plus Fin, Olivia took the boys up and put them to bed. Elliot went up and said his goodnights and I love you to the boys before going downstairs. He saw Fin out, and the detective was angry to see Elliot at the house but he didn't say a thing because he didn't want to hurt Olivia, and then Elliot went back into the house and waited for Olivia. She came down the stairs and looked at him.

"The boys seemed happy to see you."

"They said they loved me, which I haven't heard that in a while." He breathed.

"Elliot, how you approached our separation was wrong. You talked about me as if I was the worse person in the history of the world. You know how much those boys loved me, yet you continued to make it seem like there was no reason they should love me." Olivia frowned a bit.

"I'm sorry, Liv. I really am." He whispered. He stood up and ran his hand over the back of his neck.

"Yeah, well as more of an apology to me, stop sleeping around. And if you want to even try to be with me again, figure out your problems with Brian because he's not going anywhere. It wasn't his fault that we kissed, it was mine."
