Olivia woke up with a pounding headache. She woke up to an unfamiliar surrounding. This wasn't her bedroom. She held her head and all the memories of last night came back. "No no no!" She mumbled and looked under the sheet covering her. Sure enough she was naked. She mentally kicked herself. What the hell is wrong with you Olivia! She yelled at herself and then she heard a groan beside her.
She froze and slowly looked to her right. Ryan was laying there, Olivia jumped up and ran to the bathroom grabbing all of her discarded clothes. This couldn't be happening. She didn't mean to sleep with him, she was married! She was drunk and pissed off at Elliot. She quickly got dressed, she grabbed her bag and left.
How was she going to tell Elliot? She messed up big time. This could cost her, her marriage, the kids. She got into a cab, she didn't know what she was going to do. Maybe she wouldn't tell him. It would be easier and she wouldn't have to ruin their marriage.
The cab had pulled up to the house. Olivia took a breath before opening the door and paying the driver. She walked up the stairs leading to the door, this was defiantly the walk of shame.
Elliot has got up to an empty bed. He sighed. Maybe she just slept at Casey's, he thought. He got up for a normal day at work. He wore his usual work attire and went to Eli's room.
"Bud time to wake up." "Ugh dad I don't want to. Plus it's Saturday." "I know son but you have to go to Aunt Alex's. Mom and I have work." "Okay dad." Eli got up. Elliot smiled and walked to his little girls room. "Ella honey, wake up." "Mm daddy, too sleepy." She mumbled and covered her head with her pillow. "I know baby, but you have to. I'll make your favorite pancakes." "Okay daddy I up." She smiled and hugged him.
He hugged her and kissed her head. "Go get some toys and i'll start a bath for you." She nodded and ran to her toy box. He got up and headed downstairs to start breakfast. He was flipping pancakes when he heard the front door open. "Hey babe. Did you have fun last night?" He called out. "Um...yeah." She walked into the kitchen.
He turned to her, and put his arms around her waist. "I'm sorry baby, about last night." He said. "It's okay...i'm gonna go get ready." She pushed his hands away and walked towards the stairs. He stood there, something was wrong. He could feel it but couldn't figure out what it was. She wouldn't have just pushed him away like she just did, she smelt like a man's cologne, and she didn't even look at him.
Did he do something wrong?
Elliot shrugged it off and went back to making breakfast when the phone ring. He answered it
"Hello, Stabler residence." "Hey Elliot its Casey. Did Liv make it home okay last night?" "What are you talking about? Didn't she stay with you?" "Um...no. She left early. She told us that she had to go do something. We thought she was just going home. She didn't seem that intoxicated when she left."
Elliot stood there for a second letting all the information sink in. Olivia left early, she didn't come home, so where the hell did she go?
"Uh Elliot?" He heard from Casey. "Oh um, yeah she made it home. Was she with anyone last night?" "She was dancing with this one guy but that's it." Elliot felt his anger boiling and then tears building up. "Uh okay Cas. Bye I have to get the kids ready."
He hung up before hearing her say bye. He put the phone back and gripped the counter. He was mad. Hurt. How could she do this?
Olivia had gotten to the shower, she turned the hot water all the way up washing off all the memories of last night. She scrubbed herself til it turned red. She couldn't believe she did this. She got out getting ready for the day.
She checked on Ella, "Mama!" The little girl squealed. "Oh there's my baby girl." Olivia picked her up, twirling her around. The little girls giggle filing the room. Olivia loved hearing her kids laughing, she loved seeing them smile, hearing them call her 'mama, mommy,', getting their hugs and kisses. She loved being a mom. The thought of losing it all brought her to tears.
She truly made a horrible mistake that she could possibly lose everything. Olivia felt her tears well up. Ella noticed her mom's sadness "Mama?" Olivia cleared her throat and held the tears in. "Yeah baby?" "Why you sad?" "Oh uh no reason baby. I just never want to lose you and your brother or daddy." Ella kissed her nose "We not want to lose you mama." Olivia smiled.
"Okay baby, get all ready for Auntie Alex's house." The little girl nodded and went to her little bag picking toys to keep her occupied. Olivia walked down to the kitchen to see Elliot standing at the counter. She walked up behind him putting her arms around his waist from behind.
"Mhmm breakfast smells good." She kissed the back of his neck. She felt him tense up and then move her arms. "Don't you dare touch me." He gritted. "Elliot what's wrong?"
"What's wrong?! What'd wrong is that while I was at home with out kids you were off fucking someone! Tell me Olivia was he better? How long have you been cheating? How many other guys were there when you were with me?! Huh! Answer me Olivia!" He yelled.
She flinched "Elliot please i'm sorry. It was a mistake." Elliot scoffed "A mistake? Well it was a huge ass mistake. I can't even look at you right now." He grabbed his keys and walked out slamming the door behind him.
Olivia let the tears fall and sank down into a chair. Was this the final straw for them? Was this the reason they were gonna end? Because of her?
