For everyone who has read and is still reading my other stories I am starting this story with a lower rating (I'm gonna try and do one without as much smut if possible). However if I find the story line changing then I will alter the rating lol.

Story is set six months after the birth of Eli. Elliot has left SVU and moved to Computer Crimes so he can spend more time with the kids. He still keeps in touch with everyone, and him and Olivia are still close.

Chapter 1

"That's it" said Olivia closing a file and slamming it down on the desk, "I have finished my paperwork, and it's only just after 8pm."

"Yeah whatever" mumbled Fin from behind his computer screen, "I've still got over half a case file to go."

"Well as much as I would love to stay I am going home to a hot bath and a bottle of wine as I have a day off" she smiled grabbing her coat off the back of the chair.

"Oh you think so do you? Asked Munch grabbing her car keys off the desk and throwing them to Fin. Fin caught them laughing and dangling them in front of his face.

"You aint goin anywhere baby girl without these" he teased her.

"Hand them over now, Fin" Olivia said trying to grab them. Fin laughed at her hiding the keys behind his back "I swear to god Fin if you don't hand them over so I can get out of here you will have to arrest me after I cut off your balls" she threatened him trying to grab them from behind his back.

"Hey…Hey no need for the threat of violence" he laughed. Olivia made a grab for him and the next thing he knew she had him pinned to the desk face down.

"I think these are mine" she said taking the keys out of his hand. She heard Munch laughing at his desk.

"Can't believe you tried to take on Badass Benson" he chuckled. Olivia glared at Munch letting Fin stand up.

"Olivia" said a young voice from the entrance to the squad room.

Olivia looked over "Lizzie, Dickie what you doin here?" she asked Elliot's kids.. They were both stood holding a bag each, and Olivia could tell they had been crying.

"Can we come to stay at yours tonight?" asked Dickie.

"We can't and don't want to go home" carried on Lizzie.

Olivia looked at the two teenagers stood before her and walked over to them.

"What's happened?" she asked them "Where's your Dad".

They both shook their shoulders and Lizzie started to cry again.

"We don't know Olivia it was awful" she sobbed. Dickie put his arm around her shoulder trying to comfort her.

"We didn't know who else to come to" Dickie said looking at Olivia.

"Okay come with me" she said talking their bags off them "We will go upstairs and talk" she pushed the two kids in front of her towards the stairs.

"Find El" she mouthed to Fin who nodded picking up the phone.

"Can I get you both a soda?" she asked as they sat down round the table, they both shook their heads Lizzy had stopped crying and was wiping the tears away on her sleeve.

"What's happened Guys, where's your Dad and Mom?"

"Mom is still at home.."

"The Bitch" said Dickie under his breath, Olivia glance over at him and seen the hate in his eyes when he said it

"…we don't know where Dad went. It was awful Olivia….poor Dad."

"You need to tell me what has happened, has someone been hurt, did someone come to the house and threaten you."

They both shook their heads.

"Dad just found out tonight that he isn't Eli's Dad…Mom slept with someone else and lied to him this full time." Dickie said slamming his hand down on the table. "How could she do this to us, to Dad." He cried.

Olivia reached forward and held Dickie's hand. She couldn't believe what she was hearing, Eli wasn't Elliots.

"How do you know all this did Kathy tell him?"

"Huh your joking aren't you…..Dad had to hear it from a stranger who came to the door tonight in a Marines uniform asking to see his son Eli" said Dickie. "He said he was just back from Afghanistan and asked to see Kathy, Mom didn't know what to do she just stood there staring at him then Dad. Dad grabbed hold of him and asked him what the hell he was going on about. He got a photo of Eli out his wallet and showed Dad. He then looked at Mom saying he was sorry and when she had told him she was pregnant he couldn't handle it cause he was about to leave for Afghanistan, but he was home now and wanted to be part of his sons life."

"Dad pushed him out the door and slammed it shut and told us to go into the other room with Eli. We heard him asking her if it was true, she was crying all she kept saying was that she was sorry, and she loved Dad. Dad lost it and picked up a chair and threw it across the table smashing everything, calling her and evil selfish Bitch" said Lizzie taking over the story from her brother. Who sat with his arm around her as they recalled what happened.

"Dad came into the living room and grabbed his coat and keys. He kissed us and Eli on the forehead said he loved us and walked out, we heard his car pull away" said Dickie. "Mom came in from the kitchen crying saying she was sorry it was all mistake,but no sooner had Dad left than there was a knock on the door, it was him back asking to see Eli now that the thug had left the house. Mom ordered us both upstairs, we both said no but she started screaming at us so we did."

"I tried to call Dad but his cell phone was turned off" said Lizzie. "So we packed a few things and sneaked out, as I went past the living room him and Mom were sat on the chair and he had hold of Eli, it made me feel sick….we didn't know where else to go so we came to you."

Olivia just sat there stunned at what the kids had told her. Elliot had voiced his concerns after a case once about whether he was Eli's Dad but Kathy had sworn that he was. Elliot had gave up a job he loved to make her happy because he thought it was best for Eli.

"We hoped Dad would of come to you" said Lizzie "It's always you he comes to when he is upset or in trouble. We just don't want to go home not without him."

"Okay what I need to do first is try and find your Dad, but I'm gonna have to tell your Mom where you are incase she reports you missing. Does Katherine or Maureen know what's happened?"

They both shook their heads "Kat is away with College and Maureen didn't answer her phone."

"Right…..I want you both to stay here whilst I call your Mom, then I will try to contact Maureen. Fin is busy trying to get in contact with your Dad." She got up from the table and headed downstairs dreading the call to Kathy.

"Any luck with El?" she asked Fin

"Nah nothing, what the hell has happened?"

"Elliot just found out Eli isn't is". She said picking up the phone "Dickie and Lizzie are refusing to go back home unless Elliot is there, so I have the great job of informing Kathy". She said dialing Kathys number into the phone.

"That Bitch" said Munch trying Elliot's number again and hanging up when he got the answer phone again.

Olivia held the phone as it started to ring dreading the conversation she was about to have.

"Hello"

"Hi Kathy, it's Olivia"

"What do you want" she snapped "Elliot isn't here."

"Erm that's okay either of you will do…Dickie and Lizzie are here at the station house their both a bit upset"

"Their what!" She screamed down the phone "They just sneaked out, I didn't even know they had gone".

"Well their both a bit upset and saying they don't want to go home tonight"

"Did they tell you why?"

"No" she lied "They just said there was some trouble at home and asked to stay at mine for the night"

Kathy went quiet for a while "Erm yeah okay, fine….I will speak to them tomorrow" she said hanging up.

Olivia put the phone down and sighed, looking at Fin and Munch "It was easier to lie" she said they both nodded. "Look I want to get these kids back to mine can you go over to the university and find Maureen and bring her back to mine, I will get in touch and let her know what has happened, I reckon they could do with their big sister".

Olivia got through to Maureen and explained what had happened after she called her mother a few choice words she said she would get ready and wait for Fin and Munch and meet Olivia at her apartment.

Olivia grabbed the twins and left the station stopping on the way to pick up Pizzas and soda, they arrived at the same time as Maureen. She grabbed her younger brother and sister and gave them a hug giving Olivia a sad smile and mouthing thank you to her.

As the younger kids sat in front of the TV and ate pizza Olivia and Maureen stood in the kitchen talking.

"Can you think of anywhere your Dad might go to be alone?" Olivia asked her "His cell phone is still turned off."

"I don't know" she replied "normally if he is upset or pissed off he either goes to the station or comes here to you" she said smiling at Olivia.

"What about someplace special to you kids and him, somewhere he might have taken you?"

Maureen that for a while "The beach" she said "by the pier, they night Katherine was born he took me there for a camp out just the two of us. It was his way of letting me I was still special to him even though I had a sister. He also took me and Katherine when the twins were born, then all four of us when Eli came along." Maureen quickly scribbled down directions for Olivia.

"There are blankets and pillows in the cupboards" she said grabbing her car keys.

"Olivia look after him" Maureen smiled at her as she closed the door.

Olivia pulled her car up next to Elliot's and turned of the lights and engine. She climbed out and climbed up the sand dune and looked down at the beach and to the small fire burning not far from the shore line, Elliot sat not far from it drinking from a bottle. She walked down the beach towards and stood just outside the glow of the fire.

"I wondered how long it would take you to find me" he said taking another drink from the bottle.
