She won't know

Time Off

Olivia's POV

I'm late, great. Elliot's gonna give me shit because of it like every time I've ever been late.

I walk into the squad and see Elliot at his desk. I put a coffee next to him trying to make nice.

"Morning"

I look at him and it's not Elliot

"Oh I'm sorry..?"

He stands up holding his hand out

"I'm Owen, Owen Hunter"

I hesitated, who is he? Where's Elliot? Is his actual name Owen Hunter or is he another Kyle Monroe.

Be polite, shake his hand it'll be okay.

"I'm Olivia, Olivia Benson"

I meet his hand and give him a slight smile

"Oh you're Olivia? "

"Yes?"

"I'm gonna be your partner"

From the corner of my eye I see Cragen. I'm confused, hurt, and betrayed.

"Excuse me for a moment?"

"Yeah of course"

I go over to Cragen

"Captain-"

He turns around

"-Where's Elliot?"

"He's on leave Detective Hunter will be your partner for the time being"

"What happened?"

He looked at me for a second thinking

"..Get to work"

"Captain"

He ignored me as he returned to his office

Was it because of me? Is he taking a leave from me?

Tears start rolling down my cheeks

Why would he do this? Why would he leave without telling me and then stick me with another sub?

I pull out my phone going into the cribs. I speed dial Elliot's phone and it goes straight to voicemail

"Hi you've reached Detective Elliot Stabler. I'm busy at the moment, but leave a message and as soon as I can I'll get back to you."

Hi voice sounded like butter; soft and it cut right through me

"Hey El, its Liv. I'm at work and you're not here. -" I change my voice to a whisper "-if it's because of yesterday I'm sorry. Call me back we should talk, okay? Alright bye" I hang up

Elliot's POV

"Dickie go long!" I yell to my son as I hold a football in my hand watching my son running getting ready to receive my throw.

"Dad throw it already!"

"Alright!"

He almost messes up, but manages to catch it.

"Hey good job!"

I smile at him clapping as I walk over to my wife. I grab her from behind holding her. She jumps a little and I wrap my arms around her letting her know it's okay. I kiss her cheek. A day at the park with my family is exactly what I need.
