This is a previous Bensidy story I posted, I have revamped it to bring it to present day, I've added Noah and changed it around to Tuckson. For those of you who have not read my stories, you should know that I am a huge Simon fan, and he usually makes his way into my stories one way or another and he's always a good guy.
"You have to talk to him"
"Oh, Ok Simon and say what exactly? Oh Yeah Hi Ed, I know you dumped me and all, but my stupid ass sort of fell for you, and I'm lonely, and desperate, and my son calls you daddy and Fucking cries for you at night so if you could come back that'd be great."
"Hey, if that's what it takes" Simon replied ducking the throw pillow his sister dodged at his head.
"Simon! He doesn't wanna be with me anymore, he dumped me!" She exclaimed!
"Oh Olivia Please! You and I both know that is as far from the truth as you can get. He's scared Liv... Scared, and jealous, and he Loves you. and that night he walked into your apartment and saw umm... "clears his throat" what he saw, it was probably all the poor guy could do to keep from throat punching someone... and honestly I don't blame him!"
"Who's side are you on?!" Olivia asked
"I am always on your side, your my sister. I'm just saying from my perspective, you made a mistake, and neither one of you truly wanted this breakup, and your both Miserable, so why not just talk it out?"
"I did not make a mistake! Barba showed up at my apartment blasted on Patron and kissed me! Ed walked in the second it happened and assumed I was about to get it on with another ADA!
"Simons eyes widened" What do you mean another ADA?
'' rolls her eyes"" Just forget it "she sighed"
He wants me to quit SVU and I can't so what's left to say to each other... Wait a minute, how do you know he's miserable? Have you talked to him?" She asks raising an eyebrow
He looked like a little kid who just got busted "I"
Just then they saw the front door to Simons apartment open. Tracy came through the front door with little Olivia hot on her heels.
"Aunt Livvy!" She screamed as she hurled herself across the couch and into her Aunts arms
"Hi Toots'" Olivia chuckled
"Hey Liv, what's up?" Tracy said as she made her way to the counter with the groceries"
"We were Uh just talking about Things" Simon stuttered
Lucy looked up and saw both of them "you were arguing weren't you?" She asked
There was no arguing, I was just trying to assist my sister in pulling her head out of her ass!" Simon smirked
Olivia rolled her eyes "Real mature Asshole" she spat still holding Olivia
"Ummm… Mommy, Aunt Livvy said Asshole * little Olivia exclaimed pointing her finger at Liv
"Crap! Livvy I'm sorry don't ever say that word again, ok?" Liv said
Tracy Smirked "Simon why don't you Livvy to watch Tv, let Liv and I have a chat " she smiled
Tracy sat down on a barstool and patted the one next to her for Liv to sit
"Spill it "
"Spill what? You already know what happened, I got dumped" Liv said popping a potato chip into her mouth.
"So you really haven't talked to him?" Tracy asked disappointed
"He texts every once in a while, and asks how I'm doing" she whispers shyly
*now does that sound like a guy who's over you?" Tracy replies with a smirk
Olivia throws her hands into the air "what am I supposed to do? Huh, quit my job and ride off into the sunset?" She replied sarcastically.
"No, I know life or love for that matter is not that simple, but I think that you should at least talk to him. Because I got news for you Sister, read my lips, He's the one, and it would make me really sad to see you just give him up for that stupid ass ADA who doesn't know the meaning of personal space" Tracy sighed and saw her sister in law starting to tear up.
Barba isn't a bad guy... just impulsive, and a dumb shit when he's drunk "she sighed"
"You know Liv, Simon and I have been telling you for weeks this was wrong, and I know better than anyone that your brother can be a pushy Ass, but I just realized neither one of us have even bothered to ask you what you want, so what do you want? Tracy asked.
Olivia had tears brimming her eyes just waiting to spill over. Finally, she just sighed and said.
"I want Ed"
And that did it, the water works started, Tracy walked to her friend and put her arms around her.
"So go get him" she whispered to Liv.
Olivia pulled back and wiped her eyes.
"Ok so let's just pretend I'm gonna go over there and tell him how I feel what then? Hmm Trace, I still work SVU, I'm still around Barba every day, which is the problem! Ill eventually get my heart stomped on all over again, it really hurt watching Ed walk away from me the first time, it'll kill me if I have to see it twice!" She was yelling and pacing.
"If nothing else Liv, you both need closure. Because if it is truly over, and that's a big if, you need to civilly say goodbye, so you can both move on." Tracy touched her friends shoulder as she turned and walked to her bedroom.
Tracy closed her bedroom door and took her phone out of her pocket to text Simon
"She's crying; I think we're getting through to her "-send
"Geez Trace, I didn't tell you to make her cry" -send
"Well this is how she's gonna realize their not done. How's it going on your end?" -send
"We're at Coyote Ugly"- send
"Really Simon? You took Ed to a bar filled with half naked college girls? Dumbass" -send
"Shockingly he ain't even looking, he's actually talking to me about it, so I'll call you when I leave" -send
Simon turned back around to face Tucker
"Sorry man, Tracy's gotta keep tabs on me" Simon laughed
"It's okay, be thankful you have her and she cares" Ed replied sadly and took another swig of his beer
"I'm sorry Ed, I wasn't even thinking" Simon sighed
Ed just nodded
"Ed you do know she cares, right?" Simon asked him
"God Simon, just rub it in why don't you"
"I was talking about Liv, Man!" Simon chuckled
"I thought we weren't gonna talk about it?" Ed smirked
"Look, I wasn't going to but she's my sister and she's in pain, and she obviously ain't gonna stand up for herself, so I'm gonna do it for her" Simon told him
He just nodded
"She loves you, doesn't that mean anything?" He asked
Ed whipped his face up to look at Simon
"Yeah Simon, it does. It means everything. This has nothing to do with Love, there's plenty of it between the two of us, or atleast I thought there was. I lost her, man. That son of a bitch wanted to take her from me, and I almost had to watch him do it"
"So you leave her? The one person in this world she needs the most just abandons her? She didn't wanna kiss that guy, he was drunk and he took a leap, she swears that she was pushing him away, you just walked in before she could. I'm not trying to piss you off, I'm just trying to understand why your letting this one little thing destroy you both. " Simon asks frustrated
"Because I love her!" Ed snapped a little too loud
"I love her, and that scares the hell out of me. Her and I have the power to demolish each other, our past isn't very pretty, we hated each other, and im scared of that again. I am so Fucking in love with your stubborn, bull headed, impossible sister, that I can't think straight. She makes my god damn head spin, and it's been that way for the past twenty years"
Simon smirked "so what are you doing talking to me, go tell her"
"Because she still works SVU, she has to work with him everyday, what if it goes farther next time? Ive been burned like that before, and it took me twenty years and your sister to get over it enough to be a decent human being again. ''Ed replied sadly''
"Tucker Listen, everything is a risk.. You need to realize that, you both want a no risk guarantee before you take a chance, and it just doesn't work that way buddy, I know my sister, I know what kind of person she is, shes not going to deliberately hurt you, shes not going to cheat on you because she loves you, she has said those words to you, and when she says those words she means them. Don't let this stupid shit stand in the way of your happiness."
By the look on Ed's face, it seemed as though Simons words were really hitting him.
Ed took a couple twenty's out of his wallet and tossed them onto the bar standing up
"Come on" he told Simon
"Where we goin?" Simon asked confused
Ed smiled at him and simply stated "to find your sister"
Simons whole face lit up as he stumbled toward the door quickly
When they walked through the front door Liv was on the floor playing with "mini Liv" her back toward the door.
Simon looked at Ed saw a smile spread across his face. The two just stood and watched until Olivia looked up and saw them.
"Tuckwer!" She jumped up and ran towards him, while Liv whipped her head around to see Ed standing with her brother, as her niece wrapped her tiny arms around his
Wh..What are you doing here ? Liv asked almost shyly.
Simon spoke up. "Liv, let's let Aunt Livvy and Ed talk for a minute" he said taking his daughter from Ed.
"But Daddy, I wanna see Twuck!" She pouts
"Sweetie let me talk to Aunt Livvy for a few minutes and then I promise ill come find you, okay?"
"Otay" she giggled, Liv watched as Simon took Livvy into the bedroom and then turns back to Ed.
"So..what are you doing here? And why do I have this sneaking suspicion you've been sneaking around with my brother?" She asked crossing her arms across her chest. ''Switching teams?'' she smirked
"Your intuition was always dead on Liv" He rolled his eyes "
Where's Noah? ''he asked looking around
Sleepover at Amanda's, with Jesse…
'' He nodded, taking a deep breath''
I've just been thinking about things...about us" he said
"There is no us, Remember you left me?" she stated clearly agitated
"I know your angry at me, and you probably hate my guts right now"
"I could never hate you Ed" she interrupted.
"I'm sorry. I was. I was scared when I walked into the apartment that night and saw... And saw what I saw. I thought my whole world was gonna end" he stepped closer to her and places his hands on the sides of her face "you...you are my whole world Liv"
Olivia's breath hitched as soon as his hands touched her face, she closed her eyes and the tears began to fall.
"Don't cry… please don't cry right now" he wiped her tears and leaned in to place a kiss on her forehead.
"I love you" he whispered against her head. "I am completely Fucking in love with your stubborn, infuriating Ass, and I can't live another day without you, can you ever forgive me?" He asked hopefully.
Forgive you? Im the one who fucked up.. royally, I am so sorry I never should have let him in like that. '' she wiped her eyes
Stop.. Just say it '' he whispered softly
She smiled "I love you too Ed.. Don't ever do this to me again"
He held her face tighter in his hands "I swear to you, this is it, no more games, no more running, I swear, and I know how important SVU is to you, and I know that Barba is your friend, I can deal with it ok? But if it ever happens again, I swear I will Cut him" he said and she nodded with a chuckle.
He couldn't wait anymore, he smiled at her, leaning forward smashing his lips against hers. He held onto her face with one hand, wrapping the other around her waist, pulling her as close against him as he could get her. She wraps both of her arms around his neck, running her fingers through his hair.
"Mm mm... You done talking?" She asked with a grin as he started a trail of kisses down her neck.
"Mhmm, my lips are busy" He smiled bringing his lips back to her mouth, slipping his tongue in.
"I want you so bad right now" he whispered against her mouth.
She smiled and pulled back "we're in Simons living room, and you promised to go see Olivia, and I'm pretty sure she's gonna want a tea party, maybe make you wear a tiara" she smirked.
He groaned "tell ya what, I'll go hang out with the munchkin for a while, then we'll get outta here ok?" He smiled.
"Deal" she whispered against his lips, kissing him one last time before pulling away.
Ed started walking towards the bedroom to get Olivia, and turned back around to face Liv "you might wanna lay down and take a nap"
"Why?" She asked confused.
"Because I can guarantee, you are not getting any sleep tonight" he smirked and walked away.
