One Boy One Girl. Chapter 1
It had been a hot day in New York SVU precint. Elliot Stabler was sitting at his desk talking with Casey Novak.
about a case that had everybody baffled. A few minutes later Captain Donald Cragen steps from his office.
"Elliot, I need to see you in my office now please." Cragen tells a suprised Elliot.
Elliot stands up from his desk, and walks to the door. "Please come in." Cragen tells him.
"What is it captain?" Elliot asks him.
Cragen looks out the window, and then turns around. "My niece is coming into town for awhile. I would like for you to be her escort. Take her out to dinner, show her around the city. I will be picking her up at the airport in about an hour." He tells Elliot.
Elliot looks at him in complete suprise. "Captain I don't think I'm ready to date again, not yet." Elliot tells Cragen.
"Elliot it's been two years since you and Kathy got a divorce and she took the kids with her to England. You need to get out live life a little." Cragen tells him.
Elliot looks over at the door. "Why don't you ask Fin or Munch to be your niece's date?" Elliot asks him.
"First of all Munch is old enough to be her father, and Fin is already seeing Melinda Warner. That leaves you Elliot." Cragen tells him.
Cragen pulls a picture from his desk. He hands it over to Elliot. "This is my niece Olivia." Cragen tells him,
as Elliot looks at the picture of a young woman with medium brown hair, and olive toned skin. Elliot agrees to take the captain's niece out on a date.
"Reservations have been made at Sophie's. I told Olivia to be there at 7:00pm. Don't be late." Cragen tells Elliot.
Elliot walks out of the office, and sits back down at his desk. "What did the captain want?" Fin asks me.
"He wants me to meet his niece at Sophie's for dinner tonight. Fin I don't know what to do, I am not ready to date yet." Elliot tells Fin.
"Hey about a double date. Melinda and me, you and the captain's niece... What is her name?" Fin asks Elliot.
"Her name is Olivia." Elliot tells Fin. He then realizes that he has the picture of her still in his pocket.
Elliot takes the picture from his pocket, and hands it over to Fin. "This is Olivia." Elliot tells him.
Fin shakes his head in agreement. He then looks over and sees Melinda standing there.
"Oh hi honey." Fin tells her.
"Hi Fin, Elliot how are things going today?" Melinda asks them.
"We are going to go out tonight on a double date with Elliot, and the captain's niece Olivia. She is suppose to meet Elliot at 7:00 at Sophie's." Fin tells her.
"Sounds good, I am going to go home, and take a hot shower." Melinda tells everybody.
"MMM sounds good. Think I will join you." Fin tells her, as he grabs his coat, and says good night to everybody.
He follows Melinda out of the precint.
Elliot grabs his coat, and waves goodbye to everybody before stepping out into the warm New York night. Elliot flags for a cab, he steps into the cab. "Where to?" the cabby asks him.
"13th and 180th avenue please." Elliot tells the driver.
30 minutes later Elliot arrives at his house, that him and Kathy and their five children had shared. The divorce had been a hard one. Elliot came home one evening two years ago, and found Kathy in bed with his ex-partner Chester Lake. Kathy got the divorce, and took their five children with her and Chester to England. Elliot looks at the pictures hanging on the wall, as he walks down the hallway to his bedroom. After his shower, Elliot slips on a pair of nice slacks and a polo shirt. He grabs his jacket from the hallway closet, and sets off walking to Sophies, for his date.
Elliot arrives at Sophie, he sees Fin and Melinda sitting at a table. He walks over and joins them.
"How long have you to been here?" Elliot asks them.
"We have only been here for a few minutes." Fin tells him.
"Has she shown up yet?" Elliot asks Fin impatiently."
"Please calm down. She will be here soon." Fin tells him, as he and Melinda get up and start dancing out on the floor.
Elliot stares at the door. He sees couples come in and out of the door. A few minutes later, as he is getting to leave the resturant. A young lady comes walking in, and bumps into Elliot.
"Oh I am so sorry." The young woman tells him.
"That's ok, my date hasn't shown up yet. I doubt she ever will." Elliot tells the young woman.
The young looks at him again. "You must be Elliot Stabler, my uncle said you may try and leave." The young woman tells him.
"You must be Olivia?" Elliot tells her, as he gives her a classic Stabler smile.
"Yes I am." Olivia tells him.
Elliot looks into her loving eyes. Maybe the captain was right, maybe it was time for him to date, and to get out more often. Maybe she would be the one for him.
