Elliot stared at his wife with wide eyes, his hands shaking as he struggled to process what Olivia said. They hadn't planned on having a baby for a while, yet now Olivia is pregnant and struggling with her mental health.

"How far along?"

"Ten weeks..." Olivia trailed off. Elliot nodded slowly as he stared into their dark backyard. He could barely make out the yellow of the slide.

"So you were pregnant on our rescue mission in Miami?" Elliot asked, and Olivia nodded.

"Not super far along, but yes. Elliot, I don't know what is happening," Olivia breathed, tears burning her eyes.

"You're pregnant... That is what's happening."

Olivia shook her head as she stood and walked onto the grass. Elliot continued to sit and watched as Olivia paced. She was terrified of what would happen if she went through with this pregnancy.

"What if someone hurts us? The baby and I could meet our fate in our kitchen. The same kitchen we eat breakfast in and bake cookies with the girls," Olivia whispered. 

"Nothing will happen, Olivia. I promise. Not only will I protect you, but Agent Ford will as well. Okay?"

"It's hard to believe-" Olivia started, but Elliot interrupted her.

"I know you are struggling, but you gotta trust me. If you can't trust me, we will not make it."

Olivia turned to her husband, her eyes wide.

"So you want to get a divorce because I'm struggling?"

"Don't put words in my mouth, Liv. We will work through what's bothering you and welcome a beautiful baby late this year. I just need you to figure out a way to put your trust in me, no matter how hard it can be."

Olivia didn't sleep that night. Instead, she ran laps around their neighborhood until the sun rose. As she walked into their home, Elliot came downstairs dressed and ready to search for his wife.

"Where the hell did you go?!" Elliot yelled. Olivia froze in the open doorway, her body shaking as she remembered all the times Hugo would yell at her. He'd yell at her no matter what she did or didn't do.

"I-I went for a run."

"A run for five hours?!" Elliot yelled.

"I-I took breaks," Olivia whimpered, tears streaming down her cheeks.

"You can't just go do whatever you want without telling me! Hugo's men are still out there and what if one found you on the run? Your stupidity could have gotten our kid killed!" Elliot screamed, his hand slamming against the railing of their stairs.

Olivia took a slow breath, her head hung as she heard movement upstairs. She gnawed on her lip as Elliot stomped to her.

"You cannot be irresponsible just because you're crazy! Do you understand me?!" Elliot yelled.

Olivia didn't respond as she took her husband's anger and kept her eyes focused on the scuffs on her running shoes. Elliot grabbed her chin and jerked her head up as Olivia looked past him to where Rory and Macie stood with fear-covered faces. A switch flipped in her mind as she looked directly into Elliot's eyes.

"N-Not only did the cameras in our home pick up everything you just said and the way you are touching me, but my daughters did as well. Let me go and get out of here," Olivia spoke, her voice shaking.

Elliot's eyes went wide as he took a step back and turned to look at the girls.

"Rory... Macie-" He started, but he stopped when Olivia's phone rang. She pulled it from her pocket and turned it to face Elliot.

"He's watching us right now. Go cool off before you are the one hurting our child."

Elliot quickly grabbed his keys and stepped around Olivia to leave the house. Olivia quickly bolted the front door and rushed to her daughters. She held them tightly as they sat on the floor at the bottom of the stairs.

Agent Ford came over and was beyond angry at Elliot for how he had treated Olivia. He insisted he get arrested, but Olivia kept saying no. 

"Olivia, he yelled at you and hurt you!" Ford exclaimed, as Olivia stood in front of the sliding glass door and watched her daughters run around. 

"I'm pregnant, and I told him last night. Elliot didn't mean to hurt me, I know that deep down. He's overwhelmed because not only am I pregnant, but he has had to take care of everything because I'm so anxious and depressed. He broke, and I know he'll come back and apologize. I'll try harder to pull my weight, and as long as I don't have a hit out on me... I will be having a baby in December. Okay?"

Ford shook his head as he paced the living room. Not only did he almost let Olivia get murdered by Hugo twice, but now he was going to walk out of this house and let Olivia deal with her husband.

"If he touches you again, I won't let him get away with anything. I will be watching those cameras and making sure he doesn't fuck up, got it? Don't try to turn them off, got it?" Ford warned.

"I promise. He'll be back soon and we can talk."

Ford looked out the back door and saw Olivia's daughters watching them closely.

"Don't forget about the girls, Olivia. They have been through so much in the last few months... They don't need to watch their mother get abused again by the man they thought they could trust."

Olivia took Ford's words to heart, but knew she had to give Elliot another chance. She kept telling herself that Elliot wasn't Hugo and never would be. He wasn't capable of being a murdering monster.
