A/N: Okay so I am once more having a bad day; bad news of a personal nature mixed with a bad day at work. I was going through some funny pictures I have on my computer and came across this one and I decided to write. This little piece is what came from it. It's all unbeta'd, so please forgive the strange, probably OOC moments that there are. This is more of a FLUFF, aww, not to be taken too seriously piece. Anyways, thanks and I hope you like it. Defiantly made me feel better.

"Bored baby?" Olivia asked, bending down to kiss the golden crown peeking out from above the back of the couch.

"Kinda," Alex yawned, blinking her eyes to clear away the tears as they refocused on the television in front of her. "Though being stuck on house arrest for the last week has given me the chance to learn some awfully interesting things."

Olivia smirked, easily detecting the sarcasm in the lawyer's voice. "Oh yeah?" She asked, throwing her jacket on the back of the couch and slipping in beside Alex, pulling her close. "Like what?"

"Like did you know that penguins, once they find their mate, stay together for the rest of their lives?"

There was silence then Olivia turned her head away, hiding her smile, but her body was jerking slightly with silent chuckles. "Been hitting the Animal Channel again, baby?"

Alex narrowed her eyes, poking the brunette in the side. "Quiet you. One can only take so many soap operas and talk shows. Besides you know I like penguins. I think it's cute."

Olivia nodded, clearing her throat in a final attempt to swallow her mirth. "Well, Ms. Doolittle," This earned her another poke in the side. "What say we go out to dinner? The doctors said that you could start moving around a bit more. You up for it?"

"A chance to get out of this apartment? Yes," Alex said with obvious relief.

"I'm thought you liked my place," Olivia smirked, but she knew how even walls that could be comforting could become stifling if stared at too long.

"I do…but after nearly two weeks of only getting out of the house to go to the doctors, I'd be willing to do anything."

"Anything, hmm?" Olivia waggled her eyebrows, earning a sly smirk from her lover.

"Mmm, well as much as I'd love to, that requires staying in."

"Oh I don't know, I'm sure we can find a little out of the way spot at a restaurant or mmph," Olivia smiled behind the hand that slapped itself over her lips. She gave an innocent expression as Alex glared at her.

"Detective, I am not an exhibitionist. We tried that once, at the club remember?"

"Very much so," Olivia said when the hand finally moved away.

"You and the ten or so others that were by that bathroom."

"Hey, not my fault. You're just too loud," The detective replied, her smile growing lusty and smug as she did remember said event. They had been out celebrating their nine month anniversary and had gone to a local club. Close dancing mixed with plenty of alcohol, nips and kisses and forced the two fevered women into the bathroom. Olivia had pinned Alex to the stall wall and ravished her, much to the blonde's delight. But as Alex had screamed out her pleasure the door had swung open, letting everyone within earshot in the relatively quiet hall know.

Needless to say the blonde had turned bright red when they walked out to a group of wide smiles and the pats and cheers that Olivia was receiving. Olivia on the other hand had taken it in stride, even going so far as to turning at the end of the hall and giving a little bow. That had earned her a smack to the shoulder and many weeks of her having to apologize, though deep down she hadn't really been sorry, and she knew Alex knew that.

"Come back to earth, Liv. And wipe that smirk of your face," Alex grumbled, snapping her fingers in front of her girlfriend's face.

Olivia blinked rapidly, grinning slightly. "Sorry, what?"

"Uh huh. Are you going to feed me or simply day dream while I waste away over here?"

"Aww," Olivia chuckled, gently gathering her lover closer and kissing the nape of her neck, enjoying the shiver she felt skitter through the body in her arms. "Now we wouldn't want that. I have plans for you later."

"I shouldn't move that much, remember?" Alex asked, her blue eyes sparking with challenge at her lover, her own lips fighting to smile. She saw fire flashing in chocolate brown eyes and felt heat shoot straight to between her legs.

"Trust me, I'll be more then happy to do all the work," Olivia growled, nipping at the lobe in front of her, drawing a strangled gasp from Alex.

"Let's go now…before I don't want to move." Her only reply was a deep chuckle.
