Ok so here it is the first chapter! This is a SEQUEL TO LOVE IS WHAT MATTERS MOST, read it or this won't make sense!

"Good morning." Elliot smiled rolling over to his wife.

"Morning." She smiled. "Is it time to get up?" She asked rubbing her head against her husband's neck.

"Not quite yet but seeing as the kids are still asleep..." Elliot smiled and he began to slowly nibble on Olivia's ear.

"Oh yeah?" Olivia smiled and she turned around to face him. She kissed him passionately not caring for morning breath, but that's what eight years of marriage would do to a person.

"Happy anniversary." Elliot smiled climbing on top of Olivia.

"Happy anniversary." She smiled back as he leaned down and kissed her.

They'd both fallen asleep after having sex the night before so there were no clothes to pull off. Elliot started following the line of Olivia's body with his finger, he paused slowly on her nipple and she groaned softly as they ached and hardened at his touch. He then followed the same pattern with his lips slowly kissing every inch of her skin. Slowly he slipped inside of her and she arched her back as a reaction. They began the aged old dance they had been doing for many years. After a while she flipped him over so that she lay on top of him.

"You didn't think I was going to let you have all the fun?" She asked bending down and kissing him passionately on the lips. Once again they were moving in unison Olivia slipped her hands into Elliot's so that they interlocked and she pushed them above his head. He pressed his mouth to her bare breast as they continued to dance. She groaned softly as he called out her name and together they reached their climax.

"Now it's happy anniversary." Elliot panted with a big grin as Olivia laid her head on his chest as she caught her breath.

"Yes it is." She smiled.

The alarm clock on the bedside table began to ring and Olivia climbed over to switch it off. She slipped Elliot's NYPD t-shirt over her head and headed into their en suite.

"Liv come back to bed!" Elliot groaned.

"I need to get ready before waking the kids up." Olivia shouted back as she switched on the shower. She brushed her teeth as she waited for the water to heat up and then pulled off the t-shirt before climbing into the warm water. She hadn't been stood there for two minutes when Elliot joined her.

"El." She laughed as he pushed her against the wall and began to kiss her.

"What? I can't help it that you're so beautiful and I find it difficult to keep my hands off you." He smiled as he began, once again, kissing down her neck.

"I know, I want to ravish you too but we have to get ready for work." Olivia sighed.

"Just one more time?" Elliot asked.

"No come on El. I need to wash my hair." Olivia said gently pushing him away.

"Ok!" He sighed and slowly they both washed and got dressed.

Olivia arrived the kitchen just as Serena walked downstairs.

"Morning Mommy." She said rubbing her eyes.

"Morning Serena, what do you want for breakfast?" She asked as her daughter sat at the dining table.

"Coco Pops." She said.

"With a glass of orange juice?" Olivia asked. Serena just nodded her head as she slowly woke up. Elliot came down carrying Cassie and Craig was right behind them.

"Do you want coco pops Craig?" Olivia asked as she poured some juice into Serena's glass.

"Yes please." Craig smiled taking his seat beside Serena and Elliot placed Cassie into her high chair.

"She's getting too big for this chair." Elliot smiled as his daughter giggled at him.

"I know." Olivia smiled bringing over Serena and Craig's glasses and passing a beaker over to Cassie.

"Your Coffee is on the side." She said to Elliot as she placed her children's breakfast in front of them.

"Cassie please don't make a mess ok?" Olivia smiled as she sat with her kids to drink her tea.

"Mommy what have I got after school today?" Serena asked not taking her eyes away from her breakfast.

"You have Piano so Mrs Thomas will pick you up from school and then Mo will come get you at four thirty and you'll have tea there. Craig you have soccer and are going to Jordan's house Mo will pick you up when it's time ok? Please don't forget." Olivia smiled knowing her kids would get panicky if they didn't know exactly what was going to happen during the day.

"Are we staying in Mo's house tonight Mom?" Serena asked.

"Yes because it's Mommy and Daddy's anniversary." Olivia replied.

"What's an anniversary?" Craig asked.

"Well its Mommy and Daddy's eighth anniversary and that means we got married eight years ago today." Olivia explained to her five year old.

"Oh."

"I'm done." Casey said wiping her mouth.

"Put your bowl in the dishwasher and go and get changed, your school uniform is folded on the chair in your room." Olivia shouted the ending as Serena was pounding up the stairs.

"I'm done too." Craig said climbing from the seat and taking his bowl and glass to the dishwasher.

"Go tell Daddy to help you get ready whilst I get Cassie ready." Olivia smiled as her son also made his way to the stairs.

Olivia finished what was left of her tea and took her mug, Cassie's bowl and her beaker to the dishwasher.

"Right you!" Olivia smiled pulling her daughter from the high chair.

"It's time for you to be washed and dressed." Olivia smiled and Cassie giggled happily.

"Mommy." Cassie smiled.

"What is it darling?" Olivia asked as she carried Cassie upstairs to the room she shared with Serena.

Her daughter said nothing but planted a kiss on her Mother's cheek. Olivia grinned happily as she placed Cassie down on Serena's bed.

"Serena!" Olivia shouted.

"Yeah?" Serena called rushing into her bedroom. She had her toothbrush in one hand and toothpaste all around her mouth.

"Don't forget your piano music." Olivia smiled passing the book to her daughter.

"Thanks Mom." She smiled before running back to the bathroom.

Olivia quickly washed and dressed Cassie and took her to the play room whilst she got the diaper bag ready.

"Liv! Do you know where Craig's shoes are?" Elliot called from upstairs.

"Check the laundry basket! He put them in there last week!" Olivia yelled back. It was a typical Monday morning in the Stabler household.

Xxx

They finally left the house right on time. They dropped Serena and Craig off in the bus stop.

"Don't let go of his hand till the bus arrives ok!" Olivia called as her kids climbed out of the car.

"I won't Mom." Serena called back, it was the same thing Olivia had said every morning since the start of the semester having only just decided to allow her kids to get the bus.

They then dropped Cassie off in day care and then headed off to work together.

"Peace at last." Elliot smiled as they left the day care parking lot.

"We're only two minutes away from the precinct so enjoy it whilst it lasts." Olivia smiled.

"I know, I wonder what case we'll have today, it was pretty quiet over the weekend." Elliot sighed.

"I know, I got some work done on the Alexander case." Olivia said as she turned into the precinct parking lot.

"I thought that case was cold." Elliot said as he undid his seat belt.

"Yeah, but it was quiet and she called again to ask if we had anything, so I decided to look at it again." Olivia explained.

"Oh and what did you find?" Elliot asked as he took his wife's hand.

"Well do you remember she said when he choked her he'd pressed his thumb into her neck, well I had a look in the database and found that we had a case a few years ago, a girl found dead with the same thumb print as she had on the neck." Olivia explained.

"Ok and what happened in that case?" Elliot asked.

"Well we never caught the guy but we do have his semen." Olivia replied.

"Oh so ...?"

"I'm going to go back through our suspects on the Alexander case and see if they would be so kind as to hand their DNA over, or find a reason to get a warrant." Olivia smiled.

"You're so clever." Elliot said kissing his wife on the head as they walked into the squad room.

"Good morning." Munch said sitting at his desk with a mug of coffee.

"Morning Munch." Olivia and Elliot chimed as they went to their own desks. Olivia sat down and grabbed her mail as Fin came in.

"Any new cases?" Fin asked sitting at his desk.

"Nope it's been a very quiet weekend." Elliot replied as he logged into his computer.

"Nice. I'm not complaining." Fin said. They all preferred a 'quiet' period it meant no girl was being raped, no child being abused, and they all preferred it like that.

"Aww El!" Olivia smiled. Everyone turned to look at her and Elliot just grinned.

Olivia went round to his desk and put her arms around his neck.

"I love you." She smiled kissing the side of his head.

"Don't let Cragen see you." Fin said knowing they got into a lot of trouble for being husband and wife in work.

"What is it Olivia?" Munch asked.

"Well rather than giving me my anniversary card he mailed it to me here instead." Olivia smiled. He was such a romantic.

"Oh yeah! Happy Anniversary!" Munch smiled going into his desk drawer and pulling out the card he'd written for them days before, he was never any good at dates.

"Thanks Munch." Olivia smiled giving the card to Elliot to open.

"I'm looking for Mrs Olivia Stabler?" A voice called from the door.

"That would be me." Olivia said being surprised at being called Mrs Stabler when at work she was still Detective Benson.

The man approached her instead of saying anything he grabbed around her neck and turned her to face the squad room and placed a gun to his head.

"Drop your weapon!" Elliot called as he withdrew his own gun. Munch and Fin had done the same thing.

"Put your gun's down or I'll blow her pretty little head off!" The man yelled.

Olivia shut her eyes tight as she prayed for her life. All she could think about was Elliot and her children.

"Ok I'll put my gun down just tell us what you want!" Elliot said as she slowly placed his gun on the floor.

"I want you to find the person who killed my sister!" The crazed gun man yelled. "It's been two years and still you haven't found the person who raped and beat my sister till she died."

"What was her name?" Olivia asked, she was quite good at remembering cases.

"Sarah Lloyd." The gunman said.

"Your Joseph am I right?" Olivia asked having spent the weekend looking at that file along with the Alexander file.

"Yes!" The man began to sob. "I just want to know who killed my sister."

"Joseph, I am still trying to find him, I have been working on it all weekend." Olivia said.

"Liar!" He screamed.

"You have a gun to my head Joseph! Why would I lie to you now?" Olivia said as she fought back her own tears. She and Elliot kept their eyes fixed on each others.

"You're lying." He sobbed.

"I'm not, I found a link between your sisters case and an unsolved rape. I was going to go back to the woman who was rapped to find out if she knew your sister and go from there..."

Olivia didn't get to say anything else as all she heard was a gun shot.

"Liv!" Elliot yelled rushing to his wife side. She was lying underneath Joseph Lloyd. He pushed Joseph's body from his wife's.

"I'm fine El." She sobbed.

"Oh Liv I thought I'd lost you!" He cried as he pulled her into his arms.

"I'm ok, how's Joseph?" Olivia asked and Elliot couldn't help but smile, she was always thinking of other before herself.

"He's alive someone call a bus!" Fin yelled.

"Why do you care? He had a gun to your head Liv." Elliot cried.

"I know but he just wants the person who killed his sister brought to justice, I'm sure he was about to put the gun down." Olivia explained.

"You can't be sure he wouldn't have pulled that trigger Olivia, and what about me? What about Serena and Craig and Cassie?" Elliot cried.

"I'm sorry." Olivia said pressing her head into Elliot's chest. "Who shot him?" She asked.

"Me." Captain Cragen said stepping towards them.

"Oh Captain." Olivia said.

"You're going to the ER and no don't argue with me you have a nasty gash on your head." Cragen said before going towards his office. "NOW OLIVIA." He yelled.

Elliot helped his wife to her feet.

"Wait a moment." She said before going over to her desk. She opened the top drawer and grabbed the two files that she had been looking at all weekend and took them with her down to the car. As she was about to open the door a shooting pain shot through her body from her stomach. She called out and dropped the files she was holding as she doubled over in pain.

"Liv?" Elliot asked coming to her side.

"I'm fine El." She whimpered.

"No you're not come on we need to get you to the emergency room." Elliot said helping his wife into the car. He felt sick himself seeing his wife in so much pain.
