…...
Elliot couldn't stand still, no matter what he tried to do. He tried sitting down, standing up, but no matter what he did he couldn't control the anxiousness he was feeling.
"Elliot, sit down will you? You're seriously driving me crazy." Kathy Stabler told her husband, as she watched him pace back and forth right in front of her.
"Sorry. I just can't help it." He confessed before taking a seat next to his wife. She had to smile at her husband, he was like a kid on Christmas who couldn't wait to tear open the presents underneath the tree.
Elliot's knee bounced up and down as he sat. Kathy smiled before placing her hand over his leg. "Just breath El. They should be here any minute."
And as she said that, the double doors that were just a few feet away from swung open, and two women dressed in flight attendance uniforms walked out, pulling their luggage behind them. Elliot jumped from his seat and nearly ran towards the doors. He watched as people began to file out of the door and into the larger room. His eyes scanned each face, frantically searching for just one in particular.
Just as the crowed began to thin out, a voice from behind him caused an involuntary smile to spread across his face.
"You look lost Detective." Quickly turning around, Elliot faced his partner for the first time in six months.
And without hesitation, Elliot scooped Olivia up in his arms and spun her around. Olivia let a slight yelp, before bursting into a fit of laughter.
"Elliot, put me down!"
When he finally did set her back down, he pulled back slightly and really took in her appearance. She looked good. Her hair was no longer the short style he had last seen her in, but was now longer and hung around her face. Her skin was slightly darker from sun, but she still had the same deep, brown eyes, and that heart warming smile. And there was a glow in her features that he had never seen before.
"Ah man, I missed you!" He said before pulling the woman into another bear crushing hug.
"I missed you too El." Olivia said returning the hug.
Six months ago when he got word that his partner was currently on a plane to Africa, he thought for sure he was being played. When he finally realized that his partner really was half way around the world, he was not a very happy man. And he was none to shy to tell Olivia just that when she had finally called him. But once he realized what had drove his partner to Africa, he couldn't be anything but proud and happy for her.
"Alright Elliot, let the girl breath for crying out loud." Kathy pulled her husband from Olivia. "Hey Liv, welcome home." Kathy smiled, giving Olivia a hug of her own.
"It's good to be home." Olivia said, pulling away from the hug and adjusting the bag on her shoulder.
"So where's Sidney?"
"She's right here." The doctor said coming to stand next to Olivia.
Sidney looked just as good as Olivia. Her copper colored hair was pulled up into her signature messy bun, her skin supporting a healthy tan, and her deep, green eyes shown brightly. And just like Olivia, she had a glow to her feature that was unmistakable.
"Hey." Kathy greeted the younger woman, also pulling her into a hug. "Did you two have a good flight?"
"Yeah, for the most part. But I for one am ready to fall into bed." Sidney confessed. She always hated this part when she traveled; getting used to the time differences. She turned to Elliot who had a hard look on his face. On the flight home Sidney was a little worried how Elliot would act towards her; seeing as she was the reason his partner had been gone for the past six months.
Swallowing her nerves, Sidney forced a smile. "Hello Detective." For a moment Elliot did not move, didn't even crack a smile. Olivia was about ready to intervene and tell him to get over it already, but the stern look he bore quickly vanished, replaced by a bright smile, and then a strong hug.
"Welcome home doc." Sidney breathed out a sigh of relief and returned the hug.
"So, you guys hungry? Seriously, when was the last time you two had a good old fashioned American burger and fries?" Elliot asked.
All three women couldn't help but laugh at excitement in his voice. Olivia swung her arm around Sidney's shoulders and was about to follow Elliot and Kathy out of the busy airport, when a medium sized man, in a three piece suite, and clear glasses stepped right in front of the pair.
"Dr. Sidney Hall?" The man asked looking between the two women.
"Yes, that's me." Sidney answered.
"Here you go ma'am." The man said, handing Sidney a crisp white envelope.
"Wait, what is this?" Sidney looked up. But the man was already have way across the room. She looked over at Olivia, who simply shrugged.
"Open it." She encouraged. Sidney slid her thumb under the seal and pulled out the letter.
After a few seconds of reading the contents, Sidney covered her mouth with her hand, and felt the blood drain from her face.
"What, what is it?" Olivia asked, clearly confused.
"I-I'm being investigated by the medical review board." She stuttered, not taking her eyes off the letter.
"What, what for?"
Sidney looked up at Olivia. "Medical-Mal-Practice." Olivia's eyes grew wide in surprise.
"Well…welcome home." Elliot said.
…...
"Thanks for the ride guys, I appreciate it." Olivia thanked Kathy and Elliot as she set her luggage down in her living room.
"Not a problem, we were happy to do it." Kathy smiled. "Plus, I think Elliot would have had a coronary if he didn't get to see you the minute you got off the plane."
"Ha-ha, funny." Elliot laughed dryly before dropping the rest of his partners bags on the ground. "Are you sure there isn't anything else you need?"
Olivia shook her head. "No. I'm just going to crash for a little bit and wait to hear from Sidney." The doctor had left from the airport and headed straight for the hospital to try and figure out what the hell was going on.
"Alright. Well keep us updated huh?"
"You got it." Olivia smiled at Elliot.
"Okay, see you tomorrow partner, you and I have stuff to catch up on." Elliot said pointing a finger at Olivia.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. See you tomorrow."
Olivia silently closed the door behind her retreating guests before securely locking the door. Surveying the multiple bags scattered on the floor, Olivia let out a long sigh. I'll take care of that latter, she decided. Alex had really been a god send; the ADA had not only taken care of informing her CO and partner of her sudden departure, but she had also talked Elliot into letting her into the detectives apartment so she could send some clothes as well.
Olivia made a mental note to stop by the lawyers office to personally thank Alex…and not just for the clothes.
Making her way further into her apartment, Olivia suddenly realized how glad she was to be home. She stepped into her bedroom and couldn't help but smile as she plopped down face first on top of her bed. She breathed in the familiar scent of her own pillow, and let her mind wander.
The six months she had spent in Africa had definitely been an eye opener for the detective. She had heard about how bad conditions were over there, she had seen the commercials and had even donated some money, but actually being there and seeing how little an average family had was phenomenal.
And then there was Sidney.
Olivia knew how good of a doctor she young woman was, but actually seeing her at work quite literally took her breath away. She was not only talented, but she had such compassion for her patience it was extraordinary. A blind man could have seen how much she enjoyed the work she was doing, and how passionate she became when doing her job; it was one of the many aspects of this remarkable woman that Olivia loved.
The past six months Olivia had gotten to know more about Sidney, and the more she did, the further she fell. And much to her surprise, Olivia found herself opening up to Sidney with such ease that it was unsettling at times.
Olivia smiled before closing her eyes. It was only two in the afternoon, but she was absolutely exhausted, so she figured a nice long nap was in order. Unfortunately, instead of falling right to sleep like she wanted to, Olivia found herself tossing and turning.
After another forty-five minutes, Olivia was about to skip the nap and force herself to do something productive, but she stopped when she heard the "click" of her front door's lock. Training her ears, she heard the soft padding of feet making their way through her apartment and towards her bedroom. She heard her bedroom door slowly creek open, and turning her head Olivia caught a glimpse of the beautiful doctor.
"Hey." Olivia said sleepily.
"Hey yourself. I didn't wake you did I?" Sidney asked as she made her way towards the bed and laid down on the other side of Olivia. Instantly, the detective turned her body and scooped the shorter woman into her arms.
"No, I'm just a little surprised to see you is all. I thought you were going to head back to your apartment." Olivia said softly, running her hand through Sidney's thick hair, pulling it out of it's secure bun, and letting it drape around the doctors shoulders.
"Mmm. I did." Sidney said while closing her eyes enjoying the feeling of the hand running through her hair. "But I couldn't fall asleep. I missed your cold feet too much." The doctor smirked.
"Hey! At least I'm not the one who snores like a freight train." Olivia teased back.
"I so do not snore!"
"Oh, you so do!" Both women giggled.
Olivia stared into the deep, green eyes that she had grown to love.
"So, what happened at the hospital?"
Sidney let out a long sigh, propped her head up with her hand and took Olivia's larger one into her own. "Do you remember that drunk driving accident I got called into just before we left?"
Olivia nodded. Oh yeah, she remembered that day. She also remembered going out of her mind when Sidney disappeared. If Jack had not been there Olivia was sure she would have lost it.
"Well, that son of a bitch kid that caused the whole thing, his daddy apparently is some big corporate executive of some company who has top dollar lawyers. And one of them decided they had a case not only against the hospital but one against me personally."
Olivia didn't like the sound of that. "But wait, I'm confused, you saved the kids life, what exactly could they be so upset over that they want to go after you?"
"Yeah, you would think that saving his life would count for something right." Sidney said dryly. Truth be told she was more pissed off than worried at this point. She felt Olivia tighten her grip on her hand, and immediately felt herself calm down. "I don't know Liv. I have to meet with the lawyers tomorrow, so I guess I'll find out then what this guy thinks he has on me."
Despite the conviction she heard in her voice, Olivia could see in Sidney's eyes that this was bothering her immensely. The accident had shook Sidney hard, and had her second guessing herself, something Olivia could relate to on so many levels.
"Sidney-."
"Liv, really I'm not that worried about this whole thing, angry yes, but not really worried. I did my job. No need to worry."
Olivia wasn't exactly sure who she was trying to convince. She knew first hand how devious lawyers can be.
"Are you going to need to hire a lawyer?"
Sidney shook her head. "The hospital has their own on stand by, precisely for this reason."
Olivia nodded. But instead of pushing the issue, she just brought her lips to Sidney's and kissed her tenderly. She pulled back and could see the familiar bright look return in the green eyes. Olivia smiled, and leaned down for another kiss, a deeper one. The brunette felt the throaty moan emit from the doctor and she quickly rolled on top of the smaller woman.
"Mmm, I thought you were tired?"
Olivia tore her mouth away from Sidney's slender neck and smiled down. "How could I possibly be tired when I have a sexy woman in my bed?"
Olivia reattached her mouth to Sidney's neck. She could feel her pulse begin to accelerate. She felt small hands making their way up her back, leaving goose bumps in their path. It always amazed Olivia how a simple touch from Sidney could make her body react in such a powerful way.
Olivia snuck her own hands under the loose t-shirt Sidney wore and quickly pulled it over the doctors head. All the warmth and love that radiated from those eyes was enough to make both women catch their breaths.
"I love you." Olivia smiled before reaching down and placing a soft kiss on her love's lips.
"I love you too." Sidney smiled back, she never got tired of hearing those three powerful words coming out of Olivia's mouth.
The doctor reached up her right hand to cup the side of Olivia's face and deepened the kiss, their tongues sliding, twirling, dancing. Sidney reached up and tugged at Olivia's shirt. Olivia pulled away and stopped Sidney's hands with her own.
"You wouldn't be trying to distract me now would you doctor?" Olivia accused in a teasing tone.
"Now why would I want to do that detective?" Sidney joked back, before she finished her initial goal in getting Olivia out of her shirt.
As the shirt was tossed aside, Olivia's long brown hair hung loosely around her face. Sidney reached her hand up and ran her fingers through the smooth locks. "Your hair got long."
"That's what happens when I don't cut it for six months." Olivia smirked. "Do you like it better short?" She asked suddenly curious.
"Baby, I would like it if you chose to shave it all off." Sidney told her honestly. "But, I do miss your short hair. Gave you that 'bad-ass cop' kind of look, that was sexy as hell."
"Oh, so you're telling me that I don't look sexy as hell now? Maybe I should call this off right now."
"Don't you dare!" Sidney warned capturing Olivia's lips once again.
Olivia pulled back, and began her trail of kisses down Sidney's neck and onto her chest. Lifting Sidney's body, she unhooked the white bra and quickly threw it aside. She took a nipple into her mouth and sucked on it gently, feeling a wave or euphoria sweep over her. She had no doubt it would be the first wave of many more to come that night. She licked a trail over to the other breast and ran circles around the erect nipple teasingly. Finally she took it into her mouth and gave it the same attention she had the other. Sidney ran her fingers along Olivia's shoulders and into the soft brown hair.
Reluctantly, Olivia turned her attention away from the taut nipple and made another trail of kisses down the middle of Sidney's body and admired the flat stomach the gorgeous woman. She continued to plant kisses across the doctor's lower abdomen, caressing the little dips close to the hip bones. As she entertained the body beneath her with her lips, her hands removed Sidney's sweat pants and underwear. Once Sidney was completely naked, she slid back up to face her lover.
Olivia couldn't help but let out a low moan as the doctor, began her own oral assault on Olivia's breasts. Olivia closed her eyes as she felt an increase in wetness between her legs. Sidney quickly rid her of her pants and panties and admired the naked form above.
Sidney let go of Olivia's hand and massaged one of Olivia's breasts, thumb and index finger rolling and pinching the erect nipple. Olivia moaned into Sidney's mouth at the sensation and her hips instinctively began to rock against Sidney's thigh. Olivia moved her hand down to the juncture between Sidney's legs. She paused looking for an indication that she should proceed. This became a routine of Olivia's that Sidney came to expect. No matter what they were doing, where or when, Olivia always, in some form or another, ask for Sidney's permission.
Sidney moved her hand over top of Olivia's and pulled her mouth away from hers just long enough to say, "Touch me."
Olivia slid her fingers between her partner's outer lips and took note of how wet she was. She massaged the slick folds and obviously aroused clit, which elicited a deep groan from Sidney. Slowly she slid her middle finger deep into Sidney's core and stroked her languidly. Then she added her index finger and began thrusting harder while her tongue darted in and out of Sidney's mouth, mirroring her hand's movements down below.
With one arm wrapped around Olivia's waist and the other massaging one of the brunettes breasts, she bucked her hips faster and harder into Sidney's hand. She began to feel light headed as she came closer and closer to orgasm. Olivia continued to thrust harder and faster into Sidney's slick folds and felt hot flesh tighten against her fingers as the brunette cried out into her mouth.
Olivia began to slow her movements as she pulled her face back to gaze at the other woman. She rested her hand on Sidney's hip and smiled.
"God you're beautiful." Sidney could feel herself blush, as she tried to catch her breath.
"Well Detective Benson, let me show you how beautiful you are."
About an hour later, both women lay in each others arms completely exhausted, but very content. And this time when they laid down, safely in each others arms, neither had trouble falling asleep.
…...
Ok, there you go! I thought I would start out the story with these two ladies in a happy and content setting! But I don't think it will last too long…;)
As always I would love to know what you think. Next chapter I'll get more into what's going on with Sidney, and don't worry, I didn't forget about the lovely ADA ;)
