Alright, this is my first story so please go easy on me. I'm open for ideas on what to do next and please R&R!

It was midnight, the precinct was dark and Elliot Stabler sat across from his partner Olivia Benson. They'd been partners for almost 11 years now and they had grown extremely close. They knew everything about each other, except their true feelings about the other.

Elliot looked up and saw the beautiful woman he loved.

Thoughts flew through his head and he was brought back to reality when Olivia said, "Hey are you okay?"

"Oh, um yeah I'm fine. Just done with this paperwork."

"Well I'm done too. Let's get outta here," Olivia said in a relaxed tone that made Elliot's mind race. He couldn't lie to her anymore. If anything she had been 100% honest with him, it was time for him to return the favor.

Olivia stood up from her desk and grabbed her tan jacket and pulled it on. Walking toward the door she didn't hear Elliot's footsteps behind her. She turned around to see him just standing there, looking at her.

"You coming or are you just gonna watch me leave?" she giggled.

"Like I would let a woman like you leave me," she blushed at the compliment, like always. "Liv I need to tell you something. Ever since I divorced Kathy I've had this feeling that I couldn't explain until just recently. A feeling about you," he said gently grabbing her hands and pulling her in closer to him.

"El where are you going with this," Olivia asked her faced showing signs of confusion.

"Shh," Elliot said dropping one of her hands and putting a finger to her lips. "This is already hard for me to say and you interrupting as usual isn't exactly going to help," he said with a smile on his face, for her stubborn attitude is something he loved so much about her.

She simply nodded while considering every possible way he could go with this.

His hand caressed her cheek, "Olivia Benson I've fallen completely and totally in love with you and I want to know how you feel about me," he said hoping for anything but rejection. Olivia's eyes opened wide and she blinked a couple times trying to think through what just came out of her partner's mouth.

"Liv are you okay," Elliot asked.

She looked up at him and smiled a sweet small smile. Olivia took her hands from his and put them around his neck.

"I'm perfect," was all she said before she pulled him into a kiss that was a long time coming. His hands wrapped around her waist and pulled her in closer. Finally, they knew the truth.

Meanwhile

Alex Cabot was in her office. She pushed her bangs out of her face and sighed. The Gregor case was one of the hardest ones she's had to deal with. She had to be prepared for anything that the defense put together. Reviewing the files she found an alarming fact she was surprised anyone had missed. Gregor was just an accomplice. The real rapist was still out there and she had to tell Cragen. Alex grabbed the file and ran for the precinct.

Her blonde hair had fallen out of the ponytail it was in and she was breathing heavily. Alex realized her heels weren't exactly helping her run fast so she kicked them off and picked them up and began to run faster.

Once she reached the precinct she grabbed the door of the SVU squad room and yanked in open. She took one step in and dropped her shoes and the file on the floor. The bang startled Elliot and Olivia as they broke the kiss and looked behind them.

A smile appeared on the ADA's face, "That's a nice shade of lipstick on you Elliot."

Olivia broke Elliot's grip on her and stepped away rather embarrassed about Alex's comment.

"Why thank you Alex. You must have come here for some other reason than to tell me that," he said looking over to Olivia who was almost glaring at Alex for interrupting the best kiss of her life.

Cabot soon realized what important matter had brought her to the precinct in the first place, and the reason why her feet were hurting from running barefoot.

"Oh right! I realized something while reading the case file that I'm surprised you missed! Oh and by the way, I'm glad you two finally got together," she said walking towards to two detectives to show them the file. "Gregor isn't your man. He's just an accomplice."

"You've got to be kidding me. It took us at least a month to even get a lead on Gregor," Elliot almost shouted. Olivia grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to her in an attempt to calm him down.

"Sorry guys but I can try and get it out of him who the real rapist is. Maybe cut him a deal or something," she said almost defeated. She hated cutting deals.

"Let's just take a break for tonight and start fresh tomorrow," Olivia suggested. Alex and Elliot agreed. " Why don't we go get something to eat. I know this great diner that I've been dying to try out!"

"Sounds good to me," Alex said. "And you can tell me every single detail of what happened right before I walked in," she smirked while handing a tissue to Elliot to wipe the lipstick off.

"We'll tell you as long as you promise to keep this between us. We don't exactly want to have our partnership broken yet," Elliot said as his phone started to ring.

"Deal. Now let's go, I'm starving haha."

"Stabler," he said answering his phone and winking at Olivia. She blushed as she turned and walked to the door with Alex as she put her shoes one again.

"Hello. You took my partner into custody. Now I took someone of yours," the voice said as he heard his daughter scream for him in the background. "Kathleen's a real fighter, but I'll have her taken care of soon don't worry."

"Where the hell are you?? Don't you DARE TOUCH HER," he screamed into the phone as it went dead.

Alex and Olivia turned and looked at him with confusion in their eyes.

"Whoever Gregor's partner is, he took Kathleen," Elliot said as tears filled his eyes. Olivia and Alex rushed up to him and comforted him. They had to hurry if they wanted to see Kathleen again, alive.

Note: Alright I know it's not that exciting yet and was short but the next chapter will be better and longer!
