This is my first SVU story so don't be too harsh.

SVU squad room:

Olivia Benson was sitting at her desk staring at a file from a case her partner and her were investigating. Three women had been raped and killed in three days, and they were running out of time to find out what the perps next move would be. Elliot and Olivia hadn't gone home since the beginning of the case, and they were running on Munch's coffee. Olivia was just about to pass out at her desk when Elliot spoke up.

"Liv, go sleep for a while in the crib, and if anything new comes in I'll come get you." Elliot knew that Olivia wasn't going to be any help on the streets if she was exhausted.

"El, I can't this case is too important. Three women have died, and if we don't stop this guy who knows how many more will." Olivia was trying to keep her eyes open so her partner wouldn't worry.

"Olivia, Elliot go get some sleep now, or you are both off this case." The Captain yelled from his office. He knew his detectives too well, and worried about their own well-being.

"Captain we are fi-." Elliot was cut-off before he could even finish his sentence.

"No, no you aren't, and if you two are too dumb to go home then you are sleeping in the crib." The Captain started walking out of the room, and Elliot and Olivia remained at their desks.

"That wasn't a suggestion it was an order. Sleep now or you are both off this case for good. Now let's go, NOW!" Cragen ordered both of them out of the room as Fin and Munch watched.

"Hey Captain, you sure you don't need one of us to go in there and supervise. You know make sure they both stay in their own beds. Maybe a hand check every once in a while." Munch yelled from his desk causing Elliot and Olivia to both blush as they walked out of the room.

Entering the crib Elliot and Olivia both went to separate beds, and sat down waiting for the Captain to leave.

"You know you two I hope Munch isn't right. I don't have enough manpower to put an officer in here to watch you two sleep." The captain said as he shut the door.

Elliot was just falling asleep when he heard Olivia.

"El…El…EL……Elliot….ELLIOT!" Olivia was finally yelling at him to wake up. Elliot rolled over in his bed, and looked at her.

"Yes Olivia?" Elliot was extremely tired, but couldn't ignore Olivia, not because she was his partner, but because she was Olivia.

"I can't sleep in here it's too dark." Olivia whispered this just loud enough for Elliot to hear.

"You chase down just about every sex offender and creep in this city, and you are telling me you are afraid of the dark." Elliot laughed as he said this.

"Yes I am, and I am not going to leave you alone till you do something about it." Olivia was dead serious so Elliot got out of bed, and walked towards the door. "You can't turn the light on Cragen will come in, and yell at us again." Elliot stopped because he knew Olivia was right.

"Well Liv, what would you like me to do exactly. I didn't bring your nightlight sorry." Elliot smirked and sat on the end of Olivia's bed.

"I don't know can you just, can you just sit here till I fall asleep it won't take long I promise." Olivia sat up, and begged Elliot while being inches away from him.

"Liv, c'mon I am exhausted, and just want to lie down, and sadly this bed is not big enough for the both of us." Elliot wished it was because he loved the idea of lying next to Olivia.

"No, no it's not, but two beds would be." Olivia smirked, and jumped out of the bed.

"You know Cragen is going to kill us after he sees that we rearranged the furniture." Elliot smiled at Olivia as he helped her move another bed closer to hers.

"Eh, he will get over it eventually." Olivia laughed, and sat the bed down next to hers, and then walked back around and got into bed. Elliot followed by climbing into the other bed and moving closer to Olivia. After a couple minutes of lying next to Elliot Olivia spoke up again. "El, are you still awake?" Olivia whispered this to him, and got no answer. She had her back to him so she rolled over to face him. "El, Elliot wake up a minute." Olivia spoke a little louder this time.

"What, what is there a break in the case do we need to go?" Elliot sat up fast and sounded frantic.

"No, no El. I…I just kind of had a question for you." Olivia felt bad now for waking her partner after three days without sleep.

"What is it Liv?" Elliot laid back down, and looked at Olivia. He never though he would be doing this, laying next to his partner. Not even his partner his Olivia the only woman that had been there for him through everything.

"Are…are you okay with this? I don't want to make you uncomfortable. You just went through your divorce with Kathy, and I know you are in a custody battle for the kids. And I don't want to make things worse." Olivia moved away from Elliot slightly worried about what he might say.

"Olivia you listen to me right now. I have never felt more comfortable in my entire life. Not with any woman. You know me better than anyone, and you don't make things worse you make them better. Whenever I need to talk about the divorce, or the kids, or I need help, or anything you are there. You have always been there, and I am sorry it took me ten years to notice. So don't think you make my life worse than it already is because if you weren't here right now…I don't know what I would have left to live for." Elliot reached out, and wrapped his arms around Olivia, and pulled her closer to him. He didn't fall back asleep till she did. Even after she did he laid there, and held onto her. He wanted to be there for her forever. He thought of how he could make up the last ten years of not being there to her. He thought about it till he could no longer and fell asleep holding onto Olivia, but before he did he whispered into her ear. "I promise you this Olivia Benson. I will be here forever, and I will never let go of you. I can't lose you now not after everything we have been through. I won't lose you now; you are everything to me now." Then he kissed her head, and fell asleep next to her.
