After Olivia was cleared by the hospital, Cragen tried to send Olivia home, but she refused. She wanted to talked to the man who tried to rape her. Fin kept close to Alex on the outside of the one way mirror just in case Alex decided to try to kill Harris again.
Cragen kept glancing at Alex who looked angrier than he'd ever seen her. She was smoldering on the inside and he was sure that if she knew she'd get away with it, that she'd take the gun off of Fin and shoot Harris.
Olivia looked tired when she stepped out of the interrogation room. She sighed and Alex was immediately at her side. "Are you okay?" she whispered.
Olivia nodded.
"Take the rest of the day off," Cragen told Olivia, "Catch up with Alex."
If it hadn't been for Alex, she would have stayed, but she nodded and let Alex lead her out the doors of the precinct.
"Do you still live at the same place?" Alex asked.
Olivia silently nodded.
Alex flagged down a cab and told him where to take them. When they got out, Alex paid and followed Olivia to her apartment.
Once in Olivia's apartment, Alex sat Olivia down on the couch and went to get her some tea. She returned to find Olivia staring at the coffee table in front of her.
"Maybe you should talk to George," Alex offered softly, kneeling in front of Olivia.
Olivia looked her head, "I'm fine. Just tired." She took a sip of the tea Alex got her.
"Why don't you lay down?" Alex said softly.
"Come to bed with me?" Olivia asked, almost sounding needy.
"Of course," Alex replied.
They made their way to the bedroom and laid together under the covers. Olivia curled into Alex and closed her eyes while Alex ran her fingers through her hair and whispered sweet nothings in her ear.
Soon they were both asleep.
Alex was awakened half an hour later by someone talking. Her eyes fluttered open and she realized that the woman in her arms was mumbling in her sleep. She watched for a few minutes as Olivia settled again. Just as Alex was getting ready to close her eyes again, Olivia began struggling again her, screaming and crying.
"Liv," Alex said softly, releasing Olivia from her grip, "Liv. It's me. Alex."
Olivia's eyes shot open and tears fell out.
Alex held her arms open, "C'mere.'
Olivia moved into Alex's arms and started sobbing on her shoulder. All Alex could do was hold her and reassure her that everything was going to be alright. Of course she didn't know if it really was going to be okay, it just seemed like the thing to say. Her heart broke for Olivia. It pained her to see Olivia like that.
Olivia wondered what she's have done had Alex not been there. Even if Fin had gotten there in time to stop Harris. She would probably be pushing herself through the rest of the day at work, ignoring all feelings she was having. She wasn't ready to talk about it yet, but having Alex there made it all so much easier. She never felt like she had to hide who she was or what she was feeling from Alex. Alex was her saving grace.
"I missed you," Olivia whispered.
"I missed you too," Alex answered.
"I love you," Olivia closed her eyes and kissed the skin closest to her lips, which happened to be Alex's neck.
"I love you too," Alex added.
Olivia pulled away and tentatively pressed her lips to Alex's. Alex warmly accepted the kiss, but didn't move her hands for fear of triggering a memory for the horrible even that happened a few hours prior.
"I love you so much," Olivia whispered after the kiss.
Alex kissed Olivia's forehead, "I love you too. More than you'll ever know."
After a few moments of silence, Olivia asked, "How did you know where I was?"
Alex took a deep breath, "Before I…left, the case I had right before Zapata was an inmate who was recently paroled. It wasn't supposed to be my case but McCoy was sick or something. Anyway she walked me through where it was, why she was taken there, how many times…I had a grand jury hearing the morning after I was shot."
Olivia slowly raised her hand and moved Alex's shirt over to see the star shaped scar. She ran her thumb over it before gently kissing it. "I'm sorry."
"It wasn't your fault," Alex assured her.
"I just…wish there was more I could have done," Olivia added.
"I'm okay," Alex smiled, "All healed."
Olivia ran her hands up under Alex's shirt and over her stomach. She started to move her hands to caress Olivia, but saw the detective flinch so she slid her hands under the pillow her head was on.
"I'm sorry," Olivia apologized again, "I just…Can I?"
Alex nodded understandingly and kept her hand where they were. Olivia moved down Alex's body until she was looking at the blonde's bare stomach. She slowly and gently kissed around Alex's stomach, slowly pushing her shirt higher.
"Liv," Alex breathed.
Olivia looked up at her.
"You don't have to do this," Alex replied.
"I want to," Olivia brushed some hair out of Alex's face, "It's been five years."
Alex smiled softly at Olivia, "You're so beautiful."
Olivia felt herself blush like she hadn't since Alex left.
She restarted her exploration of Alex's body. She reacquainted herself with every inch of the former ADA until Alex was naked and panting, her knuckles turning white as they clutched the pillow beneath her head.
Olivia crawled up next to Alex and curled into her. She traced the outline of Alex's knuckles that started to relax. "That good huh?"
Alex looked at Olivia's cocky smile and was glad to see that she was back to normal in one way, "Oh yeah."
Olivia wrapped her fingers around Alex's and moved Alex's hands to her hips while Alex cautiously watched. Alex was deeply touched at this show of complete trust. Tears clouded her eyes and she tried to blink them away.
Olivia noticed the tears and wiped them away. Then she softly kissed Alex's lips, lingering for a few seconds before whispering, "I missed you."
Alex smiled, "I missed you too."
