The week went by really slow but it was already Friday and they closed their case. It was 10 pm when they all got to go home.

Olivia called Nick as soon as she got home and invited him over. She changed into shorts and a tank top and watched TV until he arrived.

20 minutes later…

Olivia got up, hearing a knock at the door. She opened it and let Nick in.

"Hey baby," she said as she stood on her tip toes to kiss him.

She led him to the couch and they both sat down.

"How was work?" He asked as he let her snuggle next to him.

"We just closed our case so I get to spend the whole weekend with you." She kissed him.

"I actually wanted to talk to you about that," he said as she sat up.

"What is it?" She asked.

"Well my mom invited us to their beach house this weekend. But it's totally up to you."

"Yeah that sounds fun. Who's all going?" She asked.

"Annie, Sean, and Zack," he listed all of his siblings.

"Sean?" She asked since her and Sean just never really got along. Sean never like the fact that she was an SVU

detective.

"Yea but don't worry about him ok? I'll deal with it."

"Fine. When are we leaving?" She asked.

"Tomorrow morning. Good?"

"Good," she answered then started kissing his neck. "I missed you," she added.

"You're so beautiful," he whispered as he kissed her again. He carried her to her bedroom and showed her how much

he missed her, over and over again.

The next morning…

Olivia woke up to the sound of the water running. She sat up as Nick walked out with a towel around his waist. He

went over to her and kissed her.

"Last night was amazing," he complimented.

"Incredible," she added the kissed him again.

He got dressed then turned back to her. "Go shower smelly and I'll go make breakfast," he teased.

"Hey, I'm not smelly. I smell like you," she teased back.

"Up stinky." He playfully slapped her butt then went in the kitchen as she went in the shower.

She walked in the kitchen 15 minutes later and saw Nick setting the table. They sat down and started eating.

After breakfast, they started on their way to the beach house, which was a four hour drive. Olivia put in a Jonas

Brothers cd and starting singing along. He glanced over at her then started laughing.

"How old are you? I can't believe you listen to them. Wait till I tell Elliot." He laughed.

"Shut up! I like their songs!" She defended.

"You sound like a teenage girl Liv," he teased again.

She playfully smacked him in the chest. "Leave me alone," she pouted.

"Oh I'm sorry baby. Come here," he teased then leaned over to kiss her. "But I'm not listening to this the whole time,"

he quickly added.

"Yes you are." She smiled.

"Yeah, why's that?" He asked.

"Because you love me," she answered.

"Fine, you win. But I get to choose on the way back."

"Whatever you say," she smiled.

They arrived four hours later and quickly got settled in. Once they were done, they all sat around the table for lunch. Olivia loved being around his family. She actually felt part of the family and like she belonged somewhere. During lunch, they joked, laughed, and told stories. She couldn't stop smiling.

After lunch, they all decided to go to the beach. Nick and Olivia went up to their guestroom and changed into their bathing suits. Olivia wore a red bikini that was just made for her perfectly curved body. She turned around to see Nick staring at her.

"What?" She blushed.

"You are the sexiest woman alive," he complimented then went over to her and kissed her.

"Well you are the sexiest man alive," she said as she scanned his perfectly built body.

They made their way to the beach and saw everyone swimming and tanning. Olivia laid down next to Annie, Nick's sister, to get a tan. Nick headed for the water with his brothers.

A couple minutes of later, Olivia saw Nick heading her way.

"Wanna go for a swim?" He asked as he sat next to her.

"In a little, I'm still white." She smiled then started rubbing more sunscreen on her body.

"Oh god Liv, stop. I'm getting turned on," he groaned.

"Ew Nick!" Annie exclaimed.

He just rolled his eyes and quickly grabbed Olivia over his shoulder and ran towards the water.

"Nick! Put me down! Nick I swear if you don't put me down-" He threw her in the water.

His whole family started laughing seeing Olivia dunking his head under water. She tried to swim away but he grabbed her around her waist. She wrapped her legs around his waist and arms around his shoulders.

"You're so sexy. I love you so much." He said then kissed her.

"Mm I love you too." She moaned in his mouth. They started making out in the middle of the ocean but quickly stopped hearing his family teasing them. Olivia laughed and started kissing him again.

It was 7 pm after they finished showering and barbequing. They set up the picnic table outside and started eating.

"Olivia we are so glad that you guys came. We've missed having you around," his mother said.

"Thank you for inviting me. I missed being around here too but my job is demanding and I was too busy keeping your son in line," she teased and kissed him on the cheek.

"Oh your job? How's that going for you?" Sean asked.

Olivia took a sip of her wine. "Work is fine, actually."

"So you haven't thought about a different job? I mean being an SVU detective is kind of harsh, don't you think?" Sean interrogated.

"Sean, how about we talk about something else?" Nick warned.

"No honey, that's fine. Sean I love my job and my boyfriend doesn't seem to have a problem with it so that's where I'm staying," she answered back.

After the silence was getting a little awkward, his mom decided to break the ice.

"So have you two thought about settling down? I mean it's been a year and we all know how much you love each other."

Olivia choked a little on her drink. "Whoa, you okay?" Nick asked as he gently patted her back. She nodded and took

a sip of her water.

"We're actually not thinking about that. We're happy with our relationship and where it is now," Olivia answered.

"Well if you guys are so happy with each other, why not make it official?" His mother asked again.

"Mom," Nick warned.

"What? Don't you want to marry her?" His mother asked.

"Of course I want to marry her but not until she's ready," he answered back. Olivia just looked at him, feeling like he was putting all this on her. She felt like he was blaming her, in a way. She decided to ignore it, at least for now.

They finished dinner an hour later, only having small conversations. They cleaned up and sat in the living room, watching a movie. Olivia sat in between Nick and his mom. Nick tried to put his arm around her but she just moved away. Nick looked at her, confused, but decided to drop it.

It was already 11 pm, when they all headed to bed. Nick lay in bed while Olivia was in the bathroom. She came out

five minutes later and lay down next to him. He tried putting his arm around her waist but she pushed it away.

"What's wrong?" He asked as he sat up.

"Nothing," she answered quietly.

"Don't lie to me Olivia," he said getting angry.

She sat up also. "Why are you trying to rush me into getting married?" She said plain and simple.

"What the hell are you talking about? I never rushed you into anything."

"You said that you want to get married but not until I was ready."

"So what's the problem. I'm ready and you're not."

"How would you know whether I'm ready or not?" She asked.

"Because every time I bring it up you always shut me down and find an excuse not to talk about. That's how I know," he said getting pissed off.

She just shook her head and laid down with her back facing him.

"Ignoring it isn't going to make it go away," he said and laid down with his back facing her.

"Don't even start Nick," she warned.

"We're going to have to talk about it sometime. You can't just keep pushing me away because you don't want to talk about it. Grow up and talk to me for once or see just how far you push me," he threatened.

She ignored him until sleep finally took over.
