Late Nights With Liv, by Balseirocharmed
Although her job wasn't one of the greatest jobs out there, it was probably the closet Olivia had ever felt to actually having a family. She would have rather spent her Saturday mornings rounding up the neighborhood creepers than staying in her apartment building. The problem was that Olivia didn't have anything to go home to after a long day on the job, so most of the times she would stay overtime despite the captain's long, essay worthy reasons.
"Go home. I'll finish these, Olivia" Captain Cragen had said one cold, dark night. It was the twenty-first of December, and the sun had long set.
Olivia, who's head had been hidden behind the stacks of paper work, had said without glancing at her captain, "I am almost done."
Her captain had sighed, but he had not given up. At least, not yet. "Olivia." he said her name, sternly.
She had glanced up when she heard the warning in his tone. "Yes, captain?"
"It's late." he stated, and glanced at his watch. "Olivia, it's almost three in the morning! Go home already!" He had exclaimed, taking the file which Olivia had been working on away from her.
"But-" Olivia had already begun to plea.
"Go. Home." That had been an order. An order which Olivia wasn't allowed to say no to.
She had eventually gone home, but only after Cragen had threatened the one thing in her life that was still good. Her job.
"Sometimes it feels like I am married to the job" she had confided to me one day. My reaction then had been to solely chuckle at the joke, but looking back on that day, I see the truth to the statement. Since day one, Olivia had always been committed to the job; coping with but not accepting the horrors she saw on the job; dealing with her partner, for better or for worse. Basically the only things that had been missing were the wedding bells, and a couple of "I do's." All in all, Olivia Benson was married to her job.
