A week had passed and today was Friday. Elliot walking to his desk he sat down hoping Caption didn't see him come in late.
"Late again Stabler." shouted Cargen.
"Sorry cap. My alarm didn't go off."
"Nice try Stabler; I don't care I just wanted you here before your new partner came." Cargen commented before heading back into his office.
"Ooo. Stabler's getting a partner how long do you think he will last Munch?" Fin leaned back into his seat watching Elliot getting coffee.
"I'm guessing two weeks tops. You?" Looking back at fin.
"Mmm, let's see the last stayed for a week but it was girl so if it's a dude I give it three weeks."
"Already making your bets guys? Don't you have anything better to do?" Elliot mouthed, while he took a sip of his coffee, making a face realizing munch made today's coffee.
"We do, but we want to have our bets placed before your partner gets here." Replied munch.
"Okay whatever." Elliot rolling his eyes and began doing his DD5's.
An hour into his work barley making a dent in his pile he decided he needed a bathroom brake, he headed off towards the restrooms. As he left the Elevator doors binged open stepping out was Olivia Benson walking towards the doors of Special Victims Unit. As she approached, Fin noticed her looking around and asked her from his desk. "Do you need help ma'am?" Turning to face him, she looked down at her piece of paper.
"I'm looking for Caption Donald Cargen." She spoke with confidence. "Oh you must be the new Detective. I'm Detective Odafin Tutuola but everybody calls me Fin." He said reaching out his hand to greet her. "Yea I am, and it's nice to meet you Fin. I'm Detective Olivia Benson." As she reached for his hand to shake.
"Nice to meet you; well Caption is in his office right there. He pointed as Olivia followed his finger.
"Thanks." She smiled
"No Prob." Olivia walked towards the door knocking, she heard him call to enter.
"Man is that Elliot's new partner?" Asked Munch trying to mimic Fin.
Fin shot him a glare. "Yea I guess so. I wish her some luck."
"Indeed my friend." Munch nodded his head in agreement.
Elliot returning from the bathroom noticed that Munch and Fin staring towards Cargen's office.
"What are you two looking at?"
"Your new partner my friend." Munch commented pushing up his glasses and turning to look at Elliot.
"Okay is it a guy?" Trying to look through the blinds.
"Na man it's a chick. She pretty to." Fin looked over to him.
"Oh Cap's coming out." Munch turning his attention back to his work everyone following his lead.
"Stabler!" shouted Cargen. "Yea, Cap?" Sighing as he stood up turning around finding her face, his eyes widened in surprise. "Liv?" He gasped knowing that the women he meet last week due to Sophia is going to be his partner he smiled.
Olivia smiled her heart swelling in excitement. "Hey, El." Cargen looking between the two,confused, as also for his other detective's watching. "So you guys know each other, well this should be easier to introduce and Keep your partner Elliot show her around then get to work." Cargen elaborating keep to Elliot. "Welcome to the team Olivia." He smiled and retreating back to his office.
After both detectives watched as Elliot turned his head he smiled before asking. "Well you didn't tell me you were going to work here."
She smirked. "Well you never asked."
"Well maybe I should have where did you transfer from?"
"I came from the 2-3." She looked into his piercing blue eyes.
"Hmm, well I get to see more of you now." He smiled crossing his arms showing his ripped body through his shirt.
"I guess so; are you going to show me around or do I have to get somebody else?"
"No so let's get started." He smiled, resting his hand on her back turning her to Munch and Fin. "well this is Fin."
"We met already." Elliot looked confused by that thinking they worked together before.
"Yea we did like ten minutes ago when you went to the restroom." Fin said answering Elliot's confused face.
"But she hasn't met me yet." Quipped Munch from behind sanding up to greet her. "Hi, I'm sergeant john Munch with the government stories". He smiled shaking her hand.
"Nice to meet you." Olivia returned a smile releasing his hand and placing back to her side.
"Okay now that you met everyone that is here I'll show you around." Guiding her to the interrogation rooms.
Gone from sight Munch turned to Fin. "They know each other but he has never mentioned her."
"I know but he never really talks much, only to yell." Fin replied.
"True." Turning back to do his work.
"And these are the cribs." El commented opening the door and showing her to her new locker that's next to his. "This is going to be your locker."
Olivia opening her locker and dropping things she doesn't need at the moment.
"Alright come on before they think something is up."
"Ha-ha, okay." They began walking out of the cribs.
"How's Sophia?" Elliot asked thinking of the little girl who stole his heart so quickly; Olivia smiled at Elliot's concern.
"She's okay; she had a nightmare once asking for you." Looking away while she said that.
Elliot smiled that his little girl asked for him. His. He liked the sound of that even though they barley met he already loved Sophia and his mother. Seeing how she looked uncomfortable. "You could have called I wouldn't had mind." He smiled when she looked up at him in surprise.
"Really?"
"yea."
"Thanks." Never taking her eyes off his.
"No problem, come on let's get to work partner." Walking back into squad room both of them heading to sit down.
"Benson, Stabler! Victim at Mercy she knows who did this." Giving them the pink slip. Elliot grabbing his keys and coat and Olivia getting her coat they left.
"Welcome to your first day Liv." As they left the parking garage.
"Thanks." Elliot chuckled as he kept driving. Fifteen minutes later they parked and entered the hospital going to the front desk asking were the victim was, the nurse giving what room she was in. Both looking for room 212 stopped at the door. Looking at each other before going in Olivia looked over the woman as Elliot stayed by the door. After an hour of talking to Alyssa about her rape; Then going to arrest her neighbor's son and bucking him and now doing there DD5's it was an open and shut case.
Elliot putting his pen down and stretched out his muscles in his back, then looking over to Liv smiling how determined she look to finish her work hearing his caption's door open, he swung his chair around to look at his boss.
"You two go home. You guys did good today." He said walking out of the precinct.
"Want me to take you home?" asked Elliot standing reaching for his coat.
"Thanks, but I have to pick up Sophia from the daycare." She smiled at him.
"It's alright I don't mind seeing her again."
Her eyes sparkled and her heart swelled. "Okay."
"Alright just tell me where to go." Ten minutes later they had arrived at 'Party House Daycare'. Walking into the building up to the desk meeting a blond.
"Hey Olivia, how are you today and who is this?" the blond commented turning her attention to Elliot. Olivia turned to look at Elliot and Elliot looking at Olivia smiling.
"This is Elliot my partner I work with him and El this Daisy."
"Nice to meet you Elliot, and Liv Sophia is coming right out." She said her eyes never leaving Elliot's body.
"Thanks." Trying to suppress a laugh of how Elliot shifted uncomfortably hearing a door open both Detective's turned to see a happy Sophia running up to her mother. "Mommy!" she jumped into her arms.
"Hey baby I missed you." Wrapping her arms around Sophia and placing her on her hip.
"Me too." Noticing Elliot behind Liv she smiled wiggled out of her mother's arms. "Elli!" she ran up to him.
"Hey pumpkin." He said picking her up and placing her on his hip.
"What you doing here?" she looked at him curiously.
"I came with your mom to pick you up so we can go eat." He said tickling her stomach earning a giggle from her. Olivia smiled at how well Sophia accepted Elliot walking up to them putting a hand on Elliot's arm.
"Ready to go?" she smiled at him.
"Yea let's go. Nice meeting you Daisy." Waving his hand over to her then placing it on Olivia's back steering her to the door.
"Nice meeting you to Elliot." She smiled seeing the door close behind them.
"Elli leg go eat paghetti Pwease!" Looking up at him giving him the puppy dog eyes, Elliot looked down to her seeing her eyes. Her beautiful brown eyes he couldn't say no to those.
"Okay pumpkin I know this great place we can go to but I think your mommy wants to go home and change first." He looked over to Olivia.
"Yea and plus its Friday you asked me out already." She smiled brightly.
"Okay I'll drop you off and I'll pick you up around 8:30." Saying while putting Sophia in the car seat and buckling her up. Stepping out closing the door and opening Olivia's; Olivia thanking him while she sat closing her door.
Stepping around to sit in his seat, starting the ignition headed off in the street, the drive not far from the daycare. Dropping her off and heading back to his apartment to shower and change.
