Okay, so this one might not be the best of the story so far, I blame the codeine cough syrup. That's my story I'm sticking to it. And I can't believe I have to put this, but DO. NOT. BODY. SHAME. OLIVIA. IN. THE. COMMENTS. She eats in this chapter *gasp* I know, she eats food! And whenever I put that in a story I get disgusting body shaming comments about Olivia. Save your breath. Get a life, find a productive hobby, and stop reading my stories if you don't like Olivia eating food. Shit.

After a couple more rounds, Olivia and Ed fell against the bed, sated, exhausted, tangled in a beautiful mess of limbs and sheets. Sleep came easy to them both. Ed was up first the next morning, he went to get out of her, but Olivia let out a groan. "Stay," she whispered.

Ed kissed her head. "Go back to sleep," he whispered. "I'll be here when you wake up." Olivia grunted in response and fell back into a deep sleep.

A few hours passed and Olivia woke up, looking around, not seeing Ed. But she knew she hadn't dreamt last night, the ache between her thighs was familiar proof that she hadn't made the whole thing up. She stood up and put on a pair of panties, a pair of shorts, and a T-shirt and smiled when she heard Noah laughing and Ed's voice coming from the kitchen. She walked out of the bedroom, leaned up against the wall and smiled at her son and the man she loved.

Noah saw her first and he gasped excitedly. "Mommy! Tucker made pancakes!"

She pushed off the wall and walked over to him and kissed his head. "He did!? Well aren't we lucky?" She smiled and looked at Ed. "Good morning," she smiled and kissed him softly. She looked back at Noah. "How about I get dressed and take you to school?"

Ed wrapped an arm around her. "You, sit, relax, have some breakfast. I'll bring him in today."

She looked back at him and smiled. "Yeah?" She saw him nod and she smiled and looked back at Noah. "Okay, bud, how about you go brush your teeth."

Noah looked at his mother. "You just want to kiss Tucker."

Olivia's mouth opened in playful shock. "Listen to you, go brush your teeth." She laughed and saw him hop off his chair and run to the bathroom. Olivia chuckled and turned in Ed's arms and kissed him slowly, feeling him deepen it.

Ed held her close and broke the kiss gently. "I miss mornings like this."

She grinned. "Me too," she bit her bottom lip and kissed him again, a smile on her face as their lips meshed. She broke the kiss. "Come back after you drop him off?" She asked, running her hands over his chest.

He smiled. "I wouldn't dream of being anywhere else." He kissed her again.

Olivia smiled and pulled away again. "When you get back we can continue that," she smiled and kissed his cheek. "While you're gone I'll call Fin and tell him I'm feeling a little under the weather and I just need to rest today."

Ed chuckled. "Even though you'll be doing anything but."

She smiled. "Different kind of self care," She winked and kissed him once more, quickly.

Noah came running out. "All done!"

Olivia picked him up and smiled. "Okay, Tucker is going to take you to school, I'll come pick you up. Be good today," she kissed his forehead.

He hugged her. "I will. I love you, Mommy."

She smiled and hugged him tight. "Oh, I love you, too, sweet boy." She set him down and he ran to get his backpack. She looked at Ed. "I'm going to have some breakfast while you're gone," she moved around him and got a plate to put her food on.

Ed kissed the back of her head as he walked past her, going to the door to put his shoes on. "Come on bud! Let's go to school."

Olivia watched them leave and she put a few pancakes on her plate, drizzling them with syrup. She picked up her phone and called Fin. "Fin? Hey. I'm taking the day. If you absolutely need me, call me and I can be there in half an hour."

"But try not to need you?" Fin asked, a knowing smirk on his face on the other end of the phone.

She rolled her eyes. "I can hear that smirk through the phone. I just need the day, alright." She has a smile of her own on her face.

He chuckled. "Alright, Liv. Tell Tucker I say hi."

Olivia shook her head. "You can be such an ass sometimes, you know that right?"

Fin smiled. "Yeah, but it's part of my charm."

She smiled. "It is. It's why we all love you." She said playfully. "Don't burn the place down, alright. I'd like to have a precinct to come back to, tomorrow."

He nodded. "You got it, Liv. Enjoy your day."

Olivia let out a breath. "Thank you. See you tomorrow." She hung up and ate her pancakes and bacon and drank the cup of coffee she made for herself. She smiled and realized that for the first time since they'd broken up, she was truly happy. She felt safe. Everything felt right. She heard the door open and she smiled when she saw Tucker walk in. "Hey, you."

Ed walked over and kissed her lips, pulling her closer, feeling her arms wrap around him. He broke the kiss and smiled. "Maple syrup tastes good on you."

She chuckled. "Your pancakes taste incredible." She bit her bottom lip.

He caressed her face. "What's running through that beautiful mind?"

Olivia rubbed his chest. "You. Us. How happy you make me. How last night and today are the happiest I've been in over a year. How you make me feel safe. How I really wish I'd have begged you to take me back sooner because God knows I needed you so much this past year…" she shrugged. "How deeply in love with you I am." She felt tears well up in her eyes. "God, Ed, I love you so much."

Ed wiped her eyes and kissed her softly. "I wish I could have been there for you, and for Noah. It's been rough, with… Sharon, is her name?"

She furrowed her brow. "Sheila. How did you—" she asked before he cut her off.

"I sleep with a radio under my pillow, remember?" He teased getting a small chuckle out of her. "No, I have my sources."

"Fin?" Olivia asked and she saw Ed shrug. "You can tell me, I'm not going to shun him."

Ed nodded. "He wanted to make sure you were okay. So did I. The whole Sheila thing… he had to convince me not to drive up there because I probably would have hurt her."

She smiled. "I thought about it," she shook her head. "That week after, hell that month after, every noise I heard at night was someone coming to take him. I'm his mother, and I let his kidnapper walk right into his life." She nodded and wiped her eyes.

He tilted her chin up and made eye contact with her. "Don't do that." He whispered. "Don't you dare blame yourself for what that woman did, hear me?" He saw her nod. "You wanted him to have a relationship with the only blood relative he has. That's not a bad thing. What she did, abusing your kindness, that's on her. Not on you."

Olivia smiled softly. "I should have called you then," she rested her forehead against his. "I needed to hear that then." She caressed his face. "Enough about Sheila. I want to focus on you right now. On us." She kissed him softly and felt him lift her onto the counter.

Ed ran his hands under her shirt, lifting it over her head, taking her breasts in his hands. She let her head fall back and she groaned when he started to massage them. "You're so sexy." He kissed her neck, gently biting and sucking on the skin.

She groaned and rested her hand on the back of his head, her breath catching in her throat. "Ed," she moaned and arched her back. "Oh, God, baby."

He grinned and licked over where he just bit soothing softly, blowing softly on her skin, causing her to gasp, seeing goosebumps on her skin. "I want to worship your body. All day long."

Olivia smiled and wrapped her arms around him. "We can worship each other, we have the apartment to ourselves. Wherever you want."

Ed lifted her up and pulled her shorts and panties off. "Oh we'll get around the apartment today. But right now, I want you right here, on the counter. I need to taste you."

She groaned and leaned back on her elbows, letting him spread her legs, propping her feet on the counter. She felt his tongue come in contact with her soaking wet core and she let her mouth fall open, letting out a deep growl, her head falling back. "Oh my God." She closed her eyes and enjoyed every sensation of his mouth on her. "Oh, Ed."

He smirked and licked up her slit, flicking his tongue over her clit, sucking, kissing her inner thighs, listening to her moans only egged him on more, pushing his tongue inside her. Every single action he took made her moan louder and louder. He looked up at her. "Come on baby. Let go. I'll catch you."

Olivia let his words hit her ears, and it was all over, her orgasm had already been building, and his voice sent her over the edge, the pure euphoria rushing over her as she came hard.

Ed licked her clean and kissed up to her lips, where she hungrily kissed him back. He ran his hands over her thighs. "I'll never get over how incredible you taste, how sexy you sound, how beautiful you are at the peak of orgasm."

She smiled and blushed slightly. "All for you, Ed." She bit her bottom lip and hopped off the counter, steadying herself before she dropped to her knees and looked up at him. "My turn." She licked her lips. She unbuttoned and unzipped his jeans before pulling them down along with his boxer briefs, freeing his erection. She smiled and started to stroke him. She licked up the underside of his shaft.

He groaned and looked down at her. He moved her hair to the side and gripped it in one hand, watching her as her mouth moved over him. He let out a breath. "Oh, Liv." He let his head fall back, feeling her hand move over him. "God, don't stop."

Olivia smiled and looked up at him as she stroked him. "That's it baby," she kissed along his shaft, then kissing the head, blowing on it softly.

Ed groaned. "Liv, I'm gonna come. God what you do with your mouth," he felt his release building. "Jesus."

She smiled and wrapped her mouth around him, moving over him, slowly. She tasted his release and she groaned. She let him go with a pop and swallowed every drop of what he gave her. "Mm," she kissed up to his lips and smiled.

He pulled her close and kissed her passionately, feeling her melt into him. He groaned and broke the kiss, still holding her close. "You're incredible." He looked at her and touched the small mark on her neck with his fingers. "Sorry about that."

Olivia shrugged. "That's what they made turtlenecks for," she chuckled and pulled his shirt over his head, moving closer to him, reveling in the skin to skin contact. "I love you, Ed. And you… you are the last man I ever want to say that to."

Ed smiled. "I love you, Olivia Margaret Benson, and you're the last woman I ever want to say that to." He kissed her forehead.

She closed her eyes, then kissed him softly. "I finally feel like everything is right again, everything fell back into place. You were the missing piece to my puzzle."

He ran his hands over her sides, then took her hand. "I'm so glad you came to my apartment last night. I've missed you so much."

Olivia smiled. "I'm glad you let me stay." She bit her bottom lip. "I missed you too. Nights like last night, mornings like today, falling asleep in your arms. I've missed it all."

Ed kicked his pants and boxer briefs off from around his ankles, toeing his socks off. He took her hand and led her back into the bedroom, climbing in bed with her, holding her. "This is what I've missed most. Cuddling with you. The sex, God, Liv it's wonderful, but this, it doesn't get any better."

She moved closer to him and smiled. "We should set an alarm so I can get up and go get Noah on time."

He kissed her softly and took her hand in his. "Good idea. In case we fall asleep, or get distracted."

Olivia chuckled. "You've got a one track mind." She kissed him gently, "Not that I'm complaining."

Ed ran his fingers gently over her sides. "When I have a girlfriend as incredibly sexy as you, damn straight I have a one track mind."

She smiled and looked into his eyes. "Girlfriend?"

He nodded. "Yeah, if that's okay with you."

Olivia kissed him gently. "More than okay," she whispered against his lips. "It's perfect."

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this. Again, NO BODY SHAMING COMMENTS. I'm sick of them. Find a hobby. But if you want to comment on the actual story itself, and not on Olivia's body or appearance, please feel free to do so, here, or on Twitter (couricshargitay). Thanks.
