Olivia and Elliot woke to her alarm, and she reached across him to turn it off, before settling back into Elliot's side.
He smiled and kissed the top of her head. She looked up to his blue eyes and kissed his cheek lightly. "I feel so awake."
"Is that a good thing?" he asked, looking into her eyes.
She nodded, "I have never been able to sleep a full eight hours, when I was a kid, I always woke up at least three times a night, to make sure my mother was okay." She sat up, looking at her hands, "because I did it so much, it came through into my adult years even after she died." Elliot sat up with her, and took her hands. "I wake up at twelve and three consistently, to make sure my mom is awake."
A tear escaped the solice of her eye and Elliot wiped it away, before enclosing her in his arms. "I'm sorry, Liv."
"Don't be, I've slept eight hours for the first time ever, and I feel great." She smiled at him and kissed him gently. "We have to get ready to go to work." She moved to get off the bed and Elliot moved to her side and kissed her quickly.
She broke and looked into his face. "Thank you." He nodded and left her room.
He walked down to his car, and pulled out his duffel, that he stored extra clothes. He walked back up to her apartment, and saw her changed and making coffee. "I'm going to change in your room, okay?"
"Yeah, sure." She smiled as she watched him go back into her room and shut the door. She sighed and took a sip of her coffee as she read the paper.
He came back out in his normal suit, his tie not yet tied. Without looking away from the paper she held out a cup of coffee, which he graciously took from her. They still had a couple minutes before they had to leave so he sat down and took the sports section ad read along with her.
She downed her last cup and went to her room, holstered her 9mm, pocketed her phone, and attached her badge to her belt. She came back out, and Elliot fixed his tie, and holstered his gun. They grabbed their coats and she grabbed her purse, and started toward the door.
He pulled her back and kissed her deeply but gently, "What was that for?" she smiled.
"I won't get to do that again, until after our shift, I just wanted another one." He smiled, and she looked up at him, and pulled him down for another.
He looked down at her after they broke, he smiled, "What was that for?"
She smiled, and shrugged, "I just wanted another." He laughed lightly following her out the door, to their sedan parked outside.
Elliot dropped Olivia off at the station, because he had court all day. She touched his hand and got out of the sedan. He watched her go in, before finally heading to the courthouse.
Olivia stepped off the elevator and jogged to catch up with Cragen down the hall, "Your subway video came in today, 16 hours of fun, better get to it."
She nodded and went into questioning, where the tv was set up. She sat down and started the tape.
