Chapter 6

Olivia and Elliot walked down the aisle behind the casket, hand in hand. Elliot was bawling on Liv's shoulder. There was not a dry eye in the whole church…well maybe one. Kathy's.

Her eyes were cold. A mean fury exploded inside her when he saw Olivia and Elliot holding hands. Just friends my ass! She thought.

She sat alone in the back of the church. She watched her children weep over the loss of the Grandmother, but she didn't care at this moment. All her attention was focused on Olivia and Elliot. She watched as Olivia consoled him. She glared when she kissed him.

Eoeoeoeoeoeooeoeoeeoeoeoe

After the funeral the family went back to the Stabler residence. They sat around, no one said a word. What could they say? They just buried there mother.

Elliot had his hands cupped in his face.

"Uncle Elweeot--- why are you sad?" Lily came up to him and sat herself down on his lap.

He kissed the top of head. "I just miss Grandma." He said.

Olivia felt her heart hit the floor. She just wanted to hold him in her arms and tell him everything was going to be alight.

Elliot looked over at Liv, he saw the tears run down her face. His heat felt a warm sensation. He wanted to hold her, forever.

Jenni noticed the look between Elliot and Olivia. She saw Olivia's tears, and it made her tear up too. "Lily, come here sweety" She said to her daughter. She needed to hold her.

Lily got up and cuddled up with her mother.

Elliot buckled into Olivia's arms. She had been so supportive of him this whole time. He had fallen in love with her, and there was no going back.

"You wanna go for a walk?" He asked her after awhile. Jenni and Lily had comfortably nodded off on the couch.

"I would love too." She said smiling.

They walked around Elliot's home town, Elliot pointed out different memories from his past. The park where he used to play ball. His elementary school, High School. That sort of thing.

They held hands the entire time. The sun was starting to set, Elliot picked up his pace, "C'mon I want to show you something." He said to her pulling her faster along.

"El…" She said confused.

"We're almost there. C'mon Liv" He said with a smile.

"Where? We're almost where El?" She said.

"Here."

They had reached a secluded area. There was a huge hill.

"The best spot to watch the sunset." He said looking at her.

He took her hand and they sat down looking at the wonder of nature.

"It's beautiful El" She said leaning her head against his shoulder.

"Almost as beautiful as you." He said kissing her softly upon her lips.

"I love you Olivia." He said looking down into her deep chocolate eyes, "I love you so much that it scares me sometimes…I've never felt this way before…"

She didn't want to ruin the moment, but she had to ask, "What about Kathy?"

He took a deep breath. "It was different with Kathy…I thought I loved her, but when I look back on it, and knowing how deeply I feel for you, I think it was more that I loved my kids, and she was just there…Does that make any sense?"

"Sort of…Hey El?"

"I love you too."

They kissed again. This time deeper. "Make love to me Liv"

"Right here?"

He laughed. "yeah."

They laid down in the grass, He kissed her with such passion, such pleasure…such love. Things were going to be different when they went back home. She didn't let herself think about that though, she just let their bodies become one.
