Thank You to all those who reviewed, I really appreciate it. I'm glad everybody are still with me with this story. Without further delay here is chapter 7.

Previously on Family:

They were interrupted with a knock at the door. Olivia groaned not wanting to stop. There was another knock, Bayard smiled at Olivia, "I'll get it," Bayard said giving Olivia a peck on the lips before getting up already missing Olivia in his arms. He couldn't get enough of her. He threw on a pair of pants and a shirt as he walked towards the door and opened it. He regretted not looking through the peephole.

Nick and Fin just stood there looking at Ellis, Nick was the first to speak, "Um…Ellis what are you doing here?" Nick asked.

"Hey Bay who was at the…" Olivia stopped in her tracts when she saw Nick and Fin standing there, "Hey guys," Olivia said standing there in Bayard's dress shirt.

Chapter 7:

"Hey Bay who was at the…" Olivia stopped in her tracts when she saw Nick and Fin standing there, "Hey guys," Olivia said standing there in only Bayard's dress shirt.

Nick couldn't believe his eyes his partner was seeing a defense attorney. He looked at Olivia, "This is who you're been seeing Olivia. Bayard Ellis a defense attorney, I would have felt better if you were seeing Cassidy instead." Nick said running a hand down his face.

Bayard did not appreciate what Nick was saying to Olivia and wasn't about stand there and let him continue, "Detective Amaro it's none of your business who Olivia date and don't date. She is a grown women she can make her own decisions." Bayard said trying to remain calm. Olivia already warned him that Nick would be the one who would freak out over them seeing each other. Bayard let out a sigh, "If I may ask why you two are here on Olivia's day off?"

"There was a call from one of your neighbors, she um…heard some loud noises and screaming and thought you were in trouble Olivia. Nick and I heard it over the radio and decided to come and make sure you were ok…But it seems like everything is fine." Fin said taking in account what Olivia was wearing and the embarrassment on her face. He wasn't upset about Olivia seeing Bayard the only thing that he was thinking was this was the man that was responsible for Olivia's happiness. But he was surprise he would have never figured them two dating each other, friends maybe.

Olivia was so embarrassed, never before did a neighbor have to call the cops on her because she was having loud sex. She could see that Bayard was embarrassed also. "Well I'm fine guy's thanks for checking on me though. Sorry you had to come all the way here for nothing."

"It's no problem Baby Girl we'll be heading out now." Fin said as he watched Nick leave without saying anything, he turned back to Olivia, "Don't worry about Nick Olivia I'll talk to him." Fin said receiving a grateful smile from Olivia. "By the way, I'm happy for you Baby Girl." Fin turned to Bayard giving him a threatening look, "If you hurt her I swear I'll make sure you die a slow painful death. Olivia is like a sister to me, don't hurt her got it." Fin said.

Bayard wrapped an arm around Olivia, "Trust me that's the last thing I want to do. I love Olivia." Bayard said

Fin nodded, "Good, I'll see you guys later." Fin smirk at them, "Try not to have too much fun." Fin said laughing as he left.

Bayard closed the door then looked at Olivia, taking her into his arms, "You ok?"

Olivia buried her head into his chest shaking her head. She knew Nick wouldn't take it good but a part of her hoped he'll be happy for her.

Bayard rubbed her back, "It'll be ok. Nick will come around sweetheart." Bayard said kissing the top of her head, "How about I run you a hot bubble bath and afterwards we can go out for breakfast." Bayard said.

Olivia smiled up at Bayard, "I love you." She said kissing him. "Want to join me for my bath." Olivia said walking away taking off his shirt letting it fall to the ground knowing Bayard would be following her.

BO*SVU*BO

On the way back to the precinct Fin decided to talk to Nick. "What's your problem man? You can't be happy for Olivia. She finally finds someone who makes her happy and you act like a crazy man." Fin said not so softly.

Nick sighed, "He's a defense attorney…"

"So…what's wrong with that? That should be your lease concern. You should be more concern about if he makes her happy. Now if he was part of the mafia or in some drug gang then I get it but come on Nick it's not that serious. Plus Ellis is not your typical defense attorney." Fin said trying to reason with Nick.

Nick sighed he knew Fin was right Bayard wasn't like any other defense attorney he met. "Yeah I guess you're right about that. Ellis does make Olivia happy, I've never seen her smile so much since I joined the squad." Nick said.

"Ellis loves Olivia I can see it and he said it himself after you left. I can see in Olivia's eyes that she loves him too." Fin said smiling glad to see Olivia has someone in her life.

Nick nodded he had a lot to apologize for. It seems like every time he is able to mend their relationship/partnership he does something stupid like this. He just hopes Olivia will forgive him.

"Don't worry man Olivia will forgive you for acting like a fool." Fin said

Nick just nodded lost in thought as Fin pulled up in front of the precinct. When they entered the squad room Cragen saw them come in and rushed out. He was worried that something had happened to Olivia, "Is Olivia ok?" Cragen asked concern laced in his voice.

Fin smiled, "Oh she's fine Cap, no need to worry about Baby Girl." Fin said walking to his desk taking his jacket off.

Amanda gave him a look, "What does that suppose to mean?" Amanda asked

"Let's just say we found out who lover boy is. Might I add he very much live up to that name," Fin said smirking.

Amanda nodded understanding what he was saying now, "So it's safe to say that you two know it's Bayard Ellis then."

Fin gave Amanda a look, "How did you know about Ellis and Olivia?"

"Olivia and I were talking one day and I asked her and she told me who he was." Amanda explained.

"Cap did you know too?" Nick asked as he watched him, not once did he seem shock about Olivia and Ellis being together.

Cragen sighed, "Yeah she invited Donnelly and me over for dinner to meet him a couple of months back."

"And you are ok with her seeing Ellis?" Nick asked leaning against his desk folding his arms.

Cragen nodded, "Ellis loves Olivia and he makes her happy. Ellis treats her like a Queen." Cragen said watching Nick seeing he was having a hard time with this, "Look Nick I know it's really not ideal for a detective to date a defense attorney but those two loves each other." Cragen sighed again, "Nick let me put this way you screw this up you'll be looking for a new partner." Cragen said turning to walk back into his office hoping that Nick would come around and just be happy for Olivia.

BO*SVU*BO

That Monday morning at work Olivia walked in smiling she had a great weekend with Bayard. They had started moving some of her things to his place that Sunday afternoon. Jessica was beyond thrilled with Olivia moving in.

Olivia saw Nick pouring some coffee and decided to go talk to him. She sat her things down at her desk and walked over to him. Olivia took a deep breath, "Hey Nick," Olivia said with a small smile.

Nick looked up at Olivia returning her smile, "Hey Liv…about yesterday morning I'm sorry for the way I acted. I guess I was shocked to see you with Ellis. To be honest he never came cross my radar, I would never have put you two together…I just figured since we're partners…"

"That I would tell you… Nick I was trying to avoid this I knew you would react like this." Olivia sighed, "Look Nick Bayard and me just happened. We were friends who decided to take our relationship to the next level…Are we ok Nick." Olivia asked.

Nick nodded, "Yeah Liv we're good. Just to let you know if he hurts you he's dead meat." Nick said causing Olivia to laugh.

"I know, come on let's go interrogate this perp." Olivia said walking away with Nick right behind her. She was glad they could move on from this.

Later that day Cragen sat in a local Bistro waiting to meet up with Ellis. He wondered why Ellis wanted to meet with him. A couple of minutes later he saw Ellis walk in. "Ellis good to see you." Cragen said shaking his hand.

"Good to see you too and you can call me Bayard this isn't business." Bayard said taking a seat across from Cragen.

"Ok then, you can call me Don. How is everything with Olivia and you?" Cragen asked hoping everything was ok.

Bayard nodded and placed his order with the waitress then turning his attention back to Don, "Everything is perfect with Olivia and me. I'm not sure if Olivia told you or not but we're living together, we started to move some of her things to my place yesterday." Bayard said.

"Yeah she told me this morning…she really loves you Bayard." Cragen said smiling, "The last time someone asked Olivia to move in with them she broke up with them that night. So her taking this commitment with you really shows how much she loves you and wants to be with you." Cragen added.

"I was afraid she would say no when I asked her. I've wanted to ask her for a while now, but it never felt right. The fact that she agreed showed me that she's in this for the long haul." Bayard said receiving a nodded of agreement from Cragen. "This brings me to my reason for inviting you out for lunch…I love Olivia very much and so does Jessica…I want to get your blessing to ask Olivia to marry me." Bayard said pulling out a black velvet box opening it to show a classic 3-stone engagement ring with French cut diamonds, the middle diamond being 3 carats and the two on each side 2 carats and ten smaller diamonds going around the band.

Cragen eyes went wide upon seeing the ring, "That's a beautiful ring Bayard."

Bayard smiled, "It's called the 'Paris at Night' I know she always wanted to go to Paris so I thought it would be perfect." Bayard said glad that Cragen loved the ring.

"Olivia would love the ring, and its meaning Bayard. You have my blessing to ask her." Cragen said so happy that Olivia will finally get the family, her happy ever after.

Bayard smile grew, "Thank you Don, I appreciate it very much." Bayard said glad that Don said yes.

"So when do you plan on asking her?" Don asked as their food came.

"Well I want to take her somewhere special to ask her. Is it possible for Olivia to get a week off to go on vacation?" Bayard asked.

Cragen nodded, "I'm sure I can spare Olivia for a week."

"Thanks Don, I just hope she says yes." Bayard said starting to get nervous

"Don't worry Bayard, Olivia will say yes. I've never seen Olivia love someone so much as she does you." Cragen said reassuring Bayard.

Bayard nodded, they ate their food in a comfortable silence, both absorbed in their own thoughts. Bayard paid for their lunch and they went their separate ways, Bayard having a hand on the box and a smile on his face.

Well I hope you all enjoyed the chapter, up next where does Bayard take Olivia to poses to her, will Olivia say yes or will she ruin her chances of having a family she always wanted. As always reviews are very much appreciated.
