1 year, 3 months after Olivia's rape

Elliot and Olivia lay in tangles, after a wonderful night together.

They went out to a dinner, at Olivia's favorite restaurant, and then walked around until they were oddly enough at the 16 precinct where they work, as partners in Manhattan Special Victims Unit for nearly nine years. She was very curious as to why they were back at work, when tonight was just a night for themselves. He said he needed to grab something before they continued their night. She accompanied him up to the squad room. Their fellow detectives, Fin Tutuola, John Munch, and Chester Lake, and their Captain, Donald Cragen looked at them, as they walked in, extremely confused.

"I gave you the night off, what are you doing here?"

Olivia was the one to answer, by shrugging her shoulders. Elliot went to his desk, and pulled something out. He then asked his fellow detectives to come around him and Olivia. He sat Olivia in her desk chair, and kneeled in front of her. She gasped and started to tear up.

"Olivia, I wanted to do this here because we met here, became friends here, and been through everything here, Olivia, I love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life, with you not only as your friend…"she covered her mouth with her hands, and started to cry some more as Elliot continued, "or your partner, but as your husband. Liv, will you marry me?"

"Elliot…Yes, I'll marry you." He picked her up, and spun her around, as her fellow detectives clapped for them, and Fin and Munch looked at each and said, "Finally!"

Olivia woke up, in Elliot's arms, and smiled against his chest. Hoping that it wasn't a dream, she looked at her hand, and saw the diamond ring on her finger. It made her smile brightly again, knowing it was definitely not a dream. She was so happy, but she knew they had to go to work, in a couple hours. She laid there in his arms until she felt Elliot move from waking up.

She looked up at his beautiful blue eyes, and smiled, "Hi"

"Hi, baby" he said kissing her forehead. "How are you this morning?"

"You have no idea, how happy I am at this moment. You have made me the happiest woman alive right now." She smiled into the kiss she planted right on his lips.

"And I am the happiest man in the world, because of you." Elliot took her hand and kissed it softly.

They took the next two hours, to shower, eat breakfast, change, and leave, for the squad. Arriving at the squad, together, they began to start their work. Although they were now engaged, they swore that nothing would get in the way, of doing their jobs. Those that were engaged or married were never supposed to be partners, due to the fact that it would interfere with their job performances, But Cragen put in special request to keep his two best detectives together.

They had only sat down when Fin, Lake, and Munch, came in clapping and whistling. Elliot saw Olivia blush 20 different shades of red. He smiled at her.

Munch took his seat as his desk, while saying, "Took you guys long enough" Elliot looked at Olivia then both of them looked at Munch.

"Shut up Munch!" they yelled together.
