Once again instead of studying for finals like I should be...I've been writing. I hope you like this chapter, it's very Olivia/Elliot centered. I rated the story as a whole T but this chapter definitely moves towards an M rating but...whatever. Just warning you! I hope you like it :) I know you've all been rooting for them so I think you will be happy with the way they handle things. Let me know what you think after you read! :)
Saturday morning, Olivia woke up in her bed to the sleeping form of her husband. She stared at him, watching him sleep. He looked so peaceful, ever since Wednesday he had been making sure to give her space but also never straying to far. She couldn't deny that she was still feeling uncomfortable about everything and having her doubts but she also knew that she needed Elliot. So even if she wanted to leave him…she never would be able too.
Elliot's eyes fluttered open slowly and he saw her staring at him, their eyes met for a moment before he spoke. "Morning."
She smiled at him. "Good morning."
He yawned and rolled over onto his back. "What time is it?"
Olivia looked over him to the clock. "A little after ten."
Elliot groaned. "Why are we up? The prom isn't until tonight."
"Casey called after you fell asleep last night." Olivia said staring at him.
He moved his head to look at her. "What did she want?"
"Kathy was released from the hospital. They took her into custody…she said we can either press charges or just file for a restraining order." Olivia said. "Since nothing actually happened…we would have a weak case."
Elliot sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "Do we need to decide right now?"
Olivia sat up and stretched. "No. Not today."
Elliot watched her sit up and reached his hand out to her, rubbing her hand gently. "You okay?"
She turned to look at him, a small smile on her lips. "I'm fine."
"Are we okay?" He asked.
Olivia stared down at him before leaning down to kiss him gently. "Yes."
He put a hand on her cheek, caressing it softly. "All I ever wanted was to make you happy…you know that right?"
She nodded. "I know El."
She started to pull away when the bedroom door opened and Hannah walked in. "Mommy?"
Olivia turned to look at her daughter. "Hey sweetie…"
"Mommy I had a bad dream." Hannah said walking over to the bed.
Olivia leaned forward and lifted Hannah up onto the bed and pulled her in between her and Elliot. "What was your dream about sweetie?"
"Lizzie and Richie's Mommy was hurting you." Hannah said sniffling. "I heard Richie tell Kathleen that that's why you were in the hospital. That Kathy woman did something to you." Hannah looked up at Olivia with tear filled eyes. "Mommy I don't' want you to die."
Olivia stared at her before pulling her into her arms, she kissed the top of her head and rubbed her back. "Honey I'm okay. I was just in a car accident but I'm alright."
"Why doesn't she like you Mommy?" Hannah asked in her arms.
Olivia's eyes met Elliot's. "It's…it's complicated honey. You know that Kathy was married to Daddy before. She was just upset…she didn't mean to do anything bad. But I'm okay. You know I'm okay. I'm right here."
Hannah pulled away and looked at Elliot. "Is she going to hurt you now Daddy?"
Elliot sat up and put a hand on her small cheek. "No."
"You promise?" Hannah asked sniffling.
Elliot nodded. "Yes. I promise."
Hannah crawled from Olivia's lap to Elliot's and hugged him. "Okay. Because I don't want you or Mommy to die."
Elliot held her tightly. "Me either Hannah Banana. But we aren't going anywhere."
Hannah pulled back. "Good cuz I would miss you guys too much."
Elliot laughed. "We would miss you too."
Hannah looked back at her Mom. "Lizzie's been up for awhile. I heard her in her room."
Olivia stood up. "I'll go and talk to her. You stay with Daddy."
As she walked down the hallway she could hear Lizzie pacing in her room, like father like daughter she thought as she smiled to herself. Knocking gently on the door, she let herself in and saw a red eyed Lizzie.
"Hey kiddo…what's with the sad face? Today's your prom! You're supposed to be happy!" Olivia said.
Lizzie ran at Olivia and hugged her tightly; she had barely talked to Olivia since she had come home from the hospital. "How am I supposed to go to prom when you were almost killed just a few days ago?"
Olivia sighed and hugged her back. "Honey I'm fine."
Lizzie pulled back. "But you almost weren't! And my Mom is the one that did this to you!"
Olivia put two hands on her shoulders. "Lizzie nothing else bad is going to happen. I can promise you that."
"How do you know?" Lizzie asked sniffling.
Olivia sighed. "Okay. I don't know for sure but right now you're an eighteen year old kid who is going to go to prom and have the time of her life tonight." Olivia said smiling at her. "Don't let anything ruin tonight for you…we're all alive. We're all okay. That's all that matters."
Lizzie sighed. "I just don't feel right having fun knowing what's going on back home."
Olivia smiled at her. "Lizzie look at me…I'm okay. I'm alive…and I know this is confusing for you. You must have a lot of emotions about all this…you love your Mom and that's okay."
Lizzie shook her head. "No. I don't love her. Not anymore."
"It's not that easy." Olivia said. "She is your Mom…it's okay to love her."
"But she hurt you. She hurt Dad and Maureen…she hurt all of us." Lizzie said.
"I know. But that doesn't change the fact that she's your Mom." Olivia said.
"I'm not okay…" Lizzie whispered.
"No one expects you to be." Olivia said. "But what can I do to help you?"
"I think…I think that I should go talk to someone." Lizzie said sniffling. "I'm just so confused."
Olivia nodded. "You can do that. Why don't you go to prom tonight and then next week you're Dad and I will find someone for you to talk to. And if anyone else wants to go too we can do that."
Lizzie nodded. "Okay…"
Olivia pulled her in for a hug. "Okay…well why don't you get a few more hours of sleep. You're going to have a late night."
Lizzie smiled and pulled away from the hug. "Okay."
"I love you kid." Olivia said smiling. "Don't forget that."
"I love you too Olivia." Lizzie said hugging her again. "Always."
Olivia smiled as Lizzie pulled away and went back to bed, she walked down the hall and checked on the rest of the kids, both Adam and Richie were still sound asleep. She walked back to her bedroom and saw Elliot curled up with Hannah, Hannah was fast asleep, her head resting on Elliot's chest as he rubbed her back slowly.
Olivia leaned against the door frame and smiled at them, Elliot turned when he sensed her staring and he smiled at her. "Is Lizzie okay?" He whispered.
Olivia nodded. "Just a few pre prom jitters."
"Finn offered to stay with Hannah and Adam tonight." He said softly. "Do you want to go out just us?"
Olivia was quiet for a moment. "What did you have in mind?"
He smiled at her. "I just…need some time. With you. Alone."
She smiled and looked down at her feet. "Sounds good."
"Are you just saying that to make me happy?" He asked.
She lifted her head quickly and saw the pain in his eyes, he was still hurt about what she had said to him at the hospital. "You know I want to be with you El."
He smiled. "Do you trust me?"
"Of course." Olivia said.
"Okay then…after Lizzie and Dickie leave for prom meet me on the roof at your old apartment building." He said sitting up as he placed Hannah down on the bed so she could sleep longer.
She laughed. "What?"
He smiled. "Just do it."
Olivia stared at him. "El what are you doi-"
He walked over to her and kissed her lips gently. "Just…meet me there okay? I have to go into the office for a bit…Lizzie and Richie know why I'm missing them leaving. They are okay with it."
She watched as he grabbed a shirt and slipped it on over his head. "Wait I thought you didn't have to work today?"
"It's just for a few hours. Cragen needs me to finish some paperwork on a case. It won't take long." He said slipping of his shorts and putting a fresh pair of pants on.
"Okay…" She whispered, he walked up to her and put his hands on her hips. "El I-"
"I love you too." He said winking at her. "Casey should be coming by in awhile."
"For what?" Olivia asked.
"Just do what she tells you to do okay?" He asked smirking at her.
"Okay seriously…what's going on with you?" She asked. "What are you planning?"
"Nothing." He laughed. "Just…don't go snooping."
"Elliot Stabler…" She whispered.
"Olivia Stabler…" He said smiling at her. "Trust me." He leaned forward and kissed her gently before walking down the hall. "I'll see you later."
Olivia watched him go, her mind reeling with a million questions. For the first time in a long time she had butterflies in her stomach, Elliot hadn't been able to do that to her in years. She felt like they were just beginning to date all over again and she couldn't stop smiling. She had no clue what he was up too but she knew whatever it was…he was doing it to prove just how much she meant to him.
Smiling, she walked back into her bedroom and curled up with Hannah hoping to get a few hours of sleep before prom insanity set in.
Around six, Casey showed up at the house and helped Olivia do Lizzie's hair and make up. Olivia had to re do Richie's tie because he had just tied in a knot. When both of them were ready they drove off too their friends house to take pictures.
"I wish Elliot was here." Olivia said to Casey who had tagged along for the ride.
"He had to work." Casey said shrugging. "The kids get it."
"Yeah but he has time for a date with me tonight…I just feel bad." Olivia said shrugging.
Casey laughed. "Would you stop worrying for once in your life and just enjoy the moment? Lizzie looks great…Carlos is going to be here any minute and it's going to wipe that smirk of that slutty Jenna's face."
"Casey!" Olivia said trying not to laugh. "Jenna's parents are here."
Casey rolled her eyes. "Whatever."
"Olivia?" A voice called from behind her.
"Benito!" Olivia said smiling at him. "Hey you found the place."
"Yup." He turned to Lizzie. "Well Elizabeth you look radiant."
"Is that Benito Torez?" One of Lizzie's friends asked.
Lizzie nodded. "Yeah. He's an old friend of my step moms."
"What are you taking him to prom?" Jenna asked.
Lizzie smiled. "No not him."
Carlos walked out of the house and out onto the lawn to pose for pictures with Lizzie. "Sorry we're late. I had a last minute photo shoot."
Everyone in the room looked stunned and Casey and Olivia smiled at each other, Lizzie's face lit up. "That's my date."
Jenna's mouth opened in awe. "You're taking him? He's in all the best fashion ads! You are so lucky!"
Carlos smiled. "Oh stop…I'm the lucky one. I get to take the most beautiful girl in the world to prom."
Lizzie's face blushed. "Carlos…"
"You know if you guys don't leave soon…you're going to miss Prom." Olivia said smiling.
"Yeah we should get going." Richie said his arm draped over the shoulders of his prom date. "I don't want to miss the good food. I heard that comes out in the first few hours."
Olivia laughed. "Have fun!"
Richie and Lizzie walked over to Olivia and hugged her. "Thank you." Lizzie whispered to her.
"Don't mention it." Olivia said smiling. "Have a great night guys…"
Casey and Olivia watched as the kids all climbed into the car, Jenna looked pissed and Chase looked beyond jealous. Casey slipped her arm around Olivia's shoulders and smiled. "I think that went well."
Olivia laughed. "Me too."
"Alright…now Finn has Hannah and Adam." Casey said. "And it's my job to get you ready for your date."
Olivia looked at her. "El just told me to meet him on the roof of my old apartment…I don't think that requires me to get all dressed up."
"I beg to differ." Benito said walking up behind her. "A date with your husband is always an excuse to get dressed up."
"Well what the hell am I going to wear?" Olivia asked laughing.
"Follow me." Benito said smiling as he walked towards his car.
Casey ran after him excitedly it took her a minute but Olivia finally ran after them curiously. 'What is going on?"
"I think you'll find that this fits just perfectly." Benito said pulling a stunning royal blue gown out of his car.
Olivia's jaw dropped. "What…I can't…that is beautiful."
"And it's going to look even better on you." Benito said. "Now get in the car we don't have a lot of time, we don't want to keep Elliot waiting."
"Casey what is going on?" Olivia asked turning to her friend.
"Stop asking questions." Casey said laughing. "For once in your life just let someone do something for you! After everything you've been through in the past couple of months. I think you deserve a night off."
"I…" Olivia tried to think of a way to protest but Casey put her hand up and Olivia smiled. "Okay…"
"Great! Now lets play dress up!" Casey said pulling her into Benito's car.
They drove to a nearby hotel and did Olivia's hair and make up. Her hair was curled, the front strands were pinned to the side of her head with jeweled pins. She had the perfect amount of make up on, her eyes were smoky, her lips were covered in a light shade of lip stick and she had just a little bit of blush on.
The dress was off the shoulder and was free forming on her body to conceal her growing baby bump. It was floor length and trailed behind her for just a few inches and she had clear heels. The only jewelry she wore was her diamond engagement ring and wedding ring, a diamond pendant necklace Elliot had given her for their one year anniversary and matching earrings he had given her the following year.
Olivia looked at herself in the mirror and she started shaking which didn't go unnoticed by Casey who walked up behind her. "You're nervous."
Olivia looked at her in the mirror. "I hurt Elliot…I didn't mean too. I'm just worried I went to far."
Casey smiled and put a hand on her friends shoulder. "We see a lot of really terrible things everyday Olivia. Sometimes its hard to know what's real and what's not. The one thing I know that is real is the way you and Elliot love each other. That man would do anything for you…he would die for you. You know that. Don't let your fear ruin this…it's like I said when you were worried about him proposing…you deserve to be happy Liv. And I'll do whatever it takes to make you see that."
Olivia smiled and turned to her best friend. "Thank you Casey."
Casey smiled. "No problem. Now lets get you to your husband."
Olivia took a deep breath and followed Casey out of the hotel where Benito was waiting to drive them outside. The ride was silent on the way to her old apartment and the butterflies were back.
Casey just smiled and told Olivia this is where she left her. Olivia walked into the apartment and took the elevator to the roof hallway, she walked out the door to the roof and was shocked when she saw what was waiting for her.
Elliot had his back to her as he looked out over the city. He had set up a record player, a small table with dinner, there was also a bed with white sheets and lights were hanging off the railings and different parts of the roof making it glow.
"Elliot…" She whispered.
He turned when he heard his name and smiled when he saw her. "You look beautiful."
"What is this?" She asked staring at him in awe, tears pricking in her eyes.
He smiled and walked over to her, he was standing in front of her in a black tux looking as gorgeous as ever. "This Olivia is the prom you never had."
Olivia stared at him. "Lizzie told you…"
He smiled. "Yeah. She wanted you to have the prom you deserved."
Olivia shook her head. "Aren't we a little old for prom?"
Elliot chuckled. "There you go again calling me old…"
She smirked at him. "Elliot…"
He put his hand out for her. "This is our own personal prom. It doesn't matter how old we are. No one else is here to see it but us. That is…if you want to be my date."
Olivia stared at him for a moment, he had a small smile on his face and the amount of love that showed through his eyes melted her heart. "Of course I'll be your date." She said as she took his hand.
"Good answer." He squeezed her hand and led her over to where the table was set up. "Are you hungry?"
Olivia looked over at the bed ignoring his question. "Hoping to get lucky?"
Elliot chuckled. "Maybe…"
She raised an eyebrow. "Cocky bastard."
He smiled at her. "No…just hopeful."
She walked away from him and towards the railing of the roof. "I forgot how pretty it is up here."
He walked up behind her and rested his head against her shoulder, his hands wrapped around her stomach. "It is beautiful. I thought it would be the perfect place for this."
"Do you remember the last time we were up here?" Olivia asked leaning into his embrace.
Elliot smiled and kissed her shoulder. "Of course. It was the night before our wedding…your last night in this apartment complex."
"You were afraid I was going to run." Olivia whispered softly.
"You thought about it…" Elliot whispered.
She sighed. "Old habits die hard."
"Guess so…" Elliot whispered as he remembered that night.
Olivia sat up on the roof watching the city below her. Tomorrow she would put on a white dress and walk down the aisle to marry Elliot Stabler. There was no doubt in her mind that he was the love of her life…but that didn't mean she was scared out of her mind.
Nothing in her life had ever been simple. Her relationship with her Mother had been so complicated someone should have written a book on it. Her father was a rapist and she knew no other family, that was until she joined SVU and met Elliot, Finn, Munch, Casey, Alex and Cragen. They were the first people in the world that she ever actually let in.
She had always hoped that one day she would get married, but ad come to the conclusion that it would never happen for her. And then Elliot said those three magic words that she had so longed to hear: "I love you" and from that moment on everything changed. She started to believe that there was a possibility that she could have her happily ever after, if only she could find a way not to screw it up.
As if on cue she heard footsteps behind her. "You know it's bad luck to see the bride the night before the wedding."
Elliot pulled up a chair beside her that had been left on the roof. "Well I figured if I didn't show up tonight…you wouldn't show up tomorrow."
Olivia looked over at him, she should have felt hurt but his worries were justified. "I haven't made up my mind yet."
Elliot sighed and looked out at the city. "Well that means there is still hope."
She didn't take her eyes off of him. "I'm scared."
"Me too." Elliot said laughing still not turning to look at her. "I'm terrified. I have four kids and this is my second marriage."
"Do you believe that everyone deserves happiness?" Olivia asked.
Elliot shrugged and looked over at her. "I mean I guess so. But…some people don't deserve to live happily. All the perps we see everyday…they ruin so many lives. They don't deserve to live happily ever after."
"But what if…what if you weren't wanted to begin with? Then do you deserve to be happy?" Olivia asked.
Elliot groaned. "Liv how many times do we have to have this conversation?"
"I just…I've spent my whole life wondering if I belonged anywhere. I've always felt like an outcast…I have a hard time feeling like I deserve my chance to be happy. I've been thinking that way for over thirty years…It's hard to change that now." She said.
"Are you going to stand me up? Just tell me now…" Elliot whispered. "It will be easier to hear it from you then to get left at the alter."
Olivia stared at him for a moment and cupped his face in her hands. "No. I could never do that to you."
"You just said that you hadn't made up your mind yet." Elliot said softly.
"I meant I hadn't made up my mind on whether or not I deserved to be happy. I know that I want to marry you…I just don't know if I deserve you." She said honestly.
He stared at her for a moment. "You do so much for other people…why can't you do something for yourself?"
She laughed. "I don't know."
"If you let me Liv…I will love you for the rest of ours lives. I can give you the family you deserve. My kids adore you…and I want to have our own kids. But I need you to let me in…we've come so far since we started dating. Don't ruin it now." He said shaking his head. "Just…just let yourself be loved the way you deserve. Please."
Olivia leaned forward and kissed him passionately. "Okay."
Elliot smiled against her lips and cupped her face, kissing her gently. "Okay? Does that mean we're getting married?"
She laughed. "Yes. We're getting married."
Elliot laughed. "Good. Cuz I didn't want to have to resort to plan B."
"Plan B?" Olivia asked.
"Kidnapping you." Elliot said shrugging. "I already talked it through with Cragen and he would find a way for me not to get in trouble for it."
"Oh. Nice." Olivia said standing up. "Real nice."
Elliot stood up and picked her up as he swung her around. "Just show your pretty little face at that church tomorrow and I won't have to do it."
Olivia laughed as he set her down and she kissed him again. "No where else I'd rather be."
Elliot smiled confidently as Olivia pulled him in for a passionate kiss. He knew she wasn't going to stand him up at their wedding tomorrow but he knew she was still insecure. He just promised himself that he would find a way to prove to her that she did deserve this because the way he saw it, he couldn't live without her.
Olivia turned in his embrace to look at him. "I'm sorry I put you through that."
Elliot stared at her. "Why do you feel so insecure about us? Why don't you think you deserve this?"
Elliot had never fully asked her this question, she knew it was finally time to open up to him all the way, she owed him that much.
"Uh…There are a lot of reasons I guess." She said shrugging.
"Tell me." Elliot whispered. "Come sit down and tell me…maybe I can help."
Olivia let him lead her to the bed he had set up and she smiled at him softly. "When I was ten…that was the first time my Mom told me where I came from. She told me how my Father raped her and how she never wanted me. And I just felt…confused about who I was. But also guilty…"
"Guilty?" Elliot asked.
She sighed. "I was a constant reminder to my Mom about what had happened to her. He ruined her life and she could never move on when she had me there all the time. I would have done anything to take away my Mom's pain. As awful as our relationship was…and no matter how abusive she was towards me I could never hate her. She didn't do anything wrong…she didn't deserve to be raped."
"No one deserves to be raped." Elliot said reaching for her hand. "That's why you do this job everyday…to help people who were in your mothers position. I feel terrible that she had to go through that…but she brought you into this world and for that I'm grateful. And no matter how she treated you…you know deep down she loved you."
Olivia nodded. "I know. But…it's hard thinking a certain way your whole life and then having to change. She told me for years that I didn't deserve to be happy because of what I reminded her of. It stuck in my head…I never expected to meet you Elliot and I'm so happy I did…I just don't know if I'll ever not be damaged. I can't promise that I won't hurt you again and I hate that." She put a hand on his cheek. "I hate hurting you…it's the worst feeling in the world."
Elliot took her hand that was on his cheek and put it over his heart. "Liv…no relationship is ever perfect. We're going to have fights and we're going to hurt each other and I hate that too. But what I need from you is to just…" He sighed. "Just trust me enough to not push me away. I'm your husband…"
Olivia stared at him and then looked down at her hands. "Running is what I do best."
"We've been married for ten years now…we've had our ups and downs but you've never wanted to run before. At least not since we got married…what's so different about now?" Elliot asked.
"I don't know." Olivia said laughing to herself. "All this stuff with Kathy has just been really bothering me."
"She's just bitter." Elliot said. "But clearly she never loved me in the first place…I don't care what she thinks about how our marriage ended. Kathy ended it…not you. You have to know that."
"But I didn't think Kathy was an evil person…something drove her to this point. Someone…" She whispered raising an eyebrow.
"If it was anyone it was me…not you." Elliot said shaking his head. "I'm so angry for what she's put my kids through and you…but I don't for a second put any blame on you Liv. No one does."
Olivia nodded. "I do."
Elliot sighed. "This wasn't really how I pictured tonight to go…"
Olivia felt the tears burning in her eyes. "I'm sorry…I don't know what's wrong with me. I just…I'm so screwed up El. You don't deserve this…you went through all this trouble to set this up and I'm ruining it."
Elliot shook his head and turned to her again seeing the tears that were threatening to spill over. "Dance with me?"
Olivia just nodded her head and Elliot stood up to put a record on, it was Fleetwood Mac's Rumors album and "Songbird" began playing. It was the song that had played the first time they had argued when they first began dating. Olivia smiled as he walked back to her and put out a hand for her to take.
She let him pull her onto her feet and lead her to the makeshift dance floor. He wrapped his arms around her waist and hers went around his neck as she rested her chin on his shoulder, he held her close. "I don't want this to be the end of us…" Elliot whispered in her ear.
She was afraid to meet his eyes. "Me either."
"You know I'd do anything for you but I don't know if I can wake up everyday and be afraid that you're going to leave me." Elliot said swallowing the lump in his throat. "It hurts too much."
Olivia stared at her hands that were clasped around his neck and noticed how her engagement and wedding rings sparkled in the moonlight. "Elliot…"
"What?" He asked leaning the side of his head against hers.
"When we got married I promised to love you till death do us part…" She whispered. "And no matter how scared I am I'm going to promise you right now that I will never…ever leave you. I promise that from tonight on…I will never try and run again."
Elliot pulled back; still dancing with her he looked her in the eye. "Liv…"
She smiled sadly at him. "I know that probably sounds hard to believe but I…" She paused. "I don't know being here with you right now…seeing how hard you're trying to make this work…trying to make us work." She closed her eyes. "I may not think I deserve to be happy but I know you deserve to be happy." She opened her eyes to look at him, letting the tears fall from her eyes. "And if that means I have to swallow my pride and my fears…then I'll do it. I love you Elliot Stabler and I know I'm never not going to love you…that terrifies me but it's okay. I…I will be okay. I'll be okay if you're okay."
Elliot stopped dancing for a moment and just stared into her eyes. "You mean it? You're not leaving…"
She shook her head. "I've made a lot of mistakes in my life and I'm sure I've hurt a lot of people. But…the one person I could never hurt is you Elliot. I'm so unbelievably sorry for making you doubt me…that's the last thing I wanted to do. But you don't have to worry anymore…I'm not going anywhere as long as you want me I'm here."
Elliot leaned forward quickly to capture her lips with his, Olivia didn't fight him. She let him pull her as close to him as she could get. She felt the wetness of his tears and it only made her kiss him more passionately.
She knew this was what he needed, just to feel close to her and have her love him in the way he deserved…the way they both deserved. She didn't protest when he led her towards the bed, she knew it was probably wrong being up here but she didn't care. He had put this all together somehow so maybe they would be granted the privacy they needed, either way it didn't really matter.
"I love you so much." Elliot said as he began unbuttoning the back of her dress.
When he finished she let the dress fall to her feet as she pulled at his tie and ripped his jacket off. "I love you too. I'm sorry I ever gave you reason to doubt that."
Elliot unbuttoned his shirt and then let his hands roam her body before stopping on the growing baby bump, he rested his forehead against hers and let out a shaky breath. "Liv…you have given me two beautiful children and we have one more on the way. And my other kids…they look at you like a mother. You may never have expected this life but it's yours…we love you. We need you."
Olivia put her hands over his on her belly. "I need you guys too. I know that now."
He leaned forward and captured her lips with his again as he lifted her up and laid her down on the bed. His hands slid down her body and she shivered at the contact, it had been awhile since they had slept together but this was different. This wasn't just sex, it was more than just a physical need, it was an emotional need.
His lips found her neck and she arched her back into him moaning his name. His hands slid behind her back and unclasped her bra and tossed it aside.
"Take your pants off." Olivia groaned as his lips closed around her nipple.
Elliot laughed against her skin and sat up making her cry softly at the lack of skin on skin contact. He stood up and pulled his pants off before covering her body with his again. Olivia's hands scraped down his back making him groan as he pulled at the waistband of her panties.
"You're so beautiful." He whispered into her ear. "So beautiful…and all mine."
Olivia gasped as fingers found her center. "No…no."
Elliot pulled back. "What?"
"Just…I need you now." She whispered. "You…I can't…I…"
He cut her off as his lips found hers again as he slowly entered her making them both moan. She slipped her hands under his arms and held onto his shoulders as they rocked back and forth in unison.
Olivia rolled them over so she was on top; his hands wrapped themselves in her hair as she moved on top of him. She moaned as he pushed further into her.
"Elliot…" She gasped as his lips bit down on her ear lobe. "Oh God…"
"Love you. So much." He groaned into her ear. "Always."
She threw her head back as his hands moved to where they were connected, and touched her center. "Elliot!"
He flipped them over again, his hands holding the back of her head. "Look at me…"
Olivia opened her eyes slowly and bit down on her lip as he continued to move inside of her. "Oh my God…Elliot you're amazing."
He smiled as his lips connected with hers again, his hands held hers above her head. He squeezed them gently as he felt their release building. He knew that it had been rushed but it didn't matter, this was what they both needed right now.
Olivia…" He whispered. "I can't…"
She shook her head. "Me either. Let go…"
He looked deep into her eyes as he thrust into her one last time as her walls contracted around him. "Olivia…"
"Elliot!" She screamed as the waves of pleasure coursed through her body.
Elliot collapsed on top of her, his head resting in the crook of her neck. "Sorry…" He whispered.
She laughed and held him close. "Don't be."
Sighing he moved to her side and pulled her right up to his side, her head resting on his chest. "God Liv…"
She kissed his chest softly. "That was amazing."
"Sorry I didn't last longer…" He whispered.
She smiled and rolled over on top of him as he pulled the sheet over them. "I was right there with you."
"I needed that." He said sighing as he cupped her face in his hands. "I needed you."
Leaning forward she kissed him gently. "El I'm so, so sorry for what I put you through."
He shook his head. "It's all okay. Tonight you opened up to me…you let yourself be vulnerable and that means the world to me. Thank you."
Olivia smiled. "No, thank you." She kissed him again gently. "Best. Husband. Ever."
Elliot chuckled softly. "Glad you think so."
"How did you set this all up?" Olivia asked, "I mean…we should probably get dressed incase anyone comes up here but I really don't want to move."
Elliot laughed. "Well…seems that all the people in this building really liked you." He said. "I talked to your old land lord Mr. Tennyson and he said he thought you deserved a perfect night. So Finn, Munch and I got the bed and everything up here and Mr. Tennyson just told everyone they were doing maintenance up here so they couldn't come up. We should have the rest of the night to ourselves."
"Wow you really thought this through…" She said tracing lines on his chest.
He smiled. "I try."
Leaning down she kissed his chest softly before resting her chin on his chest and looked shyly up at him. "You know I meant what I said before…I won't push you away anymore. I promise…I'm not saying I'm going to be perfect but I promise that no matter what happens I won't push you away."
His hand found her hair again as he twirled it through his fingers. "You don't know how much that means to me Liv…"
"I love you Elliot Stabler." She whispered. "Always have. Always will."
"I promise to never let anyone hurt you the way Kathy hurt you…but I won't keep things from you." He said honestly. "I'll be more honest."
"So let's just say from here on out…we're starting a new chapter in our relationship. Whatever has happened in the past is the past…lets just focus on our present and our future. Can we do that?" She asked.
"I can. Can you?" He challenged.
She smiled at him. "Yes."
"Alright then." He rolled her over onto her back and kissed her passionately on the lips. "Today is a new day for us."
"Deal." She said smiling at him.
"Deal." He said kissing her gently. "Now…I don't know about you but I'm starving."
Olivia laughed. "Oh yeah…we're at prom."
Elliot groaned and sat up. "This better not be what Lizzie and Richie are doing at prom."
Olivia laughed and wrapped the sheet around her as he put his hands back on before walking over to the table to get their food. "They're good kids. They wouldn't do that."
Elliot sat down beside her and handed her a plate. "Thank you for helping Lizzie out by the way…I know tonight meant a lot to her."
Olivia smiled. "She looked beautiful."
"It's probably better that I wasn't there…" He said smirking. "I probably would have freaked out when I saw her with Carlos. She's my little girl."
"They are growing up fast…" Olivia said as she began to eat.
Elliot nodded sadly. "I'll miss them around all the time next year."
Olivia smiled. "We'll still see them all the time. And we're going to have a new baby to take care of…we'll be very busy."
Elliot smiled. "Very true."
"I'm excited…" She said smiling at him and putting a hand on her stomach. "But nervous…"
Elliot laughed. "You and me both. I've done this so many times I should feel fine. But…you always get nervous about a new baby."
Olivia put a hand on his cheek. "Thank you for making me a Mom...again."
Elliot leaned forward and kissing her. "Thank you for making me a Dad…again."
She laughed and pushed aside the food before throwing herself at him again making him laugh. Elliot held her close and thanked God that she was finally letting all her walls down…he wasn't scared anymore. He knew she wouldn't run again…but if for some reason she did…he would follow her to the ends of the earth.
