"What? What's going on?" Olivia asked and sat up straight in her bed and tried to get a glimpse of who was going to walk in before she did.

Dean Porter rushed in the room with a dozen flowers in a vase. They weren't red roses and that made Elliot a little irritated. If this guy liked Olivia so much, he should at least know her favorite flowers.

"Olivia, as soon as I heard, I-" He sounded like he was out of breath. It was obvious he had been rushing.

"Hey, haven't you done enough damage as it is, Porter? Maybe you should turn around before you make another mistake." Elliot said as he made his way towards him and stood in front of him to block his path.

"Nobody says I'm not allowed to see her. Especially not you, Stabler." Dean snapped back.

"Yeah? Well, the only way you're sure to see her is if you end up in that empty bed next to hers after I bash your face in. I don't think your little girlfriend wants to see you all marked up."

"That won't be happening."

"Oh, I'm sure it's not. What, did you fool her too?"

"If you really must know, we broke up the night Olivia left my house."

"I'd just leave if I were you. I think you've hurt her enough and she's already been through a good amount of pain tonight. Don't make it worse." Fin added.

"Call it a third party instinct, but I think Porter did something to Olivia that made Fin and Elliot angry." Munch spoke.

"Elliot, Fin, it's fine. Really." Olivia said. They both stepped aside and Dean made his way past them.

"I got these for you." He said with a bright grin and placed the Daisies on the windowsill.

"They're beautiful. Thank you." Olivia replied but didn't show as much affection like she would've if he hadn't hurt her. Only a minor smile was all she gave him.

"I just came by to say I'm sorry, and if you'd give me another chance we could-"

He turned to the group of Olivia's friends staring at them.

"Do you mind?" Dean asked.

"No, I don't mind at all. Go right ahead." Elliot said.

"Doesn't bother me one bit." Fin replied.

Dean sighed and turned back to Olivia, "We could go out again. This time nothing will go wrong and we can go out to restaurants a few times before going to one of our apartments and perhaps-" At this point, Dean was rambling and Olivia decided to stop him before he go too personal.

"Dean, that sounds really nice but I'm afraid I can't do that."

"Why not?" He asked with confusion all across his face.

"There's…someone else." She told him and smiled when she glanced up at Elliot who was smiling as well. He smiled lovingly at Olivia but if Dean were to turn around, he'd definitely be gloating.

"Oh, I see." Dean replied and straightened up. He fixed his jacket, "Very well. Olivia, feel better and hopefully we'll run into each other again." He said.

"Don't hold your breath." Fin told him. Dean glared at him and walked towards the exit. He stopped at Elliot before leaving.

"You're a lucky man, Stabler." He mumbled.

"Yeah, I know." Elliot replied and watched as Dean left the room. Everybody he walked past gave him the cold shoulder.

"As much as I want to stay here, I should get going." Melinda said and put on her jacket. "My daughter needs to go to bed and that won't be happening soon if I leave her with my husband." She walked over to Olivia and gave her a hug, "Feel better, Liv. I'll be back tomorrow."

Soon, everybody else made the same promise of visiting her the next day and left except Cragen and Elliot. "I should get going too. Do you want a ride back to the precinct, Elliot? You left your car there."

Elliot shook his head, "Nah, I'm gonna stick around here for a little while longer." He replied. Cragen nodded, said goodbye to Olivia, and left. Elliot took his seat right next to her bed.

"Go back to the apartment get some sleep. I'll be fine." Olivia said.

"Actually, I think I might spend the night here. This room seems better than sleeping in an apartment that you don't own by yourself."

"I'm a big girl, El. I don't need a babysitter."

"If I leave, you're stuck with lousy entertainment, horrible food, and nobody to talk to. I don't know about you but I wouldn't want to spend a few days living like that."

"Fine, but I'm not paying you." She said and looked up at the ceiling. Soon enough, her eyes slowly closed and she drifted off to sleep.

Two weeks later

After being released from the hospital and taking a few extra days off for some more healing time, Olivia was back at work. She went back to being and looking just as healthy as if nothing happened to her. They were finishing up for the day and most of the people were gone. Elliot was working when he felt something out of the ordinary. He looked up to see Olivia's brown eyes staring directly at him. She had a smile on her face that showed she was definitely thinking about something and by the look in her eyes it had to do with him.

"Penny for your thoughts?" Elliot asked as a smile slowly appeared.

"When I went over to Babs' apartment a while ago, she said you "had the hots for me" Well, before all of the other stuff happened." Olivia chuckled at the silly sounding comment and ran her fingers through her hair while looking down at her desk, "I didn't think it was true so I said it was never going to happen." She looked back up at him and smiled warmly.

"Never say never, Liv." Elliot replied and smiled just as kindly.

"Yeah? Well, never have I been so wrong in my life."

Elliot looked at her for a few seconds and turned off his computer, put his files away, stood up and grabbed his jacket. "I'm ready when you are." He said as he walked over to her desk and leaned on it.

Olivia packed up her things and stood up, "Let's go." Before she started walking out the door, the two shared a kiss. As hard as it was, they pulled away from one another and left.

The two arrived back at the apartment and while Olivia was going through her fridge to fix something for the two of them, Elliot sat on the couch and watched her.

"Want to just call for take out? We can go to the store tomorrow." She said then opened the pantry and smirked, "Or we can just have cereal."

Elliot walked up behind her and wrapped his muscular arms around her slender waist, "Actually, I think want something else tonight." He growled in her ear and began kissing her neck.

Olivia raised her eyebrow, "Really? What?" She asked, pretending as if she didn't already know the answer.

"You." His voice was indistinct since he was still attached to her neck.

Olivia smiled and closed her eyes, feeling Elliot's lips on her neck made her forget all about her hunger. She turned around to face Elliot and kissed him lustfully on his lips. After sharing a kiss of intense passion in Olivia's kitchen, she took his hand and pulled him towards the bedroom. When they entered, Olivia fell back onto the bed and looked up at him.

"Are we still on duty?" She joked.

"Well, Cragen's not here, we're not at the precinct, so I'm going to say no we're not."

"Great, come here." She said and sat up. She grabbed Elliot by the tie pulled him on top of her. Elliot managed to close the door behind him before he was forced to fall forward.

The rest is their little secret.

The End
