After a beautiful night of making love and rigorous packing during the day not to mention a long flight to Hawaii, Elliot and Olivia were finally settled at their hotel. They were so beat that they were laying down in bed side by side not even attempting to do anything.

"How are you feeling?" Elliot asked worried about her.

Olivia yawned and rolled onto her side to rest her head on his chest. "I'm alright."

"You should probably eat something. We can order food from the kitchen if you want." Elliot said running his hands through her hair.

Olivia sat up and smiled down at him. "Yeah I guess I should eat something." She put a hand on her belly. "Baby Stabler is getting hungry…"

Elliot smiled and sat up; he leaned down and kissed her stomach before reaching for the menu beside the bed. "What do you want? It's all free so get as much as you want." He said smirking at her as he handed her the menu.

Olivia smiled and opened it up. "Well let's see here…what are you in the mood for?"

Elliot shrugged. "I could go for a nice big steak."

Olivia laughed. "Of course you could. You're not paying for it."

Elliot smiled. "Exactly."

Olivia smiled. "Okay so you want the T-bone steak then?" He nodded. "And…I want the salmon."

"Why do you have to be so healthy all the time?" He asked. "You make me look bad."

Olivia smiled at him. "I'm pregnant. I want to make sure I eat things that are good for the baby…" She paused. "But also things I'm craving which is why I'll also be ordering a giant sundae for after."

Elliot laughed and took the menu from her before leaning over to make the call. Olivia got up and walked around the huge hotel room they had and looked into the bathroom at the large tub. She was tired, and felt like she needed to shower from the long flight. She figured the food would take awhile so she slipped her clothes off and turned the water on before picking the type of bubbles she wanted to use.

She heard Elliot on the phone and then rummaging in his bag as she slipped into the warm bath. She sighed and rested her head against the back of the tub, she couldn't help but smile. She had never felt so relaxed and happy in her life.

"Liv?" Elliot called from the bedroom.

"In here." She said from the tub as she ran her fingers through her hair.

Elliot poked his head around the corner and smiled when he saw her. "I thought we were going to eat."

She smiled. "We are. But the tub looked so inviting and its probably going to take awhile to cook anyway…I couldn't help it."

Elliot walked over to her and smiled as he knelt down beside the tub. "You look incredibly sexy."

She smirked at him. "You can join me if you want…"

Elliot started to pull at his shirt. "They did say it would take 30 minutes…"

"So what are you waiting for then?" Olivia asked.

Elliot stripped his clothes off and then slid into the tub in front of Olivia, he sat between her legs as she wrapped them around his waist. He rested his head against her collarbone and breathed her in as he relaxed into the warm soapy water.

"This is perfect…" Elliot said as he closed his eyes.

She wrapped her arms around his shoulders and rested them against his chest; Elliot held her hands close to his heart. "Yes. It is."

"Can I ask you something?" Elliot asked softly.

She kissed the side of his face. "Of course."

"When you were in Oregon…" He paused. "Did you think about me?"

Olivia was quiet for a moment. "Is that a rhetorical question?" She teased.

Elliot chuckled. "So that means yes?"

Olivia smiled. "I hated it there…I missed you. I mean I missed everyone at the precinct…but especially you." She paused. "I felt really alone…I was so used to having you by my side to watch my back. And then you just weren't there…"

"I kissed Dani." He whispered. "I don't know why I did it…I was just so screwed up."

Olivia waited before saying. "Did you have feelings for her?"

Elliot shook his head against her. "No. I just felt so alone…Kathy and I were split up. And then…you were gone. I didn't even get to say goodbye to you…I couldn't stand thinking that you had left with us on bad terms. I was worried you weren't coming to come back."

Olivia sighed. "I thought about not coming back."

"I thought you said you hated it there?" Elliot asked curiously.

"I did. But you know me…I don't like facing my problems. I figured it would be easier to deal with living there rather than face you. I was confused. I didn't know how I felt about you…or I did but I just didn't want to admit it. I thought you hated me. I didn't want to go back to New York and realize that I had lost you completely…" She whispered.

He held her hands tighter against his chest. "I never hated you. I never will…it was just so complicated."

Olivia laughed. "Yeah. I know."

"You know…when we were in the warehouse with Gitano…when I had that gun against my head…" He felt Olivia shiver at the memory. "I was scared…I really was. I was worried about my kids but they had Kathy…I knew she would take care of them. I was sad that I wouldn't get to watch them grow up…but I knew they would be okay. I didn't want to die…but for some reason I was ready to die because you were there with me…"

She felt the tears welling up in her eyes. "I don't understand…"

Elliot sighed. "If you had been the last thing I saw before I died…I would have been able to accept it. I felt safe with you there…"

Olivia licked her lips. "I never could have pulled that trigger Elliot…"

He lifted one of her hands and kissed it gently. "I know. I couldn't do that to you either…I couldn't do it with Roja…"

"Did you mean it when you said we couldn't be partners anymore?" Olivia asked softly.

Elliot sighed again. ""No. And yes...I didn't want to lose you as a friend. But I didn't think that we could keep pretending that there was nothing going on with us."

"And yet we did…" She said laughing. "For a very long time…"

"That's because we are both ridiculously stubborn." Elliot said chuckling.

Olivia bit her lip. "Can I ask you something now?"

Elliot nodded. "Sure."

She paused. "Don't get mad okay?"

Elliot sat up in the tub so he could face her, the tub was large so he leaned his back against the opposite side so they were face to face. "Okay…"

"I love Eli…I really do. He's such an amazing kid…" She paused feeling her cheeks redden. "But…if Kathy didn't get pregnant…"

He interrupted her. "I wouldn't have gone back to her."

Olivia stared at him for a moment. "Are you mad?"

He shook his head. "No. It was a valid question. Sleeping with Kathy…it was a mistake but I don't regret it because I got my son from it." He shrugged. "But we shouldn't have been together…it wasn't good for us to get back together."

She pulled her legs up against her chest. "Do you think we would have gotten together sooner then?"

Elliot nodded. "Yeah I do…"

She smiled. "Well I suppose there is no use living in the past…"

Elliot moved towards her and leaned in to kiss her. "Nope. Especially when our future looks so bright…"

Olivia put her hands on his cheeks and smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too Olivia. Always have…" He kissed her again.

They were basking in the warm water and the feel of their bodies against each other when there was a knock on the door. "Room Service." A voice said.

Elliot sighed. "Still hungry?"

Olivia laughed. "Very…"

Elliot sat up and grabbed a towel and a robe. "Yeah me too…but not for food."

Olivia giggled and got her own robe. "I'll make it up to you later baby…we have the whole week for that."

Elliot walked towards the door. "I'm going to hold you to that Mrs. Stabler…" He said winking at her.

Olivia couldn't help but smile at his words before she walked to the table and waited for Elliot to bring over the food. This was definitely not how she thought her life would turn out…but she wasn't complaining.

The next afternoon Olivia was in the bathroom doing her hair. They were going to go sight seeing around the island. She was running a brush through her hair when she suddenly felt a kick, she jumped and dropped the brush into the sink as she yelped.

Elliot stuck his head into the bathroom. "Are you okay?"

Olivia put a hand on her stomach and looked over at him and smiled. "I just felt the baby kick for the first time…"

Elliot smiled at her and walked into the bathroom, she took his hand and put his hand where hers had been. "Does it hurt?"

Olivia laughed. "No…but it feels really weird."

"That's a strong kick for such a little guy." Elliot said smiling. "Must take after his Mom…"

Olivia laughed. "We're really having a baby…"

Elliot smiled knowing how much this meant to her, he leaned forward and kissed her forehead. "Yeah we are Liv. We really are…"

She wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him tightly unable to keep from smiling. She had never felt so happy in her life…

Twenty minutes later they were walking hand in hand through a public park. There was a beautiful waterfall ahead, Elliot was taking pictures of things as they walked.

"I still can't believe everyone down at the precinct paid for all this…" Olivia said.

Elliot chuckled. "I know. Especially Munch…I've never met a cheaper man in my life."

Olivia giggled. "We should probably get them gifts…you know as a thank you."

Elliot nodded. "Yeah sure. We can do that."

"I was thinking about how we have to pick Godparents…" Olivia said.

Elliot nodded. "Yeah. I guess we do. Who were you thinking?"

"Well Casey is my best friend…" Olivia said. "I thought she would make the perfect Godmother. If anything were to happen to us I would trust her completely with our child."

Elliot nodded. "I think that's a good pick."

"And I can't decide who should be the Godfather…we have a few choices." She paused and looked at him. "Which is why I'm going to leave that decision completely up to you."

Elliot laughed. "Gee thanks…"

She smiled at him. "I figure it's only right since I picked the Godmother."

"No you just don't want to pick between Fin and John." Elliot said shaking his head unable to stop smiling.

"Yes that's part of it…" Olivia said squeezing his hand tighter. "I mean…how could we possibly pick one or the other?"

Elliot stopped and turned towards her. "Well…who says we have to choose one or the other?"

Olivia stared at him for a moment. "What do you mean?"

Elliot shrugged. "Why can't they both be Godfathers?"

Olivia thought about it for a moment. "We can do that?"

Elliot laughed. "Yeah sure…why not?"

Olivia smiled. "I just thought you had to pick one or the other…"

"Let's face it Liv…nothing you and I have ever done in this relationship whether we were just friends or more was ever conventional. So why should we start doing what everyone else does now?" Elliot asked chuckling.

Olivia smirked. "You make a good point…"

He smiled. "So then it's settled. Casey will be the Godmother and Munch and Fin will be the Godfathers."

"It's settled." She agreed and turned to begin walking again.

"When we go back to New York we need to buy furniture for the nursery too." Elliot said as they continued to walk.

Olivia nodded. "Yeah we do." She paused. "I've been thinking about whether or not we should find out the sex of the baby. Did you and Kathy know?"

"With Maureen, Kathleen and Eli we decided to be surprised. With the twins we had them tell us." Elliot said. "Do you want to know?"

Olivia shrugged. "Kind of. I mean it may sound silly…but I want to be able to decorate the room knowing exactly what we are going to have."

"That's not silly." Elliot said. "I understand that."

"So…we can find out the sex?" Olivia asked smiling at him hopefully.

Elliot nodded. "Yep."

Olivia sighed happily. "Wow you're so easy today…I like it."

Elliot laughed and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. "Not every conversation is going to be like this dear…"

She laughed and put an arm around his waist. "Fine…" She teased.

Elliot kissed the top of her head. "It's not going to be easy being married to you is it?"

"Is anything with me ever easy?" She asked honestly.

Elliot laughed again. "Touché…"

"It may not always be easy…but it will be worth it." She paused. "Right?"

Elliot smiled down at her. "Right."

Later that night they lay in bed after a passionate session of making love. Olivia was tracing circles on Elliot's chest as he ran his fingers through her hair.

"Remind me again why we waited so many years to do that?" Elliot teased.

Olivia laughed and kissed his chest. "Because we're stupid."

"Oh yes…that's right." Elliot said nodding. "I forgot."

Olivia rolled onto her back and sighed happily as she pulled the sheet up around her. "I guess we'll just have to make up for lost time for the rest of our lives."

"You mean have sex everyday multiple times a day? Cuz I would be okay with that…" Elliot said rolling onto his side and propping his elbow up to rest his head in his hand as he smirked at her.

Olivia chuckled. "You're impossible…"

Elliot smiled. "Just one of the many things you love about me." Olivia laughed again and began to close her eyes, Elliot looked at her body and began to memorize each part of her. "Hey…what's this scar from?" Elliot put his finger on a faded scar on her shoulder that he had never noticed before.

Olivia opened her eyes. "What?"

He pointed at the scar again. "This scar…where did you get it?"

Olivia lifted her arm and stared at it for a moment. "Oh. God I haven't thought about that in years…forgot I even had it." She looked at him and smiled. "It's not important."

Elliot shrugged. "So just tell me. I want to know everything about you…"

Olivia smiled and then took a deep breath. "Okay…well when I was in College I met this guy. Fell in love…pretty quickly. My Mom hated him…which is probably why I loved him so much." She laughed. "We were together for about two years…he wanted to get married right after we graduated. I knew I wanted to go to the Police Academy and he didn't like it…"

Elliot swallowed hard; he had a feeling he wasn't going to like where this conversation was going. "He hurt you?"

Olivia sighed. "One night we went out with friends…had a little to much to drink…" She shrugged. "We went back to our apartment and got into a fight…one thing led to another and before I knew it he pushed me up against the mirror in our bedroom and it shattered. Some of the pieces ripped through my shirt and into my shoulder…left a scar."

Elliot sat up and stared at her for a moment. "You never told me that before…"

Olivia sat up and leaned against the headboard. "It was so long ago I didn't think it was important…"

"We deal with domestic violence all the time. I didn't realize you went through it…" Elliot whispered, his voice raw with emotion.

Olivia smiled at him. "El it never happened again. I broke up with him…we realized we weren't good for each other. He apologized…he felt terrible."

"He never should have put his hands on you." Elliot said sternly.

Olivia nodded. "I know."

Elliot reached a hand over and cupped her face in his hands. "I would never hurt you like that…"

She smiled and leaned into his touch. "I know that."

"I'm sorry you had to go through that…I'd kill him if I could." Elliot said grimacing.

Olivia shrugged. "It wasn't the best moment in my life and I'll admit it may have changed my perspective on relationships…but it made me stronger."

Elliot stared at her for a moment. "You amaze me."

Olivia leaned her head against the wall. "Oh stop…"

He laughed. "No I really mean it…no matter what you go through you never give up. Even if you are in pain…you push through. How do you do that?"

Olivia was quiet for a moment before smiling at him. "I won't pretend that there were moments when I thought it would be easier to just give up." She paused. "But I guess I just had to believe that someday something good would happen that would make me forget all about my past."

"And did something happen that made you forget about your past?" Elliot asked curiously.

Olivia smiled and leaned forward to kiss him gently. "Yeah. You did."

She leaned back against the headboard again and Elliot just stared at her. "I did that?"

Olivia nodded. "Mhm. You were the first person I ever really trusted. I felt comfortable with you…seeing you with your kids made me think that someday I could have that too. I thought if I had a family of my own…I could be okay. I could be happy…"

Elliot leaned forward and pushed a strand of hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. "Are you happy?"

Olivia smiled and let out a soft breath. "I've never been happier Elliot…"

Elliot swallowed hard trying to fight the emotion in his voice. "I want to always make you happy Olivia…always."

She traced the sides of his face with her finger. "El as long as you stay with me…you will make me happy. Always…"

Elliot put a hand on her belly and felt the baby kick. "I will never leave you. Never again…"

She smiled at him and whispered. "I know."

"This is real…you and me forever." Elliot whispered. "Nothing will ever change that."

"It better not." She teased. "I mean who else would put up with me?"

Elliot smiled and leaned forward to capture her lips with his, she kissed him back before pushing him back and rolling him onto his back. She straddled his hips and vowed to show him just how happy he made her. Nothing could change the way they loved each other because they were soul mates.

Kind of a shorter chapter I know but I have a lot going on with midterms and stuff so I'm pretty busy. But I hope you like the cut moments between them :) Ill try and update soon !
