Olivia smiled thinking of the perfect place. She wanted somewhere calm and with a beach she could relax on. She didn't want anything luxurious; she wanted somewhere she would feel comfortable. As she was thinking, a wonderful idea crossed her mind. "I want a small house on the beach, that's all I want," she whispered and rested her head on his chest enjoying his touch as he stroked her back.

"That's great, my brother has a small house on the beach, I think I could ask him if my beautiful lady and I could borrow it," Elliot proposed. That night they fell asleep earlier than the other nights. He could understand what she was getting through. Firstly she had to deal with his absence, then she had to deal with the miscarriage and now she had to deal with Paul's death. It has been a hard year.

Elliot couldn't imagine what his life would be like when he was married to her. He knew it would be perfect; he just wanted a life with her, create a family with her and spend the rest of his life with her, nothing else.

The next morning they drove to the beach wondering what it would be like to spend a whole month only spending time with each other and the beach. She knew this time away from the job meant they would be taking the time think about what they wanted and make a few decisions. Olivia knew what she wanted and she was sure he wanted the same; just peace, each other and a wonderful family. That was all.

Once they arrived they spent time settling into the small and comfortable house. It was just what they needed to get to know each other once again. They decided to walk around the beach.

It was windy, on the beach; he enjoyed watching her hair moving with the wind's rhythm. She closed her eyes and took his hand in hers and started to walk. The sun was hiding in the horizon, showing brilliant colors impossible to see in the skies over the busy streets of NY. They sat on the sand staring towards the horizon. Olivia was the first one to speak. She needed stability for once in her life, and she needed it from him.

"What's going to happen now?"

He turned to look at her. He was surprised when he found her staring into the water and not at him. He knew she wanted to feel safe, she wanted something solid, something that would not break in her hands. He lifted her face with both of his hands and stared into her eyes before answering. "We are going to get married. We are going to create a beautiful family together, full of kids and smiles. I need you to remember something for the rest of your life, Liv, okay?"

She nodded, slowly smiling. There were tears in her eyes; there always were when he spoke to her like that. She nodded again allowing him to continue. "I need you to remember that I love you more than you could ever imagine. I love you more than I ever thought possible." He ended his words with a kiss on her forehead. A single tear fell from her eye and he wiped it away with his thumb.

She neared him and kissed him. It took only a second for the kiss to become more passionate and Elliot ended up lying on top of her. He stopped when he remembered his dream, his nightmare. He sat and turned to Olivia who was lying on the sand looking at him. He placed both of his hands on her throat feeling her pulse with his fingertips. He also felt the air she was breathing pass through her throat, how she slowly swallowed. She would never let anyone place their hands where he was placing his right now. She trusted him more than she had ever trusted anyone. "What happened?" she asked placing her hand on top of his.

"Nothing. I had a dream, more a nightmare than a dream. Something stupid, don't worry," he whispered as he pulled his hands away from her throat. "I'm sorry if I hurt you."

"You didn't hurt me, but you can tell me what you dreamed, baby," she insisted because she knew it was not something stupid, because he wouldn't have pressed his hands to her throat if it was something stupid.

She sat next to him and placed a hand on his back encouraging him to tell her. As he was about to speak, he grabbed her and hugged her tightly. "I lost you in my dream," he whispered and she knew he was crying, even though he was trying to hide it.

She closed her eyes and spoke. "I'm here El, I'm not going anywhere." After a long while, both stood and walked to the house. It was getting dark and both were hungry.

They spent the month just talking about what would happen and enjoying being with each other. The subject of having a baby was raised twice and both agreed they wanted to have one.

On their last day there, Olivia had something very special and unexpected to tell him. She decided the best place and moment to tell him was on the beach; in exactly the same place where they had spent their first day. She hadn't said anything but Elliot had already figured out she needed something to say.

When the sun was staring to hide in the horizon they decided to take their last walk on the beach. The weather was getting warm and they both liked that. They walked side by side holding hands. In this month they had learnt to trust each other again, to talk to each other the way they used to, to love each other the way the used to.

Once they reached their place, they both sat and wrapped their arms around the other. Olivia was resting her head on his chest and he was stroking her arm slowly. He kissed her forehead and she spoke, she almost whispered it. She closed her eyes briefly. "I'm pregnant,"

He thought he hadn't heard it correctly, but when she lifted her head to watch his reaction, he knew he had heard it right. A small and sweet smile crossed his face as some tears fell. He just sat staring at her laughing and crying at the same time. He wasn't able to say anything. She started to laugh and cry at the same time as well. He took her in his arms and hugged her. "You're amazing," he whispered to her ear.

He laid her on the sand and started to kiss her as he had never kissed her before. He was laughing, crying and kissing her at the same time. He then turned to her stomach and kissed it completely. "I love you too, baby," he whispered.
