Back To You
Part 20
Few Days Later
"Mommy are you ready?!"
Olivia smiled to herself as Noah's voice filtered through her ears due to him shouting in the direction of her closed bedroom door. She had just pulled skinny jeans over her hips to team with a black t-shirt she was wearing, and she was going to step into her Converse sneakers in a moment.
It had been a pretty long week for the most part. She had taken Monday and Tuesday off to spend time with Noah, though she had managed to squeeze in some time with her psychiatrist on Tuesday afternoon as well whilst Lucy had taken Noah out for some ice cream. She returned to work on Wednesday, and luckily, the work days had run smoothly as the detectives had a few open and shut quick cases to deal with.
And now today was Friday, and Olivia and Noah were meeting Elliot and the rest of the Stabler kids at a burger place that was a couple of blocks away from her apartment building.
She was grateful that she had managed to finish work early today; she had returned home around four and relieved Lucy of her babysitting duties. She and Noah watched some television until around five, then finally began getting ready as they had planned to meet the Stablers between six and six-thirty. Noah was already dressed in a pair of jeans and a grey t-shirt which he wore under his favorite blue hoodie, as well as his little black and white Converse. He was currently sitting in the living room, waiting for her, whilst she finished getting ready.
"I'll be right out, sweetheart!" Olivia shouted back as she buttoned her jeans. She smoothed out her t-shirt, before slipping her feet into her crisp white Converse sneakers. She grabbed a black sweater and slipped it on, before grabbing her bag. She looked at herself in the mirror once more. She had straightened her hair a bit, allowing the brunette locks to flow over her shoulders and down to the top of her back. She wore a bit of eyeliner and eye shadow, as well as some nude colored lipstick as well. She looked perfectly beautiful yet casual, and though her stomach was doing somersaults, she was excited for this dinner.
She grabbed her phone and keys from the bed before emerging from the bedroom. Noah looked up with a bright smile on his face, before turning off the television and bouncing over to her. She grabbed hold of his hand before leading him out of the apartment, shooting a text to Elliot as they made their way to the elevator.
'5:45pm – Leaving the apartment now; we'll be there in a few!'
"Aunt Liv!"
Eli was waving excitedly as Olivia entered the burger place whilst holding Noah's hand; his voice had captured her attention and led to her waving back before she and Noah began making their way over to the table. The group was seated at a big table towards the back of the restaurant; Maureen, Kathleen, Lizzie, and Dickie were seated beside one another, Eli was sat in between Elliot and Maureen. Everyone was smiling as Olivia and Noah approached, it seemed that a happy aura had picked up around the group now that the case was over and they were all safe again. The other four children greeted her excitedly while Eli wandered over for a big hug; despite being ten years old, he still loved a good hug and especially one from the woman whom he'd always had a special connection with. Elliot greeted her with a peck on the cheek and greeted Noah with a high five, before gesturing for them both to sit down. Noah sat between the two adults which left Olivia to sit beside Lizzie. Noah felt a bit shy with these new people around apart from Elliot, and so hugged Olivia's arm whilst he looked around with a shy smile on his face.
"Who is this adorable guy?" Maureen gushed, giving him a smile.
"This is my son, Noah," Olivia did the introductions, pointing out everyone as she did so; "Noah, this is Maureen, and this is Kathleen, and this is Lizzie, and this is Dickie, and this guy here is Eli."
"Hi." Noah greeted quietly, waving at them.
"It's cool to meet you, Noah," Kathleen smiled at the little boy, "You have the coolest Mom ever, just so you know."
"She's the coolest." Noah returned the smile as he clung to Olivia's arm some more before looking up at her. Olivia smiled and kissed his forehead as a feeling of happiness and contentment washed over her.
As the evening ticked on, Noah's shyness disappeared, and he found his voice again, regularly chatting away with the others as they got to know him. He ended up finding quite the friend in Eli especially, leading to him ultimately switching places with Elliot so he could sit beside the little boy whilst Elliot sat next to Olivia. The group enjoyed their tasty burgers and fries, the older Stablers continued to engage in conversation with Olivia and catch her up on what they were doing in their lives now. Their stories filled Olivia's heart, especially since she had basically watched these children go from small humans to fully grown young adults and had seen the ups and downs that came with them growing up as well. She was truly proud of them all, and she was proud of both Elliot and Kathy for raising such wonderful, respectful children.
In addition to catching up on each other's lives, of course the older children wanted to know about the relationship between the two adults. Even though Olivia knew that Elliot had already talked to them, she still felt the need to reiterate that nothing ever happened in those twelve years during their partnership. The children all explained that there was no need for the explanation, that they understood years ago that they had always been just best friends. They expressed their happiness at the recent development between the two adults, something that put Olivia at ease and let to her leaning her head on Elliot's shoulder whilst he kissed her forehead.
After a while – after they were stuffed from the burgers and mountain of fries they had eaten - the older Stablers decided to take their youngest brother and Noah to the arcade area for a bit. As the others headed over to the games, Kathleen strayed behind a bit to speak to her father and Olivia.
"What's up, Katie?" Elliot asked.
"I know we've all said it, but we really are happy for you guys, honestly," she paused for a second before continuing, "We know that nothing ever happened between the two of you, but Dad, I also know that Mom lost you a long time ago – not physically, but emotionally."
Olivia was stunned into silence; she remembered when Kathy said these exact words to her that day when they were talking outside of Kathleen's room at the hospital. Elliot opened his mouth to speak, but Kathleen held up her hand;
"I still remember the first time Olivia came over for dinner; when Mom realized that Benson was a woman, the look on her face was priceless," she let out a laugh, "Anyway, I was only like ten, but I knew something was different between you guys; like the way she finished your sentences, or the way you guys would have these inside jokes. You called her 'Liv' that night; any other time you called her 'Olivia'. It was obvious that night, and it only grew deeper as the years went on."
"Kathleen, I loved your mother." Elliot told her.
"I know you did, Dad," Kathleen nodded her head, "And you guys did great, staying together to make sure we had some stability, and even though we know Eli wasn't planned, you stayed together again to make sure he had some stability too. But your stability was always with Olivia, even when you were angry with her, she was still your stability. Olivia understood you the way nobody – not even Mom – could have ever done."
She then looked at Olivia, who was looking back at with glistening tears in her brown eyes.
"Liv same goes for you. My Dad has always understood you the way nobody else could, and he was your stability. You two have always been so connected, deeper than best friends should be. We know you never physically acted on those feelings, and we appreciate that – we appreciate you, Liv, for pushing your own feelings aside and going to bat for our family constantly even when Dad was being a hothead, and we appreciate you Dad for not only staying for our family, but for respecting Olivia enough to not act on anything."
She stood up, brushing her palms over her jeans;
"But dammit, we're all grown up now and Eli obviously knows what's going on. Do us a favor guys? Be happy – be together and be each other's stability. Besides, we wanna hang out with Noah more too, and I think Dickie likes the idea of having another little brother around."
"Katie-"
"I know you guys aren't getting married or anything like that, at least not anytime soon, but please just stay together and Dad, if you mess it up with her, I'll kick your ass myself."
Kathleen then turned on her heel and went to join her siblings and Noah at the arcade section. Olivia and Elliot simply looked at each other, before bursting into laughter together as he hugged her into his chest.
"Katie has always been the most outspoken one of all your kids," Olivia managed to calm down before she looked up at him, "I'm glad they're all okay with it and happy for us."
"I told you they were, and they had bets on us anyway," Elliot then leaned his head down, pecking her lips before nudging her nose with his, "It is time for us to be happy I suppose, and I don't know about you, but I'm pretty happy like this, with you."
She leaned in and kissed his lips, stroking his cheek with her thumb before whispering;
"I'm pretty happy like this, with you too."
The remainder of the evening was spent laughing and joking with the Stablers. As the time grew closer to nine, Noah was growing increasingly tired as was Eli, signaling it was time for the group to part ways for the evening. Elliot and Olivia hugged all the children goodbye, and even Noah bid them farewell after giving hugs to the girls and high fives to Dickie and Eli. After waving the kids off, Elliot sweetly drove Olivia and Noah home, and even sweetly carried Noah inside as he had fallen asleep in the backseat of the vehicle. Olivia took him into her arms once they got inside, before carrying him off to bed while Elliot seated himself on the sofa.
A few minutes later, Olivia returned and immediately sat herself down in Elliot's lap. He gave her his handsome smile before pressing his lips to hers, keeping his arms securely around her whilst her arms were draped over his neck. Even though she had already known that Elliot's kids were fine with their relationship, there was just something about actually hearing them say that they were fine. Kathleen's words had touched her as well, and despite feeling a bit strange that the children had slowly witnessed their father emotionally drifting away from their mother, it was nice to know that they never blamed her or felt any ill feelings towards her. Now, she just felt free to move on with Elliot, and that made her happy.
The two pulled apart after a few moments, resting their foreheads together. The two then maneuvered around so that they were laying together; Elliot was laying on his back with his head against the arm rest whilst she was laying between him and the back of the sofa. Her hand was resting beside her head on his chest, and her leg was over his.
"El, can I ask something?" she spoke after a few moments.
"What's up?" he wondered, raising an eyebrow. She paused for a moment, before continuing;
"Do you think we would've gotten back in each other's lives around this time even if all of this hadn't happened?"
"Hmm," he paused for a second as he pulled her closer, stroking his hand over her jean clad hips, "I think we would have somehow. We would've always come back together somehow; we were always meant to be."
"We were too stubborn to admit it years ago." She smirked, sitting up a bit to look at him.
"Too stubborn and we loved our jobs too much; if we had gotten together then, Cragen would've definitely split us up." He pointed out.
"We were skating on thin ice a lot of the time, anyway," she laughed a bit before shrugging her shoulders;
"You know, as much as I hated you leaving and as angry as I was with you, it was for the best. You're happier without the stress of SVU and looking back, I can see now that it was tearing you down. With me, it's different; SVU is my life – it's who I am. And – don't take this the wrong way – but I grew more with you gone. With you there, I was fine with just staying at the level, staying by your side as your partner; and that's not your fault, that's just me because I would've done anything as long as I could stay your partner. After you left, I had to push myself because I became the senior detective, and there was so much other stuff that went on that kind of left me with no choice other than to grow – like with Munch leaving, I was suddenly next in line to be number two, and I found myself realizing that you would've wanted me to go for this. Then obviously Cragen left and I was suddenly left with no choice but to be in charge of the unit, and then Tucker wanted me to take the Lieutenant exam and I could've easily said no, but I wanted to push myself and stay in charge of the unit. I sometimes wonder what would have happened if you had stayed, but then if you had stayed, I would've never realized my full potential because I was content with being your partner; I didn't want that to change. Besides, if you had stayed, we wouldn't be able to be what we were always meant to be."
"I understand what you're saying, Liv; and I agree," he paused for a moment before continuing;
"Me and you, we fed off each other, so we never would've pushed each other to go further because what would that mean? We would have to separate – or at least be together less. And, if I had stayed, I'm not sure where I would be – I mean obviously we wouldn't be able to be together, but also me as a person, I wouldn't have been any good for you and you deserve the best. I am sorry for leaving you the way I did, I'm forever sorry for hurting you, but I had to, for my sanity and to get myself together. You know, I heard through the years about your promotions, and a couple years ago when I heard you had become Lieutenant, I felt such pride like 'Wow, Liv really made it' and if I had stayed, you wouldn't have. We fed off each other too much."
"No wonder people say our relationship is ridiculous." Olivia smirked after a few moments.
"I believe mutual reliance and emotional dependence were the words used to describe our relationship," they laughed together before Elliot continued, "I am so proud of you, for showing everyone that you could make it, and I'm proud of you for not leaving when I left."
"I was tempted," she smirked as she stroked her hand over his chest, "I'm proud of you for growing some balls and continuing to talk to me outside of Maureen's hospital room that day, because I was really about to walk away from you had you not grabbed my arm."
Elliot burst out laughing, wrapping his other arm around her to hug her. Leave it to his Olivia to lighten up their serious conversation with a joke. This was what he loved about her.
"I knew I had to stop you before you got away," he kissed the top of her head, his lips brushing against her skin, "I love you, Liv; I really do."
Olivia moved so that her legs were on either wide of him. She leaned down and kissed him yet again, stroking her fingers against his cheeks whilst his hands rest on her hips.
"I love you too."
"Bed?" he questioned, still stroking her lower back as he held her. She smirked as she nodded her head then kissed him once more, briefly stroking her tongue against his before pulling away, sucking his bottom lip as she did so.
"Bed." She spoke in a sultry tone; she watched as his eyes darkened slightly as he caught on to what she was saying.
"Are you sure?"
"I'm sure, baby," she pecked his lips, gently scratching the back of his neck, "No more waiting, El; we've waited long enough."
Elliot kept his arms locked around her as he stood up, allowing her to wrap her legs around his waist. She knocked the switch to turn the lights off before gripping onto him as he carried her into her bedroom and kicked the door shut with his foot. He then lay her down in the middle of her bed, his lips pressed against hers yet again as he lay himself down on top of her. He knelt up briefly to pull the black t-shirt over his head, and Olivia swallowed as she caught sight of his muscles. Despite them all getting older, Elliot Stabler certainly was a sight to be seen, especially when he took his shirt off.
He leaned down and kissed her again as his rough, calloused hands pushed her shirt up, exposing the soft, toned skin of her stomach. He pulled away enough to pull the shirt off her body then slowly unzipped her jeans and pulled them down her toned, tanned legs as well. He paused for a moment, taking in the sight of her in her black lace bra and matching – and rather tiny – black lace panties. He did take note of the faint, pink scars on her chest and torso, permanent reminders of her time with that psychopath those years ago. He leaned down and kissed over the little reminders, before kissing up her neck and settling on her lips yet again. She gripped onto his back, a low moan escaping her lips when she felt him stroke his tongue against hers. All the feelings and tension that had built up between them over the years of their partnership had come back in full force, and finally, they were able to freely release the tension and love each other fully without anything holding them back.
She gasped when she felt his thumbs rubbing over her nipples through the thin fabric of the bra which caused them to harden under his touch. While his lips remained on her neck, his hand reached around and unclasp the lace garment. He pulled it away from her body, simply gazing at her for a second. Her breasts were supple and firm, dusky peaks having hardened under his touch and contrasted perfectly against her olive colored skin. He took one of the tiny buds into his mouth whilst rolling the other between his fingers. Her head tilted back against the soft white pillow, her lips parted as the air seemed to leave her body. She felt like she was on cloud nine; the dozens of fantasies she'd had about Elliot kissing her body was nothing compared to this real thing.
"El, please."
"Patience baby." His voice sent shivers down her spine. He smirked before kissing the centerline down her stomach, spending extra time kissing over the fading bruises on her abdomen from her work injuries. He then gently pushed her thighs open before kissing the soft skin of her inner thighs, while Olivia was watching with her chest rising and falling rapidly as she drew her lip in between her teeth.
He hooked his fingers into the sides of her underwear before looking up, silently asking for permission to continue. She nodded her head, giving him a soft smile which he returned. He slid the lace garment down her legs, biting his lip at the sight of her fully naked before him. She watched him in anticipation, a quiet moan escaping her as he sucked the skin of her inner thigh as he grew closer to where she wanted him to be. Suddenly, her lips parted, and a gasp escaped her lips as she felt his lips wrap around her clit. She gripped the sheets around her as he sucked the bundle of nerves into his mouth; her back arched and her eyes fluttered shut, whilst Elliot's strong arms gripped her thighs to old them apart.
She uttered a couple curse words when his tongue slid in-between her wet folds, first in a slower, up and down motion before he began flicking rapidly. One hand flew down to hold his head in place, her short nails scraping through his hair whilst her other hand continued gripping the sheets. She was trying to be quiet considering Noah was in his room asleep, but it was growing increasingly difficult to do so as pleasure raced through her veins. She let out a quiet moan as he continued his rather pleasurable tongue actions, squeezing her eyes shut.
This was certainly better than any fantasy she had ever had about Elliot.
"El." a soft moan sounded from her lips when she felt him slide two thick fingers inside her whilst his thumb rubbed against her clit. He moved his fingers rapidly, kissing her thighs whilst looking up at her. Her eyes were closed, and her lips were parted; one hand was gripping the sheets and the other was holding his wrist as if she were continuing to guide his actions. Her back arched, another moan of his name could be heard. He felt her muscles contracting around his fingers and knew that she was close.
"Oh my God…El…I'm…" she was trying to speak but couldn't as another moan slipped past her swollen lips. Elliot smirked, moving his fingers faster within her before uttering the words in his deep voice;
"Let go for me, baby; come on Liv."
That was all it took for Olivia to come undone. She felt herself tumbling over the edge into the waves of orgasmic pleasure. She felt as though her breath left her body whilst her back arched; Elliot removed his fingers and lapped up the river of juices that were flowing from her body. He placed a soft kiss on her mound and kissed her thighs, before sliding up her body to kiss her lips, allowing her to taste herself on his tongue. She slid her hands down and undid his jeans; only pulling apart briefly so he could remove the jeans and his boxers. She caught sight of his thick member and her eyes went wide. It was no surprise that he was big but seeing it in the flesh only caused the wetness to pool between his legs.
"Do we need-"
"Me and you are way past that, you know that," she wrapped her arms around him to pull his body against hers, "I trust you, baby."
"I trust you, too; always have." He smiled. He kissed her yet again, slowly pushing himself inside her as he did so which caused her to groan into his mouth. He halted his movements as he looked into her brown eyes, allowing her time to adjust to his size. She reached up and stroked his cheek, nodding her head which gave him permission to move. He pressed his lips back against hers as he began moving his hips. She gasped as she tightened her legs around his waist, her nails gripping onto the sweaty flesh of his shoulder whilst he continued thrusting in and out of her gently.
She let out a tiny shriek of pleasure when his tip began bouncing against the most pleasurable spot deep inside. Breathy moans of 'Elliot' escaped her lips as her eyes fluttered shut, the waves of pleasure crashing against her like waves crashing against the shore. She felt him swelling inside her and she moaned yet again, gripping onto his biceps as she briefly opened her eyes to look at him. He was taking her to an orgasmic paradise, and if it was anything like this, she never wanted to come down from that.
He lowered himself against her and began moving his hips faster, his thick member slamming in and out of her at a rapid pace. Her mouth was pressed against his shoulder and her nails were digging into his back, creating angry red marks as she began losing herself in total pleasure. His lips attached to her neck and began suckling her skin, his teeth digging into the soft flesh before his tongue soothed the area. She moaned in his ear, spurring him to move faster as a familiar feeling began stirring within both of them.
"I'm close." She breathed into his ear. He let out a quiet murmur of 'me too baby'before he rest his weight on his forearms, moving even faster against her. He moved one hand down and began rapidly swiping his thumb over her clit in time with his thrusts, increasing the pleasure that was racing through her veins. She gripped onto his back as her eyes fluttered shut. She felt herself tightening around him as she grew closer to tumbling yet again.
"Let go with me, Liv; I got you, baby."
That was all she needed. She let out a pleasure stricken cry of 'Elliot' whilst he grunted in her ear, the two of them crashing into the waves of an orgasmic paradise. She scratched her nails down his back as her muscles continued contracting around him, while he twitched once more and released inside of her. The feeling of him releasing his love for her inside set off another orgasm; she gripped his shoulder and closed her eyes as she held him.
A few moments later, once the pair had come down from their high, Elliot moved to pull out of her finally. She moaned at the loss of contact, but her lips curled into a smile when she felt him wrap a strong arm around her and pull her against his side. She lazily curled up against him, resting her head on his chest and her leg over his whilst he pulled the covers over them.
"That was amazing." She panted, stroking her hand against his chest.
"It was," he kissed her forehead, "But it only made up for one year; we've got eleven more years of tension to release."
"Oh my God," she let out a laugh, playfully smacking his chest before burying her face into his neck, "Mmm…El."
"Yeah baby?" he dipped his head to look into those sparkling brown eyes, the adorable look on her face causing him to lightly peck her nose.
"I'm glad you're back," she held onto his face as she kissed him once more, briefly stroking her tongue against his, "I love you; I always will."
"I love you too, Olivia; always will," he ran his fingers through her hair as she rest her head on his chest, "Get some rest beautiful, I've got you."
She nodded her head, placing a kiss onto his chest before closing her eyes. She smiled when she felt him kiss her forehead again, and for the first time in a long time, she felt truly safe.
She was safe now. With Elliot here, she was always safe.
It was still dark when Olivia woke up; she glanced at the clock and realized it was five in the morning. She rolled over, expecting to find Elliot, but was met with an empty space. Her brow furrowed in confusion, especially when she didn't hear him in the en suite restroom. She saw his shirt still draped across the foot of the bed where he had thrown it the hours earlier, so he was obviously somewhere in the apartment.
She pulled herself out of bed, smiling a bit to herself as she felt the dull ache between her legs which caused a familiar flutter to present itself in her belly. She pulled on some yoga bottoms and a tank top before making her way out of the room. She heard the faint sounds of the television and noticed that the floor lamp was on, leading her to make her way closer to the lounge to see what was going on. She smiled softly as she stepped closer, the sight before her causing her heart to swell.
Noah was snuggled into Elliot on the sofa, sleeping soundly whilst Elliot sat on the sofa in a pair of sweats and a t-shirt, watching the cartoons on the television. As much as she hated to disrupt their peaceful moment, she couldn't resist wandering over to the sofa and seating herself on the other side of Noah. Her presence caught Elliot's attention; he gave her his handsome smile whilst she smiled back and stroked her hand over Noah's cheek.
"He woke up about an hour ago with a tummy ache and came to get one of us, and by the time I had gotten out of bed, he had thrown up in your toilet," he quietly chuckled as he glanced down at the little boy whom was sleeping peacefully, "We came out here to sit for a bit so we wouldn't wake you, and I had him sip some water until he felt better. As you can tell, he's asleep and I'm unashamedly watching Looney Tunes."
"Looney Tunes is our show," Olivia giggled a bit as she curled her legs under her, "Thank you for taking care of him."
"You needed your rest," he gave her a smirk before continuing, "Besides, what kind of man would I be if I didn't take the nighttime shifts when our kid gets sick in the night?"
"Our?" she raised an eyebrow, tilting her head to the side.
"Our," he emphasized the word yet again; "I don't plan on leaving again, Liv; I want this – me and you – for the rest of my life, which means my kids are yours, and your kid is mine."
Olivia's eyes went wide and Elliot quietly chuckled as he knew exactly what she was thinking, "I'm not asking you to marry me right now, Liv; I'm just saying that you're it for me – there's nobody else, just you."
"This is too deep for five in the morning," she giggled before moving to the other side of him, curling up in the space between him and the arm of the sofa. "But back at you; I'm a little weary on marriage sometimes, but I know that I want you for the rest of my life. You're my partner for life – not at work, but in my life, and I don't want it any other way."
He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her closer, capturing her lips with his. He then pulled away and rest his head against hers, a genuinely happy smile on both of their faces as a little bubble of love closed around them.
"I'm your partner, for better or worse – forever, Liv."
WELL THIS IS THE END. Please, leave your reviews! I've enjoyed this, and I thank you all for being so accepting of my first proper SVU fic. Until next time my friends... xoxo
