Intentions
Chapter 21
Olivia laid with her head nestled against Elliot's chest her hand resting on his lower abdomen.
"At least, Benson looks comfortable." Munch said dryly leaning forward looking over Fin.
"Do not wake her up. She's exhausted." Elliot said in warning.
"Yeah, I'm exhausted too. Who decided on a six am return flight that's all I want to know." Fin groused.
"Yeah well I want know what has our little Liv so exhausted. What did you do to her Stabler?" Munch smirked.
Elliot gave him a warning look over Fin's airplane seat. Elliot kissed the top of Olivia's head softly. He felt a little guilty keeping her up last night, all night. He had been more than a little excessive with their love making and she had gotten maybe an hour or two of sleep.
"Well, I for one don't want to know," Fin said shooting Munch a look.
"Oh, come on. They are like free porn," Munch smirked.
"Excuse me," Elliot said.
"I am not even going to begin to go into how creepy and perverse that statement is," Fin said.
Munch rolled his eyes settling back in his seat. "Like you weren't thinking it," Munch muttered under his breath.
"Are you guys gonna keep talking?" Olivia grumbled into Elliot's chest.
Elliot gave both Munch and Fin a dirty look.
Olivia sat up rubbing her eyes her dark hair falling messily in her face. She looked over at Munch. "By the way, I am seriously creeped out that you think El and I are free porn. Seriously."
"Then you two need to stop acting like to horny teenagers. You should probably practice that now because soon we will be back in New York and back at the station." Munch said dryly slipping his earphones on to watch the inflight movie.
Olivia bit her lower lip and looked over at Elliot. Munch brought up a few good point here they were cuddled up together with the arm rest between them lifted. They could not act like this back at the station. They would need to be careful, very careful around Cragen especially if they wanted to remain partners. "He has a point, Elliot." Olivia said.
Elliot rolled his eyes. "Yeah, in his head, maybe. We will be fine at the station. We know how to be professional and we don't act like horny teenagers."
Olivia arched an eyebrow at Elliot.
"Okay, so maybe we act a little over eager. We are enjoying ourselves." Elliot said defensively.
Olivia could not stop wide grin that spread across her face. "Enjoying ourselves, huh. Is that what they are calling it these days, Stabler."
Elliot laughed tugging her back flush against his chest. Olivia snuggled back against his chest.
The plane touched down at JFK an hour later. Olivia, Elliot, Munch, and Fin navigated their way through security and baggage claim before grabbing a cab to share.
Fin stared out the window of the cab a forlorn expression on his face. "I cannot believe it is raining."
Munch groaned. "Now we are going to have post vacation depression."
Olivia laughed. "I am actually happy to see the rain especially on a day we can go home. I love to sleep on rainy days. I plan to drop my baggage in my apartment hallway and crawl into my nice warm bed." Munch laughed. "That sounds like a pretty good plan, Benson."
"Sounds like a great plan," Elliot whispered in her ear.
"But you have to go back home." Olivia said low enough for Elliot to hear but not Munch and Fin.
Elliot nodded. "I want to check in with the kids. I told them I needed to talk to them about something when I got back.
"I don't know, El. Maybe it is too soon? I mean Kathy just left. Do the kids even know that she came back? How do you think the kids will feel about all of this?" Olivia asked nervously.
"I don't know but I don't want to lie to Lizzie and Dickie. I know them and they would rather know the truth then be lied to. Even if it would only be a lie of omission trust me it is just as bad to a kid." Elliot said rubbing his hand down his face.
"You're going to tell them about us?" Olivia asked surprise.
"Yeah, I don't want them to hear it from Kathy. I don't think they know that she came back and I don't want her to hit them with two surprises." Elliot said. "She was pretty pissed when she found us on the couch so I wouldn't be surprised if she blurted it out even if only to hurt me."
"I'm sorry, El." Olivia whispered staring out the cab window at the droplets of water making their paths down the glass guilty settling in.
"Liv, this is not your fault. Kathy left of her own volition; she is a big girl she knew what she was doing. It is not like we had the greatest relationship before she left." Elliot said. "I'm am sorry I can't come home with you."
"It's okay. I understand. You need to be with the kids. I am sure they miss you a lot." Olivia said softly smiling.
Elliot laughed. "They are teenagers Olivia; I will be shocked to hell if they miss me. Eli will be glad to see me though. He is too young to be jaded."
Olivia smiled at him as the cab came to a halt in front of Fin's apartment. "Bye, Fin." Olivia called at smiling at her co-worker.
Fin gave them a mock salute before jumping out of the cab to make a run for the door.
Elliot shook his head and smiled at Olivia. "Maybe I can come over later tonight if Lizzie or Dickie can watch Eli or tomorrow morning?"
Olivia nodded. "You have a key, you are always welcome anytime."
A/N: Okay, I really do not like this chapter but I felt like I needed to post on this story as it has been forever since I did. I am slightly losing my direction on this story but I think I have some new ideas. Next up, Elliot is in for a surprise at home. And someone's intentions make things very complicated for Olivia and Elliot!
