Couple of weeks later…

Eric turned to look at his watch on his nightstand.6:06. He felt someone pinch him on the butt. He jumped up and turned and spotted Olivia with her eyes closed but was smiling.

"Mean" He mumbled as he flopped back down on the bed. "Go make coffee"

"You go" Olivia mumbled as she opened her eyes and rested her head on his chest.

"I'm tired. C'mon go," He pleaded "We have to go to the house since you want another color and I'm the one painting it"

They heard Nicole crying in her crib.

Olivia got up and went to get her since she knew Eric was tired cause he worked on the house mostly.

Olivia picked Nicole up and rocked her "Did we wake you up?"

Nicole shook her head and hugged her as she kept crying.

"Do you want daddy?" Olivia asked as she kissed her on the head.

Nicole nodded.

"Watch her while I go make coffee and get ready for work" She put Nicole by Eric on the bed.

Eric nodded and put Nicole on his chest and rubbed her back to calm her down. "What's wrong did you have a bad dream?"

She nodded and hugged him as she rested her head on his chest "Make it go away"

"Only you can do that" Eric kissed her on the head. "See if you want it to go away then you have to wish really hard"

"And it will go away?" Nicole asked looking up at him.

Eric smiled since he was proud of her how fast she learned to talk and form sentences. "Yup"

Nicole put her head back on his chest and played with his t-shirt. "Promise?"

Eric stroked the back of her small hair as he closed his eyes again "Promise"

Olivia came back in the room and went to get clothes to get dressed. "All better?" She asked knowing Eric always had a way for her to stop crying.

"Sshh" Nicole whispered, "I'm wishing"

Olivia smiled and nodded knowing it was something Eric told her. She grabbed her clothes and went in the bathroom to get dressed.

Eric picked Nicole up and got her dressed since she was spending the day with him at the new house.

"Are you excited for the new house?" Eric asked.

Nicole nodded.

"Nemo or Dory?" Eric asked holding up two t-shirts.

"Dory" Nicole answered.

He put the t-shirt on her and then pulled on her small jeans over her diapers.

Olivia came out of the bathroom dressed in jeans and t-shirt with her gun and badge on her belt. "You guys leaving already?"

"Breakfast and we'll walk you out to your car" Eric answered. "Take her while I get dressed"

Olivia picked her up and carried her to the living room and placed her on the couch. "What color do you want your room to be?"

"Pink…purple…blue…orange!" She yelled out.

Olivia chuckled and gave her a kiss on the cheek "What about light pink?" She asked as she sat down on the couch by her.

"Ok" Nicole nodded and hugged Olivia around the arm. "Mommy?"

"Yea?" Olivia asked as she kissed her head.

"How are babies made?"

Olivia instantly tensed up "Um…well…ask daddy"

Nicole nodded and put her head on Olivia's lap and looked up at her. Olivia winked at her and smiled. Nicole smiled and waved.

Eric came out of the room and went to the fridge "What do you want me to make for you pretty girls?"

"Food" Nicole answered as she stood on the couch and watched Eric "Daddy?"

"Yes pumpkin?" He asked as he took the juice carton and took a sip.

"How are babies made?"

Eric choked over the juice he had in his mouth and quickly spit it out.

Olivia chuckled seeing his reaction was worse then hers.

Eric turned around to look at his two year old daughter "Ask mommy"

"She said to ask you"

Eric gave a look to Olivia and then looked at Nicole "Santa brings them"

"Who's Santa?" Nicole questioned.

"The Christmas dude" Eric answered as he leaned on the counter top.

Olivia laughed and rolled her eyes. "He also brings presents to the good kids"

"So you have to be good so you get a present on Christmas"

Nicole nodded "Did he bring you me cause you were good?"

"Yup." Olivia answered as she kissed her on the head "You are our gift from heaven"

Eric smiled and nodded as he took food out of the fridge and started to make breakfast.

Olivia fed Nicole and let her play with her toys on the couch as they finished their breakfast.

"What color do you want our room?" Eric asked as he read over the newspaper and ate his breakfast.

"I don't know" Olivia answered with a shrug as she finished her breakfast. "I was thinking a peach color"

"Light or dark?"

"Light. Make sure all the colors are modern, I don't want anything old times you know?"

"Want to come over during your lunch break and pick colors?" Eric offered looking up at her.

"Yea, sure" Olivia answered with a nod and looked at her watch. "I have to go before I'm late" She got up from her chair and picked Nicole up from the couch "C'mon honey"

Eric grabbed both of their car keys and opened the door for them. Olivia went out of the apartment with Nicole in her arms.

Olivia put Nicole in the backseat and buckled her up as she gave her the stuffed toy they kept for her there. "I love you" She gave her a kiss and hugged her.

"You too" Nicole hugged her back and gave her a kiss and went back to playing with her toy.

Olivia hugged Eric and gave him a kiss. "Love you too"

"You better love me," Eric teased as he returned the kiss. "Going to stop by today?"

"If I have time. If I don't I'll call you and tell you the colors I want"

"You want? What happened to family decisions?" Eric smiled as he leaned on the car.

Olivia pressed her body against his and gave him a kiss "You're the husband you don't get a say in colors, your job is to paint" She whispered with a smile.

Eric smirked and rolled his eyes "Do I get S-e-x later?"

"Maybe" Olivia whispered, "We'll see what Santa says" She gave him a kiss on the cheek and walked to her car.

Eric chuckled and checked out her butt as she went to her car "I hate when you go but I love watching you leave"

Olivia laughed and shook her butt just a little to tease him and waved as she went into her car.

Eric laughed and shook his head "Sexy weirdo" He got in his car and buckled his seatbelt "Ready to paint munchkin?" Nicole nodded from the backseat as she kept her focus on her stuffed toy "That's the spirit" He turned on the car and drove out of the parking spot.

Olivia walked into the squad room and sat in her seat.

"Hey" Elliot greeted as he handed her a file. "Fin and Munch caught the case. Little girl went missing in a store"

"How old?" Olivia asked.

"Two" Elliot answered and looked up knowing what Olivia was thinking. It reminded her of Nicole and he knew it hit close to home "You ok?"

Olivia managed to nod "Yea"

Elliot nodded back "I'm getting the witness's house addresses now and then we can go interview them"

"Ok" Olivia nodded "I'll be right back" She got up and went up the stairs to the crib. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed Eric's number.

Eric was painting the main bathroom into the light blue color Olivia wanted. His jeans were already stained with the paint and his white tank top was stained as well. He had a baseball hat on backwards.

Nicole was sitting in the hallway and stuck her hand in the paint. "Daddy?"

Eric looked over and quickly put the brush down and ran over to her and kneeled down "Nikki why did you do that?" He picked her up carried her into the bathroom and put her hand under the water. His cell phone started to ring in the kitchen.

Nicole started to put her hand in her mouth and Eric quickly put it down and washed it. "No eating paint" Nicole brushed her hand on his face and covered his cheek with light blue paint "Stop it" His phone kept ringing.

"Daddy phone ringing" Nicole told him and pointed with her free hand. "Phone, phone. Phone!" She screamed.

"I know, I know" Eric answered as he washed all the paint off. "Don't yell please"

Olivia started to pace around the bunk beds knowing Eric had his phone with him all the time.

Eric carried Nicole into the kitchen and placed her on the counter top as he grabbed his phone and opened it "Gordon"

"It's me. Why didn't you answer sooner?" Olivia asked feeling relief come over her hearing his voice.

"Sorry it's just that Nikki-"

"Is she ok?" Olivia quickly cut in.

"Yea she's fine, she just stuck her hand in paint. Are you ok?" Eric asked sensing Olivia being worried.

"I'm fine. I have to go, I just wanted to check up on you guys and see if you're fine"

"Yea we're great" Eric answered as he wiped the paint off his face.

"Love you, bye"

"You too, bye" Eric closed his phone and put it back on the counter. "No more paint for you Missy, you got me?" Nicole giggled. "I'll take that as a yes" He blew on her neck, which got her laughing hysterically. "Are you sleepy?"

"No" Nicole answered even though she looked sleepy.

"Are you sure cause you woke up early today and you didn't sleep in the car?" Eric asked giving her a look. "Are you scared to sleep cause of the bad dream?" Nicole nodded and played with her shoelaces. "Aww come on" He picked her up and carried into her room where they already bought her a bed. He put her on it and took off her shoes and jeans.

"Stay with me"

Eric sat down on the ground and covered her with the blanket "Of course I'm going to stay with you pudding" He gave her a kiss on the head and put his head on her pillow next to her. He started to make funny faces to cheer her up. Nicole giggled a little.

"Nemo"

Eric took her stuffed toy and gave it to her. He covered the toy with the blanket as well "Now Nemo is sleeping and you should join him ok?"

"But the bad dream" Nicole said quietly "I want mommy to put me to bed cause she sings to me"

"I know honey but mommy is at work and the faster you fall asleep the sooner you will see mommy I promise" He gently stroked her hair.

"Double promise?"

"Triple promise" Eric told her.

Nicole's face lit up since they never made triple promises "Ok"

"You want me to stay until you fall asleep?" Eric offered. Nicole nodded. Eric nodded and sat on the ground watching Nicole hugging her stuffed toy.

It was around two in the afternoon when Olivia and Elliot finally got a lunch brake.

"Want to see the house?" Olivia offered looking over at him as they walked down the hall.

"Sure" Elliot answered with a nod "Eric and Nicole are there?"

"Yea" Olivia answered.

They got in their squad car and Olivia drove to her new house.

"Nice neighborhood" Elliot nodded. "Very suburban"

"We were aiming for that," Olivia said with a smile as she parked the car in their driveway. "Let's go around the back"

They got out and walked behind the house. They spotted Eric on the roof shirtless and only in his jeans that were covered in paint and somewhat baggy on him and a hat on backwards.

Olivia quickly got turned on seeing him being sweaty. His gray boxer briefs were showing just a little which she loved. His belt wasn't tight and hung a little.

"I'll be inside" Elliot told her seeing Olivia not being to stop looking at her husband the whole time.

Olivia managed to nod and gulped "Eric" She called up.

Eric looked down and waved. He climbed down the ladder and Olivia quickly checked out his butt on the way down "Hey baby" He walked over to her and gave her a kiss.

Olivia ran a hand down his muscular chest and let out a deep breath "Oh god"

Eric looked totally confused "What?"

She grabbed his leather belt and pulled him closer "Hotel room or apartment now" She whispered being completely turned on.

Eric smiled and looked down at his jeans and his body "This? I haven't worked out in almost a month"

"You work on the house all the time and now you got a perfect tan. You have to put on a shirt or we'll be having sex in the just painted bathroom"

Eric laughed and purposefully pressed his body against hers "What if I don't want to put on a shirt?" He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her waist.

Olivia let out a slight moan feeling his leg touching her middle "No baby, stop. Shirt please?"

Eric slapped her butt playfully and grabbed a t-shirt and pulled it on. "Better?"

Olivia nodded "Yea"

"Tonight me and you right? It's been almost two years since we…you know. I'm starting to feel like a priest or something" He whispered to her "I'm an agent, I need to get some ass. Can I have yours?"

Olivia laughed and slapped his butt "We'll see." She pushed him toward the door "Now where's my baby?"

"I'm right here," Eric teased with a smile as he wrapped his arm around her shoulders.

"My other baby" Olivia rolled her eyes with a smile.

"Sleeping" They got to Nicole's room and spotted Elliot sitting on her bed and Nicole was showing her toys to him. "At least she was" Eric whispered to her.

Olivia took Eric's hand and led him to their bathroom and closed the door.

"Your partner and our daughter are in the next room liv," Eric whispered.

Olivia rolled her eyes and shook her head "The moment passed don't worry"

Eric rolled his eyes "Is that good news?"

"The reason why I called today was because we had a case with a missing girl and she is two years also and I got worried"

Eric took her in a hug knowing it hit close to home "Hey Nicole's fine baby. Nothing is going to happen I promise"

Olivia nodded into his chest "I know I just…I don't know it feels really weird how much more I'm attached to the kids cases when I have a daughter of my own you know?"

Eric nodded and sat down on the edge of the tub and placed Olivia on his lap "Sweetie that's a good thing. It would be a bad thing if you didn't care one bit." He whispered as he picked her head up to look at him "It's a good thing so don't feel bad"

Olivia nodded and hugged him "Thanks, I just needed to hear that from someone"

"Of course. That's what I am here for…well to make you feel better and to paint houses"

Olivia chuckled a little "I love you"

"I love you too" He said in a baby voice and pouted. "Kissy"

Olivia took his face in her hands and gave him a long kiss and broke it gently "We need to go now"

Eric just nodded with his eyes still closed. Olivia smiled and got up from his lap seeing he enjoyed the kiss.

After a while Elliot and Olivia went back to work and Eric stayed with Nicole in the house and they kept finishing up the painting.

Later that night Elliot took Nicole cause Olivia asked him to.

Olivia came in the house knowing Eric was still there finishing up the living room. She came in from the back and stopped hearing music. She slowly walked to the living room and stopped on the corner.

Eric was painting the wall and dancing to the music. Olivia smiled since he was a very good dancer and the way he moved always turned her on. He mouthed the words to the R&B song and moved smoothly.

Olivia kept watching him from the corner and didn't want to stop him. He now had a tank top on that was tucked in his jeans and were showing his tight abs and muscular arms.

The music stopped and Olivia started to clap and appeared from the corner.

Eric quickly turned around and started to blush. He turned off the radio and returned to work.

"Please don't stop on my account. Keep going" Olivia teased and turned the radio on.

"Shut up" Eric mumbled with a small smile and blushed extremely.

"What? You're good I wish you would dance with me like that sometime"

"Yea and have you make fun of me, I don't think so" Eric shook his head and returned to the wall.

"That was pretty good. You're a good dancer honey" Olivia assured him. "C'mon when will you take me to a club so you can show off your moves?"

"Never." He answered, "I'm not embarrassing you"

Olivia wrapped her arms around his stomach from the back "You can never embarrass me." She whispered.

Eric smiled a little "Thanks"

"Elliot has Nicole for the night and I was thinking we have alone time…unless you get called in for work…again"

Eric turned around to face her "I never apologized for that night. I shouldn't have gone to work on our anniversary, I'm-" Olivia covered his mouth with her hand.

"The word 'work' is off limits tonight ok?" She whispered with a smile. Eric nodded. Olivia put her hand down and traced over his muscles on his arms. "You know we do have a mattress in our new bedroom"

"Works for me" Eric whispered with a smile "But are you sure you want that cause it's not that romantic"

"Didn't we have sex on a table once…the night we got engaged I believe" Olivia whispered.

"Well that was out of control and very good sex by the way" He said with a smile.

Olivia led her hand down his belt and unbuckled it "No sex in two years…this is starting to seem like a real marriage. We haven't even taken a shower together since Nicole's been born."

Eric laughed and rolled his eyes "Um…I have a surprise for you under these pants"

"Aren't we conceded tonight? I have seen it before and it might be bigger now but jeez Eric"

He shook his head "Not that you weirdo"

Olivia thought for a second "Then?"

"Do you like tattoos?" He asked with a shrug.

Olivia's eyes got wide "You got a tattoo?"

"Please tell me you find them sexy"

"Where?" She asked with a huge smile and quickly unzipped his jeans. "What of?"

"Find it" Eric shrugged and put his hands on the back of his neck.

Olivia kneeled down and pulled his jeans down. She found nothing. She pulled his boxer briefs down and started to laugh hysterically seeing what was tattooed above his penis 'Property of Olivia Benson' there was an arrow pointing down.

"I had a little too much to drink that night we got in a fight," He explained with a shrug "I know I don't drink but you upset me so here we are"

"Oh my god in a weird and sick way that is so sweet and cute" She got up and gave him a hug. "Just so you know I'm not getting a similar tattoo on my breasts.

Eric laughed and nodded "I wasn't expecting you too"

Olivia looked at his tattoo again and started to laugh again.

"Are you laughing at my soldier or the tattoo cause its starting to hurt my ego" Eric rolled his eyes and pulled his pants up.

"Tattoo. I love your soldier don't worry" Olivia placed her hands on his chest. "Thank you cause now I know you won't be able to dump me cause other women will be offended by that tattoo"

Eric laughed and picked her up. Olivia wrapped her legs around his waist and held his jeans with her hand so they didn't fall off as he walked to their bedroom. She kept one hand on the back of his neck and kept eye contact with him.

He carried her into their bedroom and over to the mattress they had on the floor when Nicole would fall asleep in her bed late at night and they didn't want to disturb her.

He placed her on the mattress and lay down between her legs. Olivia wrapped both arms around his neck and rested her hands on his back.

Eric held himself with his hands not to hurt her if he lay down on her completely. He arched his back knowing Olivia liked how his muscles showed on his back when he did it. "Are you sure this is ok?" He whispered as he brushed a strand of her hair away from her face.

"Were together right?" Olivia whispered as she gave him a kiss on the forehead "I don't care where we are as long as we are together."

Eric smiled "Now that's romantic"

"Hi-five" Olivia put up her hand. Eric shook his head with a small smile "Well at least I did one romantic thing" Olivia rolled her eyes and put her hand down. She slapped his butt "Now get these things off, I want my property"

Eric took his shoes off and pulled his jeans off. He took off Olivia's shoes as well and then unzipped her jeans.

Olivia sat up and wrapped her legs around his waist. She looked at his shy blue eyes and slowly took off his tank top and lightly touched his skin. "I love you"

"I love you too," He whispered as he unbuttoned her shirt. He started to kiss her breasts gently and then took off her bra "A tattoo right there" He teased.

Olivia laughed and shook her head "Never"

"You don't like tattoos?"

"I love tattoos…on men but not on me"

"Well as long as you love my tattoo and me I'm ok" He gave her a kiss and moved his hand down to her panties and pulled them off.

Olivia pulled his boxer briefs off and threw them to the side. "The way you feel about briefs on men is the way I feel about tattoos on women"

"Well I only like briefs on women and think only they should wear them. That's why I only wear boxers or boxer briefs. Seriously what dude wears briefs?"

"Elliot" Olivia answered without even thinking about it as she started to kiss his chest. Eric moved away from her "What's wrong?" She asked looking at him.

"Um mentioning your partner during us having sex would be for starters and how do you know…oh yea I forgot you slept with him" He nodded and untangled her legs from his waist.

"Eric I'm sorry c'mon baby." Olivia pleaded as she quickly sat up and placed her hands on the back of his neck "C'mon that was a long time ago"

Eric looked to the side and didn't want to look at her.

Olivia turned his head back "Can we forget about that please? C'mon sweetie we're married and we have a beautiful girl together."

"Are sure there's nothing going on between you guys?"

Olivia instantly got mad and pushed him away "Yes there's something going on. He is my friend, my partner, and he is the godfather of our child!" She yelled at him.

Eric looked down and scratched his head "I'm sorry"

"What do you think of me Eric? You think I would do something like to you?"

"No, no, look I'm sorry can we just forget about all of it and go back to what we were doing?"

Olivia nodded "Yea, back to before. I was being the slut and cheating on you and you were going to jerk off in the shower for the next year" She grabbed the blanket and wrapped it around herself and went into the bathroom and slammed the door closed.

Eric let out a deep breath and flopped back onto the mattress and buried his face in the pillow.

He got up and wrapped the other blanket around his waist and went into the bathroom.

Olivia was leaning on the sink with her arms crossed on her chest and staring at the floor.

Eric placed his head on her shoulder "I'm so sorry"

"I would never cheat on you, we have a daughter together you idiot"

"You're right I'm an idiot" Eric nodded and kissed her cheek "I'm a big dumb idiot who loves you so much that I can't imagine losing you so I get jealous for no reason"

Olivia rested her head on his head "You wont lose me"

"Promise?"

"Triple promise"

Eric looked up at her with an extremely excited face and put his hand over his mouth looking shocked.

Olivia started to laugh, "You actually look like her right there"

"Am I forgiven?" He pouted.

"Only if you can give me an orgasm" Olivia smiled at him.

Eric lifted her up from her feet. Olivia wrapped her arm around his neck as he carried her into the bedroom.

He placed her on the mattress and took off her bed sheet. He lie down on top of her and let her pull his sheet off.

Olivia pulled it off and covered both of their heads with it.

Casey came in the new house since Olivia gave her and Elliot an extra key. She had to ask Olivia a question about a relationship problem and her phone wasn't on. "Liv?" She called out into the kitchen "Eric?"

She heard Olivia laughing hysterically. She went to their bedroom and saw Eric and Olivia moving under the bed sheet and all of their clothes thrown to the side. She covered her mouth to contain her laughter and quickly left the house.
