"I'm so glad to be back in New York," Alex fell onto their bed, "I missed our bed and the Greek place down the street. Oh and our favorite Thai place uptown."

"And putting criminals in prison?" Olivia added.

Alex smirked, "Yeah that too."

Olivia sat on the bed while she sorted through the mail.

Alex turned on her phone which had been off on the plane ride back. As soon as it was on, the phone told Alex she had ten missed calls and five messages.

Her most recent message was from Serena. "Check to see if you got my red lace bra. You know the one with the…oh thanks. Never mind." Alex snickered then deleted that message.

The next one was from her secretary. "Miss Cabot, I'm just calling to remind you that the DA's office dinner is Friday."

The next one was from Casey, "Don't forget about the game the day after tomorrow. We have practice tomorrow at seven."

Then Celine Cabot, "Hi honey, I called a few wedding planners while you were gone and I think I found one that you'll like. Call me back and I'll give you his number."

The last message was a hang up so Alex just deleted it.

"Mom found us a wedding planner," Alex yawned and pulled the covers over herself, "She said if we think we'd like him that she'd give us his number."

Olivia laid down next to Alex, "What do you think?"

"I think we could really use a wedding planner," Alex sighed, "With both of us working like we do, we wouldn't have time to get everything right and since I'm only getting married once I want to get it right."
Olivia smiled and kissed Alex's forehead, "Okay."

"I should go take a shower," Alex stated, not moving a muscle.

"Okay," Olivia propped her head up with her elbow, "Are you going to do that today?"

Alex smirked, "I don't think if I tried to go now I'd make it all the way."

Olivia sat up, "You know what you need? Incentive."

"Incentive to take a shower?" Alex asked.

Olivia started walking to the bathroom door stopping just shy of the threshold. She peeled off her shirt and tossed it aside. Then she unbuttoned her pants and slowly slid them down her legs.

Alex bit her lip and felt shivers run down her entire body.

Olivia stepped into the bathroom and out Alex's view. As Alex sat up, Olivia's bra flew out of the bathroom and landed by her feet.

"Talk about incentive," Alex chuckled and followed Olivia into the shower.

Alex groaned while she let the water run over her.

"What's wrong?" Olivia asked, picking up a soapy washcloth and running it over Alex's back.

"I just thought of the mountain of paperwork on my desk," Alex said.

Olivia moved Alex's hair out of the way to get to the rest of Alex's back, "I know how you feel." After she washed off Alex's back, Olivia gently kissed along her shoulder.

"Mmm, Liv," Alex moaned as Olivia's hands found her stomach.

Olivia continued stroking Alex's stomach and kissing her neck and shoulder, "Yes, baby?"

"Never mind," Alex closed her eyes.

"I'm glad we're home," Olivia cooed and turned Alex around to fully kiss her.

The next day, Alex strutted into her office, ready to take on her mountain of paperwork, the worst criminals in New York, and even Jim Steele.

When Alex opened her office she found two huge piles of case files on her desk. She turned to her secretary and growled, "I want Jim in my office now."

"Yes ma'am," her secretary nodded and took off.

She sat behind her desk and waited impatiently for Jim to walk in. When he did, she just looked at him.

"You wanted to see me?" Jim asked.

"Why are there sixteen case files on my desk?" Alex asked.

"Well, I…" Jim started.

Alex shook her head, "Put them on my desk so I could sort them out while the perps walk the street while awaiting their trial?"

Jim was quiet and nervously put his hands in his pockets.

"Go back to your office," Alex told him.

After about an hour of going through the case files and putting them in new piles, she told her secretary to send in everyone who worked in her office.

She handed out piles and to the ADAs and kept Casey and Serena in her office after everyone else had their assignments.

"Those are yours Serena," Alex pointed to a pile of files on the corner of her desk.

Serena nodded and picked up her cases.

"Casey, I need you to run down to SVU and see if there's anything new," Alex stated.

Casey nodded, "Okay."

Alex smiled for the first time all day, "We still on for seven?"

Casey beamed, "Oh yeah."

"Do you need anything else?" Serena asked looking over Alex's paper filled desk.

Alex took a long deep breath, "I don't think there's anything you can do. I'm be sure to call you if I do."

"Okay," Serena nodded and followed Casey out.

Casey got to the 1-6 around eleven thirty and caught sight of Fin throwing some guy into a holding cell. Elliot walked out of the interview room rubbing his jaw and Olivia was fixing her hair.

"Problem?" she asked.

"He took a swing at Liv," Elliot explained, "She ducked and I was standing behind her."

Olivia smirked, "You should have been faster on the draw."

"Well you shouldn't taunt a violent man while I'm standing behind you," Elliot joked back.

"My boss sent me down here to see if you have anything new for me," Casey told them, setting her bag down next to Elliot's desk.

"You're going camping with us this weekend," Elliot smiled at her.

"What?" Casey asked completely confused.

"Apparently one PP doesn't think we're much of a team so they're forcing us into the wilderness so we can bond," Olivia explained, "And since you're our ADA…"

"Camping?" Casey asked.

"Your boss signed off on it," Cragen said as he walked up.

"Alex?" Casey thought for a moment, "Camping?"

"It was either that or a team building camp," Cragen stated, "I figure we could use the weekend to relax instead of doing trust falls and finger painting."

Casey nodded, "Okay, but I'm going to be in so much trouble for canceling my date this weekend."

"I think Serena will be okay," Olivia smiled, "Just tell her she can come if she wants to. The she won't mind that you're abandoning her for the weekend as long as you don't drag her along."

"Why don't you bring Alex?" Elliot asked.

Olivia chuckled, "Alex isn't really the camping kind of girl. She'd tell me she had too much paperwork to catch up on if I asked."

Casey looked at her watch, "Do you want to go get some lunch?"

"Sure," Olivia nodded.

"Okay," Elliot followed them out the door.

At five-thirty there was a soft knock on Alex's door, then it opened. Serena stepped in, "Hey, how's it going?"

"I'm almost done," Alex replied as she kept writing.

"Did you eat lunch?" Serena asked.

"I just getting ready to…" Alex looked at the clock, "Oh, it's not lunchtime any more."

Serena smiled and sat in the chair across from Alex, "Go home."

Alex yawned, "I guess I should. Just a few more minutes."

"What is this I hear about you sending my girlfriend away on a camping trip this weekend?" Serena asked.

Alex smirked, "You're welcome to go with her."

"I don't camp," Serena stated, "I check into a hotel."

"I know," Alex signed the last piece of paper and closed it in a folder.

"Are you going?" Serena asked Alex.

Alex stood up and put on her jacket, "I don't camp. I follow you to the hotel room."

Serena laughed, "I figured. I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye," Alex waved.

Serena walked out and Alex gathered up her things.

There was another knock on the door and it opened. Olivia walked in, leaving the door open behind her.

"Hey," Alex kissed Olivia, "How was work?"

"A perp punched Elliot," Olivia smiled, "Other than that, same ole same ole."

"I like how you smile when you tell me a perp punch Elliot," Alex raised an eyebrow.

Olivia picked up Alex's attaché, "He was a trooper." She took Alex's hand and they walked out of her office.

"Are you hungry?" Olivia asked.

"Yeah," Alex nodded, "I missed lunch."

They got into the elevator and Olivia grinned, "So are you coming camping with us this weekend?"

Alex replied, "I'd love to, but I have a lot of paperwork to do."
