Now there's the start of something big with the start of this chapter and you'll see why at the end.


"No, I'm coming in late...Because I overslept." Erin said on the phone as she is putting on her clothes as Miranda watches from the bed. The attorney looks over and gets turned on again.

"I'll call you when I'm on my way there and push everything back." Erin said then hangs up her phone. She walks over and kisses Miranda.

"I didn't mean to wake you." Erin softly said.

"You didn't. Your phone did. Good morning by the way."

"Yes it is." They tenderly kiss again then Miranda lays Erin back down onto the bed as they fight for dominance.

"I'm already late as it is." Erin softly said as Miranda kisses her neck.

"So am I, but my detectives can call me if they need me." Miranda said then kisses her lips again as she scratches Erin's toned waist with her hand.

"Do you think after two weeks of doing this, we would be tired of each other?"

"God, I hope not because I'm having fun." Miranda removes Erin's clothes and kisses down her body.

Erin gets off the elevator two hours later and walks into her office.

"Two hours late to work. Must be some hot date last night." The male ADA said as he joins her to her office and Erin slowly smiles.

"Yes it was. What can I do for you?"

"I've been trying to get a hold of Lieutenant Hill, but she's not answering my calls. I was hoping to go out to dinner with her. As in a date." He said.

Back off she's mine! Erin thought to herself.

"One, Lieutenant Hill is not your type and two, she is currently seeing someone." Erin said.

"How can anyone not be my type?"

"Because she likes her dates without the appendage."

"Oh! Now I feel awkward. I also need to prep her for the Manson case."

"If I get in touch with her, I'll send her your way."

"Thank you. Now I'm going to put my head into an oven and put it on high." He said then walks out of the office.

"Ok ew." Miranda said on the phone from her office as she sorts out tapes by date.

"That's what I thought as well. What are you doing?" Erin asked as she leans back in her chair.

"Just reorganizing my office to make it more...me. What also doesn't help was that my office back in Boston was twice as big as this one. Probably as big as my bedroom."

"Thankfully, I have seen your bedroom Lieutenant. Multiple times."

"Hey, do you think you can watch Heather for me tonight? I have a meeting with other SVU commanding officers around Manhattan and I don't know what time that will end."

"Sure. I think she and Nicky were going to do geometry together."

That night, Erin puts dinner onto the kitchen island and walks over to the hallway.

"Hey girls? Dinner's ready." Erin called out.

"Coming." Erin starts dishing out the baked ziti when Nicky and Heather walk over and sit down at the island.

"Did my Mom say when she was coming?" Heather asked.

"She called and said that she had to run over to a scene and will be here in about an hour." Erin said.

"So Mom. When were you and Miranda going to tell us that you two are dating?" Nicky asked and Erin looks at them.

"How did you two know?"

"Please. It's not rocket science. You're not trying any of the cases from Mom's squad, Mom's not asking for warrants from you. It's a classic case of not showing any signs of conflict of interest." Heather said.

"You do realize that all of the facts you just presented are circumstantial, right?" Erin asked.

"Does Grandpa know?" Nicky asked then takes a bite of the dinner.

"He does and you're right. We're not showing signs of conflict of interest. Because he and DA made this agreement. I would only work on cases within Miranda's squad if it deemed necessary. Other than that? The other ADA's take the cases."

"I just have a question." Heather said.

"Ok, go ahead." Erin said.

"Did she ever talk about my Uncle Will with you?"

"She did. When I met her at move in day at Columbia, she had a picture of her and her brother. I know how much she misses him, especially now that she has you in her life, and that he wanted to be the cop and her the lawyer. But after he was killed at 11, she knew she had to live out his dream of being a police officer. Now that you're in her life, she knew that she had to make sure to come home to you."

"Which is why she is a commanding officer."

"Exactly."

Miranda walks back into her office with her duffle bag and puts the bag onto her desk. She closes and locks her office door then turns the blinds. She takes off her shirt and carefully removes the wire taped to her chest and grabs the recording device from back inside of her pants. She opens the bag and grabs the four piles of cash and takes a picture of it on her phone then puts the money into her filing cabinet inside a locked box where more money is in the box. She locks the cabinet up and sighs when there's a knock on the office door and she grabs her service weapon.

"Put the gun down, Lieutenant." She hears and puts the gun away. She unlocks the door and let's in the Commissioner.

"How long do I have to keep lying to everyone?" Miranda asked him.

"Just until we build up a case to bring down the group." Frank said.

"I hate lying to Erin and the girls about this."

"Well, pretty soon it'll be all over."

"I hope so before the group realizes that I'm working undercover for you, otherwise I'm dead."
