I know, I know...I'm late with this week's update, but it's Homecoming weekend (Go Wizards!) and Pep Rally was yesterday...(I walked
out the door to go to school at 7 a.m. and didn't get back till 10:30 that night!)

Chapter 5: Girl's Day Out
----------------------------------
Olivia dressed herself in a nice denim skirt and blouse and showered and got ready. Before she knew it, it was almost 6.
She paced in her apartment, from one window to the next, staring out of each one intently, waiting for any sign that they would be
showing up soon. She saw a black car pull up, one she recognized as Maureen's, and checked herself in the mirror. She waited a
few moments after the buzzer rang to answer.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hey, we're here. So, come join us." It was Maureen
Olivia walked out of her apartment, and the moment she walked out the front door, she was greeted by the sight of Elliot sitting
in the front seat of the car, blindfolded. As she looked at the backseat, she saw Kathleen looking at her, with a teasing
blindfold in her hands.
As she got in the car, she said to Kathleen, "You are joking...right?"
"Hey! If I get the blindfold, you do too. Now slap it on her, Kath." said Elliot from the passenger seat.
"Fine. But don't ruin my makeup!" Olivia joked.
They drove for a while, and then the car stopped.
"Girls, can I take this thing off now?" Elliot asked his daughters.
"Not just yet." Maureen said.
The girls each got out of the car and escorted Olivia and Elliot to the inside of wherever they were eating.
"Quick game." Kathleen said.
"Does this game involve seeing, because I would love to be able to see." said Elliot.
"Elliot. You're being no fun." Olivia said to him. "Now, what's this game?" she asked.
"Well, what do you notice about this place?" Maureen asked. After a few seconds, Olivia spoke up.
"It's quiet. Very, very quiet. Too quiet for a restaurant."
"Good. Now, take off your blindfolds." Kathleen said.
As the pair removed the cloth tied around their heads, they were amazed at what they saw. The precinct was dressed up in lights
and things. The desks were, for the most part, clean. And Elliot and Olivia's was covered by a white linen tablecloth with a
rose and a candle. There were four chairs surrounding the desk, so Elliot and Olivia noticed that they would not be left alone.
"How did you do this?" Elliot asked them.
"We got connections, dad." Kathleen said.
As they approached the table, they realized that their food was already on the table...errr, desks.
-----------------------------------
The four had a lovely dinner, and the girls talked about what they would do the following day with Olivia.
As Maureen pulled up to Olivia's apartment, Elliot got out and opened the door for her. He walked her up to the door of her apartment.
"Happy Valentine's day." Elliot said to her.
"You too." Olivia looked into his eyes. And they kissed.
"I should get some sleep." Elliot said.
"Me too. I guess I have quite the day ahead of me tomorrow."
"Knowing those two...yeah." Elliot smiled.
"Goodnight." Olivia said
"I love you."
"I love you, too."
The couple kissed again, and Olivia headed into her apartment.
------------------------------------
Olivia was nervous; the girls were going to stay with her overnight while Elliot worked a long shift. She knew the girls liked
her, she just wanted them to approve of her lifestyle.
It was about 12 when the girls showed up at Olivia's. She let them up, and they dropped their stuff off.
"So did YOU have fun last night?" One of the girls asked Olivia.
"Yeah. It was nice. I still have no idea how you pulled it off, though." Olivia replied. The girls winked at one another.
They started their day with shopping. The girls bought some new outfits and Olivia helped them pick out jewelery. Their next
trip was to the video store, where they rented Dirty Dancing (a favorite of all 3 girls), and Beaches, which the girls hadn't
yet seen. Their next stop was to the grocery store to buy some food for during the movies. Among the carriage full of food was
Oreos (double stuf, Kathleen insisted), chips, salsa, and popcorn. They managed to make it home by about 5, which gave them plenty
of time to watch the two movies, which they did.
It was about 10:00 by the time the second movie was over, so they decided to watch TV for a little while. Olivia let the girls watch
what they wanted to, with one exception: no forensic science shows. She didn't want to be reminded of work while she was enjoying
her time off with two wonderful girls.
They ended up settling on watching SNL, mostly because Ben Affleck was hosting and all three girls thought he was gorgeous.
The rest of the night was spent laughing and talking, mostly about school, boys, and other things. Olivia couldn't help
but think that it was just like when she was in school. She reminisced while the girls talked: she thought to herself that not much
has changed since she went to school.
Finally they all fell asleep. Elliot came to get them at about 11 the next morning, and Olivia cleaned up what little mess was left
from the popcorn and the chips and salsa. She was happy that she got to know Elliot's kids well.
-------------------------------------
"So what'd you guys do?" Elliot asked Olivia the next day, on the phone.
"Oh, you know. Stuff." Olivia slyly replied.
"What kind of 'stuff'"?
"Girl stuff. You know."
"No, I don't know. Enlighten me."
"Well, if you don't know by now, babe, then you will not be finding out any time soon." Olivia ended THAT particular conversation.
She laughed into the phone.
"What's so funny?" Elliot was getting angry.
"You are, dear. Now, why did you call me? Did you want to ask me something?"
"Yes. Maureen has a class and Kathleen is at a friend's for the night. I wanted to know if you wanted to have dinner."
"Sure."
"Good, because I already made reservations. We're eating at 7:30. You'd better hurry. No fancy clothes, either. Just a casual restaurant."
"Wait, you only asked if I wanted dinner, you didn't mention I had to be seen in public with you!" Olivia's voice was dripping with sarcasm.
"Well, I don't like the thought of you eating anywhere with me, but it's a date that I planned. We both know how often that happens."
"Touché. I guess I could deal with one outing this week. See you at 7?"
"Yea, me too. I'll pick you up at 7. I love you."
"I love me, too." Olivia snuck in. Not two seconds after she put the phone down, it rang again. "Hello?"
"Why must you always do that?" It was Elliot.
"Because you always fall for it. I love you, too." Olivia said, and hung up her phone.
---------------------------------------
Before either knew it, they were eating dinner at a local restaurant.
"On second thought," Olivia started, "you're not as bad as you seemed." she said, continuing the banter from earlier in the day.
"Ditto." Elliot said and leaned in for a kiss.
"Hold up!" she nearly yelled. "Now rethink my last statement. Did I say you could kiss me?"
"No."
"Okay then." There was a long pause. "You can kiss me now." she said, with a bright smile plastered across her face.
As the couple leaned in, Olivia's cellphone rang.
"Benson." She always picked up her phone that way. "Yes sir. We will be right there." She ended the call and looked at Elliot.
"Sorry about that." she said.
"Hey, don't be sorry. It's my job, too. Now I'm taking it we have to get out of here."
"Yea." She replied. They got their check before they finished eating, left the money and a generous tip, and headed out in a matter of
minutes.
---------------------------------------
"What's up, captain?" Elliot had taken off his coat and hung it up, when Olivia walked in, as to not rouse any suspicions from the captain,
who knew noting of the budding romance in his precinct.
"We got a body. Munch and Fin are on the scene interviewing witnesses, we need you two to go down to the ME and see if she knows anything yet."
"Right." Elliot grabbed his coat from it's spot where it had just been put, and he and Olivia headed out the door.
--------------------------------------
"Well, if it isn't New York City's couple of the year!" Warner exclaimed as the two walked into her office.
"Wait, who told you that?" Elliot asked.
"Well, it's common knowledge among the One-Six. Even your Captain knows." Warner said, turning to face the body, not seeing the look Olivia
and Elliot shot at one another.
"Now," Warner changed the subject to the body. "She fought. She has skin under her nails." Warner went on, but Elliot wasn't really paying
her any attention. How could she have possibly known? How could the captain have possibly found out? Why hasn't he said something to them
or the IAB? "Got it all?" Warner said, inturrupting Elliot's thoughts.
"Yea. I got it." Olivia saved Elliot. They would've had to sit through the whole explaination if both of them didn't get it.
-------------------------------------
"Captain," Elliot stormed into the precinct, ignoring 'hello's from Munch and Fin.
"He's with Cabot." Someone said. Elliot said he needed to go for a walk, and left.
"What's his deal?" Fin asked.
"Cragen knows." Was all Olivia had to say to him.
"He knows? About...?" Munch wasn't quite getting it.
"Yea. And so does Warner."
"Is IAB involved yet?" Fin asked.
"We don't know. God, how could we have been so stupid?" Olivia said, walking over to her desk. She sat herself heavily on her chair, and put
her head in her hands.
"You okay, Benson?" She heard from behind her. It was Cragen.
"Yea. I'm just waiting for Stabler to get back." She said. She knew Elliot was not going to be happy.
"Well, speak of the devil, Benson. Here he comes." With that, Cragen turned and walked into his office.
Olivia looked at Elliot. He had a face on him that only she could read. He wanted her to join him in Cragen's office, which he
was standing right outside of. As she got up off the chair, Cragen opened his door.
"Is there any reason as to why you're just standing here?" Cragen asked.
Elliot replied, "Yes, Captain, there is."

*McCoy - absolutely! LoL! E-Mail me @ WwMadz1087@cox.net...I would love to hear your ideas! And this is a happy story
so nobody will be dying! haha.Keep the reviews comin!
