Previously.

"Yeah, I'm sorry you came all the way down here."

"We needed a break."

"I hear ya. Thanks for the anticipated assistance though."

"Sure. Thanks for telling me."

"Have a safe trip back."

"Thanks," Elliot said as he hung up.

"So where do they need us?" Olivia asked as she came out of the bathroom.

"New York."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"What?" Olivia asked confused.

"They caught the guy last night. Apparently a phone was too heavy for them to pick up."

"Did you talk to Cragen?"

"That's my next phone call," Elliot said as he dialed the phone.

"Cragen," the Captain answered.

"Captain, it's Elliot," he was going to start explaining, but Cragen cut him off.

"I just got the message an hour ago."

"And?"

"The best I could do for a flight is Friday afternoon."

"Friday afternoon?!"

"I'm sorry Elliot. You and Olivia go out to dinner tonight on me."

"What about tomorrow?"

"Be glad you're stuck in Miami while being paid overtime."

"You got us overtime?"

"I knew neither of you was thrilled with going on the trip. It was my way of thanking you."

"We appreciate it."

"I had them overnight the tickets, they should be there tomorrow. All the information is on them."

"Ok, thanks."

"See you two Friday."

"Sure thing," Elliot said as he hung up.

"Didn't get too much from your end of the conversation, so what's up?" Olivia asked.

"The earliest he could find a flight was Friday afternoon. He said to go out to dinner tonight on him."

"And tomorrow?"

"A free day in Miami."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Olivia was obviously more excited about being in Miami than Elliot was.

"What's wrong?" Olivia asked as she sat down next to Elliot on the bed.

"A phone call would have prevented all of this."

"Elliot, listen to yourself. We have a day and a half free of work in Miami and we're getting paid for it."

"You do have a point."

"Loosen up, we'll have fun," Olivia said kissing his temple.

"What kind of fun?" Elliot asked mischievously as Olivia started trailing her kisses down his cheek.

"That's up to you Detective," Olivia said as she moved to straddle him on the bed and started running kisses down her other cheek. Their lips locked in a passionate kiss.

Elliot broke the kiss momentarily, "You sure you're ready?"

"Right now I am," Olivia said returning her lips to his.

"I just don't want you to regret it later."

"Trust me, making love to you is not something I'd regret," Olivia said with a smile, again putting her lips to his.

"Olivia, listen, two hours ago you were talking about needing time ad now you're letting loose."

"You don't want to?" Olivia asked sitting back on his lap, still straddling him.

"I do, more than anything. I love you too much to let you do something you may regret. Crossing that line will change everything. Let's go have an early dinner and if you're still sure then I'm yours all night."

"You really do love me," Olivia said as if it had just sunk in.

"More than anything."

"Any other guy wouldn't have even stopped me," she said repositioning herself so she was sitting on his lap. She leaned her head against his chest. He enveloped her body with his arms.

"Trust me Liv, I remember that night like it was yesterday. I know what I'm missing."

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"I did want that, but I think it was more because we could. This is the first time we've been alone, without the fear of being caught. I think doing that would have put the wrong idea in your head."

"I'm willing to wait. The next time will be even better than the first."

"I love you."

"I love you too," he said kissing her.

"Come on, let's go get some dinner," Elliot said.

"Sounds like a plan."

They both got up from the bed. Olivia checked herself in the mirror before they headed out. Since they had the car they decided to drive around a little while to find something good. They found an Italian restaurant just outside the Miami city limits.

"What do you think about a movie tonight?" Olivia asked while they were waiting for dinner to arrive.

"Did you see what they had at the hotel?"

"I didn't look, but they have to have something good."

"Sounds good."

"Good."

They finished dinner and headed back to the car. Elliot started the car and began heading back to the hotel.

"You want to check out the beach?" Elliot asked.

"Yeah, I'd like that," Olivia answered with a smile.

Elliot followed the signs for the beach. The sun had set about a half hour before so there was still a little glow on the horizon. Elliot parked in a lot across from the beach. He helped Olivia out of the car and they started to the beach, walking hand in hand.

"Looks a lot different than home," Elliot said as they reached the sand.

"No palm trees in New York."

"Or even the Jersey Shore."

"I think it makes it romantic."

"Never pictured you as the 'long walks on the beach' type," Elliot said as he put his arm around Olivia's shoulders.

"You learn something new everyday," Olivia said with a smile.

They continued walking toward the water. They reached the point where the waves came in and stopped. Elliot stood behind Olivia and put his arms around her waist. She intertwined her fingers in his.

"You're right, it is romantic," Elliot said.

"You know what makes it even more romantic?" Olivia asked as she turned to face Elliot.

"What's that?"

"The fact that I'm here with you," she said kissing him.

"You know, I'm thinking maybe we can forgo the movie tonight," Olivia said.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, before when you stopped me proved that you love me. I want the three of us to be a happy family."

"So do I," Elliot replied kissing Olivia.

"Come on."

They walked hand in hand back to the car. Neither said a word, they just enjoyed the others company. About half way back to the hotel Olivia's cell phone started ringing. She didn't move to answer it; Elliot looked over at her and realized she was asleep. Elliot looked at the number calling, since he didn't recognize it he didn't answer.

When they got back to the hotel Elliot parked the car and went to unlock the door so he could bring Olivia in. He carefully picked her up and carried her into the hotel room. She woke up as he laid her down on the bed.

"Hey," Elliot said.

"Hey."

"You feel okay?"

"Yeah. I'm just tired."

"Then we better get you changed so you can get some rest," Elliot said as he went to the dresser and took out Olivia's pajamas.

She got up, took the pajamas from Elliot and went into the bathroom to change. Elliot changed while Olivia was in the bathroom. He laid down on one side of the bed and turned on the television. He flipped to the news to see if he could catch something about the case they were supposed to work. They had the weather on. When he heard Olivia come from the bathroom he flipped off the television. Olivia got into bed next to him and immediately got as close as she could to him.

"You sure you feel okay?" Elliot asked again concerned.

"Yeah. I'm sorry about tonight."

"Hey, it's okay. I said I'm willing to wait."

"I love you."

"I love you too. Good night."

"Good night."

Olivia snuggled closer to Elliot. He put an arm around her and kissed the top of her head. He didn't care that their plans for the evening were put on hold, he was just glad that he had her.
