Going Out

It had been a few weeks since Billing's arrest. Alex had an open and shut case, and easily got a guilty verdict. The only thing that Olivia had to worry about now was whoever Stanley was.

She had been seeing Huang, and had been making progress, although Elliot discovered that she was becoming distant from him. Huang suggested that He take Olivia out for a night on the town.

That's what he planned on doing this night. He had told Olivia to be ready by seven, and arranged for Fin and Munch to watch Isabelle.

"You almost ready?" Elliot called into the bedroom.

"I'm coming." Olivia called back. It wasn't like her to take this long to get ready. Her beauty seemed to come effortlessly.

Elliot suddenly noticed the lack of noise coming from the living room. He poked his head in to find it empty. "Hey Liv, do you know where Bella went?" He asked.

"She's in here." Olivia called back.

Elliot's interest had been peaked. He cracked open the door and peered in. He couldn't help but smile at what he saw.

Olivia was sitting on a chair in front of her vanity. She had on a black knee length cocktail dress and pearl earrings. Her hair was neatly tucked back behind her ears.

On her lap sat a giggly Isabelle. Olivia was helping her put on some lipstick. Elliot's heart melted when he saw how much joy their daughter could bring to his wife. Isabelle was the only one who seemed to be able to make Olivia smile lately.

"So this is what's taking so long in here." Elliot smiled from the door way.

"Mommy helped me put on makeup." Isabelle smiled through stained lips, and rouged cheeks. "Don't I look pretty Daddy?" She asked.

"You look beautiful baby, but why don't we let Mommy finish getting ready?" He answered. He walked across the room, and held his arms out to Isabelle to pick her up off of Olivia's lap.

Isabelle jumped into her father's arms, but Olivia rose with her. "Don't worry El, I'm ready." She smiled.

They three of them went into their living room to await the sitters' arrival.

Elliot tossed his youngest daughter onto the couch, causing her to squeal with delight.

"Don't get that makeup on my couch." Olivia warned.

Elliot let out a small laugh, and then plopped himself on the couch as Isabelle took off to her room.

"I can't believe we are intrusting the life of our daughter with Munch and Fin." Olivia noted after watching Isabelle run out of the room."You sure all your kids are busy?" She asked hopefully.

"Maureen's girlfriends took her out to do wedding stuff, Kathleen's at school,Liz is at the movies, and Rick (Dickie) has a date." Elliot sighed. "Don't worry." He added. He scooted up on the couch so that he could pull Olivia closer to him, and wrap his arms around her waist. "I enlisted both Munch and Fin for a reason. There's no way they can both screw this up." He smiled.

Olivia swatted his shoulders playfully, but leaned into his embrace. His arms felt warm and safe.

"I'm glad you decided to come out tonight." Elliot smiled as he looked up at Olivia.

Shejust smiled, but before she could answer was cut off by a knock at the door.

"I'll get it!" Isabelle yelled. She ran from her bedroom to the front door before Olivia could beat her to it.

"Ask who it is first." Olivia cautioned.

"Who is it?" Isabelle yelled through the door.

Munch and Fin couldn't help but smile at the small voice.

"Your favorite Uncles." Fin called back.

Olivia nodded letting Isabelle know that she could let the two men in.

"Hi Uncle Munch and Fin." Isabelle smiled as she opened the door. "Come on in."

"Nice dress." Fin noted as he entered the apartment and saw Olivia. "Where's Elliot takin you?" He asked.

"I don't know, he won't tell me." She answered.

"We've been married almost five years; you have to leave some mystery." Elliot smiled, getting up form the couch.

Olivia just smiled, and then turned her attention back to the two men who would be watching her daughter.

"I already gave Bella dinner, and she knows bedtime is at 8. She can watch some TV before bed, and she can have some desert. Don't let her over do it though, or she'll never sleep." Olivia instructed. She continued, "She already had her bath, and is in her pajamas, so you don't have to worry about that. Just make sure she brushes her teeth before bed, and if you could just wipe off her "makeup" than would be great. You two can help yourself to anything in the house. Oh, and El and I will both have our phones, but just in case, I left El's parent's number, Kathy's number, Maureen's cell, my girlfriend Jill's, and Isabelle's pediatrician's number on the fridge. I assume that you guys both already know the number for posion controll" She finished.

"I think we'll be able to manage Olivia, relax." Munch comforted. "Just go out, and have a good time with your husband."

"Okay." Olivia smiled. "Bella, Mommy and Daddy are gonna go now, but we'll be back soon. Be good for Uncle Munch and Fin."

"I will Mommy, have fun." Isabelle answered. She kissed Olivia, and hugged Elliot before shooing them out the door.

"Well, looks like she's okay with us going out. Are you?" Elliot asked after the door closed behind them.

Olivia simply looked at Elliot, smiled, and said, "Let's go."
