"Hey Liv, what are you doing up?" Fin asked as he peered his head into her hospital room.

"Goin home." Olivia answered.

"Already?" Munch asked.

"The chloroform wore off a little while ago. I'm all cleared." Olivia smiled.

"So, I hear Cragen gave you some time off." Munch noted as he and Munch entered the room. "You gonna take it?"

"Yeah, I think this one I'll take." Olivia laughed.

"What are you gonna do with the time?" Fin asked.

"Well, I think I'll sleep in, drive Isabelle to school, and then pick her up. I'll stay up late watching late night TV, maybe have lunch with Jill, give the apartment a good cleaning, and by the third day rip my hair out due to boredom." She answered.

"Hey guys." Cragen said as he finally made his appearance. "I hate to break up the party, but I need Munch and Fin back at the house."

"Why?" Olivia asked.

"Stanley's sitting in a holding cell waiting to be interrogated." Cragen answered with a smile.

Olivia couldn't help but smiled. "Do you need me to come in?" Olivia asked.

"No, Benson, I told you at least three days medical leave, no exceptions." Cragen ordered.

"Yes sir." Olivia smiled. "But if you need me, you know where I'll be."

Olivia woke up to the sound of the alarm clock. Elliot's breath was heavy on her neck. His arms were draped tightly around her, and she couldn't move to shake her husband awake, so she elbowed him lightly.

"Wake up." She whined.

"I'm up, I'm up." Elliot lied. He pulled Olivia closer to him and kissed her neck.

"Elliot." She smiled. "You have to go to work; we don't have time for this."

"But I don't wanna go to work." He playfully whined back.

"Oh no." Olivia smiled; she turned so that she was lying on her back. "I have big plans for today. You are going to work."

"That's not what you said last night." Elliot smiled as he nuzzeled his nose into the side of his wife's warm neck.

"You are so obnoxious!" Olivia laughed as she swatted him playfully. "But you really have to get up for work."

"Alright, alright, I'm going." He answered as he forced himself out of the bed.

Olivia kicked him playfully as he padded into the bathroom.

Shepulled the covers up to her neck, and reveled in the fact that she could just lay in that bed for as long as she wanted.

About half an hour later Isabelle trotted up to the bed,

"I'm going to school now Mommy. I love you." She said as she kissed Olivia on the nose.

"Love you too baby." Olivia smiled. "I'll pick you up after school, so look for me at dismissal." She said as her daughter trotted back out of the room.

After Isabelle left Elliot came in.

"You gonna beokay here all day?" He asked.

"I'll be fine." Olivia answered. "And if I get lonely I can always just remember last night." She said seductively.

"You sure you're okay?" He asked again.

"El, I'm fine. What's wrong with you?" She asked.

"You just gave us a scare the other day Liv. I can't loose you." Elliot said, sitting on the bed.

"Don't worry babe, you won't. Stanley is in jail, and Cragen couldn't find any other connections besides Billings. I'll be fine." She smiled, kissing him chastely on the lips. "Now go, Isabelle is gonna be late for school."

Elliot left, and she flopped back into her pillows. She lay in bed for a little while until boredom took hold of her.

She got out of her bed, and padded into the kitchen where she poured herself a cup of coffee and a bowl of cereal.

She curled up on the couch with her breakfast, and flipped through some mid morning talk shows.

After watching some mind numbing show about a guy who was having and affair with his sister's husband she decided to shower, and take the chance to go grocery shopping while it was still light out. She usually only got to go after her shift at work was over.

After returning form the store she decided to call her best friend Jill, and have lunch with her. They went to a small restaurant they both liked, and had lunch and some coffee. Jill's son went to school with Isabelle, so they saw each other a lot, but always enjoyed when they got togo out without their kids.

After coffee Jill talked Olivia into doing some shopping, and before Olivia knew it, it was time to pick Isabelle up at school.

Isabelle ran out of her class line when she saw her mother. She extended her arms to her mother with a wide smile on her face.

"Mommy!" She squealed.

"Hi baby." Olivia smiled as she knelt down to Isabelle's level. She wrapped her arms around her daughter in a loving hug. "How was school?"

"Great, we made books, and mine is about you and Daddy, and how you help people every day!" She smiled. "We're bringing them home tomorrow; you and Daddy can read it then."

"Sounds great." Olivia smiled. She took hold of Isabelle's hand and they walked back to their apartment. Isabelle skipped the whole way there.

Once they got home Isabelle got started on her homework, which was to draw a picture of something beginning with the letter R, and Olivia decided to do some cleaning. It was Wednesday, and Kathy would be dropping the twins off soon.

They were 17, and usually needed someone on their back to make sure they got their homework done.

She cleaned until she heard the front door opening.

"Hey Olivia, hi Izzy." Elizabeth said as she entered the apartment.

"Hey sweetie. How are you?" Olivia greeted.

"I'm good how are you feeling?" Elizabeth asked as she tossed her books on to the couch.

"I'm feeling a lot better, thanks." Olivia smiled. "Hi Dickie, hi Kathy." She said as she walked over to the door.

"Liv, are you sure that you're up to having the kids over?" Kathy asked.

"Yeah, I'm good." Olivia answered.

"Alright. Kids, I'll see you tomorrow, have fun." Kathy said.

Elizabeth and Dickie hugged their mother.

"Oh, and get that homework done!" She warned as she left.
