Hey Everyone! Thanks to all who reviewed: futurecop, littlesweetcupcake and many others!

Now we get closer to the part we have all been waiting for...drums please...Elliot and Olivia! Woohoo!

If your wondering about Kathy, don't. She will be explained in a later chapter. Wow, when I first started writing this story I was only planning on writing like 6 or 7 chapters and now I don't know when its going to end.

Anyways, enough of the pointless rambling. Onward with Chapter 12!

Chapter 12: Are you sure?

Seeing Olivia sink into a world of sorrowness and shame, brought Elliot's anger to its peak. Anger for those bastards hurting so deeply. It had been almost a month since the attack and she still hadn't talk to a soul about it.

With Elliot staying and comforting her, she felt such a security and trust that she never knew in the opposite sex, or hers for that matter.

Olivia trusted Elliot with her life, her feelings, but never her heart like she gave to him moment by moment so willingly. Her fellings were always masked, but now it was like if she didn't tell him now then she would explode.

The only concern that laid with Olivia was how Elliot felt about her.

Well now its her time to open up to her partner. Wiping her eyes, Olivia started first, " I always thought about what I would do if I was raped. Go through all the scenarios. After awhile I decided tht it would never happen, never even considered it as a possibility. And because of that I was unprepared...and too think it happened in my own apartment. It just shouldn't of happened to me, I am a detective for crying out loud, Special Victims detective nontheless."

As she finished this she had fallen onto Elliot's sturdy chest with him gently cradling them back forth. Muffled sobs silently shook into his chest. God how I care for her, how I...love her in such an addictive way. Elliot thought. Hesitating, he decided to speak to her words.

"Olivia, just because your a detective doesn't mean you invinceable. I am not gonna feed you that 'victim' crap and say I understand how you feel, cause in reality I haven't got a clue. But I do understand that your hurting and will need time to mentally heal. I just want you to know that I will always be there for you no matter what, just like you are for me."

For a while the just sat in comforting silence until Olivia spoke.

"Your a good friend El, and a great partner. I don't know what I would do without you. Ha. I remember when we were working a case and talking to a poassible suspect. It was the guy who photographed models and 'measured' them. He barely touched my face and made some snide remark about my bone structure and you made him fall back on the ground. Your always so proctective over me, like I was some china doll. You always stood while I sat in the interrogation rooms, or were one step in front of me if we talked to a suspect outside the station. I never knew why but know I do."

"Yeah, and I know you never needed protecting but I enjoy protecting you. Ilike taking care of you if you are sick, hurt or anything. I like comforting you, Olivia. I don't Know what I would do without you either. God only knows how much I care for you. Whenever you get hurt in the field a part of feels like I got hurt also. Whatever it is a part of me breaks."

Sitting up from her embracement of Elliot she looked into his eyes, slightly confused.

"What are you saying El?" Her voice quivered with hopeful nerves.

"I guess what I am saying is that, well, that I love you. I have since that first day I walked into cragen's office. I have always known it even though I tried not to admit it to myself. Hell, even Kathy couold tell of my obsession to you. I know you might not be ready to confess your feelings to me and whether they are good or bad I will waithow ever long it takes for you to be ready. If I have to wait a year or two that is okay, cause I love you Olivia Benson."

Now she was just staight up balling in tears. This had been like a fairy tale, so beautiful and romantic. But Olivia didn't believe in them, never had. Holding each other's hand, longingly looking in one another's eyes, Olivia thought that perhaps she could and should believe in this one fairy tale. No longer knowing how to express her feelings to the love of her life, she leaned over and gently kissed him. Pulling away from their kiss, Elliot softly wiped away the tears glistening on Liv's face. What had been tears of pain for many weeks, now turned into tears of joy.

Just as quickly as they started, Elliot and Olivia delved back into their sensous kiss. Deepening it even further, Olivia's toungue explored Elliot's mouth. Now laying back on the couch in Oliva's apartment, when they began getting more...involved, they suddenly started rolling. Being only so much couch space the next sound was a loud thud on the oriental styled rug.

"Ow!" Sounded Elliot. His body had softened Olivia's still tender body's fall. Elliot, realized this and quickly helped her up.

"Oh God! YOu not hurt are you, I didn't mean to..."

"I'm fine El, just shut up and quit caring so much." Now they were standing. Jumping back into their kiss, they stumpled for the bedroom.

After a few minutes they were in front of each other's naked bodies.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah, I have never been more sure in my life El."

Okay, I know some people wanted to read the 'scene' but I don't want to write a trashy fic where every other chapter Elliot and Olivia are going at it. But you get the picture of what they are doing. So I hope you liked it. Now review. I will need 46 reviews to continue!
