"Hey Mel," Liv said happily as she pushed the plastic sheeting door out of her way.

"Liv," Melinda smiled, and then remembered the partial corpse lying on the table. Mel grabbed a sheet, but it was too late,

"How are- ew," Liv's voice trailed off and her face screwed up. Mel covered the body with a sheet.

"Sorry," she apologized, knowing Liv hated anything to do with amputations, "he lost a battle with a propeller." Liv just shook her head; she didn't trust her voice. "Don't worry, he's not your corpse," Mel said, and gestured her into her office, away from what remained of the remains.

Liv sighed as she settled into the chair.

"Well, at least you don't look as green now," Mel said, smiling. Liv just glared at her. "Where's Elliot?" Mel asked, changing the subject. Liv cleared her throat.

"On the phone with Dickie-sorry, Rick," Liv corrected herself, "He's having girl problems," she said, a little smile coming through.

"So, we've got a few minutes to ourselves then," Mel said, and started sauntering towards her. Liv lost her pallor with the quick flush that rose in her cheeks.

"I suppose we do," she said, suddenly feeling much better. She rose from her chair to meet Mel in the centre of the room.

"What should we do?" Mel asked as Liv reached under her lab coat and pulled her close.

"Excellent question," Liv mumbled, right before their lips met.

"He'll be here any -ooh," Mel mumbled while Liv kissed up her jawbone, and then hit that special spot behind her ear.

"Few minutes more," was all the reply Liv could manage.

"Hello?" Elliot's voice called. The women jumped apart and straightened themselves out. One quick inspection later and they walked out to meet him.

"How's Rick?" Liv asked nonchalantly,

"Oh, he'll be fine," Elliot said, and went on to fill them in about Rick's predicament with this girl. Mel didn't really know Elliot's children that well, so instead she just watched Liv take in the story. She knew how much Liv cared about those kids, hell all kids, and she felt her love grow. 'She'll make such a great mother some day,' Mel thought. Liv caught the smile Mel was giving her and reached out under the table to take her hand. Mel's smile grew and she just enjoyed standing there, holding the hand of the woman she loved.

The End :)
