Three Months Later
Alex smiled as she unpacked the last box. Finally she had finally moved in with Jackson. Strong arms wrapped around her waist and a kiss was planted on her cheek. She turned in Jackson's arms. "Hey honey, finally got the last box unpacked." She murmured in his ear. Jackson smiled. "Not that you had that much stuff to move in." he replied, stroking her hair. Alex laughed. "That's cause I didn't find anything worth bringing over." He pulled her into a kiss and Alex responded by wrapping her arms around him and closing her eyes. Just then the door opened.
Olivia and Elliot walked in hand in hand. Olivia was holding a present wrapped in purple, glittery wrapping paper. They both laughed when Alex and Jackson quickly broke apart. "Did we interrupt something?" Olivia asked with an amused grin on her face. Alex was blushing furiously. "No no…" she said trying to cover up the embarrassing moment. "Just unpacking." "Yeah. Just unpacking" Jackson put in, wrapping his arm around Alex's shoulders. Elliot laughed. "In each other's mouths." He teased and got a slap from Olivia. Olivia handed Alex the present. "Housewarming gift." She explained. Alex smiled. "Thanks…that was sweet of you." She said, taking it and putting it on the counter.
Olivia grinned. She couldn't believe it had been three months since she and Elliot had admitted their feelings for each other and she further couldn't believe that one week later, he had moved in with her. Her only concern at the moment was when Elliot's kids would accept her. Then there was a beep that broke into her thoughts.
All four of them checked their pagers. Olivia held hers up. "It's mine." She said so Alex would stop searching every single surface for hers. Elliot nodded. "Mine too." He said. Alex looked up. "Does this mean you guys have to go?" she asked, a little disappointed. Olivia gave Alex a hug. "Yeah we gotta run, but drinks on Friday after court?" she asked, knowing Alex would agree. "Whether we win or lose the case." Alex promised. Jackson gave Elliot a friendly grin. "Good luck detective." He said. Elliot glared at Jackson. "Yeah." He replied almost sarcastically. He hadn't quite forgiven Jackson yet for putting Olivia through an emotional hell when he ran her story. He knew it wasn't his fault but Elliot just needed someone to blame. Also he just hated reporters.
Alex sat back and felt Jackson's strong embrace. "I guess that means we have some alone time. I have the day off." She murmured in his ear. Jackson laughed. "For once in a blue moon." He moved closer to her and let her lay her head on his shoulder. Alex snuggled up to him. She couldn't believe how she felt. Or how much he had been there for her. Before cases, he would hold her tightly and try and calm her down when she grew angry. He was there for her and she had forgotten how good being cared for and loved felt. She closed her eyes, never wanting the moment to end.

Olivia and Elliot arrived at the precinct later than usual. No one pointed it out. Munch casually walked up to them. "What were you guys doing this morning?" he asked, trying to make the question sound very innocent. Olivia raised her eyebrows. "Why Munch I didn't know you cared." She teased. Munch crossed his arms. "Can't a friend ask what's going in?" he questioned, still trying to make it an innocent question. Elliot held up a hand. "We were at Alex's." he said with a smile, knowing full well what Munch was up to even if Olivia didn't. Munch nodded a thanks. Fin came up from behind Munch and held out his hand. Munch grumbled as he handed him a twenty. The whole squad got a good laugh from the expression on Olivia's face.
Moment later, Cragen walked in. "Benson, Stabler did you pull the files for the Bigelow case?" he asked. Olivia and Elliot glanced at each other. Uh- oh. "We uhh…" Olivia started. Munch stood up. "Yeah they're on your desk." He said covering for them with a wink. Olivia mouthed a thanks and Elliot grinned. He moved to stand behind Olivia and put his hands on her shoulders. She looked up to flash the man she loved an affectionate smile. "Good." Cragen said ignoring the tender exchange between them. "Olivia I'm going to put you in court for this case. Elliot be there just in case. Alex will be Casey's cocouncil in this case." He informed them. Olivia and Elliot nodded. Casey walked in with a pile of paper that was threatening to fall over. "Liv. We need to prep for this case. I've put it off long enough." She said, trying to balance all the papers. Olivia got up and gave Elliot a peck on the cheek. "I'll see you at home." She murmured in his ear. He nodded. "Love you." He whispered. "Ditto." She replied with a smile. She followed Casey out and grabbed some of the papers before the whole thing fell over.

Alex got a call in the middle of the day. She and Jackson were watching TV together. She untangled herself from him and the blanket that was wrapped around them. Jackson didn't unwrap his arms and she squirmed out with a smile. Jackson groaned. "Come in. Stay home a little while longer." He said when he saw her going into the bedroom to change. "I can't." Alex said, her voice muffled. "Something's up." She came back into the room, dressing in a gray suit, pulling her long hair back into a bun. At that moment her cellphone rang. She picked it up. "Cabot." She said in a professional manner. Desperate words came over the phone line but were too matted for Jackson to hear. However, he could see Alex's eyes grow wide with horror. He stood up and started to talk toward her. She backed away from him. "What!" she demanded, looking at Jackson with anger. "He did what?"

I was thinking about making all the action happen in court. I got the idea from the Fanfic, "Split Second." Written by LovelyLivia. I don't know if that would be copying her though and her story is really great so I don't want to steal anything from. The next chapter might come alittle more slowly cause I have some debating to do.
