It was two years since Mark died; Casey and Elliot were the ones that took care of Olivia and the kids. The week of the funeral James and Jenny spent nights with Elliot and his kids while Casey spent the night with Olivia trying to soothe her. It was the two-year anniversary of his death and Casey knew Olivia wouldn't want to get up or do anything so she went over to her house early in the morning since she knew the kids went camping with Mark's sister.
"What you doing up so early?" Casey asked when she saw Elliot come out of his car.
"Came to check on liv, you?" He asked as they went up her steps.
"Same" Casey answered as she unlocked the door with the extra key Olivia gave her.
"You need to leave now, please go" They heard Olivia say from her room, they looked at each other and walked over to see what was going on.
"What's your problem, you wanted it," A man said pulling up his jeans.
"Please just leave my house" Olivia said again her eyes getting watery.
"Jeez you have issues" The man mumbled and grabbed his shirt.
"Tell me something I didn't know already" Olivia mumbled as the man walked past Elliot and Casey and left the house. Olivia saw them looking at the man and then at her.
"I was drunk, not a word from either one of you" Olivia said and turned to the side and started crying. Elliot looked at Casey and she just nodded, Elliot went to kitchen while Casey went in her room.
"Hey sweetie" Casey said gently sitting on the edge of the bed and stroking her shoulder.
"I got wasted last night at a bar and it just happened, I don't know why" Olivia choked through her tears.
"Its ok honey, no one is blaming you, its ok to move on" Casey reassured her.
"No its not, the kids are camping and I realized today is two years without him and I just wanted to get drunk and I ended up having a one night stand with a stranger," Olivia mumbled crying.
"I know it's hard for you but its ok to move on, he would want you to be happy, you know that"
"I know, but I just miss him so much" Olivia choked out and hugged her. Casey hugged her and wiped the tear that started to roll down her cheek since she missed him also cause he was like a brother to her.
"I know you do, we all do, but you can't just sit here and cry it's going to make you feel worse"
"I know" Olivia said nodding.
"Honey I have arraignment in an hour, Elliot is here but if you need anything just call me ok?" Casey told her, Olivia just nodded.
"I will, thanks" Olivia said and lay down in bed again.
"Of course, you want me to go get Elliot?" Casey asked getting up. Olivia just nodded and turned to the side. Casey left the room and called Elliot.
"How you doing?" Elliot asked coming in the room.
"I don't know, I just had sex with a stranger in my husbands bed, I feel like crap" Olivia admitted and stared at the wall. Elliot lay down next to her and stared at the ceiling.
"Its ok to move on, you know that, its healthy to live your life, talk to me liv" Elliot assured her.
"It's been two years and for all the time we were together he never left the house or hung up the phone without saying he loved me or giving me a kiss"
"He did love and he still does you know that no matter what that wont change"
"Now its been two years and when I leave the house for work I just leave with my gun and badge, he would always wake up in the middle of the night when I got a call and talk to me while I got ready, now I have to awake up alone and just go out the door" Olivia choked out and started crying again. Elliot took her into a hug and held her.
"Your not alone honey, you have two great kids, and you know me and Casey are here for anything you need" Elliot whispered stroking her hair.
"I know, thank you," She whispered. Elliot just nodded and held her. Without even realizing it, they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
Elliot's phone rang; he opened his eyes and saw Olivia next to him. One of her legs was over his, her head on his chest and her hand around his stomach, his arm around her waist. She slowly started waking up to the ringing.
"Get the phone Mark," She mumbled half asleep. Elliot looked at her and realized she was probably having a dream and didn't realize that Mark wasn't there to get the phone for two years.
"Baby get the phone" She mumbled her eyes still closed and she started rubbing Elliot's chest. Elliot didn't want to say anything and make her get back to reality. He took his phone quickly and put it on silent.
"Thanks" she mumbled sleepily and kissed him, Elliot's eyes just got wide and slowly pulled away. Olivia felt it wasn't the same lips; she quickly opened her eyes and saw Elliot looking shocked. She quickly moved away from him.
"I'm sorry El, I just…I was having a dream and I thought it was Mark, I'm so sorry" She apologized and got out of bed.
"It's ok, I figured you were dreaming when you said his name, its fine" Elliot sad getting out of bed.
"For two years I slept alone and when I felt someone next to me I just thought it was Mark, I'm sorry Elliot I didn't mean to" Olivia apologized again, feeling horrible that she made him uncomfortable.
"Its fine Olivia, I understand, you don't need to apologize twenty times," He said with a smirk. Olivia just returned the smirk.
"Your phone rang, who was it?" She asked. He looked at his phone and saw that Cragen was the missed call.
"Cragen, I'm going to go call him, I'll be right back." Elliot said and left the room and closed the door behind him.
Olivia grabbed a pair of jeans and a sweater. She smiled looking at the sweater, remembering when Mark tried to pull it off when they were going to have sex but it got tangled and he started cursing at the sweater as both of them laughed hysterically. She smiled at the memory and pulled it on. She grabbed her jeans and pulled them on. Remembering how he used to put his hand in her back pocket all the time.
Elliot knocked on the door and came in when Olivia said it was ok.
"Cragen called and we have a case, why don't you hang out here and I'll get Fin to go with me," Elliot said trying to be sensitive on the two-year anniversary of her husbands' death.
"Sitting here wont get me to not think about it, I'll go with you," Olivia said with a smirk.
"You don't need to, I'll get Fin its fine" Elliot tried again.
"No El, please, I don't need to sit here and think about it, I will feel horrible just sitting here, I want to go with you" Olivia reassured him.
"Ok, if you're sure" Elliot said nodding. Olivia nodded and grabbed her gun and badge and followed him outside to go to another crime scene.
They were at the precinct by 11 that morning, all talking about their recent case.
"Excuse me, I'm looking for Olivia Benson," A man said coming into the bullpen. There were 3 more men by his side. All of them were wearing black suites with white dress shirts and ties.
All the detectives looked up and then looked at Olivia. Olivia got up from her chair.
"I'm Olivia Benson, can I help you?" She asked looking confused.
"Well…the easiest way to explain is by saying witness protection and showing you this" One of the men said and moved out of the way, all three men did the same.
Mark was standing behind all of the men with a smirk looking at Olivia.
"No fucking way" John said in shock.
"Holy shit" was all that came from Fin.
"Oh my god" Elliot said staring at him.
"You got to be kidding" Cragen said staring at him.
Olivia said nothing as her eyes started forming tears and she just stared as her jaw dropped.
Mark stepped on a chair and walked over a table. Fin and Munch quickly moved out of the way seeing that Mark wasn't paying attention to anyone except Olivia. He jumped off the table and hugged her. She dropped all the files and papers she had in her hand and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"That's what I call an entrance," Fin whispered with a smirk. John smiled grabbed the papers that Mark stepped over.
Mark grabbed her face and kissed her. She smiled as she kissed him back and pulled him closer. Elliot and Cragen just smiled, glad to see her smile again.
"I missed you" Mark whispered and wiped the tear away from her face.
"I missed you too," She whispered smiling. Cragen cleared his throat and made his face serious again.
"Detective Benson go home since you have the flu." Cragen said trying not to smile.
"Yes sir" Olivia said with a smirk. Mark just smiled and held her hand.
"I think someone owes me money for putting flowers on his grave" John said smirking. Mark smiled and patted him on the shoulder.
"I have official FBI business now I'll buy you each a beer next time" Mark said smiling and pulling Olivia out of the bullpen. Everyone smiled and rolled their eyes and started doing work again.
Mark and Olivia stumbled in the house kissing. Mark picked her up by the waist and put her on the counter top in the kitchen.
"Where are the kids?" He asked kissing her neck and standing in between her legs.
"Camping, they're coming back later today" Olivia answered and pulled off his shirt.
"Good" Mark said smiling pulling off her sweater. He grabbed her and carried her to their room and gently put her on the bed and sat on top of her.
"Two years later and you still have an amazing body," she said smiling and running her hands down over his chest. She touched a scar on his stomach and looked at it "you have a scar from that day?" She asked touching his stomach.
"Yea, I'll explain everything after sex, cause I'm way to happy to see you now" He said smiling as he started getting an erection.
"You read my mind" she said smiling and unzipping his jeans and flipped over to sit on top of him. He smiled and unzipped her jeans. She kissed his chest and ran her hand down his boxers.
"Has this gotten bigger from the last time I saw you?" She teased stroking him. He let out a gasp and smiled.
"No, its just very happy to see you without a shirt" he teased back and unhooked her bra. She smiled and pulled her hand out and started kissing him again.
Half an hour later they fell back on the bed, sweaty and panting.
"Oh god" Olivia said smiling and breathing hard.
"Oh man, I have waited for that for too long," Mark said smiling and breathing hard. Olivia smiled and wrapped her hands around his stomach and moved closer to him.
"I missed you so much" She said as she started kissing his chest cause she knew that was a turn on for him.
"I missed you too, I love you so much" He said wrapping his arms around her body.
"Round two or do we talk about what happened?" She asked looking up at him.
"You know I just want sex right now, but lets get some food and I'll explain everything and then we can go for it again" he said smiling and taken the bed sheet and wrapping it around his waist, she took the other bed sheet and wrapped it around her.
He walked over to the fridge and opened the door. She came and hugged him from the back and rested her head on his back, smiling feeling his warm skin on her face, feeling safe and happy again.
"What do you want to eat?" he asked taking out a cake for him and putting it on the counter.
"What ever you're eating," she answered snuggling closer to him. He smiled and turned around to face her.
"I love you," he whispered putting his arms around her.
"I love you too," she said smiling looking into his eyes.
"Lets eat, so I can have my energy for round two" he said smirking, she smiled and gave him a kiss. He grabbed two forks and they went back to bed sharing the cake and talking.
"Why did you have to go in witness protection?" she asked feeding him a piece of cake and then putting some in her mouth.
"Well the guys that were at the school were hired by this criminal I arrested a year before it happened, some of my agents found out while I was having surgery and they sneaked in so you guys didn't find out. They knew that the guy was still out there and had a hit out on me, so they knew that the only way to be safe is if I was officially dead. They ordered the doctor to tell you that I was dead and he did." Mark answered playing with the cake and not looking up.
"Is the guy gone now?" Olivia asked looking at him.
"Yea, he got killed a week ago so they started doing paper work right away to get me out of witness protection, cause I told them I wanted out the second he was in jail or dead, I didn't have a choice to go in, I'm sorry I left" Mark answered finally looking up at her.
"Don't be. I'm glad you're safe, and even more that you're not dead," Olivia said with a smirk.
"Me too, cause I think being dead wouldn't be so fun" He said smiling. She started laughing.
"I love you, I'm so glad you're back" she said smiling and hugging him.
"So does that mean round two?" he asked running his hand down her back.
"Yes it definitely does," she said smiling kissing him. He smiled and lay on top of her and kissed her.
After 45 minutes they fell back on the bed smiling and breathing hard.
"You are amazing" Mark said smiling and panting.
"Right back at you" she said smiling and touching his chest watching his muscular stomach go up and down.
"When are the kids supposed to come?" Mark asked stroking her back gently. She turned around and looked at the clock. 1:40.
"In an hour and 20 minutes" she answered and rested her head on his chest.
"Ok, lets go take a shower and figure out how we explain it to them how I'm back" Mark suggested. Olivia nodded and got up. Mark smiled watching her; she turned around and saw him looking.
"You coming?" she asked with a smirk.
"Yup" he said smiling and jumped out of bed and pushed her towards the shower, she laughed as he pressed her against the tiles and turned on the water.
"Shower with a girl, haven't had that in two years" Mark said smiling. Olivia laughed and kissed him. "Did you hook up with anyone while I was gone?" he asked as he grabbed soap.
"Well…um…actually I got drunk last night and I had a one night stand with this guy, I'm sorry" she said kind of uncomfortable.
"Its ok, I got wasted on James's birthday and slept with some girl" Mark said smiling putting soap on his chest.
"Really? What girl?" She asked smiling.
"I was wasted how do I know, what guy did you sleep with?" He asked smiling and rinsing his chest.
"I was wasted how do I know," she mocked laughing.
"Call it even?" He asked as he gave her the soap and grabbed shampoo.
"Sure. So was she good?"
"Nothing compared to you"
"There's the answer you're supposed to say, now tell me the real answer," She said smiling, he just laughed.
"I'm serious, she didn't know where I liked to be touched like you do, she never kissed my chest like you do, really, she was nothing compared to you" he answered smiling and kissing her neck.
"Well I believe you," she said smiling and kissing his chest.
"So was this one night stand any good?" he asked smiling.
"Well…he wasn't bad" Olivia teased. Mark just laughed.
"Just say he was nothing compared to me" Mark instructed. Olivia laughed.
"You want me to lie?" She teased him again.
"Oh…nice, thank you, very nice" He said laughing.
"I'm kidding, he sucks and you rule, end of story," Olivia said laughing, he just laughed and kissed her.
They came out of the shower half an hour later, he had a towel around his waist, and she had a towel around her.
"Well sex in the shower is fun" He said smiling coming into their room.
"Don't get used to that, it only happened cause I haven't seen you in two years," She said smiling following him.
"I should go into witness protection every other year so I can get sex in the shower" He said sarcastically opening his closet, but there were hardly any clothes there.
"Oh sorry, I got rid of some clothes cause it was hard to keep them around cause everything smelled like you" Mark gave her a weird look "In a good way of course, it all reminded me of you cause it smelled like your cologne" she added smiling, he just laughed and grabbed a pair of jeans and a shirt that was left.
"How is Tommy doing?" Mark asked taking boxers from a drawer.
"He's good, he visits every weekend, and he is in a band now, he plays lead guitar" Olivia answered as she put on a bra.
"Really? He any good?" Mark asked as he pulled on his boxers.
"Yea very good, Casey and I go to his shows sometimes and we drag Elliot along" Olivia answered smiling and pulled on her jeans.
"Well I need to go see him play, how about the kids?"
"They're good, both of them are twelve so they're starting to do things they like, James is skateboarding all the time and he plays hockey for his school, Jenny is always on the phone with friends and she plays soccer"
"Wow, I missed a lot" Mark said and sat down on the bed and stared at the ground. Olivia sat by him and rested her head on his shoulder taking his hand.
"Don't worry about that, they will just be happy that you're here now, it was two years, not that much, don't worry about that now, ok?" She told him and gave him a kiss on the cheek. He just nodded and gave her a kiss.
They got dressed and laid in bed kissing until they heard the doorbell.
"It's the kids, I'll go get it, stay here until I call you ok?" Olivia said getting up. Mark just nodded and stared at the ceiling. Olivia left the room and closed the door behind her.
"Hey mom" James yelled out as she opened the door.
"Hey you guys, you have fun?" Olivia asked giving both of them a hug.
"Yup" Jenny answered.
"They weren't any trouble were they?" Olivia asked looking at Kristen and taking the kids backpacks that had a lot of candy in it.
"Of course not, we had fun, how are you doing?" Kristen asked.
"Very good, I need to talk to you for a second though" Olivia said with a smirk. Kristen nodded and went into the living room. Olivia explained to her how Mark was back; Kristen just smiled and went into their room to see her brother. Olivia went back to the kids to explain to them.
"Hey you two, I need to talk to you" Olivia said coming into the kitchen where James and Jenny were already eating candy "put the candy down, eat it after lunch" Olivia said, they nodded and put the candy back.
"What do you need to talk about?" James asked looking up at her.
"You know how dad died two years ago?" Olivia said kneeling down by them, both of them looked down and said nothing, "well he didn't die, he had to go away for a while cause bad men were chasing him, you guys understand?" Olivia asked. They looked up at her at the same time.
"Are you saying dad is alive?" Jenny asked.
"Yea, he wants to see you guys," Olivia said smiling.
"Really? Where is he?" James asked with a big smile.
"Lets go find him" Olivia said smiling. Jenny and James looked at each other and started running through the house.
"Dad!" James yelled opening doors.
"Daddy!" Jenny yelled out, they met at Olivia's bedroom and smiled at each other. Olivia smiled watching them and came behind them
James opened the door with Jenny and Olivia following him.
"Dad!" James yelled out when he saw Mark standing by the bed.
"Hey" Mark said and kneeled down. Jenny and James ran over and hugged him.
"I missed you" James said hugging him.
"I missed both of you so much" Mark said smiling and holding them. Jenny started crying. "Baby why are you crying?" Mark asked stroking her hair.
"I thought I wouldn't get to see you again" She choked out and rested her head on his shoulder.
"I know, but I'm here now, don't cry honey" Mark said kissing her on the cheek. Olivia and Kristen just smiled and watched.
"Dad I have to show you my skateboard" James said taking his hand and pulling him. Mark got up and held Jenny in his arms as James led him to his room.
After looking at all of their new stuff and the things they liked to do. It was already 6 at night. Jenny and James went with Kristen cause Tommy had a concert and Olivia and Mark went to see it.
"Casey said she might come" Olivia said as they walked in the concert hall that was already packed with people.
"Did she ever get a boyfriend?" Mark asked smiling.
"She had a couple of dates but never anything serious" Olivia answered smiling. Mark felt someone jump on his back. He looked over and saw Casey smiling and get off.
"Mark!" Casey yelled out and hugged him.
"Casey!" He yelled out and hugged her.
"I'm going to kick your ass for making Olivia cry" Casey said smiling glad to see her friend was back.
"Like you didn't cry, please, you know you missed me" Mark said smiling and letting go of her.
"Maybe a little, but that was for wasting my money on your alleged funeral" Casey said sarcastically. Mark just laughed.
"I found Tommy" Olivia said looking at Tommy making out with a girl.
"10 bucks his making out with a blonde" Casey said looking at Olivia.
"It's a brunette," Olivia said smiling,
"Damn, blonde was last time" Casey said shrugging.
"He makes out with girls every time he has a concert?" Mark asked.
"Yup, every time we see him his making out with a girl or flirting with her" Olivia answered.
"I thought him well," Mark said smiling. Casey hit him in the back of the head and Olivia slapped him on the stomach, Mark just smiled.
"His band should be up in 5 minutes," Casey said. They ordered drinks by the bar and waited.
"So you get laid recently Casey?" Mark teased as he sipped on his beer.
"Shut up at least I had sex in the last two years. Got orgasm Mark?" Casey teased back. He just laughed.
"Tommy's band is up" Olivia said when she Tommy came out on stage carrying his guitar.
"Lets see if he's any good" Mark said watching him. The band started playing and some people started a mosh pit in the middle of the crowd.
"Liv you want to mosh?" Mark yelled over the music.
"No way, those kids are nuts" Olivia yelled over the music.
"Case you want to mosh?" Mark asked Casey.
"Sure, lets go for it" Casey said taking his hand and pulled him into the mosh pit.
"Have fun getting beat up," Olivia yelled out smiling.
They came back a couple of minutes later. Olivia started laughing hysterically.
"Someone hit me in the jaw and grabbed my ass" Mark said smirking.
"I only got the ass part," Casey said smiling.
"I hope it was a girl that touched my ass" Mark said.
"That's what you two get for trying to mosh," Olivia said laughing. Both of them smiled rolling their eyes.
"I'm going to go backstage and explain to Tommy that your back, so he doesn't see you and freak out" Olivia said giving a kiss to Mark and left.
"Do the kids know your back?" Casey asked.
"Yea, I saw them today" Mark answered.
"Hey Casey" Someone said behind them, they turned around and saw a man who was Casey's age standing there.
"Hey Josh" Casey said smiling.
"Are you on a date?" Josh asked glancing at Mark.
"Yes she is," Mark answered smiling.
"No I'm not, Mark is a friend" Casey said rolling her eyes.
"Oh, in that case, can I buy you a drink?" Josh asked smiling.
"Sure, but that doesn't mean we will sleep together" Mark said smiling. Casey hit him in the back of the head.
"Mark go find something to do" Casey said giving him a look.
"Fine, but Josh you owe me a drink" Mark said smiling and walking away.
"Mark!" Someone yelled out, Mark turned around and Tommy was coming toward him with Olivia following him.
"Tommy, what's up man?" Mark said smiling and giving him a hug.
"Good, but don't hug me in public again," Tommy said sarcastically and shaking Mark's hand. Mark just laughed.
"Hey Tommy" A girl said coming by him.
"Hey Nicole," Tommy said smiling and checking her out. Olivia and Mark looked at each other and rolled their eyes.
"I'll meet you backstage" Nicole said smiling and winking at Tommy as she walked away. Tommy just bit his lip and watched her walk away.
"Mark, I know you just came back, but she is just too hot," Tommy said with pleading eyes.
"Fine, go" Mark said smiling.
"Oh, have to ask you something, do you have a condom by any chance?" Tommy asked in a low voice. Mark just gave him a look, "I ran out, I'm going to have sex with one or without one" Tommy said smiling.
Mark rolled his eyes and pulled out his wallet and hit him in the head first and then gave him the condom.
"Excuse me, I'm going to get laid" Tommy said smiling and walking away backstage.
"Why do you have a condom in your wallet?" Olivia asked smiling and wrapping her arm around his waist.
"You never know when I'll be happy to see you" Mark answered smiling putting his arm around her shoulder.
"Funny" Olivia said smiling and playfully slapping him on the stomach. "Where's Casey?" She asked.
"Getting hit on by some guy named Josh" Mark answered and pointed at Casey talking to Josh.
"Oh, they dated for a while, they met here when we came to see Tommy play" Olivia said.
"Can I go bother them?" Mark asked excitedly.
"No, leave her alone" Olivia answered laughing.
"Maybe she will get lucky tonight," Mark said smiling with a shrug.
"Maybe you wont" Olivia teased. He just laughed and hugged her.
They got home at 10. They went to bed since both of them were tired.
"I love you Olivia," Mark whispered as he wrapped his arms around her stomach.
"I love you too Mark," She whispered smiling putting her hands over his.
"Goodnight baby" He said and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
"Goodnight" she said smiling. She was so happy that he was lying next to her, she was finally happy again, finally felt safe. It was the best day in the past two years. They fell asleep holding each other.
