What's this?

Olivia woke up suddenly with light shining in her eyes.

"What time is it?" She asked groggily after looking around the room and remembering where she was.

Elliot was still sitting in bed with her, but he was wide awake and appeared to be filling out paper work.

"It's about 2:30, go back to sleep." Elliot whispered.

"What are you doing?" Olivia asked, straightening up in bed and stretching a little.

"The doctors wanted me to fill out the insurance papers." Elliot answered.

"At two o'clock in the morning?" Olivia asked surprised.

"Yeah, I guess they wanted to be sure they got their money, in case I croak in my sleep." He laughed.

"Elliot, that's not funny." Olivia yawned.

"I'd be finished by now if this damn pen would work though!" He added.

"You want me to get you another one?" Olive asked.

"Would ya mind?" Elliot asked.

"Oh yeah, because getting a pen for you is putting me out so much." Olivia said mocking him.

"There's one in my coat pocket smart ass." Elliot joked back.

"Uh, but that's all the way across the room!" Olivia continued, she laughed a little, then got up to get it.

"Okay, let's see, 'do I have any STD's?'" Elliot read out loud. "That would be a no." He chuckled.

"Well let's hope not." Olivia smiled as she rummaged through his jacket pockets for a pen.

"'Heart disease, bladder problems?'" He read again. "No, and No."

"You're having a little too much fun reading that sweetie." Olivia smiled.

"Hey, I've been stuck in this hospital bed all night, this is the only thing I can do!" He answered with a laugh.

"You really need a hob…" Olivia began when she felt something that made her stop.

"I need a what?" Elliot asked, looking up from his paper work.

Olivia slowly wrapped her hand around the square shaped box she had discovered in Elliot's coat pocket. She pulled it out slowly.

"Livia, you okay?" Elliot asked, growing concerned with her odd behavior.

"Elliot, what is this?" Olivia asked. Not taking her eyes off of the black velvet box in her hand.

Elliot felt the color run from his face when he realized what Olivia had found. "Liv, that's not what you think." He stammered.

"Then what is it?" She asked.

"It's um, it's." Elliot began, trying to think something up off the top of his head. This was not the way he planned on proposing to his girlfriend.

"Elliot." Olivia pushed.

"Look, Liv, I, I didn't want to do this like this." He finally said.

"Do what?" Olivia asked. She was still frozen in her spot. She thought she knew what the box meant, and hoped that she was right, but didn't want to jump to conclusions.

"Come here." Elliot said gently.

She did as she was told and slowly approached the bed, and sat on the edge. "What didn't you want to do this way?" She asked again.

"Livia, I have been holding on to this for a while now, trying to plan the most memorable way to ask you." He began, taking one of her hand in his.

"Ask me what?" Olivia asked, locking eyes with Elliot.

"Olivia, I love you so much." He stated simply. "I love everything about you. I love your beauty, and strength, and passion. I love everything about you." He smiled.

"Well, thank you." Olivia blushed. "But what did you need to ask me?" She pushed.

"Will you let me finish please." Elliot smiled. "I can't remember what my life was like before you were in it, and I don't want to. You are truly my better half. Liv, this may not be the most ideal place to do this, but I don't care anymore. I want to wake up to your beautiful face every morning, and fall asleep with you in my arms every night, for the rest of my life. I love you Olivia. Will you marry me?" He finally asked.

Olivia was speechless. Her eyes glazed over with tears. She never in a million years would have thought that her partner, the man she had always loved, would ever love her enough to marry her.

"Liv?" Elliot asked.

"Of course I will." She said hoarsely and with a huge smile.

She flung herself into Elliot's waiting arms, and pulled his lips to hers.

"You wanna see your ring?" Elliot asked with a smile when Olivia finally pulled away.

She nodded and slowly opened the box she still had in her hands. Inside the black velvet was the ring with the emerald cut stone in the middle and two smaller emerald cut stones on either side that Elliot and his kids had picked out.

"Oh Elliot, it's beautiful." Olivia cooed.

"The kids and I knew you'd like it." He smiled.

Olivia let him take it out and slide it on her left ring finger.

"I know that this isn't the most romantic way to do this and all, but since when does anything work out the way we planned in our lives?" Elliot asked with an air of apology in his voice.

"Elliot, you know that stuff doesn't matter to me. I could have cared less if you got down on one knee at the top of the Eiffel Tower, or if you asked me over the phone. All I care bout is the fact that you want to spend the rest of your life with me." She said lovingly as she took his face in her hands and kissed him gently. "I love you Elliot Stabler."

"I love you too." Elliot smiled as Olivia curled back up to his chest and wrapped his arms lovingly around her. "I always have, and I always will." He added kissing her head again.

"Thank you." She whispered as she drifted back off to sleep in her fiancé's loving embrace. As she fell asleep all she could think about was the fact that this as the way it was going to be until the day she died. Nothing set her heart more at peace than that.

The End!
