A/N: Here is yet another chapter! I think it's pretty humorous, but I guess you'll all have to tell me in reviews!

Your Place or Mine?

When Olivia woke up the next morning she was still in Elliot's warm arms. She snuggled closer into his chest wanting to remember how this felt forever. It wasn't until she heard someone clearing their throat that she opened her eyes.

When she saw Casey standing in front of the bed with her arms crossed in front of her chest and one of the largest grins Olivia had ever seen plastered on her face, Olivia shot up.

Her sudden movement made Elliot shoot up as well. "Uhh!" He cried out in pain.

Olivia just ignored him and stammered, "This… this isn't what it looks like. There's a good explanation for this."

"I'm sure it's not, and I'm sure there is." Casey simply smiled.

Olivia went to get out of the bed, but Casey stopped her. "Please, don't let me interrupt." She laughed.

She was taking so much joy in making her friends squirm. But what made her even happier was the fact that they had finally gotten their acts together and figured out how perfect they were for each other.

"I was just stopping by to see how Elliot was doing. But I can see he's doing just fine." She added with a grin.

"Oh we didn't… I mean we…" Olivia said before simply laughing. She was so flustered that she couldn't find the right words.

"What she's trying to say is that we just… I mean, we never…" Elliot tried, but also failed in finding the words to go with what his racing brain wanted him to say.

Casey just held her hand up to stop them. "I'm sure that nothing happened." She smiled "This is all just some big cosmic misunderstanding right?" She suggested. "I'm sure you two were just talking last night, and you fell asleep. Can't help how you roll once you're out." She smiled.

"Yes. Exactly." Both Elliot and Olivia answered almost in unison.

"I'm sure." Casey smiled once again. "Well, I better be going. Ben Masterson, the guy who kidnapped Anne, has his arraignment today, and I have some last minute papers to draw up. I'll see you two later."

"Bye Case." Olivia called.

"See ya later." Elliot answered.

Before Casey was fully out the door she turned quickly back to her friends and added a, "congratulations!" before scurrying away.

Olivia, still sitting in Elliot's bed, just turned to him and after staring silently for a moment simply said, "I told you we were gonna get caught."

"Yeah, but you said that Cragen, the doctors, or one of the guys were gonna catch us. You never said anything about Casey." He smirked. "Besides, it looks like she was more excited than we were about it." He added.

Olivia just shook her head and laughed. She pushed the covers off of her and climbed out of the bed.

"Besides, wasn't it worth it?" He questioned.

"It was more than worth it." Olivia answered as she bent low to give him a good morning kiss. "So, can I assume that I will be taking you home today?" She asked once they separated.

"We are anxious aren't we detective?" He joked.

Olivia threw a spare pillow at him. "You know what I mean!" She scolded.

"Hey, injured man over here!" He continued. "And I'd love to go home with you. As long as you don't mind having me." He grinned.

"Of course I don't. Even if we weren't… seeing each other… I would still have volunteered." She said, a little apprehensively. This whole dating Elliot thing was new to her.

"There is one favor I'm gonna have to ask you though." Elliot began, patting the space on the bed next to him.

Olivia walked over and sat on the covers, swinging her legs up so that they were stretched out in front of her. "And what would that be?" She asked as Elliot snaked his arms around her waist.

"This weekend was supposed to be my kids' weekend, and they sorta asked if it was still on." He informed her carefully. Sure having him sleep on the couch for a few days was one thing to ask, but for her to take in his entire family for the weekend was something entirely different.

"Are you trying to ask me if it's okay for your kids to spend the weekend at my place?" Olivia asked.

"Only if it's okay. If it's not, then I'm just sharing some useless information with you." He answered.

"You know I love your kids El. Of course their welcome to spend the weekend." She said with a smile. "However, I don't know how much they are going to enjoy it seeing as I only have a one bedroom." She added.

"Oh. Liv, that's right. I forgot. It's fine. I'm sure Kathy will switch weekends with me this once. I mean, it's not like I don't have a good excuse." Elliot offered. He was disappointed, but he couldn't put Olivia out like that.

"Now just hold on a minute." Olivia smiled. "The doctors never said that you couldn't stay in your apartment. Why don't I just stay there for a few days? That way you still have someone to look out for you, and your kids can visit comfortably." She suggested.

"You sure that's alright Liv? I mean, I don't want to kick you out of your apartment to watch my ass sit on a couch." He asked.

"Elliot, its fine. And it'll only be for a couple of days. I think I'll be able to manage." She smiled.

"You're the best Liv." Elliot smiled as he pulled her closer. "I'm so lucky to have you in my life."

"Don't talk too soon; you've never lived with me." She answered.

"Nah, I'm sure you'll be a great roomie." He argued.

"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you." She smiled before kissing him softly.

"As long as you keep doing that, I don't think I'll have much to complain about." He flirted.

Olivia just smiled before jerking her head to the door when there was a knock.

"Detective Stabler? It's Doctor Connor. I just need to check you out one last time before I can start getting the discharge papers together." He said into the room.

"Guess that means I'm out." Olivia noted as she jumped off the bed and quickly exited the room.

"I'll be done in about ten minutes." Jordan smiled.

'Thanks." Olivia answered before disappearing down the hall.
