A Quiet Morning
This is set in season 18 except that Olivia and Tucker are married.
The characters are not mine are by Dick Wolf.
Olivia woke up in the soft warmth of her bed, with a deafening headache, the events of the previous day immediately returned to her mind: a suspect had managed to knock her out by giving her a nice concussion, her team had insisted that she go to the hospital to get checked out even though she couldn't wait to get home to Noah and Ed.
"Morning, love," Ed told her softly, sitting down next to her on the bed.
Olivia tried to open her eyes, but the blinding light sent painful shocks to her head, she moaned in annoyance: she already had a horrible headache and now this damned light is on!
"Sorry," Ed said, standing up immediately to turn off the light, understanding her discomfort.
"How do you feel?" he asked getting back to bed and drawing his wife into a hug.
"Like someone was using a jackhammer in my head ... it wasn't even a construction site!" Olivia said sarcastically, making Ed laugh.
"What would you say if you rest for a while today while I take care of you?" it was more a statement than a question.
"No, I have to go to work"
"I have already warned Fin that you were not going today"
"I love you," Olivia said moving to kiss her husband, she moaned as new shocks of pain flooded her head.
"Don't worry, don't move," she said, pushing her gently onto her pillows.
Olivia snorted irritably, she was not at all used to being in bed with someone who takes care of her, she hated having to ask anyone for help with anything.
"Here, you'll feel better," Ed said, handing her a glass of water and a painkiller.
"Thank you ... you are the best husband in the world, I'm lucky to have you by my side" said the woman smiling.
"I'm the lucky one to have you as a wife" Ed said of her making her smile "I have Olivia Benson herself as a wife, the best cop in the world, the best fighter who ..."
"Ok, ok I understand ... how about we agree that we are both lucky and we go to wake Noah up and then have breakfast, because I don't know about you, but I'm starving" Olivia interrupted her husband.
"are you hungry! It's a good sign "
"I'm not hungry, I'm literally starving, if I don't eat something within the next twenty minutes I could become a cannibal and tear off one of your muscular arms to eat it!" the woman said emphatically.
"You have not lost the desire to make jokes, this is also a good sign!" Ed exclaimed, earning a nudge from his wife. "Okay, alright I'm going to make breakfast, I'll wake Noah up and then we can all three have breakfast."
"God, how much I love you!" Olivia exclaimed.
"Well I love you more," Ed said stealing a kiss from his wife before heading to the kitchen.
Olivia felt extremely lucky, she had the man of her dreams, a wonderful baby, in short, everything she ever wanted. Despite her headache, he was really happy to be able to spend a quiet day with her family.
