Chapter 11

FINISHING TWENTY-FIVE ACTS, MENTIONING ACCEPTABLE LOSS, MANHATTAN VIGIL, FRIENDING EMILY, VANITY'S BONFIRE, LESSONS LEARNED, DREAMS DEFERRED. ENDS WITH PRESUMED GUILTY.

After three long days the jury found the rapist guilty. Barba won his first case and was there to stay. The squad was glad to have a stable ADA now to help with the cases. Fin was the first to speak up, "Hey let's all head out for a celebration. I'm buying the first round." The entire squad went out for a drink and dinner.

Amanda and Olivia headed home. They hadn't been back to Amanda's place since she told Liv what happened to her in Atlanta. It was time to let it go any way. They also hadn't talked about it again. Olivia was glad she did tell her and unless she saw any other signs she wasn't going to make Amanda go to counseling, but she was hoping talking was enough.

Months went by and they were busy with all sorts of cases, busting a sex trafficking ring, looking for a kidnapped boy, which even brought back a case from Olivia's past, a young girl who disappeared at a college party, and a kidnapping of a baby which turned in a custody battle. They were so busy, that Munch was still on and decided to postpone his retirement indefinitely.

Olivia and Amanda were relaxing in bed watching TV, "It's nice having the whole weekend off with you Liv. I really enjoyed hanging out in the park today." Olivia agreed and a phone started ringing, "Oh great." It was Kim, her sister, "No Kim. Absolutely not and if you come you can't stay with me." Olivia listened, she knew Amanda didn't talk to her family. "Liv I swear my family are like leeches." Olivia knew the feeling and the family issue was bad with her as well. She told Amanda, "Hey we have each other."

Amanda turned around and sat in Olivia's lap, so they were facing each other. They had fooled around, but nothing below the belt. They were kissing, pretty heavy, when Amanda pulled her T-shirt off showing her breasts. "No sports bra tonight?" Amanda smiled, "Nope." Liv pushed Amanda down on her back and continued kissing her and moving her hands all over her firm stomach and chest.

While Olivia was kissing her, she moved her finger dragging it from the middle of her chest down stopping under her belly button. She stopped kissing her and looked in her eyes. Olivia was looking for anything that was telling her to stop, but didn't see it.

She moved her hand in the front of her waistband, "Amanda are you ok with this." Amanda was breathing harder and faster as Olivia's hand went further in her panties. "You're wet." Amanda threw her head back as Olivia moved her fingers through her wet folds. She circled her fingers around her entrance but didn't insert them, "Holy shit Liv." She moved her thumb pressing on her clit and Amanda screamed, "Oh God!" Olivia kept doing it and hovered over her face, "Do you want me to stop?"

Amanda was breathing so hard she couldn't talk, so she shook her head no. "Communicate Amanda." Amanda was close, she never knew it could feel this good, "No...don't…stop." It only took a few more rubs and one little flick and Amanda came all over Olivia's hand and in her panties.

Olivia smiled, "Did you like that?" Amanda just looked at her like she was crazy, "How the hell did you know that would feel so good?" Olivia laughed, "Baby you really should explore your own body." She kissed her in the lips, "Come on we need another shower." They showered together and climbed into bed to sleep. This was Amanda's favorite part of the day, when Olivia held her in her arms.

More time passed and so did the cases. Olivia and Barba teamed up going after a big time private school to expose rape of minors. Olivia had been in SVU for a long time, in a matter of months two old cases came up again. This time was a prostitute named Jeannie, that Liv tried to help years ago. She would help trap one of her regulars who was on a killing spree. Olivia was happy at the end of that case, because Jeannie finally turned her life around.

It was almost Christmas, but that didn't stop the cases. Crime didn't care about the holidays. Amanda was worried she had the ultimate Christmas gift for Liv, because she had changed her life and she was in love. "Fin, all these cases are killing me. I asked Cragen for time off, but we are slammed." Fin smiled, "Amanda, no one has ever swept Liv off her feet and taken her anywhere. This is her whole life, and it shouldn't be. You have time and it's a great surprise. We will be fine."

Cragen came out, "A priest was assaulted outside of the church. Let's get on this." The suspect was Fin's ex brother-in-law. He had been trouble before but swore he turned his life around, "Fin I was trying to help. I stopped the dudes who were beating him." It was supposed to be his first Christmas home instead of jail.

The squad worked to make sure he was out and caught the real guys. While looking into the case, the found out that the Monsignor was raping girls. Fin took his ex brother-in-law home for Christmas. Nick stood up after Cragen gave the order to arrest him. "I've got it Liv, someone's outside for you." He smiled and walked out. Olivia put on her coat, "Merry Christmas, Captain." He waved to her smiling, "Enjoy it Liv."

Olivia walked out of the precinct to find Amanda standing in front of a cab. "I was wondering where you were." She went to kiss her, but Amanda put two plane tickets in her face. "Merry Christmas Liv!" Olivia looked at the tickets, "Oh my gosh Amanda, the Bahamas!" Olivia was so happy and Amanda said, "Come on we have to go now. I've already packed for you." The two of them headed to the airport and sat in first class holding hands.

They arrived at the resort, Amanda owed this to Olivia. They walked in the room and Olivia immediately pushed her on the bed, "I owe you a thank you." Amanda flipped Olivia and she yelled in surprise, "You are not in charge on this trip. Stay still or I will have to spank you."

Amanda giggled as she unbuttoned Olivia's shirt and opened her bra. She pulled her pants and panties off in one swift motion. She kissed the inside of Olivia's thighs and finally made her way to Olivia's entrance. "Oh my God Amanda!" Olivia moved her hands through Amanda's long blonde hair. Amanda licked and sucked her folds, "You taste good."

Olivia couldn't move, because Amanda was holding her right where she wanted her. When Amanda dipped her tongue in, Olivia rose of the bed. Amanda inserted one finger pushing it in and pulling it out causing Olivia to scream her name. Then she inserted another and Olivia came. Once Olivia came back to earth, she returned the favor in a big way. They fell asleep naked and jet lagged, until morning came.

They had an amazing week, warm weather, no cases, and plenty of activities. They went to the beach, canoeing, scuba diving, and to the pool. The last day was spent, shopping, a trip to the spa, and dancing the night away on the beach nightclub. "I'm so jealous Liv." Olivia smacked her ass, "I told you I don't do jealousy." Amanda smacked her ass right back, "I told you I was in charge this trip. I'm jealous because you tan and I just burn. You look great and I look like a beet."

Amanda stuck her tongue out. Olivia smiled, "Well I'm jealous of that tongue and the things it does to me." Olivia looked at her clothes spread out, "I really need to pack. You are ready to go." Olivia turned around and started folding her stuff, She finally opened her empty suitcase and saw a red box in the bottom. She picked it up and opened it. "Amanda what is…" When Olivia turned around, Amanda was on one knee, "Olivia I love you. I love you more than I've loved anyone else. You saved me Olivia. You saved me from myself. Will you marry me?" Olivia picked Amanda up from her knee, "Yes baby! I will marry you!" They made love all night long.
