A Law & Order: SVU FanFiction

Author: itsamandything

A/N: so I've gotten reviews and dms asking me to continue. So here you go.

One month later:

Elliot walked into the 16th precinct. His first day as acting Captain and his first day leaving Olivia. He'd left her at her therapists office before coming in knowing she'd come here afterwards. He made polite conversation on the elevator ride upstairs to the squad room.

His squad room. How had this even happened?His official promotion ceremony was next month. He took a deep breath before walking into the squad room. Business as usual. Good. He saw Fin sitting at his desk with Amanda Rollins. Nick Amaro was at his regular desk and Liv's was empty. Hopefully for not much longer.

With his coffee in his hand he walked into his office. It wasn't how he'd left it the night before. He saw picture frames on his desk, a space for his son in the corner complete with his favorite distractions. He saw a familiar blanket on the couch along with a pillow in a familiar pillowcase.

He smirked.

He turned to look into the window of the interrogation room and Olivia was there, sitting on the table. He shut his office door then went into the box. "Sneaky much?" He asked setting his coffee on the table. She immediately grabbed it and drank some.

"Problem?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"How did you beat me here?" He asked stepping in between her legs and placing hands on her thighs.

"I have co-conspirators." She said raising an eyebrow. "You like your office?"

"Just tell me you didn't skip therapy?" He asked her and she shook her head.

"Are you going to answer the question?"

"I didn't realize I was under oath here." He said leaning into her. "I love it Liv." He said leaning in and kissing her softly. "Come on. If we start this we are going to end it in here and as many times as I've fantasized about us in this room, it's not happening on my first day back." He groaned.

"You know when I come back we won't have this much alone time." She pointed out in a soft voice.

Elliot groaned. "You're going to be the death of me woman. I promised you tonight. I've waiting almost 15 years I can wait a few more hours." He said with a shaky voice.

"You don't sound to sure of that." She smirked wrapping her legs around him and pulling him closer to her. Her arms wrapping around his neck.

"Liv you just got the all clear this morning." He reminded her. "When did I become the sensible one?" He asked leaning in to kiss her.

"I kinda like this role reversal."

"Liv, tonight. You and me. It'll be worth it." He said and the grinned.

"I know. But something did come in for you." She said. She pulled out the small black box. "I figured it was time." She said as he opened it to reveal a platinum band. "My badge number is on the inside."

"Thank you." He said to her. She slipped it on his finger. He brushed against her left hand feeling the simple platinum diamond band he'd placed there almost a month ago.

"I can't believe we backpedaled this." He said to her.

"It would've happened anyways. Maybe not this quick but it was definitely in the cards for us." She told him. She moved her legs from around his waist and jumped off the table leading him into his office. "I figured I'd hang out here and study for my exam. I take it tomorrow." She sad sitting on the couch.

"You can take as much time as you want. There's no rush."

"I know. But I want to be back. I'm ready. My nightmares are under control. I'm sleeping more sound. The ptsd is definitely under control. Much more so than what happened in Sealview. I promise I'm not rushing. I did that last time and it wasn't the best decision." She told him.

"Okay." He relinquished. He opened his laptop and logged into the system checking emails while she made herself comfortable on the couch with her sergeants training manual.

They worked in a companionable silence for a while and Olivia dozed off her study guide against her chest, when there was a knock on the door. Elliot looked up from his computer screen to find Fin and Munch blocking his doorway. "We got a call. Vic is at Mercy. 17 raped and left for dead. She's in surgery. There's a crisis counselor at the hospital we thought we'd head to the scene." Munch told him.

"All right. Keep me posted." He told them. Have Rollins go to the hospital and wait for news from the surgeon." He added.

"How is she?" Fin asked.

"She's good. She wants to come back soon. She's ready." He said and they both gave him a pointed look. "Just because she and I finally crossed over doesn't mean I would let her come back before she was ready. She was cleared this morning by the doctor. She's seeing the shrink to get cleared tomorrow and she's going to an outside therapist. She's okay."

"Good. We'll call when we find out what CSU has at the scene." Munch said and they left.

When he walked in the door to his apartment he couldn't believe the smells coming from the kitchen. Olivia was standing at the counter in one of his work shirts with the sleeves rolled up and leggings. She was tossing a salad. He looked at the table and saw that it was set. "Pasta is done. Sauce is almost ready." She told him. She turned to get the garlic bread out of the oven.

He set his keys, phone, and gun on the table by the door and his briefcase on the floor. He came up behind her placing his hands around her waist, pulling her up and turning her around to face him. "Hey." He said softly. He leaned in to kiss her and she wrapped her hands around his neck.

"Dinners almost done." She whispered.

"We have an oven for a reason." He smirked. Elliot led her to the bedroom. Once they were inside he let her slide off his jacket and loosen his tie. "Did I ever tell you how good you look in my clothes?" He asked her leaning in and kissing her again. Elliot unbuttoned the shirt and slid it off of her shoulders kissing down her neck and the top of her chest.

Olivia's fingers worked his buttons and she slipped his shirt off then reached down to his belt buckle. When that was out of the way she unbuttoned his pants and unzipped them, sliding them down while her back arched as his lips and tongue caressed her breasts. Elliot reached into the band of her leggings and grabbed her panties sliding them both down at the same time and he dropped to his knees sliding them the rest of the way down and she stepped out of them.

Olivia fell backwards onto the bed while he stepped out of his pants and socks. He knelt down and leaned into her and peppered kisses on her stomach. He worked his way up her torso while her hands played with his short cropped hair.

Elliot took one nipple in his mouth, rolling it with his tongue while his fingers pinched the other. He placed sloppy kisses on the valley in between her breasts then lavished attention on the other nipple. Olivia felt that familiar pull and felt herself falling off a cliff as her orgasm ripped through her. "Did you just?" He asked as she came down.

"No ones ever done that before." She panted and he smirked. "Your ego just got bigger didn't it?" She asked him and he smiled before kissing her again. She reached between them and started stroking his election through his briefs. "I used to dream about this but after the Bushido case feeling you that night my dreams got more intense." She revealed.

"You have no idea." He told her. She slipped off his briefs and opened her legs wider for him. She took a deep breath and felt the panic rising. She flipped them and she straddled his hips. "You're gonna kill me." He said and she smirked. She guided him to her entrance and sank down on him.

Olivia placed her hands on his chest as she rode him. One of his hands grasped a breast while the other toyed with her clit. She clenched around his length, their pelvises grinding together. She leaned down her breasts pressed against his chest and kissed him. "Fucking hell." She moaned against his lips. His moans were turning into labored breaths.

He continued his thrusts into her and felt himself getting ready to release. He gently flipped them and she wrapped her legs around his waist, as he pounded into her. Olivia's nails raked down his back and she fell of the cliff again screaming his name. "Liv," he called out. He met her lips again as her walls clenched while she orgasmed calling his name.

Elliot continued to thrust into her as she rode out her orgasm. "That all you got?" He smirked against her lips and he played with her clit again, teasing the little bundle of nerves. "Come on Liv. Give it up." He said and her walls clenched again. One more thrust did them both in and they came shouting each others names.

He held his weight off of her and he turned them onto their sides, legs intertwining so he wasn't lying on top of her. "Jesus Christ." He panted. "Why'd we wait?" He mused.

"In general or this morning?" She retorted and he pulled her in for a kiss. "El," she called.

"Yeah?"

"I'm sorry."

"For what?" He asked pushing stray hairs out of her face.

"I started to panic when you were on top of me at first." She admitted.

"Liv I told you whatever you're comfortable with. If you need to start on top then that's what we will do." He reassured her. "I'm not going to complain. The view was breathtaking." He said with a shit eating grin.

"Jackass." She said rolling her eyes at him. "How was the rest of your day?" She asked him.

"It was good. Had a 17 year old Vic. Caught the perp within a couple hours of the attack and Fin and Amaro went a few rounds in the box. They were still working on him when I left. Idiot didn't lawyer up."

"What'd you think of Nick?" She asked him.

"He's pretty good. I'm doing the rest of this week with him then then next week with Rollins. Just to get my bearings with them."

"El, Nick has a temper. So just remember that. He reminds me a lot of you sometimes. He loves to use his fists to prove a point."

"Oh great." He groaned.

"You'll get along." She said as he finally pulled out of her and rolled onto his back and slipped out of the bed reaching down to pull on his briefs and a pair of grey sweatpants. He handed her his Marine Corps shirt and she slipped it on. "I expected you to wait until after dinner." She told him changing the subject.

"I said tonight this morning and it's tonight now. I don't have a whole lot of patience Liv. Especially when it comes to you." He said and crawled back into bed. He lied down on his back and she curled into his side, her head resting on his chest. "Liv that was amazing."

"I can't believe we waited this long to do that."

"Were you just trying to boost my ego before?" He asked her.

"No. No one has ever put me first El let alone made me orgasm just from nipple stimulation. Don't let this next part go to your head but I've never had multiple orgasms with anyone. Ever."

"Really?" He asked her.

"Really." She told him. "Now I don't normally cook so let's eat before dinner spoils." She told him and kissed him on the lips before moving to get off the bed. She got to the edge before he pulled her back down and she shrieked.

"I love you." He said softly kissing her.

"I love you too." She said when they parted.

Elliot got out of bed and walked into the kitchen and grabbed the garlic bread and dished up some of the pasta, ladling some of the Alfredo sauce onto it. He reached into the cabinet and grabbed a couple of wine glasses by the stem. He tucked a bottle of wine under his arm then grabbed two forks and the corkscrew. Once he had ahold of everything he made his way back into the bedroom.

"Dinner in bed?" Olivia asked raising an eyebrow as he came in and she grabbed the bread and bowl from his hands. He sat the wine glasses and utensils down then crawled in next to Olivia.

"Might as well enjoy it. Eli will be here this weekend." He reminded her uncorking the wine, pouring and handing her a glass.

"I'm looking forward to it." She told him. "It's been so long."

"I know. He knows who you are Liv. There's a picture in his room from the day he was born. His siblings and his mom and I all tell him about you saving him."

"Really?"

"Yes. You're a superhero to him."

"What about the twins?" She asked taking a sip of wine.

"They haven't decided yet. Maybe Saturday. Dick has a game and Lizzie has a sleepover." He shrugged. He leaned in to kiss Olivia when her phone rang.

"Benson. Oh hold on." She said and handed her phone to Elliot.

"Stabler. Fuck. How long?" He asked then hung the phone up. "Get presentable. Tucker is on his way here with Barba. He said jumping out of bed and throwing on a shirt.

Olivia followed suit and pulled on her discarded leggings and threw on a bra and one of Elliot's NYPD shirts she'd been sleeping in. "What do they want?" She asked him.

"Munch wouldn't say. Hey we got this. We're good. Nothings going to happen Melinda made sure of it so did Nick and Amanda." He told her. "I love you." He said kissing her softly. A few moments later there was a knock on the door. Olivia pulled her hair up in a messy bun while Elliot opened the door.

"Stabler." Tucker said and Elliot moved aside and let them in. He shook the ADA's hand as well as Tuckers. "Where is your partner?" He asked looking around.

"Right here." She said coming into the room.

"You're clear detective. The doctors side with reasonable force. We both wanted to tell you in person." Barba said to them. "Lewis is remanded at Rikers until trial. He's whining about a deal. He wants to plea to two counts of rape and one count of manslaughter and he wants to allocate in open court." He explained.

"Multiple counts of rape? I only witnessed one. Why is he saying multiple?" She asked. She felt the panic seeping in again.

"He is insisting he raped you. He says he doesn't want to humiliate you at trial." Tucker added.

"Well he can. No. Don't do this Barba. Please. He doesn't get to win. He doesn't get to stand up in open court and say he raped me. I'm sorry it's not happening. No. Just no." She said before running into the bedroom and slamming the door.

"He didn't do it. Barba you know he didn't." Elliot pleaded. "She's been fine. She's seeing a counselor. She's not pushing herself. Don't let Lewis win this." Elliot pleaded.

"Stabler his counsel is going to push for separate trials even though his little spree started here in the city. They're going to play dirty. They're going to say that Olivia used excessive force. Now IAB has cleared her which is great. But they're going to put her on that stand and ask her why so many blows. Why shatter both kneecaps. They're going to break her." Barba said.

"You don't know her that well then. If she lets him do this it will destroy her. She will never be able to work again. She will never be able to connect with another victim. I don't know if you know this or not but her mother was raped. Liv's father is a rapist. She feels the need to crusade for the victim and she's accepting the fact that she had a couple of close calls. But she draws on the fact that they were just close calls. If he stands up in open court and pleaded guilty to raping her, she'll never recover." He pleaded. "Don't give him that power."

"When was her other close call?" Barba asked.

"Almost four years ago. She went undercover in Sealview to catch a guard that was raping prisoners. Fin was her backup. He got there just in time. It was very close and she pushed it aside and it ate away at her. Harris is in prison for false imprisonment, rape and attempted rape. I'm telling you if you take this deal Liv won't be the same. I know her better than anyone. I've loved her for over a decade. She saved my youngest sons life. My daughters future. Please." He begged.

"I didn't know about that UC op." Tucker told him.

"Yeah. It was hell and not just on her. Don't even think of asking me to talk her into this. I won't." Elliot told them.

"I'll let his council know." Barba said. "I'm gonna give her some space just uh tell her to call me when she's ready." He added.

"I will. Thank you for all your help Barba."

"Have you looked into getting another detective since it seems Benson will be coming back as a sergeant?" Tucker asked.

"Yeah. Someone from Staten Island SVU will be coming in the morning. I think his name is Carisi." Elliot explained.

"Good. I don't like the idea of you and Benson being married and continuing in the same unit but I've gone over the reports, case records and the psych evaluation that Cragen ordered. The shrink was right SVU would lose its two best people. I'm giving you a leash here Stabler but not a long one. If anything hinky happens between you two that's it. Are we clear?" Tucker said sternly.

"Got it." Elliot said. He watched as they let themselves out.

Elliot cursed then walked into the bedroom to find Olivia curled in the bed. "Barba is turning the deal down. I talked to him."

"El, what if the memory loss isn't permanent and we throw this deal away and by the trial he remembers you were there?" She asked drying her eyes.

"We will handle it. Tucker cleared you. Honestly I don't think anyone is going to question your statement Liv. Not with what happened. I can almost guarantee that a jury will see right through that. Not when Tucker is called as a witness to explain why you were cleared."

"I never should've called you that day." She exasperatedly.

"Don't say that Liv. It doesn't matter anymore. I've got you and I'm not letting go no matter what. I promise you. The squad has our backs. I seem to remember you helping cover my ass a while ago."

"It wasn't just me." She said.

"I know. But it doesn't matter. This isn't a habit. You could've been killed Liv. Fight or flight. You fought. There's nothing wrong with that. I'll be there everyday of the trial when it happens. I promise you." He said softly pulling her close to him. "I got you Liv. Always." He murmured kissing her hair softly. "I got you something." He told her. He reached over to the nightstand and grabbed a ring box. "I found this and it reminded me of you. About our partnership and our paths crossing." He said and opened the box to reveal a platinum and diamond cross cross ring.

"I love it."

"I was going to give it to you after you got your exam results but I uh decided that tonight was better." He explained and slipped it onto her right middle finger. "So I was thinking that when you get your exam results we should celebrate."

"With what?" She said pushing him back on the bed and straddling him.

"Maybe getting matching tattoos." He smirked as she leaned down to kiss him.

Olivia walked into the 1-6 with a grin. She let herself into Elliot's office and smirked when she saw him grilling a perp in the box. She was looking forward to grilling perps with him again. Her exam had went well. She'd know more in a few hours.

She was a little worried he and Nick were going hard and she knew what would happen. She saw the veins pop out on Elliot's neck and she groaned. She went to the door and opened it. "Break it up. Captain I need to borrow you." Olivia said and Elliot looked up and followed her through his office and into the other interrogation room.

"Have you lost it?" He yelled at her.

"Have you?" She shot back. "Not even two days in and you're about to snap his neck or worse." She yelled. "I warned you that you and Nick would play off of one another with the rage. Now please don't give Tucker a reason to come down here." She added.

He looked at her and threw caution to the wind. He pulled her close and slammed his lips onto hers. They broke apart a few minutes later chests heaving. "Should've done that after Gitano. It would've solved all our problems." He murmured kissing the crown of her head.

"Probably." She responded.

"How'd it go?" He asked as they walked into his office.

"I passed. Not sure with what score though."

"Knew it." He smirked. "I guess it's time to decide what we're getting." He added. "Unless you changed your mind."

"Nope. It's not like I don't have any."

"Great." He said pulling her in for a kiss. He groaned when there was a knock on the door. "Yeah." He said as they pulled apart and Olivia took a seat on the couch.

"Captain Stabler? I'm Dominic Carisi. Everyone calls me Sonny." He said holing out his hand.

"Great. Uh this is Sergeant Benson. My soon to be number two." He said and Olivia held out her hand after she got off the couch.

"I've heard rumors of you two in the other SVU precincts." He said. "I didn't realize you were back to work yet?"

"Almost. I have a few more hoops to jump through." She said glaring at Elliot. "Sort of." When he gave her a stern look.

"Don't mind her." Elliot said shaking his head.

"I'll move my things to a new desk and uh Fin can have mine. I'm thinking let him partner with Rollins." She said in a low voice and Elliot raised an eyebrow. "Trust me on this." She said to him. "Now go deliver the news." She said pushing him gently.

Olivia walked out of the office and packed her desk up. She placed her box on the side of his desk and sat down at his desk checking her emails on her phone. She watched Nick lead the perp to the holding cell. The phone rang and she answered it. "Captain Stabler's office, SVU." She said. "Hey Katie. He just stepped out what's wrong? Okay calm down. Did you call campus security? I get it. What the dorm name?" She asked and picked up a pen. "Got it. I'll get someone down there soon." She promised the girl. "I'm not back on duty just yet but I promise I'll send someone." Olivia said and hung up the phone.

She walked out of the office and saw Elliot talking to Rollins and Carisi. "Hey Katie called. A student in her dorm was raped last night. Katie refuses to call campus security. Here's the address," she said handing it to Elliot.

"Why no campus security?" Carisi asked.

"It's been our experience campus security pressures the girls into not pressing charges. Katie is a victims advocate on Hudson's campus. She's a grad student." Elliot said. "Rollins take your new partner on this one. If it happens to involve Tau Omega call me ASAP." He said and Amanda took the piece of paper from him and she grabbed her jacket and headed to the elevator with Carisi in tow.

"She wanted me to take the call." Olivia said.

"I'm surprised you didn't."

"Nope. Not pissing Tucker off." She said shaking her head.

"Good to know." He replied. "You don't have to hang around here you know." He reminded her.

"How many nights did you stay at work and do paperwork or come to my place to watch a game instead of going home?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Fine." He grumbled and pecked her on the lips. "Are you sure you want to do drinks with everyone tonight to celebrate?" He asked her.

"Absolutely. It'll be nice to be around everyone again. I mean I know we did something small at the house but this will be good for all of us. If I feel uneasy I promise I'll tell you." She said reassuringly.

"On another note let's go grab a quick nap." He said leading her into his office. "It's nice not to have to be in the cribs isn't it?" He asked lying down and pulling her to lie on top of him. Olivia closed her eyes and a few minutes later fell asleep to the sound of Elliot's breathing and feeling his heartbeat.
