Chapter 4

I'm in love with you

Elliot couldn't believe that he and Olivia were kissing. He had longed for this day, since he figured out he loved her. And when he was told she was dead he never knew that he could have the opportunity to kiss her sweet lips.

He ran his tongue over her bottom lip and tasted nothing but Olivia. He felt her smooth hair between his fingers and he loved every moment of it. He had his angel, his Olivia in his arms. And he was never letting her go. The ring of Elliot's phone broke them apart.

Elliot sighed deeply as he took his phone from his pocket. "Stabler. Yes sir. Sure, she's right here. I'll ask her." Elliot put his phone on his shoulder.

"Cragen wants to know if you want to start back at SVU on Monday when I come back from my vacation time." Olivia nodded with a smile.

"Yeah, I would love to finally have my job back." She said, still smiling. Elliot smiled and cleared his throat.

"Cragen I have to ask you. Well Olivia and I have decided to be involved with each other. And I know that you have been told on more than one occasion that we are too close. I was wondering if us being romantically involved will cause us to be not partners, or will it mean that one of us would have to transfer out?"

"Yes sir. Thank you." Elliot hung up and looked at a very shocked Olivia.

"What?" He asked with a smile at her shocked face. "You just told Cragen about us."

"Yeah. Its better if we do it now then wait. Besides Cragen said we can remain partners as long as we don't bring in our personal life into work."

Olivia smiled. Her life was finally perfect. She had an amazing job, an awesome new boyfriend which was the love of her life and that she was safe.

"Oh, and I have some time to spend with you. Cragen gave me some time off. And I think there are four kids that would love to see you. It is summer break after all. And I have to pick them all up in an hour."

Olivia nodded. "Of course, go El. I don't want to intrude on your time with your kids." Elliot shook his head. "You're not. You are a member of the family. Now you're going." Elliot said with a smile.

Olivia laughed and nodded. "Wait El. I have an idea." Elliot went to go pick up Maureen and Kathleen.

"Hey Daddy. Hey Dad."

"Hey my beautiful girls. Listen we are going to go to pick up Lizzie and Dickie and we are going to get ice cream."

"'Kay." They said.

Elliot drove to the twins' school and they headed to Dairy Queen for ice cream. "So, dad how have you been doing with everything? You know, with Olivia and everything?"

Elliot nodded. "I'm okay. It's been hard, but I'm better now." His kids nodded.

"Good dad. We have been very worried about you." Said Maureen. Yeah, we were very worried that you wouldn't get better." Said Kathleen. Elliot looked up and saw Olivia walk through the door.

"I'm sorry that I have worried you all with the way I've been acting lately. But I'm hoping this surprise will make up for the way I've been lately."

"Are we still going to Wildwood New Jersey? asked Dickie. Elliot laughed and nodded. "Oh yeah. That's tomorrow. But um I have another surprise."

"What dad, what?" asked his kids. Elliot looked at Olivia and she smiled. "Turn around." They did, and Maureen and Kathleen screamed as Lizzie started crying. They all got up and hugged Olivia. They all had tears in their eyes.

"Oh God Olivia! You're here! You're here! Dad she's here!" They all screamed. Elliot laughed as he saw his kids hug the woman he loved with everything he had.

"Guys. I think that Olivia would like to sit down." They all let go of Olivia and sat down.

Olivia sat by Elliot and he put his arm around her waist and pulled her to him. "So, Liv when did you come back?"

"This morning. I saw your father in the precinct. Cragen had him start his vacation time early and here we are." She said with a smile.

"So are you going with us to the beach?" asked Lizzie excitedly.

"I'm not sure yet." Olivia looked at Elliot and smiled. From outside a pair or green eyes were peering at the brunette in the window. He sneered at her.

"Hey. We've got a serious problem. The bitch is alive and kicking."

The day passed quickly and happily for Elliot, Olivia, and his kids. They went to the park and they went out to dinner and then they headed home.

"So, can Olivia play the Xbox with me?" asked Dickie with a smile. "Dickie, you need to get packed and ready to go in the morning. We have to wake up early and then get gas, get snacks for the ride, and then you guys can sleep."

Dickie rolled his eyes and then headed upstairs along with his sisters. "So, Ms. Benson are you coming with us?"

"I don't know. Do you want me to?" Elliot looked at her in disbelief. "What?" She asked, surprised by his face.

"Of course, I want you to come. We all want you to come." Olivia smiled. "We have a problem. I don't have a bathing suit and I barely have clothes."

"We can fix that. We can stop and get you some stuff on the way to the beach tomorrow. You're covered." Olivia smiled and blushed. "Yeah you're right."

When they put the kids to bed, Elliot walked out into the living room and looked at Olivia who was sleeping on the sofa. He smiled. He picked her up and carried her to the master bedroom and set her down.

"Liv. Come on you need to get changed so you can be comfortable." Olivia shifted slightly. "I'll be comfortable with just your arms around me." said Olivia half asleep. Elliot smiled and climbed in the bed with her. She snuggled into him and he wrapped his arms around her. They soon fell asleep.

Elliot woke up to the alarm, signaling that it was 7:30AM. He shut it off and looked at Olivia still sleeping. He smiled and easily slips out of the bed without waking her. He headed to the rooms to wake up his kids. He flicked on the light of each room.

"Come on guys. Get up, get dressed, and get your stuff. We have to get ready to go to Jersey."

"But dad if it only takes two hours then why do we have to get up so early?"

"We have some stops we have to make, and we may run into traffic." Elliot said to his son. They all slowly got up and Elliot headed back to the bedroom to wake Olivia. He turned on the light and saw her sleeping so soundly, she looked like a beautiful angel sleeping in his bed. He sat on the bed and kissed her head.

"Olivia, come on baby. You need to get up. We have to get ready for the drive to Jersey." Olivia slowly woke and got ready. Then they all made it to the car.

"Okay now does everyone have their stuff?"

"Yes dad. We have everything." Said Maureen.

"Okay let's pack everything up and get rolling." They packed everything and then they were off. Shortly after getting snacks for the road, the kids fell back asleep. Elliot looked over at Olivia.

"Liv. You look tired. Why don't you sleep for a bit? No, I'm fine. I'd rather stay awake. Really I'm fine."

"Okay." They drove on.

I am sorry for the delay, my laptop got wiped and I lost all of my chapters, I had this whole story done and then it got wiped. Again so sorry, leave a review if you'd like. Thanks! Again so sorry!
