Sorry for the long delay between Chapters I have been really busy at work.
This is a total fluffy and cute family chapter, but also a bit of EO naughtiness of course.
Chapter 12
Present day
Olivia sat on the small embankment sipping on her cup of coffee. She scanned the lake and saw Richie, Mickey and Lizzie out on the lake in the boat. Kathleen and Maureen were lying on their towels in the sun down on the small beach area by the water. Her eyes finally settled back on Elliot and Eli on the small jetty. They both had the exact same swim shorts on which Eli had insisted on. Eli had asked Elliot that morning to teach him how to dive into the water. But now they were stood there on the edge of the jetty Eli seemed to be having second thoughts.
"You okay?" asked Abby sitting down next to her.
"Never better," she smiled without taking her eyes off Elliot and his son.
"He gone in yet?" asked Abby as Elliot crouched down in front of Elliot and talked to him. They could see Eli shaking his head and Elliot nodded before sitting down on the jetty his legs hanging over the edge and his feet in the water. Eli sat down next to him and they both splashed their feet in the water. Elliot put his arm around Eli's small shoulders and pulled him close to him as Eli rested his head on his dads shoulder.
Olivia put her coffee down and picked up the camera and zoomed in on them taking a photo.
"Not yet, but he will," she said picking up her coffee again. "You not going for a swim?" she asked Abby.
"Maybe later," she said. "It's nice to just sit and relax; I don't normally get the chance to."
Olivia nodded as they both sat in silence.
"So you decided on what you're both going to do now Elliot has requested no oversea missions and you're going to hand your papers in."
"Honestly, I just want it to be us for just now. Take some time out and just have some time for us. I think after the last few years we deserve that."
"Yeah you do," said Abby resting her head on Olivia's shoulder as they both watched Elliot and Eli just sitting on the jetty. "You know Eli told me he felt stupid cause he was the only one who didn't know how to dive. And that he didn't want to look stupid in front of everyone else when he was learning. Poor kid is scared he won't be able to do it."
"He did?"
"Yeah. I bet if he thought someone else couldn't do it he would feel a lot better," she grinned.
"That's what you think huh?"
Abby nodded against her shoulder. "Yeah. If someone he looked up to, someone who in his eyes was his hero for saving him," she grinned looking up at Olivia.
"Not very subtle Abs," she laughed. "So you think if I go down there and do a few belly flops and probably hurting myself, Eli will do it as well."
"It can't hurt to give it try. He really wants to do it and feels stupid cause he cant." Olivia watched as Elliot pointed to the water and done the actions of diving in with his hands. Eli shook his head before dropping it down and looking at his feet in the water.
"He looks up to you Liv."
"Shit," she said standing up.
"Your gonna do it."
"Yeah, but just so you know. I won't be pretending. I have never learnt how to dive," she said walking over to her tent to get changed into her swim suit.

"Hey, how are my two favourite guy's doin?" asked Olivia walking down the jetty towards Elliot and Eli who were still sat looking out at the lake.
"We are doin okay," said Elliot turning around to look at Olivia. His mouth dropping open as she stood beside him in her swim suit. "And doin even better now," he grinned at her as his eyes roamed over body.
"Have you started the diving lesson yet?" she asked them.
"Not exactly," said Elliot.
"Well that's great," smiled Olivia walking past Elliot and sitting down next to Eli. "Because," she said nudging Eli with her shoulder. "I was hoping I could join in and learn how to dive as well."
Eli turned his head and looked at her. "You don't know how to dive," he said scrunching up his face as he spoke.
"Nope, I have always been too scared to learn. But when I heard your Dad was going to teach you I figured now was a good time. If you're brave enough then I should be as well."
"You're scared to learn, why?"
Olivia leaned in to him and whispered but making sure it was loud enough for Elliot to hear. "I'm scared to go under water."
"You are?"
"Yeah," she nodded looking at Elliot who was smiling.
Eli looked at Elliot who quickly looked in the other direction pretending he hadn't heard Olivia. He turned back to Olivia and leant up to her ear.
"That's what I'm scared of as well, and in case it hurts when you hit the water."
Olivia nodded "Well what do you say we learn together, and if I get scared you can hold my hand, and if you get scared I will hold yours."
Eli nodded and turned back to Elliot. "Erm Dad, do you think we could try again and you could teach Olivia as well?" he asked him.
"Sure buddy," he smiled. "We can start off slowly and just get used to going under water first, how does that sound."
Eli looked at Olivia and shrugged. "Livia what do you think?"
"I think that sounds like a good plan. We have all week to learn right."
Eli nodded and turned back to Elliot. "Okay dad we are both in," he grinned and Elliot smiled back at him.
"Well why don't you run up to the tents and get the waterproof sun cream first and I will put some on you before we go into the water."
Eli nodded and jumped up "Be right back!" he yelled running off.
Elliot shuffled along and sat next to Olivia and took hold of her hand. "Thank you," he said to her.
"What for?"
"Pretending you couldn't dive. No matter what I said to him he wasn't going to learn how to dive. I mean I know he wants to do it, he just couldn't get over his fear."
"Yeah well we are all scared to take that final leap at some point in our lives, but it's worth it in the end," she looking at their joined hands and her engagement ring sparkling in the sun.
"Yeah I guess we do," he said squeezing her hand and running his finger over the ring. "But can you honestly tell me you can be bothered pretending you can't dive all week."
"Got it Dad!" yelled Eli running back to them. Olivia stood up and stood behind Elliot resting her hands on his shoulders and bent down to whisper in his ear as Eli got close to them.
"I wasn't lying baby," she said kissing his cheek. "I really can't dive," she said before pushing against his back.
"What the he….." he yelled before he hit the water as he fell in.
"Ooops," laughed Olivia to Eli who was stood grinning as Elliot resurfaced coughing and spluttering.
"You are so going to pay for that Benson!" he yelled as Olivia took Eli's hand and they walked down the jetty towards the small beach area.
"Come on kiddo," she said to him. "Think we need to walk in from the beach, don't you?"
"Yeah," he smiled up at her as Elliot shook his head and watched them walking away.

3 months ago
Olivia sat by herself and sipped at her glass of wine as she looked around the restaurant. The place was full of police officers past and present who had served with Cragen. They had all come to wish him luck in his retirement.
Olivia had spent the last three weeks shadowing Cragen as he showed her the ropes so she would be ready to step in when he left. She was told it probably wouldn't be permanent just until they found someone else to fill the post. Olivia was happy with this as she didn't like the idea of sitting behind a desk all the time, plus the paperwork was a nightmare.
She had also finally found a new apartment to move into. She had finally gone for a meal with Brian and told him it was over. She had thought she would find it hard to do but she hadn't. Brian had got angry at first, then he had begged her not to do this. When she told him she had to because she didn't love him he had got angry again. He had yelled at her and the whole restaurant went quiet and looked at them as Brian stood up and rested on the table glaring at her.
"Well maybe if you weren't fucking your ex-partner, we might have had a chance," he growled at her.
Olivia had heard the gasp from people at the surrounding tables. She stood up and copied Brian resting her hands on the table glaring at him.
"And maybe if you hadn't screwed a prostitute whilst I listened in we may have had a chance as well. Maybe if you weren't always drunk and stayed in every now and then we may have had a chance. And as for fucking my ex-partner, I haven't. But believe me I have wanted to."
"You go girl," yelled a woman from a nearby table.
"Yeah dump his cheating ass," said another woman.
"You're definitely too good for him," said the man with the first woman.
Brian turned and glared at them "Fuck you, Ya prick," he snapped at the man.
The man stood up and faced Brian. "From what I just heard I aint your type," laughed the man. Brian stepped towards him.
"You touch him Brian and I will arrest you," warned Olivia. Brian stopped and turned to her, then looked back at the man.
"Fuck this," he said picking up his drink and downing it before slamming the glass down on the table. "I'm out of here," he said walking away.
Olivia let out the breath she was holding and sat back down in her chair and picked up her glass of wine and took a large drink of it.
"Honey," said the woman next to her. "You're better off without him."
Olivia smiled at her. "Yeah I am," she agreed before she left some money on the table and left the restaurant.
The following morning Brian had called to apologise to her. He told her he was taking an undercover job so he would be away for a while. She hadn't seen or heard from him since and she hadn't told anyone of their split. She didn't want all the questions she would get on top of everything else that was going on.
"Penny for them?" asked Cragen sitting down next to her.
Olivia smiled at him. "Trust me you wouldn't want to know."
Cragen took hold of her hand "You're gonna be okay Liv," he told her. "I wouldn't have put you forward for the job if I didn't think you could handle it."
"It's not that," she told him. "It's just… it's just me and Fin now, things have changed so much since I first started."
Cragen squeezed her hand. "I know sweetheart….. I know," he said keeping hold of her hand as they sat in silence.
"Would you mind if I left?" she asked him. "I don't think I can handle saying goodbye with everyone else."
"Sure, come on I will walk you out," he said standing up and leading her to the door and outside. He pulled her to him and hugged her tightly. "I don't go on vacation for a couple of weeks, so if you need anything just call," he told her.
"I will," she said as the tears started to flow and she hugged him back. "I'm gonna miss you so much."
Cragen smiled "I'm sure that will pass," he told her as a cab pulled up beside them. "You going to be okay."
"Yeah," she nodded before kissing his cheek. "Have a great vacation," she told him before climbing in the car. Cragen closed the door and Olivia waved as the car pulled away. He sighed as he watched the taxi disappear down the street before he went back inside the restaurant.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"Excuse me Miss," said the taxi driver. "You're here."
Olivia opened her eyes "Erm right, err thanks," she said blinking her eyes. She couldn't believe she had fallen asleep. She reached forward and handed him some money before climbing out the taxi and turning towards her apartment, and her heart began racing .
"Elliot."
"Hey," he said standing up.
"What are you doing here…. I mean, how did you find out where I moved to."
"It wasn't hard," he smiled. "I got McGee to find you. And as for why am I here? I figured you might need someone tonight, I didn't think you would want to be alone."
"I told you last night I would be fine when I called you."
"I know you did," he said stepping towards her and taking hold of her hand. "But you always say that and I have learnt over the years not to always believe you."
"Well you should have this time because I'm fine."
"Yeah?"
"Yeah."
"So why have you been crying?" he asked her raising his hand and running his thumb over the tear stains on her face. Olivia shrugged as Elliot stepped even closer and she felt the tears forming again.
"Hold me," she said quietly and Elliot nodded and pulled her to him hugging her tightly.
"Well isn't this sweet," said a voice behind them. Olivia moved out of Elliot's arms and turned around.
"Brian," she said. "What you doing here?"
"I knew it was Cragen's retirement I thought you might be upset. I came to see how you were. Guess I didn't have to bother," he said glaring at Elliot.
"You shouldn't have come, we are over," she told him and felt Elliot's hand on her lower back.
"Yeah, well I have been thinking about that and I want you back. I want to give us a go again."
"You got to be fuckin kidding me," mumbled Elliot.
"You got something to say Stabler?" asked Brian stepping towards them.
"Shit," said Olivia as Elliot stepped forward to meet him.
"I said, you got to be fuckin kidding me," he said again a little louder. "You think you can just show up and say you want her back and she will fall into your arms."
"This has got fuck all to do with you Stabler… now why don't you do what your good at and just leave."
"I'm not going anywhere, and this has everything to do with me," he said looking back at Olivia. "She has everything to do with me," he said smiling at her.
"Oh please," laughed Brian. "You left her without a word and you stand there and say she means everything to you….. Bullshit."
"You know nothing about why I left," said Elliot. "And how I feel about her has nothing to do with you, so why don't you just leave," he said turning back to Olivia. "Come on lets go," he said reaching for her hand and taking hold of it. Olivia nodded and turned without another word to Brian leading Elliot up the steps.
Brian reached out and grabbed Elliot's arm spinning him round and unbalancing him on the steps and threw a punch at Elliot connecting with his face. Elliot's head snapped to the side.
"Brian! What the hell?" yelled Olivia.
"You think you can just waltz back into her life!" he yelled at Elliot who was straightening himself up. "Think you can just walk back in and take her away from me, well I don't fucking think so."
Brian went to punch Elliot again but this time Elliot was expecting it and ducked out the way throwing his own punch and hitting Brian hard in the side of his face.
"You only get to hit me the once, you prick!" he yelled at Brian grabbing his t-shirt and holding him as he punched him again twice before letting him drop to the floor. "Now fuck off!"
Elliot felt Olivia's hand on his arm. "Come on," she said pulling him by the arm up the steps.
"Liv!" yelled Brian from the floor.
"Go home Brian," she said pulling Elliot through the door and closing it behind her, leading Elliot to the elevator.
"You okay?" he asked her as they waited.
Olivia nodded and reached down taking his hand. Elliot winced and Olivia looked down at his hand his knuckles were red from hitting Brian.
"Let's get some ice on this," she smiled holding his hand gently as they got in the elevator and the doors closed.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Olivia placed the ice pack on Elliot's hand holding it in place as they stood in the kitchen. They hadn't talked since the Elevator.
"I've missed you the last few weeks," he said quietly to her, she had her head bent and was looking down at Elliot's hand and the ice pack. "I mean I understand why you had to come back but it didn't stop me missing you."
"I missed you as well," she said not looking at him. "And despite me saying I was okay on the phone last night, I'm really glad you ignored me and came to New York anyway because I really need you tonight."
"You do huh," he smiled. He lifted his good hand and placed two fingers under her chin and lifted her head so she had to look at him.
"Yeah I do," she said giving him a little smile. "I have always needed you, even though I would never admit it. You're the only person I have ever needed."
"Ditto," he said cupping her face gently.
Olivia chuckled "Ditto?" she asked raising her eyebrows.
"Yeah ditto," he grinned dropping his forehead against hers. "Sooooo, I guess your single now?"
Olivia shook her head slightly "Not exactly."
Elliot pulled his head back looking worried "But just now downstairs with Brian, I thought ….. I mean you didn't want to…..You said on the phone you had ended it with him"
Olivia put her fingers to his mouth to silence him.
"I'm not single and I'm not with Brian," she whispered running a finger lightly over his lips.
Elliot swallowed hard and licked his lips his tongue brushing against Olivia's finger. "You're not?"
"I'm not," she said leaning in and up and replaced her finger with her lips kissing him softly.
"You mean, me and you are now….Oooooo," he grinned.
"Yeah, that's if that's okay with you." She pulled back and took hold of his hand. "Let's go to bed."
"You tired?"
"Hell no," she said leading him to her bedroom. "I'm anything but tired."
"Thank you lord," said Elliot under his breath making Olivia giggle as they entered her room. She walked over and put the bedside light on giving the room a dim glow. She turned to face Elliot who stood by the closed bedroom door.
"You okay?" she asked him walking towards him.
Elliot nodded and gave a small smile. "Just a little nervous," he told her.
"Ditto," she grinned making him smile a little more. "I have wanted this for so long. We are bound to be a little nervous it's a big step we are taking."
"Yeah," he said resting his hands on her hips as she stood in front of him. "But it's not just that."
"What else?" she asked as she pushed his jacket off his shoulders and letting it drop to the floor.
"It's…. It's been quite a while since I …. Since I have, you know," he said getting embarrassed.
"No your gonna have to tell me," she said sliding her hands under his shirt and running her fingers over his skin making him jump.
"I haven't had sex in a long time," he admitted.
"Me either," she told him as Elliot's hands moved around her and up her back to the zip on her dress.
"How long?"
"Since before Lewis," she said her breath catching as Elliot slowly lowered her zip she could feel his hands shaking. "How long for you?"
"Since Kathy."
"El that's….Over 2 years."
"Yeah," he said as he finally lowered the zip and his fingers lightly over her bare back and up to her shoulders as Olivia began to undo the buttons on his shirt.
"And there has been no one else?"
"I didn't want anyone else," he said as he pushed her dress over her shoulders and it slid down her body to the floor.
"And what if we had never got in touch anymore?"
"I always knew we would find each other again Liv, I couldn't go the rest of my life without seeing you."
Olivia opened the last button on his shirt and ran her hands up his bare chest and pushed the shirt off. She looked at his recent scar on his chest and kissed it softly. "So if you have had no sex for over two years….." she said smiling at him.
Elliot smiled back and raised his right arm and flexed his muscle. "My right arm is definitely a lot stronger than my left," he laughed, making Olivia laugh. "You got to know though Liv, it was always you I was thinking of, every single time," he grinned as he looked down at her stood in front of him wearing only a lacy black bra and lace panties. "Got to say though the real thing sure beats the pictures I had in my head.
Olivia's hands went to his belt as she began to undo the buckle and pulled it out through the loops.
"I think I best apologise now," said Elliot as she began to undo his button and zip.
"What for?"
"I Erm….. I don't think I'm gonna last very long the first time."
Olivia smiled at him. "I was thinking the same thing," she said as she pushed his jeans to the floor and he stepped out of them and quickly bent over to remove his socks.
"You were?"
"Yeah," she said looking down between them and biting her bottom lip when she saw the bulge in his boxers.
"Liv," he said his voice deeper and huskier than she had ever heard it before.
"Yeah," she croaked.
"Kiss me," he said lifting her head up with a single finger and leaning in his lips covering hers as one hand held the back of her neck and the other slid down to her waist as he kissed her softly and passionately as they explored each other's mouths.
Olivia gasped as Elliot's hands moved to her breasts and he cupped them massaging them gently over the lace, her nipples becoming hard and pushing against her bra as her hands explored his chest and back tracing every muscle.
"Need it…..off," he panted into her mouth as his hands went behind her and he quickly unhooked her bra and pulled it off. "Much better," he smiled as his hands went straight back to her breasts and squeezed her nipples feeling them harden even more.
"Shit," moaned Olivia dropping her head to his neck and sucked and kissed his pulse point as she slipped her hands lower and cupped his growing erection over the top of his boxers squeezing it gently, smiling when he groaned at her touch. "Need them off," she said copying his words as she pushed his shorts down and freeing his erection from the confines of the boxers and leaving him stood in front of her totally naked. She stepped back from him her eyes roaming over his body as she took him all in.
"God you are gorgeous," she told him.
"I was thinking exactly the same about you," he said as they both stood looking at each other.
"We need to take care of that," she said looking down at his erection. "When we make love for the first time I want you to last longer than 10 seconds," she laughed.
"Thanks," he laughed. "You do realise this is all your fault, I was saving myself for you."
"I know and I will take care of it for you," she said taking his hand and leading him to the bed. "Sit down and rest against the headboard," she instructed him.
"All ways figured you would be the bossy type in the bedroom," he grinned climbing onto the bed and resting his back against the head board.
Olivia raised an eyebrow and walked towards him. Elliot held his hand up and stopped her.
"Take them off first," he said pointing to her panties.
Olivia smirked as she slowly pushed them down. "Doesn't look like I'm the only bossy one," she said as she climbed on the bed and straddled Elliot's legs. "It also looks like somebody isn't as nervous anymore," she said as she ran a single finger down his chest.
"Oh I'm nervous but only cause I have dreamt of this moment for so long, I don't want to disappoint you."
"You could never disappoint me El," she said as her finger moved lower down over his stomach and the back of her hand brushed against his cock. "Let's start by giving your right arm a rest tonight," she said as she dropped her hand between them and gently took hold of him as her fingers wrapped around his hard erect cock and gripped him as she leant forward and kissed him.
"Fuck," he gasped into her mouth as she began to stroke him. He looked down and watched Olivia's hand stroking his length gripping and twisting her hand around him. She swiped her thumb over his tip spreading the pre cum already gathered there around his tip
Olivia bit her lip as she looked down at his cock in her hand, she felt herself getting wet and even more aroused as she moved her hand faster.
Elliot ran his hands up her legs digging his fingers into her thighs. "I gotta touch you Liv….. I need to feel you," he said slipping his hand between her legs and sliding two fingers into her wetness between her folds.
"Oh god," she moaned as a single finger entered her and she circled her hips as he added a second finger riding his hand as she continued to stroke him faster and harder, as Elliot pushed up into her hand.
"I'm sorry baby, I can't hold on, I'm gonna come," he panted.
"Don't be sorry," she told him. "I'm so close, so fucking close… Come for me El, come for me so you can make love to me long and hard."
"You first….. come around my fingers Baby, come on Liv, you so wet, I know your close."
He reached up and pulled her head to him and kissed her hard as the both moved their hands faster and harder against each other.
"Oh god that's it," she gasped. "Don't…..don't stop…shit," she said biting her lower hip as her body began to tremble and convulse, her inner walls clamped around his fingers as she came her juices covering his fingers.
The feel, sight and sound pushed Elliot over the edge as he jerked in her hand and came, his hot seed covering her hand, his stomach and her stomach as Olivia looked down and watched him, still trying to catch her breath.
"Jesus Christ," he panted trying to breath in between talking. "That was….."
"Amazing," she smiled as he removed his fingers slowly from inside her.
He smiled at her as he raised his glistening fingers to his mouth and licked her juices from them tasting her and moaning. "You taste so sweet," he told her as she watched him tasting her.
She grinned at him as she ran her finger through his cum and lifted it to her mouth and sucked it clean. "You taste pretty good yourself Stabler, can't wait to taste some more of you."
"That was so fucking hot," he smiled. "And I got to tell you Liv, my nerves have suddenly disappeared."
"They have."
"Oh yeah," he said as he moved forward and pushed Olivia onto her back and hovered over her dipping his head and kissing her, tasting himself on her lips. "And I hope you're ready cause you're going to be begging me to stop."
"Proof it," she grinned up at him as he spread her legs and took hold of him and began to stroke him again.
"Oh no," he said taking hold of her and pulling it away. "I'm in charge this time."
"You think so huh."
"Oh I know so," he smirked at her. "I am going to explore every single inch of you with my mouth, before I slip inside you and make love to you till you can't walk. I have dreamt of this moment for years Olivia Benson."
"Elliot… shut the hell up and kiss me," she said pulling him down to her and kissing him hard.

Present day
Elliot sat on the grass embankment not far from the lake and watched the kids through his binoculars as they pulled the boat up onto the small beach on the island in the middle of the lake. They had been at the lake for four days now. Most of the days were spent swimming, fishing and just lying in the sun. The older kids had decided to spend the night on the small island in the centre of the lake and have a bit of a party.
"They okay?" asked Abby sitting down next to him.
"Yeah," he said dropping his binoculars down beside him. "I'm surprised you didn't want to join them, thought it was your kind of thing, staying on a deserted island all night."
"Normally I would have, but I have a date tonight."
Elliot looked at her confused "A date?"
She nodded "He is really cute as well." She laughed as she watched Elliot trying to figure it out. "Eli asked me if we could go hunting for bats tonight and other creepy scary animals," she laughed. "I couldn't turn him down. "We are then going to sleep in the camp we are making this afternoon further into the woods, away from the campsite."
Elliot looked at her.
"But not too far away, I will make sure we will still have a sight on the tents and in shouting distance."
Elliot nodded as Abby rested her head on his shoulder.
"Gibbs told me you asked to be taken off oversea assignments."
"Yeah."
"I'm glad, I hate it when any of you guys go away, I worry the full time. I can't concentrate on my work or sleep properly, I spend every minute scared."
"Yeah well you're not the only one. It seems my kids are the same. And after what happened with Liv they made me….. us realise we couldn't keep doing it to them. We both need to stop putting ourselves in danger all the time."
"Working in NCIS will always have its danger."
"Maybe, but not as dangerous as Afghanistan or some other war torn country, and plus I get to come home to Liv every night."
"And you have the rest of the team watching your back."
"Yeah I will," he smiled kissing the top of her head.
"And it's good that Olivia is looking for a safer job. I couldn't stand it if anything happened to you guys. After everything you have both been through you deserve to be happy."
"You gotta look at it this way Abby, if we hadn't been through what we had, if I hadn't left like I did. Gibbs wouldn't have come for me, I wouldn't have met you and the team and honestly, I don't think me and Liv would be where we are now."
"Fate huh," she said looking up at him.
"Yup," he said putting his arm around her as they both sat in silence and looked over the lake.
"You know," Elliot said after a short while. "It's not just Olivia and my kids I'm doing this for, you mean a lot to me as well Abby. You were there for me when I first came here. You didn't judge me or lecture me. You listened to me when I needed to talk about Liv and my past and you stayed with me when I felt like drowning in a bottle of vodka. But most of all you helped me to connect with my kids again. You hardly knew me yet you never gave up on me and I will always be grateful to you for that."
Abby looked up at him and wiped the tears from her eyes.
"Yeah well you kind of grew on me," she smiled. "Just a little bit though."
"Just a little but huh."
"Yeah."
Elliot smiled as he kissed the top of her head again. "I love you to Abs," he told her hugging her tightly to him.
Elliot heard a twig crack behind him and a small muffled giggle.
"We have company," he whispered to Abby. "Don't move."
"What do you mean," she whispered back.
"Listen," he told her and they both sat in silence.
"We need to get closer," whispered Eli as he stepped on another twig. "We should crawl on our bellies like marines do," he whispered.
Elliot and Abby tried not to laugh as they listened to Eli trying to lie down quietly.
"Ow," he said a little louder as he started to shuffle behind them. through the trees and bushes. Elliot figured Olivia was with him but she was a bit quieter. He could feel Abby trembling against him as she tried not to laugh at Eli's attempt sneak up on them.
Suddenly a blast of cold water hit the back of Elliot head and Abby's back.
"Aaaahhh!" screamed Abby as her and Elliot both jumped up and spun around just in time to get hit by another blast of cold water first in the chest then the face.
"What the f… hell" yelled Elliot wiping the water from his eyes. He opened them to find Olivia and Eli stood not far from them holding huge water guns in their hands laughing. Elliot looked at Olivia his mouth dropping open. She was stood in a black bikini his skin glistening with the sun oil and sweat, she looked amazing.
"We got em Livia!" yelled lifting his hand and Olivia gave him a high five.
"We sure did," she grinned as a wet Elliot and Abby continued to stare at them for totally different reasons.
"Oh you think you got us do you?" grinned Elliot as he stepped towards them water dripping from him.
"Yeah dad we got you both good," giggled Eli as both him and Olivia raised their water guns at Elliot and Abby who stepped closer.
"Stay back Stabler," warned Olivia grinning as she pointed her gun at him.
"Or what Benson?" he smirked.
Olivia looked at Eli and they smiled at each other nodding.
"Or this," she said as they both opened up and squirted water at Elliot and Abby again. Elliot ran towards Olivia as a blast of water hit him in the face. "Elliot no!" she screamed at him as he grabbed hold of her gun snatching it from her before picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder. "El put me down," she said slapping his bare back leaving a red hand print.
"Nope," he said spinning around and facing Eli pointing the water gun at him and pulling the trigger hitting Eli with the water making him scream. Abby quickly grabbed Eli and threw him over her shoulder and looked at Elliot then the lake.
Elliot nodded and took off running down the embankment towards the water.
"Elliot don't you dare," warned Olivia.
"Or what?" asked Elliot, "You keep making these threats Benson but nothing ever happens," he said as he heard Eli screaming and giggling behind him as Abby followed him.
Before Olivia had the chance to answer he ran into the water as deep as he could before dropping her into the water. A few seconds later there was another splash as Abby dropped Eli. Elliot turned and high fived Abby as both Olivia and Eli resurfaced coughing and spluttering.
"That was so cool Daddy," giggled Eli before he splashed water at Abby and then his dad. Soon a full on water fight was been carried out. Olivia grabbed Eli and held him up in front of her protecting her from the water Elliot was throwing at her.
"Olivia!" he squealed. "Where supposed to be partners," he laughed.
"We are," she told him. "And right now your protecting me."
Wet and exhausted they all trudged back to the small beach area and collapsed on the sand gasping for breath.
"That was so much fun," panted Eli.
"Sure was little man," gasped Elliot as they all just lay there and dried off in the warm sun.
"Abby," said Eli after a short while.
"Yeah Buddy."
"Can we go and build the camp now, before it gets to dark."
"Sure buddy. But let's go and get changed first," she said standing up.
Eli looked at his dad and Olivia who were still lying on the sand with their eyes closed and holding hands.
"Are they asleep," he whispered to Abby.
"I think so," she whispered back. "Must be tired after playing in the water, they're not as young as they used to be," she told him.
"They are getting old," he whispered back. "Maybe we should leave them to rest."
"Sounds good to me," said Abby trying not to laugh as she saw Elliot open one eye and smirked as they walked away over the embankment and out of sight leaving them alone.
He moved across the sand closer to Olivia. "Come here baby," he said to her. Olivia lifted her head and put it on his chest and wrapped her arm around his waist
"So tired," she yawned.
"That's cause were getting old," he chuckled as he closed his eyes. It didn't take long for them to both fall asleep as the sun began to slowly set.
Next up Elliot and Olivia have a fun night alone at the campsite, and we find out a little more about their first time together.
Let me know what you think if you can spare the time.
