The next day, the four detectives sat at their desks working. "So how do you like working with Hothead over here, Baby-girl?" Fin asked as he tossed a small, toy basketball in the air and catching it.

"Actually he... did you just call me Baby-girl?" Olivia asked, arching her brow at him.

Fin caught his ball. "Sorry." He said quickly.

"It's okay Fin." She gave him a small smile and a wink. "Anyway, he's okay, i guess."

Elliot's head shot up after her comment. "Okay? Please Liv, I'm the best partner you've ever had."

"El, you're the only partner I've ever had." She smiled and threw a crumbled piece of paper at him. "Hey Munch, what are you reading?" Munch held up an old, hardback book entitled The Assassination of JFK, A Conspiracy?. "What's that about?" she asked.

"Don't ask." Elliot said.

"Well it's about how.."

"Ugh.." Fin and Elliot groaned and got up from their seats.

"Anyway, its about how some people believe that JFK's assassination was a conspiracy." Munch said.

Olivia nodded. "Sounds good." she lied through her teeth. "I'm gonna go find the guys." Olivia got up and head for the cribs.

"Hey Baby-girl." Fin told her and Olivia smiled at the name.

"You know, i usually don't like when guys give me pet names."

"But i'm different right?"

She laughed. "Right." She smiled again when he kissed her cheek and left the room. Elliot eyed her suspiciously. "What?"

"What was that?" he asked her.

"What was what?" She smirked at him.

"He kissed you and you let him."

"It was on the cheek El. Completely innocent. He was just being friendly." She said as she turned to walk out the room but he grabbed her arm and pulled her back in. "What are you doing?"

"Do you like him?"

"Elliot you make it seem like we're in elementary school. He kissed my cheek. Yes, i like him but as a friend and for some reason like a big brother."

"A big brother?"

"I don't know. Why do you even care El." She leaned against one of the bunks.

"I just..."

"Elliot, you need to come downstairs." Fin interrupted him. "You wife is here."

Elliot nodded and left the room with Olivia following. He walked in the bullpen to see his wife leaning against his desk. "Elliot! I need you to... Who is that?" Kathy asked eyeing Olivia up and down.

"Kathy this is my new partner Olivia, Liv this is my wife Kathy." Elliot said keeping his hands in his pockets and staring at the floor.

"So this is who Dickie keeps talking about?" Kathy said.

Elliot nodded. "Nice to meet you Kathy." Olivia said as she held out her hand but Kathy declined.

"Whatever." Kathy turned to Elliot. "Like i was saying, I need you to keep the kids this weekend because i have to go to my mothers. Is that okay?"

"Yeah, sure that's fine. Is that all?" She nodded. "And you couldn't have called."

"I wanted to see you Elliot." She ran her hand down his chest to his stomach. "I miss you."

"You should go Kathy, we have to get to work." He said pulling her off of him.

"Bye Elliot." She kissed his cheek and left.

Elliot looked at Olivia before sitting down at his desk. "She's a real charmer." Olivia told him and he rolled his eyes.

A couple of hours later, Elliot and Olivia decided to go to lunch. They sat across from each other at a small booth both enjoying their sandwiches. "So you get your kids this weekend. That's exciting right?"

"Yeah it is. I was actually thinking that we all could spend the weekend at the beach. Me and you and my kids. They have this fair going on at the pier so i thought we could go there too."

"You want me to go spend the weekend with your kids? I don't even know them El."

"So this weekend we will change that." He reached over and grabbed her hand. "I have a feeling we are going to be partners for a while so i think you should at least meet my kids. It'll be fun, I promise."

She nodded. "Okay El, I'll go to the beach with you and your kids this weekend." He smiled at her and she looked down at their interlocked hands. "Why are you holding my hand Stabler?" she smirked at him.

"Sorry." He looked down as he bit into his sandwich. She laughed and stole one of his fries. "Hey!"

"Payback. That's what you get for holding my hand. I'm not a touchy, feely type of girl El." she smiled.

"But you let Fin kiss you?"

"Ugh are you going to bring that up all the time or will you get over it?" she took a sip of her lemonade.

"I just can't believe you let him kiss you."

"It was on the cheek!"

"So you wouldn't mind if i kissed you?" Elliot asked.

"Actually yes, i would care."

"Why? What's so great about him?"

She smiled. "Because you are married and kissing me is completely inappropriate. Now, if you asked if you could kiss my cheek, i wouldn't mind." She grinned and he got up and walked over to her sided and softly kissed her cheek. "Do you feel better now?"

"Yes. Actually i do." He smiled and continued eating his food.

Next up: A trip to the beach with Elliot's kids. Don't forget to Review! Thanks :)
