Chapter 16 The Zoo

"Liv…Liv…" Elliot was whispering into her ear in the early sunlight.

She turned towards him and wrapped her slender arms around him.

"Good Morning Sunshine!" He said kissing her on the top of her forehead.

"Morning." She said not wanting to open her eyes to the burning rays of the sun, but wanting to see her beautiful partner that lay next her, so she fluttered them open, he kissed them.

"Come on let's get up sleepy pants, we have a big day!" He said throwing the covers off of them.

"Ohhhh! Can't we just lie here all day?" She said walking her finger up his naked chest.

"I would love too, but I told Lilly we would take her to the zoo. She really loves you Liv, or shall I say, Wivy." He teased.

"It's cute when you say it too," She said as she pecked him on the lips, "Ok, lets go, the zoo sounds fun too!" She shot up and out of bed and headed to her master bath. Elliot followed of course.

"Elliot! What are you doing?" She cried as he stepped in the shower with her.

"Helping you." He said as he grabbed the soap from her hands and started washing her back.

His hands washed over her shoulders and back and made his way to her stomach. He placed his hands over her stomach and rubbed gently. He turned her around and bent down and kissed her stomach. It was a symbolic moment, and tears started to fill both their eyes. "I want to have a baby with you Olivia." He said kissing her on the lips.

She couldn't respond, she was too choked up and overcome with emotion. She kissed him back hard on the mouth. He placed his thumbs on her face and wiped away her tears. She was completely in love him. The fact that he knew she was crying, even though it was impossible to tell tears from the spray of the water just proved to her how much this man knew her. She melted into his body.

Elliot and Olivia walked around the zoo with Lilly. She pointed out all the animals, and tried to make the sounds they were making. Liv was cracking up. They were walking by the Giraffes and Lilly was on Elliot's shoulders. The sight was so cute, Olivia had to kiss him. She planted one right on the lips, and unintentionally slipped her tongue passed his lips. They heard Lilly laughing, and she pulled away.

"Elliot, Olivia. Good to see you."

They both turned, stunned and completely embarrassed.

"Captain…uh…hey?" Elliot said pulling Lilly off of his shoulders.

"You lied to me." Don said looking hurt.

"Yes, but you have to understand why!" Olivia pleaded.

"Liv, it's ok. If you think I bought any of that crap you guys were saying yesterday then you need to have your badges taken away." He joked.

Olivia and Elliot both looked at each other. Did Don just make a joke? Is he ok with this? He didn't even sound mad.

"Cap, we had too, to protect you, and our jobs." Elliot butted in.

"I know why you did it Elliot."

"How'd you know?" Olivia said looking at Lilly's outstretched hands.

"I saw you."

"Huh?" They said in unison

"At the Yankee's game. I saw you."

They both looked at each other and remembered the game.

"Oh." The said again in unison.

"I'm not mad you know. I should be. I should ask for your badges right now, but I'm not going too. You two are my top detectives, don't tell Munch or Fin I said that, or I will take your badges," Olivia and Elliot just smiled at each other, "I'm just surprised it took you this long is all. Keep it out of the office, and if this gets out, I had no knowledge of this, understood?"

They both nodded. They couldn't believe they were getting off this easily.

"I'm happy for you both." He said and walked away.

"Wow…" Olivia let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Yeah, Wow. You know he's not done with us right? We are in deep sh---stuff come tomorrow morning."

"Totally. I'm not looking forward to Monday." She said taking Elliot's hand and placing it in hers.

"So where to Lil?" Elliot asked.

"THE MONKEYS!!"

"Alright! Monkeys it is!"

"I'm going to miss her." She said to Elliot as they watch Lilly make funny faces at the monkeys.

"I know me too."

"She is so cute I can't stand it. I don't want them to leave. Jenni is great; I have really enjoyed having them stay with me. We should make it a habit to visit them once a month."

He kissed her on the forehead, "I would love that. Jenni really likes you too Liv. Did you know that my mom loved you too?"

"What? She didn't even know me." Olivia said with her eyebrows raised.

"Yes she did. When we were home for her funeral, Jenni told me how my mom knew that I was in love with you. Apparently every time I called, all I talked about was you. She saw this coming from miles away. My mom didn't hate Kathy, but she didn't think she was the right one for me. I think she thought that Kathy tricked me into marrying her," He looked at Lilly still making faces at the Monkeys and laughed, "Anyways, what I'm trying to say is that my mom would have fallen in love with you Olivia, and I truly believe that she was force that brought us together." He kissed her on the top of the head, and pulled her close into him.

Olivia's eyes watered, "That was so sweet El." Was all she could see.

"Geez, Liv you have cried twice in one day, emotional?"

She just looked at him with her big brown eyes, but she didn't say anything. She cursed God for making the first signs of pregnancy identical to PMS.

When they got back to Olivia's apartment they were all beat. Lilly had fallen asleep in the car and Elliot carried her to the guest room.

"Wore her out huh?" Bryan said when he came back out.

"Sure did." Elliot replied.

"Well guys, I have some great news!" Jenni butted in.

"Oh yeah what's that?"

"Bryan and I are staying together. We are going to make this work." She said holding back tears of happiness, and grabbing her husband's hand.

"Oh my god! That is great you guys!" Olivia said grinning!

"There's more," Bryan said, "WE ARE MOVING TO THE CITY!"
