Chapter 8

"…Find him guilty ladies and gentlemen. I'm positive you wont regret it," Casey concluded and then sat down.

"We are in recess while the jury deliberates," Lena instructed and then pounded her gavel.

Casey got up from her seat and gathered her papers. She turned around and saw Olivia sitting right behind her. They both smiled as they looked into each other's eyes. Olivia stood up and cradled Casey's face in her hands.

"I love you Olivia," Casey proclaimed with a smile.

Olivia brought Casey forward and planted a passionate kiss on her lips. "I love you Casey," she said gently as she slowly pulled away.

"I read your letter. It was beautiful. I know you didn't mean for anything to happen. I'm sorry I took everything out of proportion. I love you so much Olivia. I know you cared about Alex and him and that is ok. I've had feelings for people I have worked with before. So I know why you did what you did and said what you said. So forget about it. I love you and you love me and that is all that matters now," Casey smiled and then kissed Olivia's lips again.

"Awww…" Fin and John mocked from behind them.

Olivia turned and smiled, embarrassed.

"Oh, go kiss each other," Casey said waving them off. "You want to get something to eat and meet me back in my office?" She smiled turning back to Olivia.

"Sure," Olivia smiled back.

They all walked out of the courtroom and went their separate ways.

Olivia came back about twenty minutes later with Subway sandwiches and some coffee. She walked into Casey's office and smiled seeing her sitting there.

"Hey honey," Casey said looking up from her desk.

"Hey beautiful," Olivia responded and then leaned over Casey's desk to kiss her. She placed the bag of food on Casey's desk. She took one cup of coffee and placed the other in front of Casey.

Just before they finished eating there was a nock at the door.

"Its open," Casey said loudly.

"The jury's back," Trevor Langan announced. With that he smiled at them and walked off.

Casey wiped her mouth with her napkin and got her briefcase off of the couch.

"No matter what happens in there, you made a good case and that is what counts," Olivia reassured Casey with a smile.

Before walking into the courtroom Casey pulled Olivia close enough to whisper in her ear. "I love you," she whispered softly and kissed her on the cheek.

They went in and sat down. Then Casey looked up at Lena as her and the jury walked in.

"Has the jury reached a decision?" Lena asked sternly.

"We have your honor," the man in the twelfth seat declared as he stood up.

Casey and Olivia rushed into the 16th Precinct.

"So what's the verdict?" John asked.

"This woman is amazing!" Olivia declared. "Guilty on all counts! Yes!"

Cheers rang out throughout the room.

Olivia pulled Casey towards her and kissed her hard on the lips.

Elliot smiled at them. He shook his head and then continued with his work.
