"Well, looks like Rob can spend the rest of his life in jail." Munch said. "Nice work councilor." Munch nodded towards Casey.

"Thanks, coming from you, that's a major compliment. Well, I think I am going to head home now, see you in the morning." With that, the ADA headed to the stairs.

"Yeah, I think that I'm gonna head out as well. Fin, you're driving me home." Munch pointed at Fin.

"That's my cue. See you guys, Cragen, Elliot, Olivia." Fin saluted the trio and then headed out the door.

"Nice work you two," Cragen said. "Now, I think I'm gonna head out as well. I expect the paper work on the Harriet case to be on my desk by tomorrow morning." Cragen grabbed his coat off the coat rack in his office and headed towards the elevator.

Alone again. Elliot looked at Olivia and smiled. "What?" Olivia caught him staring at her, a wicked grin in his eye.

"Well I was thinking that maybe since everyone was gone. And our paper work is done so I think we should go to my place order Chinese and hang out."

"Hang out? Are you kidding me? There is way more behind that smile than hanging out." Stating that Olivia walked away from her desk, swaying her hips back and forth.

God, he loved it when she did that. He raced after her and grabbed her shoulders. "What makes you think that?"

Olivia turned around, "Because I can see right through that cheesy grin of yours." She playfully punched his chest. He grabbed her arm and pulled her closer.

"Oh really." He bent down and kissed her on the cheek. "So is that a yes?"

She looked into his eyes, those baby blue eyes, they could melt her with one glance, they could see into her soul. She gave him a quick kiss and headed for the door. "Let's go," she said, a giddy look in her eyes. And Elliot couldn't get out the door fast enough.

Sweeping eggshells still at 3 am
We're trying far too hard
The tattered thought balloons above our heads
Sinking in the weight of all we need to say
Why's and what if's have since long played out
Left us short on happy endings

"Elliot, what is gonna happen with this relationship?" Olivia looked up into his eyes. They were both laying on his couch watching The Mask of Zorro.

"I dunno. What do you want?"

"You know what I want, I love you, but what about work, your kids, Kathy."

"That will work out in time. Don't work your self up about it. Our love will work it out."

He swept the baby hairs from her face and kissed her forhead.

"El."

"What, baby?"

She got up and walked into the kitchen. She started to clean up their take out boxes. He knew she was teasing him. Then she turned around and looked him in the face and pointed for him to follow her. She headed in the direction of his bedroom. He got up from the couch and followed her. She was sitting on the bed waiting for him. She laid back and he laid beside her. She turned so she was on top of him. She kissed him. He wrapped his arms around her to deepen the kiss.

"I love you," Olivia whispered in his ear. With that, the two became one.


And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On this endless night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never

You know that there's so much more

"I love you, Olivia Benson."

After they were finished, the two went to sleep. Neither one nor the other had ever felt such a close bond to anyone ever than to the person they were lying in bed with. And they knew that this was love.


And it's no one's fault
There's no black and white
Only you and me
On our final night
And as the hours run away
With another life
Oh, darling can't you see
It's now or never
It's now or never
