Last Time:

They both sat at the dinner table but before Elliot could say a word, Olivia did.

"Why aren't you with your wife and children?" She asked as she rested her head on her right fist.

"Kathy filled for divorce. Her and I are over. Things began to crumble months ago." He admitted before taking Olivia's left hand in his right. "What's troubling you, Liv?"

"I don't want to talk about it." She said and snatched back her hand.

Elliot took it back and caressed the top of her hand with his thumb as he looked in to her chocolate brown

eyes. "Livvie, please talk to me." He begged.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

"I've lost my faith in love...I have Laila. She's the only person I need." Olivia admitted.

Elliot reached over and caressed her cheek. "Liv, you need more then a toddler to talk to. I love you, please let me in."

"You---- you love me?" She asked in shock.

Elliot nodded. "Yes, I do. I love you, Olivia Benson and I love Laila like a daughter."

Instead of replying verbally, Olivia's lips clashed with his, beginning a very passionate kiss until she pulled away and covered her mouth as she bit her bottom lip.

"Sorry. I shouldn't have done that." She whispered before rushing in to the living room.

"'k, Mommy?" Laila asked as she watched her mother sit down on the couch beside her.

"Yes, baby." Olivia replied.

Laila nodded and sat in her mother's lap.

Elliot walked in to the living room and saw Olivia watching the DVD with Laila.

"Liv, why don't you go out with Alex for awhile. She has the day off and you need a break. I'll look after Laila."

Olivia looked down at the toddler sitting in her lap. "You want to stay with Uncle El?"

Laila nodded and opened up her arms for Elliot to pick her up. "Uncle El."

Elliot picked her up and Olivia stood up as well.

"I'll just call Alex and have a shower then." She said before walking out of the living room.

"Laila?" He spoke up as he sat on the couch with Laila in his lap.

"Yes, Uncle El?" The toddler asked looking up at him.

"Has Mommy told you anything about me lately?"

Laila nodded and turned around in his lap to face him. "Mommy say she love you. Mommy don't think you feel same feelin'." She tried to explain.

Elliot nodded. "I'll help her to believe again." He thought to himself.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Three hours later saw Olivia and Alex sitting at a bar, drinking. The both of them were teethering on the edge of drunkiness.

"Liv, you need to tell Elliot exactly how you feel." Alex said as she put down her now empty glass.

Olivia gulped down her whiskey and put down the empty glass, asking for another. "It's hard." She replied simply.

"Liv, once he knows, everything else will fall in to place. Laila loves him which is a big plus. Elliot has been more of a father to her then her own father has."

Olivia ran a hand through her hair. "You're so right, Alex. You're right."

Olivia stumbled in to the apartment just after midnight.

"Liv, you're drunk." Elliot stated as he walked up to her from the kitchen.

"I'm going to bed." She slurred and almost lost her balance.

"Come on, Livvie." He said softly before guiding her in to the bedroom with his hand on the small of her back.

He helped her in to bed and tucked her in. "Sweet dreams." He whispered and gave her a kiss on the cheek before walking out.

Elliot went in to the bathroom and grabbed two tylenol pills and then went in to the kitchen to grab a glass of water before placing them on her bedside table for when she woke up.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Olivia was woken just after 6:30am by Laila jumping on the bed.

"Morning, Mommy." She said happily before lying down beside her mother.

"Morning, baby." Olivia replied, trying to ignore the pounding in her skull.

She looked over at the bedside table and saw the tylenol and glass of water. "Elliot must've left them there." She thought to herself as she took the pain killers.

"Baby, go wake Uncle El. Mommy is going for a shower."

Laila nodded and ran out.

"Uncle El." She said as she saw him sitting up on the couch, awake. "Mommy in shower."

Elliot nodded. "Do you want a DVD on while Uncle El cooks breakfast for you and Mommy?"

Laila nodded. "Elmo, peas (please)."

"Ok, La-La. Climb up here." He said and gave her a hand up on to the couch before he got up.

Elliot put the DVD on and then went in to the kitchen.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

That afternoon, while Laila was having a nap, Elliot and Olivia were sitting on the couch, talking.

"Sorry about last night." She apologized, remembering that she came stumbling in to the apartment, totally wasted.

Elliot took her hands in his. "It's fine, Livvie. You needed a break, you've been through a lot. I love you."

"I love you too." She replied before her lips clashed with Elliot's, beginning a very passionate kiss.

"Bedroom?"

"Mm-hm." Olivia replied in between kisses.

They stumbled in to the bedroom, closing the door behind them before they began to shed each other's clothing.

"Condom?"

Olivia shook her head and kissed his neck. "I'm on the pill and I trust you."

Elliot nodded and gently entered her, completely.

Olivia gasped.

"You alright, babe?" He asked concerned.

Olivia nodded. "It's just been a while."

Elliot kissed her on the lips. "Ready?"

"Yes." She answered. "Come on, move."

Elliot laughed a little and began to thrust in and out.

Olivia held hands with Elliot as he increased his pace.

"You feel so good, Livvie." Elliot moaned after a while.

Olivia flipped them over and she began to ride him. Elliot reached down where their connected as one and teased her clit, earning a long deep moan from Olivia.

Elliot moaned himself when he felt her inner walls clench around his shaft.

"So...close." Olivia managed to grit out in between moans.

"Ok, baby." Elliot panted and flipped them back over so he was on top again.

Olivia wrapped her legs around his waist. "Faster, El." She moaned.

Elliot obeyed by pounding in and out faster until they both exploded in to their orgasms together.

"Wow." Elliot panted as he slid out of her before lying down beside her and wrapped his arms around her.

"Yeah, wow." She replied with a smile before they were interrupted by a tiny knock on the door followed by a tiny, angelic voice.

"Mommy."

"Coming baby." She replied as she quickly put some clothes on.

Olivia opened the door and saw Laila fiddling with her training pants. "You wet, baby girl?"

Laila nodded. "Acciden'."

"Ok, sweetie. Come on." Olivia replied softly and took her tiny hand.

-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-

Olivia walked in to the kitchen with Laila on her hip, dressed in a little pink dress. Elliot was in the kitchen, cooking.

"What you doing, El?"

Elliot turned around to see Olivia and Laila. "Hey girls."

"Uncle El." Laila said with a smile as she was placed in her high chair.

Elliot wrapped his arms around Olivia's waist. "I love you."

"I love you too." Olivia replied with a smile.
