Olivia pushed open the door of the squad room. Munch and Fin were behind their desks, filing some paperwork. They both looked at Olivia when she walked in.

"Has Elliot called?" Olivia asked.

They both shook their heads.

"You both owe Alex so big for convincing me not to kick both of your asses," Olivia added as she picked up her phone. After a few minutes of talking to Elliot, she was on her way to the hospital.

Alex finally walked into her apartment late that night. Not only did she get hit in the head with a chair, the second she stepped into her office some defense attorney tried to bury her in motions. Her phone died sometime between the time she got to her office and the time she left. They way her day was going, she expected to fall down some stairs or at least for one of the heels on her favorite shoes to break.

After changing, she plugged her phone in and set it on the nightstand before falling into bed, completely ignoring dinner, just wanting the day to be over.

Just as she was about to fall asleep her phone rang. She picked it up and mumbled, "It figures." She flipped it open and answered, "Cabot."

"Alex?" Olivia asked, "Did I wake you up?"

"Not really," Alex replied, her anger dissipating.

"I'm sorry," Olivia replied, "I'm just calling to see how you feel."

"I'm okay I guess," Alex added, "It's just a headache right now."

"Do you need anything?" Olivia asked, softly.

Alex looked around, "Some Tylenol, but I can't reach it without getting out of bed."

Olivia chuckled, "Can you wait fifteen minutes?"

"I think so," Alex smiled.

"I'll be right there," Olivia replied before hanging up.

Alex got up only to unlock her door. She crawled back into bed and covered herself up.

Sure enough, fifteen minutes later, Olivia walked in, saying hi to the doorman and security guard on her way up. At Alex's door, she tried to knob first to see if it was open and it was.

She stepped in, kicked off her shoes, and went to the kitchen. After getting a glass of water and the Tylenol, she quietly walked down the hallway to Alex's room.

Alex was laying on her side, with her legs curled up, playing with her phone. She smiled when she saw Olivia. "You're right on time."

Olivia walked over to the bed and sat next to Alex, handing her the water and Tylenol. Alex took the medicine and set the empty glass on the night stand.

"Anything else?" Olivia asked, stroking Alex's hair.

Alex closed her eyes, "Lay with me?"

Olivia smiled, "Of course." Olivia took her jacket off.

Alex opened one eye, "You're not going to get in my clean sheets with those dirty clothes are you?"

"Would you like me to take them off?" Olivia raised an eyebrow.

"Yes," Alex closed her eye again.

Olivia smirked and removed her outer layer of clothes, leaving her clad only in her underwear and bra. She slid under the covers next to Alex and pulled the comforter up over their shoulders. She wrapped her arms around Alex who snuggled close. She slid one hand over Olivia's stomach and was surprised to come in contact with bare skin.

Alex kept her eyes closed, but ran her hand up Olivia's bare side and down her back. She could feel Olivia's breathing get ragged. She smiled to herself. "You're warm."

Olivia could barely think, much less talk. Alex's cool hands running against her exposed skin was a sensation she definitely wasn't prepared for. She couldn't stop her mind from imagining Alex's soft hands on other places of her body.

Alex finally stopped moving her hands along Olivia's midsection and rested one on Olivia's hip, bringing the other one up to capture Olivia's hand and thread their fingers together.

Olivia kissed Alex gently.

Alex smiled, "You so sweet. How'd I get so lucky?" Her blue eyes fluttered open to look at Olivia.

"Four leaf clover?" Olivia shrugged.

Alex shook her head.

"Horseshoe?" Olivia smiled.

Alex chuckled, "I don't think so."

Olivia's eyes went over every part of Alex's face, memorizing every detail. Then her eyes stopped at the bandage over Alex's eye. "Does it still hurt?"

"No," Alex replied, "I'm going to check in the morning to see what it looks like."

Olivia pulled Alex as close as she could, "I'm glad you're okay."

Alex buried her face in Olivia's shoulder. After a long pause, Alex added, "Thank you."

"For what?" Olivia asked.

"For caring," Alex replied, quietly.

Olivia kiss top of Alex's head, "I'll always care."
