"We're gonna be in SoHo all day if you need me," Alex kissed Olivia before they parted ways outside their apartment the next morning.

"Okay," Olivia smiled, "Have fun."

"Be careful," Alex poked Olivia's stomach.

"Always," Olivia kissed Alex again, "Love you."

"Love you too," Alex replied.

Olivia walked into the squad room and started the coffee. She was always the first person there, but she was earlier now that Alex woke her up in the morning. Instead of hitting the snooze button, she's be ready for the day the second Alex gave her a good morning kiss. It was the best way to start any day.

"Hey Liv," Cragen said while he walked to his office.

"Good morning Cap," Olivia smiled, "Coffee?"

"Thanks," Cragen changed his route to the coffee maker.

Olivia poured him a mug and handed it to him. Cragen nodded in a thank you before shuffling into his office and closing the door.

Elliot yawned as he walked in.

"Coffee?" Olivia asked.

Elliot nodded and walked over. He accepted the mug from Olivia and took a sip, "How are you so happy in the morning?"

"I'd be that happy if I woke up next to someone as hot as Cabot in the morning," Fin commented as he walked in.

Olivia chuckled.

A few hours later, Alex looked at Serena who was in a long emerald evening gown.

"What do you think?" Serena asked, twirling in front of Alex and both of their moms.

"Don't you think it's a little low cut?" Mrs. Southerlyn asked.

Serena smiled and looked at Alex, "What do you think?"

"Um…" Alex paused, "I liked the blue one better, but this one looks okay." She drained the last of her coffee out of the Styrofoam cup. "I'll be right back. I'm gonna run across the street to get more coffee."

"Okay," Celine nodded to Alex, "Be careful honey."

Alex walked out the front door of the store without looking back.

Cragen stepped out of his office, "Stabler, Benson."

They walked over to him. He handed them a piece of paper, "Get going."

Elliot took the paper and walked out with Olivia right behind him.

"Where are we going?" Olivia asked, starting the car.

"SoHo," Elliot replied, "Victims is stuck under a dumpster so they don't know who it is yet. The only thing on her is her cell phone, which is dead. She's completely naked. Tall, skinny, blonde."

Olivia's heart started pounding in her ears. She took out her phone.

"What's wrong?" Elliot asked.

"Alex is shopping in SoHo with her mother, who is tall and blonde, Serena, who is tall and blonde, and Serena's mom, who I'm guessing is tall and blonde," Olivia explained, dialing Alex's number.

Elliot watched the crime scene appear in the distance, with flashing lights and yellow tape.

"You've reached the voicemail of Alexandra Cabot, leave a message…." Olivia hung up. Olivia let out a long breath, "Her phone's off."

"I'm sure Alex is okay," Elliot assured Olivia.

Olivia started tapping her fingers on the steering wheel as she pulled to a stop. She dialed another number with her free hand.

"Southerlyn," Serena asked.

"Is Alex with you?" Olivia asked.

"Uh no," Serena replied, "She ran across the street to get coffee?"

"Can you see her?" Olivia asked urgently.

"No," Serena stated, "What's going on? Does it have anything to do with the three police cars that just flew by here?"

"How far away are you from the crime scene and where are you?" Olivia asked as she got out of her car.

Serena peered out the window, "A few blocks and I'm at Myka's."

"How long has Alex been gone?" Olivia quickly added.

"I don't know," Serena stated, "Ten minutes? What is going on?"

"I'm at a scene," Olivia replied, "Just call me if you see Alex."

"What do you mean if?" Serena asked, but Olivia didn't hear it. She closed her phone.

The officer at the scene looked at the detectives, "There's not much we can do until we get a lift over here."

"How did the dumpster get on top of her?" Elliot asked, kneeling down trying to see under the dumpster.

The officer shrugged, "Some people said the trash truck was over here a few minutes ago."

"How long until the trash truck comes back?" Olivia asked, impatiently. All she could see was blonde hair spewing from under the dumpster.

"They said ten minutes," the officer replied.

"I'll be right back," Olivia stated and took off running down the street.

She kept watch on both sides of the street and finally spotted Myka's. She ran to the coffee shop on the other side of the street. She slowed to a walk before going through the door. She scanned the whole shop, trying to catch her breath.

Then she let out a sigh of relief. Alex was standing at a table in the corner, reading a newspaper. Alex looked up when she saw Olivia approach. She smiled, but it soon faded when she saw the look on Olivia's face, "Liv, what's wrong?"

Olivia didn't reply. She threw her arms around Alex and held her close. "Thank God you're okay."

"Liv?" Alex was really getting worried.

Olivia slid her hands down to Alex's hands, "I'm sorry. It was just a misunderstanding."

Alex pushed some stray hair out of Olivia's face, "Must be some misunderstanding."

"There's a woman under the dumpster down the street," Olivia explained, "And her cell phone is dead and when I called you, it went straight to voicemail."

"Oh," Alex nodded, "I forgot to plug in my phone last night. I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault," Olivia smiled, "I just jumped to conclusions."

Alex softly kissed Olivia, "It's okay. You should see me every time I hear a cop's been injured."

Olivia chuckled, "Okay. I gotta go back to work. I love you."

"I love you too," Alex replied.

Olivia hugged her one last time before walking back to the scene.

When she got home, Alex was standing on the back of the couch with a rag.

"What are you doing?" Olivia asked with a small smile.

"I'm dusting this vent," Alex replied wiping the dusty vent with the damp rag.

Olivia walked up behind hand and held Alex's legs steady, "You're insane."

"Maybe," Alex smiled. Once she was done, she tossed the rag onto the coffee table and held Olivia's hands as she jumped down.

Alex stepped into Olivia's embrace and Olivia held on tight.

"How was work?" Alex asked.

Olivia shrugged, "Same gruesome crimes, same ruthless perps."

Alex took Olivia's hand and led her back to the bedroom, "I bought you something. Actually, I bought you a lot of somethings."

"Are any of the somethings you bought me, something that you wear?" Olivia smiled.

Alex smirked, "Well, yeah, but there's a bunch of other stuff. Go lay down and I'll show you"

Olivia crawled up the bed and laid on the pillows. Alex stepped into the closet and came out in a long black dress.

"Wow," Olivia smiled, "You look amazing."

"You ought to see what's under it," Alex replied with a twinkle in her eyes.

"Can I help you out of that?" Olivia asked, sitting up.

Alex shook her head, "Not yet. You get your other presents first." Alex reached in the closet and pulled out a shopping bag. She set in on the bed next to Olivia.

Olivia reached in and pulled out a leather jacket. "Thank you baby."

Alex sat on the foot of the bed. "You're welcome."

Olivia pulled out a small black velvet box. After a quick look to Alex, Olivia opened it. "Oh my God," Olivia breathed. She looked at the ring. The platinum band was only interrupted by a beautiful sapphire that completing the circle.

"Do you like it?" Alex asked, biting her lip.

"It's gorgeous," Olivia smiled. She slipped the ring on and crawled over to Alex. She softly kissed Alex. "Thank you."

Alex returned the smile, "You're welcome." She kissed Olivia's cheek. "Now it's time for you other present."

Olivia beamed.

"But I think I might need help getting out of this dress," Alex stood.

Olivia stood with her, "I'm here to help in any way that I can."
