A few months had gone by and Alex and Olivia reveled in domestic bliss. Of course there were the occasional fights, but they'd made an agreement to never to go to bed angry. The bed was their sanctuary. There they were protected from the world. There they had each other and would always have each other.
Alex walked into their apartment and tossed her attaché on the couch, mumbling to herself, "Seriously, who need Shaken Baby Syndrome explained to them four times."
Olivia sat up from the couch and removed the attaché from her stomach. "Ow."
Alex finally spotted Olivia on the couch, "I'm sorry, baby."
Olivia reached over and took Alex's hand, pulling her into her lap, "I can tell by your angry muttering that something's bothering you."
Alex chuckled, "Have I ever told you that you're a great detective?"
"Not enough," Olivia replied. She kissed Alex's cheek, "What's wrong?"
"Just work stuff," Alex answered, sinking into Olivia.
Olivia kissed Alex's neck, "You mom called."
"Called you?" Alex asked.
"Yeah," Olivia replied.
"I told you she likes you better than she likes me," Alex smirked.
Olivia chuckle, "I'm not sure about that."
"What did she want?" Alex asked.
"She wants us to go to dinner with her tonight," Olivia replied.
"And you told her…" Alex prompted.
"That I'd have to ask you," Olivia smiled.
"Good answer," Alex took Olivia's hands and wrapped them around herself, "What have you done on your day off so far?"
"I made lunch," Olivia answered, "If you get up, I'll go get it for you."
Alex scooted off of Olivia and sat on the couch.
Olivia left and returned with two bowls of soup. "What time do you have to be back at work?"
"I have to be back in twenty minutes," Alex sighed.
Olivia kissed Alex's cheek, "Then relax and eat."
Alex took a bite then pointed to the space between the window and the coffee table. "We need a love seat."
"And a new couch?" Olivia asked, eating her own soup.
"Do you want a new couch?" Alex looked over at Olivia.
Olivia shook her head, "Not particularly."
"I'm sure I can find a love seat that matches this couch," Alex stated, kicking off her shoes and pulling her feet up under her, "And I want a Jacuzzi."
Olivia chuckled, "Whatever you want sweetheart."
Alex ate and cuddled with Olivia as much as she could before she had to get back to court.
Olivia looked out the window and as soon as she saw Alex leave, she pulled out her phone and left the apartment. In the elevator she dialed a number and put the phone to her ear.
"Took you long enough," Serena answered her phone.
"I wasn't going to rush her," Olivia replied with a smiled.
"Yeah well, I've been sitting in my car for half an hour," Serena stated.
Olivia chuckled, "No one said you had to sit in your car." She walked out of the elevator at the ground floor and walked outside to Serena's waiting car.
They both hung up and Olivia got in the passenger's seat, "Where are we going?"
"The mother of all jewelry stores," Serena smirked.
"That would be?" Olivia asked.
"Tiffany's, duh," Serena replied and took off.
Olivia was in awe of the massive store.
"You've never been here before?" Serena asked.
"I chose to live vicariously through Holly Golightly," Olivia smiled.
A few hours later, Serena was driving Olivia home. "Are we still on for dinner tomorrow night?"
Olivia nodded, "If Alex goes you might have to distract her."
"I can do that," Serena replied.
When Serena stopped Olivia looked at her watch, "That was faster than I thought. It's only one fifteen." Olivia got out and looked at Serena, "Don't you dare tell anyone."
"Anyone?" Serena asked with a small smile.
"Do not tell anyone," Olivia replied.
"I promise," Serena smirked, "No matter how hard it will be."
"Thanks for your help Serena," Olivia smiled.
"Anytime," Serena replied.
Olivia closed the door and walked into her building.
As she was unlocking her door, her phone rang. She smiled when she saw who it was, "Hello love of my life."
Alex giggled on the other end of the line, "Hi baby, where are you?"
Olivia unlocked the door and swung it open, "I just got home."
"Okay," Alex stated and hung up.
Olivia looked at her phone, "Did she just hang up on me?"
"Yes I did," Alex said walking into the living room with a bag over her shoulder and an envelope in her hand.
"What are you doing home?" Olivia beamed.
"We're leaving," Alex smiled and grabbed Olivia's hand, pulling her out the door.
Olivia eyed the bag and the envelope, "Where are we going?"
"To dinner," Alex smirked when they got in the elevator.
"It's only one fifteen," Olivia looked at Alex like she was crazy.
"Well, I guess you'll just have to watch me eat," Alex replied, pulling Olivia out of the elevator and to her car.
Olivia shrugged, "Okay, but since when do you eat dinner before seven?"
Alex chuckled, "It's seven o'clock somewhere."
Olivia was content to follow Alex anywhere, so she sat back in her seat and let Alex take here wherever they were going.
She was surprised when Alex pulled to a stop outside a small private airstrip with a large hanger close to the security gate. Olivia looked at Alex who just smiled, grabbed her things and go out.
Olivia scrambled after her. She followed Alex to a security gate where the guard smiled and let them in.
A man in a suit walked over to them, "Miss Cabot." He smiled, "Are you ready?"
Alex nodded and handed the man the envelope, "Let's go."
The man turned around and called out, "Bring it out!"
A few seconds later a small private jet was towed out of the hanger.
The door to the jet opened and Alex grabbed Olivia's hand pulling her aboard. Once up the stairs, Olivia looked around at the cabin. There was a long couch on one side of the cabin and a table and chairs on the other. At the end there was another door.
"Welcome to Southerlyn Airlines," Alex smiled dropping her bag in the chair.
"Where are we having dinner?" Olivia asked with a huge smile on her face.
Alex smirked, "Well…"
The man that greeted them came up the stairs and closed the outside door of the jet. "If you two lovely ladies will have a seat, we'll take off."
Alex and Olivia sat on opposite sides of the table. They heard the engines start up and the soft hum. Olivia looked out the window and smiled.
"Where are we going?" Olivia asked again.
"To dinner," Alex replied as they started to taxi down the runway.
"You're not gonna tell me?" Olivia leaned back in her chair.
Alex shook her head, "You'll know when we get there."
Olivia looked out the window for a few minutes until they were at cruising altitude, then she looked back at Alex who was smiling at her.
The pilot's voice came over an intercom, "You can get up Miss Cabot."
Alex reached behind her and pressed the button on the intercom, "Thank you Ryan."
"Can I ask you a different question?" Olivia asked.
Alex leaned her elbows on the table and rested her chin in her hands, "Of course."
Olivia pointed to the door behind her, "What's in there?"
The sly smirk and the raised eyebrow for the Bureau Chief told Olivia what the answer was. "Have you joined the mile high club yet?"
