Author Notes: Elliot is still at it.

Olivia could not believe the scene before her. Her desk had been transformed into a queen's throne. Her chair was covered with a fake red fur pad. Her desk was adorned with all sorts of cute Valentine decorations and there was a bowl of her favorite snack candy, M and M's: in Valentine colors of course. A bell had been placed beside a note that said, ring me for free paperwork finishing, fresh coffee or anything else your heart desires. Elliot led her over to the chair and pulled it back for her. He gently pushed her down and removed her shoes. He picked up a pair of fuzzy pink slippers and slid her feet into them. He then took a soft pink and white blanket and laid it across her lap and knees. He kissed her on the temple and slid her chair under the desk. She looked up when she saw Cragen coming out of his office. He had on a cape and was carrying a scroll. He walked dramatically over to Liv and winked at Elliot. He unrolled the scroll.

"Hear ye. Hear ye. Today is officially Olivia Benson Day. She is to enjoy a full day off from chasing perps and interrogating scumbags. Her paperwork is to be light and she is to enjoy every lavishing moment of the next few hours. No one is to cause her any grief or in any way add stress to her day. Anyone breaking this law will answer to me."

He grinned at her and rolled up the scroll. He smacked Elliot and then Fin and Munch on the heads with it and swept dramatically back into his office. Liv threw her head back and laughed until tears were running down her face. She had never in twelve years at SVU seen her boss act that way. She loved it. The rest of the morning went along smoothly. There were no new cases so the three detectives did paperwork and told terrible jokes and teased each other. Then around 10:00 a man walked in who looked just like Michael Buble and asked for an Olivia Benson. Liv twirled her chair around as he turned on a CD player and began to sing "The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" to Liv. She listened to him dreamily and looked at Elliot as he sang. When the young man left, El came over to her and took her hand in his.

"That is exactly the way I feel about you Liv. Every word is true. To me, you are the most beautiful girl in the world."

Liv couldn't quit smiling for the rest of the morning. At Noon an entourage of people arrived at the squad room. A small round café table was set up. A tablecloth was placed along with a candle and two sets of plates. A cart was rolled in and a waiter placed salads on the table and held the chair out for Olivia. Elliot sat down in the opposite chair.

As they dug into their salads, a violinist began to play several of Olivia's favorite love songs. Dessert was a piece of chocolate cheesecake and they enjoyed sparkling cider. Olivia smiled at Elliot and clinked her glass to his.

"To the best Valentine's Day ever with the best guy ever."

"To the most beautiful woman in the world. I can't believe you're here with me. How did I get so lucky?'

The afternoon went really slow until around 2:00 when a little old lady with a basket entered the squad room. She poured a cup of hot chocolate from a carafe and squirted whipped cream on top of it. She placed a basket of freshly baked cookies on Olivia's desk. They were still warm. They were her favorite: peanut butter with chocolate chips. Liv ate two and drank the hot chocolate, making groans of pleasure. She had her eyes closed and when she finally opened them, three pairs of eyes were staring at her.

"What?"

"Those must be really good cookies."

"Oh, sorry. They are. Want some?"

The three men fell eagerly on the basket and Liv heard Cragen's door open. He joined them and they all ate until they were stuffed. Olivia had to laugh at the four of them. They were arguing over the last of the hot chocolate in the carafe. She sighed. This was her family. She couldn't think of a better way to spend Valentine's Day than with the four men who she loved more than anything in the world. The rest of the afternoon was uneventful and she watched the clock eagerly. Given everything Elliot had done so far, she knew tonight was going to knock it out of the park. How did she get so lucky?

At 5:00 Cragen entered again and smiled at Liv.

"All right detective. I have it from reliable sources that you have a very important date tonight and the ladies who are hiding out in my office are ready to go to work on you."

Olivia turned around to find a rack with several dresses on it. A stylist, a manicurist and a hairdresser were standing and waiting for her. Her jaw dropped and she stood up shakily.

"You may choose any one of these dresses for tonight. Go along Olivia and enjoy the next few hours as these folks do their magic. Stabler. Go and get yourself ready and put in motion the other things you have planned for this lovely lady."

Elliot stood and smiled at Liv. She was already fingering every dress on the rack. He knew which one he liked the best, but he wanted Olivia to have her choice. She turned to him and held up each dress in front of her. She held one after the other and then watched for his reaction. When she came to the dress he loved, she knew immediately. She grinned at him and said, "This one. Definitely this one."

With that they headed up to the cribs to get her ready. Olivia brushed her hand across Elliot's cheek as she passed him. "See you soon."

"Yeah. See you soon." He captured her hand and kissed her palm before he let her go.

At 7:00 on the dot the door to the cribs opened up and Olivia emerged. Fin and Munch looked up at the same time. Fin let out a long low whistle.

"Baby Girl, you look amazing."

"He's right Olivia, you have never looked so beautiful." Munch offered his hand as she stepped down from the last few steps. Cragen had been watching through his open office door. He came and stood in the doorway with his arms crossed.

"Olivia, you look like you stepped out of a magazine. Elliot is a very lucky man."

"I'm the lucky one."

Cragen walked over to her and opened up a jewelry box that held a pair of diamond earrings and a diamond necklace. Olivia looked up at him in shock.

"They're on loan from a friend of mine. Think of it as my Valentine's Day present to you. May I?"

Olivia nodded and he placed the necklace around her neck and closed the clasp. She slipped the earrings in and spun around for one last look from her men. Olivia heard a sharp intake of air.

Elliot's heart skipped a beat. He had never seen her look so amazing and he had seen her leave for lots of dates over the years. A part of him always felt jealous that her dates got to spend time with her. Those nights he thought about her and what she might be doing. Now he couldn't believe he was the one spending a dream date with her.

Liv turned to see an absolutely gorgeous Elliot Stabler decked out in a tuxedo with a beautiful red cape draped over his arm. His blue eyes sparkled as he smiled at her. Her gasp matched his. If this was a dream, she never wanted to ever wake up. This was going to be a magical night.
