Truth And Deception

(Chapter Ten: Moment Of Truth)

It had been four days now since the true identity of Olivia's father had been revealed to them. Donald Cragen had acted quickly to have himself tested to see if he were a possible match to be a bone marrow donor for his daughter and now they just had to wait for the results to come in.

Olivia sat at her desk chewing the cap of her pen. She couldn't seem to focus on work with the weight of everything in her personal life on her mind. But sitting around at home waiting wasn't going to help anything either. She shifted her eyes up to look in the window of Cragen's office to catch him staring at her, then she quickly looked back down at her desk.

Neither of them had really spoken much about it. They had just kind of excepted it and just gone on with their lives the only way they knew how. For now this was where they were both comfortable. Infact they hadn't shared the news, any of the news with anyone else at work yet. Not only was Elliot the only other one to know he was her father, but they hadn't managed to tell anyone else about their marriage or her illness, yet. Olivia knew it would all have to come out eventually, she just wasn't quite ready yet.

She tipped her head to look at Elliot across the room. He was the one thing that had helped her stay sane through all of this mess. He winked at her as she mouthed the words 'I love you' in his direction. She exhaled deeply and stretched her hands out in front of her on the desk palms down and laid her forehead against the cool of the wood.

Part of her felt stranger to him. Another part felt guilty for even expecting such generosity from someone she had only known as her father for a couple of days. Olivia's thoughts were disrupted when the elevator doors opened. She watched as the kid from the lobby downstairs delivered the mail, carrying a stack of letters into Cragen's office.

Olivia's breath caught in her throat as Cragen appeared in the office door and motioned for she and Elliot to enter the room. She laid her pen down beside the file she was supposed to be reviewing for court the next day and slowly pushed her chair away from her desk as she walked toward his door. She looked up at Elliot nervously as they reached the door at the same time. For the first time in public he reached out to her holding her hand in his and kissed her cheek.

They stepped inside the office and closed the door behind them. Olivia stared down at the floor as Cragen began to speak.

"I just got it, I thought you two should be in here when I opened it."

Olivia closed her eyes and held her breath as she heard the sound of the envelope ripping open. She felt Elliot's hands placed supportively on her shoulders and her warm tears as they began to stream from her face. This was it. The moment of truth. The one letter that would for better or worse change her life forever. Then she heard his words.

"I'm a match," Cragen said with excitement as Elliot pulled his wife into his arms and held her tight.

Olivia broke down crying burying her face into his shirt as he rocked her in his arms. Cragen made his way from behind the desk and kissed the top of her head gently. Olivia raised her eyes to look at him and he was crying as well. She looked into his eyes and for the first time she saw the father he had wanted so badly to be all of those years. The father she had so desperately needed and now had.

She pressed her lips together and shook her head unable to speak. She forced a smile and brushed tears from her cheek.

"I don't….I don't know what to say," she said softly staring at him.

"You don't have to say anything, honey. I am just glad that I can help." Cragen took a deep breath. "So how do we get this started. Do we just call and schedule the surgery?"

"Umm….no. I will have to contact my doctor and I have to start Chemotherapy for a few days first. They will probably want you in for a physical and maybe some other tests before hand, I'm not sure. This surgery is not going to be easy on either of us. It is very rough. And it will be about six weeks before they will know if it even worked."

"Well, then we should get started." Cragen smiled at the sparkle of hope in her eyes.

Olivia smiled back at him.

"Thank you," she said softly.

"It's the least I can do, Liv. You know, I would have done this anyway. The part about me being your father was just an added bonus."

She raised her big brown eyes and gave him a shy smile, in that moment he saw Serena Benson, the woman he had fallen in love with all of those years ago.

That evening the crew went out for drinks after work. Elliot caught Olivia as they walked into the bar and pulled her aside from the group.

"What's up El?"

He said nothing, just slipped the small diamond ring and matching band on her finger and kissed her lips.

"I don't want to hide it anymore. I want the world to know that you are my wife and I love you."

She smiled and kissed him.

"I love you, too."

Elliot laced his fingers in hers and proudly lead her back to the table where their friends sat. He stood with her hand still in his and cleared his throat. Everyone looked up at him and he made his announcement as he held her hand up and kissed it. The people at the table were all quietly in shock for a moment before he heard a slow applaud begin to raise. Elliot grinned like a fool and kissed her right there in front of everyone.

They spent the rest of the evening sitting as close as the could to each other with his arm around her and his fingers laced in hers.

That night Elliot sat in bed reading as Olivia smoothed soft musk scented lotion over her skin. She closed the cap and put the bottle back into her night stand. She looked across the bed as her husband and smiled as she crawled seductively in his direction and closed his book sitting it on his night stand and pressing her lips to his.

"Baby, are you sure?" He mumbled between kisses.

"I'm sure," she said with a smile as she leaned in closer to him. "It seems like it has been forever since you touched me."

"You have just been so tired lately."

"Elliot, I am fine. Besides, we need to do this while we can. I start my Chemo tomorrow and in about a week I will have my surgery, I don't know when I will feel up to it again. And we are still newlyweds."

Elliot leaned up and kissed her tenderly as he slid his hands over the curve of her ass above her pink plaid flannel pajama pants. Olivia moaned in anticipation and squealed as her rolled her over and tossed her to the bed.

He smoothed his hands around the waist band of her pajama pants raising her cotton candy pink tank top and kissing the soft skin of her belly underneath. He worked his way down as he pulled her pants off and dropped them into the floor leaving her only in the pink tank top and matching cotton boy short panties.

Olivia wrinkled her nose and twitched her foot back and forth as he kissed the inside of her thigh and moved his fingers slowly over the thin pink cotton barrier of her panties, allowing her to feel him with out his actually touching her.

She moaned softly and tipped her head back as he kissed back upward searching under the tank top until he found both of her perfect breasts, needing them firmly with his hands as he kissed and sucked gently on them. Within moments he had one nipple in his mouth gently biting and sucking at it as his tongue flicked rapidly over it. He moved quickly to the other breast offering it equal attention until she moaned loudly and grasped at his tee shirt.

Elliot sat up and pulled his tee shirt over his head, then pulled her tank top off as well. He stared down at the exotic beauty under him as she smiled up at him caressing the side of his face with her hand. She pulled his jaw back toward her and pressed her lips to his once more.

Elliot pulled down her cotton panties kissing downward once more until his mouth brushed gently against her opening. With one hand he caressed the inside of her thigh and used the other to hold her knees apart as she trembled to his warm moist breath against her sensitive skin.

Elliot moved his fingers slowly against her as she moaned to his touch. He slipped them into her feeling her warm wetness waiting for him. He raised her knee sliding her legs just a little further apart as he slipped his tongue inside causing her to moan and raise her back up off the bed. Elliot settled between her thighs as he licked and sucked on her clit. He listened as her breathing became short and raspy and watched her squirm and bite her lower lip trying not to scream out to him.

"Oh Ellllll," she moaned softly as she brushed her fingertips over his shoulders and rocked her hips against him. "Oh baby."

Elliot smoothed his hand over her belly once more and could feel the moist sweat begin to bead up on the surface of her skin. Olivia curled her toes and moaned through an orgasm, but he kept going. A few more seconds and she was trembling at his mercy.

Elliot kissed his way back up her belly and across her neck before placing passionate kisses on her lips again. Olivia giggled just a little as she felt his erection against the inside of her leg through his boxers. She rolled him back over and pinned his hands to the mattress as she slipped below the blankets. Elliot moaned as her hand appeared again and tossed his boxers over the side of the bed.

He watched her hand as it stretched upward from below the blankets and her fingertips danced around his navel. Then he moaned as she moved her warm mouth over the shaft of his penis and continued to kiss and suck on it until he could barely contain himself. She pulled back just long enough to push back the blankets and lower herself onto him.

As she did she clawed her fingers over his chest a continued to rock her hips against him. Their mouths crashed together and breathing was rapid as they both began to moan. Elliot flipped her back onto the bed and raised her leg holding her calf muscle in one hand as he entered her again. From this angle he could reach deeper and further into her body.

He could feel her warmth and wetness with each thrust inside her. He would go slow, then speed up just a little, then faster, then slow again almost in waves bringing her so close but not allowing her to slip over the edge.

Olivia could not remember the last time she had experienced sex like this. She looked up at Elliot and was immediately lost in the cool blue of his eyes. He raised up hitting her in exactly the right place as she moaned and trembled and clawed at his back. Elliot felt her muscles begin to contract around him once more as he sped up his movements sending them both over the edge.

A few moments later he fell into the bed next to his wife as she laid across his chest and giggled at the thought of their sheer exhaustion.

"God Elliot, that was amazing."

He smiled and kissed her as he wrapped his arm tight around her and caressed her bare back with his fingertips. Olivia placed baby kisses over his chest and stared up at him in adoration as he kissed her forehead. Moments later she laid her head against his chest and closed her tired eyes.

Elliot combed his fingers through her hair and kissed her forehead. "I love you baby," he whispered softly against her ear as he kissed her cheek.

"I love you too," she replied with a yawn.

Before long her breathing was in sync with his and they had both fallen asleep.
