Olivia lifted her head as Elliot entered the bullpen… with Eli in his arms?
"What happened?" she asked. Olivia stood up and walked toward him. She leaned against his desk while El sat down in his chair.
"Kathy said she has to get some things done… I dunno what she just said that and stepped into the elevator." El answered with a sigh. Eli awoke in his arms and turned his head. Again he outstretched his little arms and Elliot let Olivia take his son into her arms. Eli laughed happily and played with Liv's curly hair. Olivia smiled and placed kisses on the little boys head. Again Elliot was stunned by how beautiful his son and his partner/ best friend interacted.
Suddenly Olivia's phone rang. Elliot took Eli out of his godmothers arms. Olivia leaned across Elliot's desk and answered her phone.
"Benson"
Elliot couldn't stop it… by the way she was leaning over his desk he just had to… stare at her perfect ass. She leaned even farther down to scribble something on a notepad. What she didn't notice was that Elliot could stare even better this way.
Eli moved in his arms. The little boy had to be his son. With what Eli did next he knew it not like Elliot had any doubt before but with Eli shoving his little hands into the back pockets of Liv's jeans he was sure. Elliot couldn't stop grinning.
Olivia turned her head around with a shocked look on her face. She probably thought that El grabbed her ass. Not that he wouldn't want to do that…
OH GOD what was he thinking. He was married for god's sake! Olivia was his partner.
And he couldn't get the image of her gorgeous ass in front of him out of his head.
Eli withdrew his hands out of Liv's pockets and Olivia ended the phone call.
"Well he definitely is your son" Liv said with a grin.
Elliot, who was still grinning like a fool, laughed "Should I even bother to pretend I didn't know what you're talking about?"
Liv only laughed at that statement. She walked to the coffee machine and Elliot didn't miss the unusual swinging of her hips. He leaned back in his chair and watched her walk. Eli cuddled into his chest and fell asleep.
Olivia returned with two cups the one with coffee for Elliot and the one with tea for herself.
She caressed Elis head and to Elliot's disappointment she turned to sit in her own chair.
They just looked at each other for a few moments before the ringing of Elliot's cell phone interrupted the silence.
"Stabler" he answered.
Liv watched Elliot as he listened to someone on the phone. He chewed on his bottom lip while he concentrated in what the other one was saying. The phone was pinned between his head and shoulder. With one hand he patted Eli's back and with the other one he wrote something on a notepad on his desk. He ended the phone call and stood up and walked toward the hall way.
"I got a lead on Dickie see you later" he shouted
Olivia couldn't believe what she was seeing. She ran after Elliot and caught him staring thoughtful at the closed elevator doors.
"El" she called
He turned his face and looked at her.
"What is it" he asked chewing on his lip again.
She took Eli from his arms and said "I'll take care of him just promise that you'll call me if you know of something new"
Elliot was shocked he didn't even realize that he was still holding Eli in his arms. He stared at her and whispered "Thanks"
She turned around but he caught her arm. "Thank you Liv for everything. I don't know how I deserve you. You're awesome. I feel honored to be your partner and best friend" He leaned down and kissed her forehead.
"Thank you too El" She kissed his cheek and he turned around and stepped into the now open elevator. She saw him pressing the button for the floor. He then looked up and smiled at her. Olivia smiled back and the doors closed.
