A/N I hope to be able to post a new chapter this or week but I won't promise it. Studying is my first priority this week. I hope y'all can understand that. But what I can promise is that I will make it up to y'all with the next chapter.

Chapter 16

The first few hours after they went asleep Olivia can't get her mind shut off. She knows that Alex and she are safe here. There is no way anyone will find them here and tomorrow she will check all the booby traps she had made. It will take a few hours but it needs to be done. No the Detective is worried about the message. She hates it that she had to leave Abby, Casey and Dakota behind but it was for the best. This way it is the safest for all of them. And it means she will have some time alone with the woman asleep in her arms and curled up against her. She and Carry need to make a schedule for patrol shifts. Olivia is glad that Hammond made the suggestion to choose someone from her old division. She trusts Carry completely just as much as she trusts Alex. And the Detective is sure about one thing, Carry will protect the blonde attorney with her life just like Olivia herself will do. Another thing is that Carry knows what to do if things will go down and more importantly she will do it. Finally at 3 am Olivia falls asleep for about 4 hours. As Olivia wakes up she feels something heavy lying on top of her at first she is worried for a moment but as soon as she smells the strawberry shampoo she knows it's Alex laying spread out on top of her. And the Detective can't wipe away the huge smile that's coming on her face. Alex Cabot is lying on top of her and this time she won't have to feel guilty about it. Olivia's debating if she should get up or stay in bed and just look at the sleeping beauty on top of her. But then she smells coffee and she knows that Carry is awake too. Carefully Olivia moves Alex next to her and steps out of her bed. The Detective tip toes out of the bedroom but leaves the door open a bit so that she can hear it when Alex wakes up. She looks one more time at the blonde ADA before she turns around and walks to the kitchen.

"Morning Jr." Olivia says walking to the can with coffee and pours herself a cup.

"Morning Sr. How did you sleep?" Carry asks.

"I slept for four hours which considering the circumstances is actually pretty good. You?" Olivia ask.

"The same. I think I fell asleep around 2 am and woke up around 6.30 am. I decided to get up and make some coffee since I knew I wouldn't fall back to sleep again." Carry answers.

"I know. I was debating if I would get up or stay in bed with Alex, but then I smelled the coffee." Olivia says.

"Ah yeah, Alex. Well I have to say you have a good taste in women Sr." Carry smiles.

"Thanks, I guess. To be honest I didn't act on it since I left college. Wasn't that difficult either to tell you the truth. But then of course Alexandra Cabot came marching into our squad room bossing us around. The moment I saw those cerulean eyes I knew I was toast. Not that it mattered, or so I thought. So again I buried it and moved on with my life." Olivia says.

"I can see why you knew that you were toast." Carry says.

"Yeah well she's taken now so keep your hands to yourself Jr." Olivia says seriously, though she has a smile around her mouth.

"And protective too, apparently. Don't worry Sr. I'm still straight and even if I wasn't I won't try to steal your woman. Not that I would have a chance if I would try it. The woman is clearly head over heels in love with you. And protective too. Although if I have to guess I think I would rather have her against me then you. She kills you with words, you just kill." Carry smiles.

"That right. But I can assure you that isn't something you would like to try too and certainly won't forget." Olivia answers with a smile.

The two women talked some more and made a plan how to take the patrol shifts. Olivia draws a map for Carry to show where all the booby traps are. Even though she has to check them she doesn't want Alex to know how many there are. So Carry will stay with Alex when Olivia goes to check them that is if the blonde attorney agrees with it of course. Alex woke up an hour after Olivia and while having breakfast they discussed what they would do today. After breakfast and taking a quick shower they go to check the booby traps including Alex and Carry. The blonde refused to let Olivia go alone and check them out for hours. So they agreed that after they had a tour in the house they go outside with the three of them. They cleaned up when they were done and sows them the house. It has two large bedrooms, one big bathroom with a bath, a living room, kitchen, a one room that Olivia had turned into a gym, an office with a bookshelves and more books than you can count and a garage where the storage unit could be charged with the home trainer, a pantry with food, towels and that sort of things, a motor cycle and a fuel tank for the motor cycle. Before they go Olivia locks up the house thoroughly and then they go. Half way checking the booby traps Alex is stunned with the amount of them she already knows of. She hasn't actually seen them. Olivia wants her to stay at a safe distance from them.

"Damn Liv. You didn't put a few booby traps here and there, this area is a damn mine field. And I don't even know or want to know what you've put into the ground." Alex says.

"I've got to keep us safe here, don't I? Since it's not possible to have a high level security system here this is the only way to do that." Olivia says.

"Well you certainly did that Detective. Although I think I could better say Staff Sergeant seeing what you did here." Alex partly jokes.

Olivia just shrugs her shoulders and smiles. At noon they are back at the house and have lunch. Olivia sits on the home trainer in the garage for half an hour to make sure the have enough electricity the rest of the day and night and then goes to the gym to work out wearing a tank top and a short sweatpants of the NYPD. Half an hour later Alex walks to the gym and stands in the door opening looking at her girlfriend, staying there so she doesn't disturb the Detective. About 3 minutes later Carry walks to them to join Olivia and do some sparring with the Detective after that she takes the first patrol shift.

"Need a bucket, Alex? We don't want a pool of water on the floor since you are drooling all over Sr. there." Carry teases.

Alex blushes since she's caught drooling over the strong Detective.

"Why don't you just make yourself useful and join her for your sparring match, Jr." Alex answers.

Carry laughs and walks into the room. Although Carry is right the attorney would never admit it. Alex can't help it but to her Olivia is so incredibly hot right now. She can see the muscles moving under the sweaty olive skin and it makes the younger blonde's libido going trough the roof. Alex shakes her head and forces herself to focus on the sparring match to stop herself jumping Olivia's bones right now. Alex thinks that they are good sparring partners. That's until the women decide to get the breaks off to be trained and ready should it be needed. Even though Carry is about 8 years younger than the Detective, she can't win their fight and ends up on her stomach with one arm locked on her back and tapping out on the training floor.

"Go change and take the first patrol shift Jr. and next time I'll work out longer so that you actually have a chance to win the match." Olivia smirks.

"That won't help me and you know it. Are you still sparring with the guys of your squad like you did in the Army? Because this can't be from our training camps we have a couple of time a year." Carry smiles.

"No I'm not. After I kicked my former partner's ass in the squad room none of them wanted to do that with me. He was a former Marine." Olivia smiles and shrugs her shoulders at the same time.

Carry raises an eyebrow.

"Why did you do that? What did the guy do to piss you off that bad?" Carry asks.

"Long story short he called Alex the Ice Queen and insulted her after I warned him not to go there. Shouldn't have done that. So I kicked his ass, nobody insults or harms Alex in my presence if I can help it." Olivia answers.

"You can say that again. Alright I'm off." Carry says.

"Oh you might want to dry the floor around the door opening, your girl was drooling all over you while you were working out." Carry calls over her shoulder as she walks away.

Alex slaps Carry on her shoulder as the brunette walks by her. Carry just stick her tongue out and walks to her bedroom. Quickly changed into a combat uniform, picks up a rifle, a gun and some small artillery and is off for her two our patrol shift in 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, Alex walks into the gym and straight to Olivia with a special spark in her eyes. When Olivia looks up and sees Alex walking towards her and sees the look in the younger woman's eyes she gulps before her mouth went dry. Alex couldn't be more beautiful or sexier in the Detective's eyes than she is now. At least that's what Olivia thinks at this moment...
