Chapter 9

Olivia opened her eyes and looked down. Elliot was still lying on top off of his now soft and limp shaft still buried inside. She smiled as she listened to him snoring softly into her neck. She gently ran her fingers up and down his back as her mind wandered back to earlier that night and their love making. He had been so caring and gentle with her, afraid at times to hurt her. But the sex had been so intense she had never had sex like that before, not with anyone. He mumbled in his sleep his lips brushing against her neck and his body twitched slightly as he dreamt. As his body moved she felt him push and move inside her slightly.

She bit her bottom lip as she felt herself becoming aroused again. She tightened her inner walls against his limp cock and instantly felt him beginning to harden as she released then gripped him over and over. Elliot began to move his hips slightly pushing himself into her a little more.

"Hmmmm Baby ….what are you doin," he mumbled not quite awake yet.

"Trying to get your attention," she told him as she squeezed him harder.

"I think it's working," he said before he began sucking on her neck and he thrust his hips forward harder.

"Yeah I think it is," she replied to him as she pushed his hips up to meet him as he thrust in and out of her slowly as she tightened around him every time he pushed into her.

"God that feels so good," he said raising his head and looking at her for the first time since she had awoken him, "So fucking good," he growled as his lips crashed against hers and he pushed deeply into her.

"More El….. I want more of you."

Elliot put his hand under her leg and raised it up over his shoulder and raised himself slightly on his knees enabling him to push deeper, harder and faster into her hot, tight and wet pussy. He looked down between their bodies and watched his cock sliding in and out of her covered in her juices.

"Fuck," he cursed as he felt his blood rushing through him and his balls tighten. "I'm sorry baby, but I can't hold on," he struggled to tell her.

"It's okay," she panted. "I'm close to." She reached down and rubbed her clit as Elliot's body began to tremble and he thrust hard inside her as he came hard and fast his hot seed spurting inside her coating her walls. The feel as he came was too much for Olivia as her own climax ripped through her body and she gripped him hard her nails digging deep into his back drawing blood.

Elliot pulled out of her gently as they both their bodies began to relax. "Aaaah," moaned Olivia as he pulled out of her.

"What's wrong?" he asked her, hovering over her his semi hard dick resting on her pussy. "Are you sore, have I hurt you?" He looked down at her worried their last love making may have been too much for her.

She smiled up at him and ran her fingers down the back of his neck. "I'm fine, just a little tender, that's all, and like I said you're a little larger than I have been used to."

He looked down at her with a cocky grin "you know I always thought Cassidy was a little prick."

Olivia slapped his shoulder and laughed as she pushed him off her "Go get me some water and pain killers," she told him "my arm is throbbing again after punching Brian.

Elliot rolled off the bed and looked down at her as she pulled the sheet over the lower half of her body.

"Liv….. I would have come back to you….. I mean if this hadn't happened. I would have come back to you sooner or later. I was just trying to find the courage to do it. I was scared you wouldn't want me in your life after the way I treated you."

Olivia looked up at him and gave him a reassuring smile, "And when you had decided to come back I would of been ready for you… It's always been you El. No matter who I dated, they just weren't you. I knew deep down you couldn't stay away for ever." She turned on her side and stared at him. "Any way I was only giving you one more month and I was coming to find you, I decided enough was enough and I wanted my best friend back," she smiled at him. "No matter how much of a selfish prick he had been by just leaving."

"You were?"

She nodded. "I tried to push you out of mind but I couldn't… so I was going to give it to the 3 year anniversary of when you left and I was coming for you." he walked towards the bed and bent down kissing her hard.

"If you had of come for me I would of left there and then and gone with you," he said kissing her nose before standing back up and going for her meds.

Olivia gazed up at the ceiling and thought back to what had happened over the last week. When Lewis had taken her she felt like her life was over, she didn't think she was going to get out of there alive. Now here she was lying in the bed of her best friend, the person she loved more than anything. She knew they still had things to talk about but right now she couldn't of been happier. She turned her head to the door and saw Elliot stood in the doorway still naked holding a bottle of water.

"God your gorgeous," she told him as she raised herself up on her elbows and looked at him. He grinned at her and walked into the room and handed her some painkillers and the bottle of water.

"Same back at Ya Benson," he said sitting on the edge of the bed as she swallowed her meds. "Do you need your dressings done again?"

She shook her head and yawned "No they should be good till morning, I'm just really tired."

Elliot took the water from her and put it by the bed before climbing in next to her. He lay on his side facing her as she done the same, and they looked into each other's eyes.

"Do you know how many times I lay on a bed in the cribs and watched you sleep?" she asked him.

"Probably about the same amount as me," he said moving a bit of hair from her face and tucking it behind her ear. "I used to come up to wake you, but before I did I would sit and watch you sleep for a while…." He looked away from her eyes and she could see him blushing. "I even…."

"You even what?"

"I would give you a small kiss, on your cheek or forehead before I woke you," he said looking up at her. "I just needed to feel close to you, you know. I couldn't tell you how I felt, even though I really wanted to. I used to be so worried you would either wake up and catch me or one of the guys would walk in."

"I wish I had woke up and caught you, at least then I would of known we both felt the same. I used to think it was all one sided and you didn't have those feelings for me at all….. Especially after the Gitano case and everything that was said and happened."

"I hadn't meant for what I said to come out like that. My head was all over the place and I was a fucking idiot, I should of just told you then I loved you, but I was scared if you never felt the same then I would lose you as a partner and as a friend. But I did anyway, you still left me, and when you came back I was a prick to you and treat you like shit."

"I deserved it."

"No you didn't, I let my male ego get in the way, I acted like a big kid and sulked and made your life hell, when all I really wanted to do was grab you and kiss you and tell you how I felt."

"Like you did with Dani Beck?"

"What! No! No baby…. Dani was, she was a mistake, I … I … was angry with you for going." He sat up in bed and raised his knees dropping his head forward. "I should never have kissed her…. How did you know?" he asked her his voice so quiet she only just heard him.

"I had been back in the city a few days. I went to see you at the station and seen you with her….. It hurt to see you smiling and laughing with her. I left the station and went home, I was angry, upset, totally pissed off I guess, that you weren't pining for me. I had a few drinks and called the station to speak to you. Cragen told me you had all gone down for a drink. I figured where you would be so I jumped in a taxi. I was climbing out the taxi when I saw the two of you."

"I am so sorry," he whispered. "I don't know why I done it."

"You probably done it because she was cute and sexy….."

"But she wasn't you, and I so wanted it to be you." He felt her sit up in the bed and put her arm with the cast on around his shoulders.

"And I so wanted to be her."

"That kiss, it never went any further, I swear to you."

"I know, but even if it had I had no right to be angry or jealous. I left. I walked away from us because… because I knew my feeling were getting in the way of our partnership. I was scared if I stayed we would end up hating each other, I couldn't risk that."

Elliot looked over to her "Just like I done when I shot Jenna, I left because I knew the feelings I had were too strong."

Olivia rested her head on his shoulder "God we were so stupid."

"Total Fuck ups."

They looked at each other and grinned. "All those years wasted, me with Dani then going back to Kathy, you with Porter and Cassidy, me leaving….. If only we had been honest with each other."

"And what fun would that have been," she smiled nudging his shoulder. He laughed and pulled her to him and lay back down on the bed. "We are together now and that's all I care about. I don't care what happened in the past all I care about is now and the future."

"Sounds good to me baby." He pulled her close to him and held her tight, as they lay in silence for a while.

"You sure you're okay with having Eli and Lizzy over for the weekend, it won't be too much for you?"

"No… I can't wait, it will be fun," she said yawning. Elliot kissed the top of her head and reached over turning the light off. "El could you leave it on please?"

"Sure," he said turning it back on.

"Thanks, when I used to come around from the drink or drugs I was always in the dark either from being blindfolded or in the trunk of the car….."

"Ssshh it's okay, you don't need to explain, sleeping with the light on is fine."

They slept late the next day. By the time they had made love, showered, made love again, had another quick shower, finally eaten some brunch, it was time for Elliot to go and pick up Eli.

"Are you sure you're going to be okay by yourself, you could always come with me," he said as he fastened his sneakers.

"I will be fine El, besides Lizzy is coming here straight from college."

"Okay as long as you're sure," he stood up and kissed her, "I will be as quick as possible." He kissed her again harder as he pushed her against the kitchen counter. "God you taste so good," he grinned at her.

"Just go," she said pushing him to the door. "I will order Pizza for you getting back."

"I love you," he smiled as he grabbed his keys and rushed out the door.

She dropped onto the couch and picked up the phone and dialled waiting for an answer.

"Cragen, SVU."

"Hey Cap, it's Olivia," she said back to him.

"Hey, how you holding up?" he asked her. "I wanted to call but I thought it best to let you rest."

"I'm doing good, real good."

"Stabler looking after you?"

"What do you think," she laughed. "He won't let me do a thing. He is fussing like an old woman."

Cragen smiled to himself as he heard in her voice how happy she was despite what had happened to her.

"Cap, Cassidy came by last night. He was drunk and angry…."

"He didn't do anything did he?"

"Not exactly…. He said he knew there had been a cover up. He reckons he heard Fin and Nick talking. He threatened to talk, said he was going to make sure Elliot went down. But like I say he was drunk it could have been idle threats."

Cragen rubbed his hand over his head. "We have covered everything we can from this side. If he reports what he thinks he knows to any one they are going to struggle to find any evidence to prove Elliot was there. Plus they will the statements from five detectives and a respected ME to back that up. Try not to worry. Have you heard from him since?"

"No…. I kind of punched him, after Elliot had him pinned up by the throat. I think I may have broken his nose as it was the hand with the cast on." She heard Cragen laugh.

"Looks like the two of you are back to your old ways in no time…."

Olivia was distracted as there was a knock on the door. "I'm sorry Cap I need to go, there is someone at the door," she said standing up, "Probably Lizzy. Her and Eli are coming over for the weekend."

"Okay I will speak soon, and try not to worry," he said as he hung up the phone. Olivia put the phone down and checked the spy hole before she opened the door. No sooner had the door opened than Lizzy flung her arms around her.

"I'm so glad you're okay," she said hugging Olivia tight. Olivia wrapped her arms around Elliot's youngest daughter.

"I'm fine Lizzy….. I promise you," she said holding her tight. Not quite believing how big she had got, even though it had only been about 4 years since she had seen her last.

"I was so scared for you when I saw the news, I know Dad told me you were okay but I had to see for myself." Olivia felt her neck getting wet from tears. She pulled away and cupped either side of Lizzy's face the best she could.

"I swear to you, I am fine. A few cuts and bruises but nothing that won't heal, okay."

Lizzy nodded and wiped her eyes "Okay," she sniffed.

"Come on," said Olivia. "Let's find some chocolate or ice cream to help us cheer up."

"You got no chance, Dad is a total health nut at the moment….. So," she said holding up her bag. "I brought our own supplies."

Olivia laughed and took the bag from her.

"We do this every time we visit," smiled Lizzy. "He never has anything bad for you."

"Well that is going to change if I'm staying here. There is no way I am going without chocolate."

Lizzy smiled at her as they went into the kitchen.

"So ….. Do you think you will be staying here for a while?"

"I'm not sure, I can't go back to my place yet as it's still a crime scene, plus I don't really want to."

They both stood in silence for a little while.

"Liv can I ask you something, if you don't want to answer though its fine?"

"No go ahead."

"Why out of everyone you could have called that day did you call dad. Especially as you hadn't seen each other for so long. I know it was Dad who cut off all contact, we all told him he should of called you. But why call him after everything that happened."

"Because I knew he would come, and I knew he…. He would….."

"He would hurt the man for you," she said finishing for Olivia. Olivia nodded.

"Is that the only reason?"

"What do you mean?"

Lizzy look uncomfortable "I know Dad has a temper and he would hurt anyone who harmed people he cared about. I know he acts all tough and that, but he has a soft side, god he is going to kill me for this…." she said unable to look at Liv. "I came home early a few months ago from college. I didn't know dad was home and he didn't hear me come in. He was sat on his bed, the door was open and I could see he was crying he had something in his hand. I didn't want to let him know I had seen him so I went back to the door and slammed it as though I had just come in. I went straight to his room and walked in, he quickly put down what he was holding pushing it under his pillow and wiped his eyes. He then acted as though nothing was wrong and went into the bathroom. I quickly went to his pillow and pulled out what he had hid. It was a photo of the two of you and letters you had sent him when he first left, begging him to get in touch. There was also one from him to you that he hadn't sent."

Olivia sat on the stool as Lizzy talked to her.

"The letter was telling you how sorry he was and how much he missed you and wanted to see you. That he had been an idiot and he would understand if you hated him. He came out the bedroom and caught me reading it. He didn't even get angry like I thought he would, he just took it off me and sat on the bed and looked at the photo. I asked him why he hadn't sent the letter, all he said was it was too late, you had moved on and you were finally happy. That you didn't need him in your life anymore. No matter how much he loved you. I tried for months to get him to call you after that but he wouldn't….. I guess what I'm trying to say is, if you only called my dad to help with you with that guy, then tell him that now. I don't want him to fall apart again like he did when he left you and the job. If you don't have the same feelings for him as he does for you then please leave now. He will be upset and heartbroken, but I would rather it happened now rather than a few weeks down the line."

Olivia stood up and walked over to Lizzy and pulled her into a hug. "Lizzy. I love your dad more than anything, I have for so long. When I was taken your dad was the only person I was scared of never seeing again. The thought something might happen to me and I would never get the chance to tell him how I felt scared me more than what might happen to me. I called your dad because I needed him, because I have never loved anyone as much as I love him."

"Really," said Lizzy tears in her eyes.

"Really. When I made that call I didn't even know if he was still married to your mom, I just knew I had to see him…. knowing he would beat the shit out of that guy was just a bonus," she said smiling at Lizzy.

"Well that and the fact he wasn't married anymore."

"That was an extra bonus, he didn't tell me until I actually got here. Lizzy I would never hurt your dad on purpose and I am not planning on going anywhere. Despite everything that has happened the last week, I have never been happier than I have been in the last 48 hours, Now how about we make a start on that chocolate before he gets back with Eli and we have to share it."

"Daddy! Yelled Eli running to Elliot and flinging himself at his legs as Elliot came through the door.

"Hey little legs," he said picking him up and hugging. "Mommy said you have a special friend staying with you," he said after hugging Elliot.

"Erm that's right I do," said Elliot looking at Kathy who was stood by the fridge in the kitchen.

"Mommy says your special friend Livia is like a super hero cause she helped me and mommy a long time ago when I was very little."

"Err yeah she did," said Elliot smiling at Kathy.

"Why don't you go and get the picture you done for Olivia ," said Kathy as Elliot put Eli down.

"Okay Mommy," he yelled running off and up the stairs. Elliot looked at Kathy and raised his eyebrows slightly.

"What?" she asked him. "I thought I should let him know Olivia was staying with you so he didn't ask to many questions. So I told him how she saved us in that crash and how she was your friend."

Elliot walked up to Kathy and pulled her into a hug. "Thank You," he said kissing her cheek. She hugged him back.

"I can't say it's not going to be hard seeing you with her, but as I said we have moved on."

"Yeah but…"

"Elliot she saved my life and our sons. I will always be thankful and love her for that. And I know that even though you are together now, that nothing happened when we were married. I have always liked her even if it never seemed like it. That was always cause I was jealous that she spent time with you."

Elliot nodded.

"How is she doing anyway?"

"Good I guess, she has told me she is going to talk to someone, which is good."

"Has anything been said about you, and what happened?"

Elliot shook his head "No, we should be okay."

"Well I meant what I said, if anyone asks me, you were here till I got in from work."

"Thank you."

Kathy nodded as Eli ran back into the room "I got it and put it in my bag," he grinned.

"That's good," said Kathy. "Now come here and give me a kiss. Now do you remember what I told you?"

Eli nodded. "No being naughty or jumping onto Livia cause she is sore from fighting bad men, just like Superman does."

"That's right," said Kathy hugging him. "Now have a good weekend and I will see you when you get back.

Eli waved and ran to the door and flung it open and stopped on the porch waiting for Elliot. "I will always love you, you know that don't you," said Elliot taking Kathy's hand.

She looked at him with a sad smile. "I know, just not as much as you love Liv."

"I never meant to hurt you Kathy. And I swear to you nothing ever happened between me and Liv, when we worked together."

"Maybe not physically Elliot, I know you would never do that. But in here," she said tapping his heart. "You couldn't stop it happening in there."

"I'm so sorry, I tried so hard to fight what I was feeling. I left the job, left her….." he looked down unable to look at his ex-wife. This was the first time they had actually spoken properly about his feelings for Olivia. "I stayed away hoping the feelings would disappear."

"I know you did. We both tried to hang on to something that wasn't there anymore for the kids. And I also know if we hadn't had that one night when you upset and came over, then we would have been divorced years ago."

Elliot looked up at her.

"I know you only came back because of Eli and not me."

"I did try and for a while everything seemed to be okay, I was able to control how I was feeling, but they always came bubbling back up when something happened to either Liv or myself, I couldn't stop them."

"Daddy! Come on," yelled Eli getting impatient.

Elliot looked at Kathy and smiled "I best go."

"Yeah. I will see you Sunday."

Elliot leant forward and kissed her softly on the lips "See you Sunday," he said as he walked outside and grabbed hold of Eli throwing him above his head, making his son scream and laugh. Kathy leant against the door frame and sighed as it suddenly hit her, she had lost him for good.

"Hellooo!" yelled Elliot as he walked in with Eli on his back. He walked into the kitchen as Olivia quickly hid something behind her back.

"Hey Dad," said Lizzy walking over to him and kissing him on his cheek. "How's my little man?" she asked grabbing Eli off Elliot's back and tickling him making him scream.

"Daddy tell Izzy to stop!" he screamed. "I want to give Livia her picture."

Lizzy put him down on the floor and picked up his bag and her stuff. "I will put this stuff in our rooms," she said walking off.

Eli took his little day sack off his back and opened it up taking out a piece of paper.

"Hi Livia," he said quietly a little shy now he was stood in front of her.

"Hi Eli," she said back squatting down in front of him. "It's been a long time since I have seen you. You have got so big, you were only a baby when I say you last."

"I'm six now," he told her proudly.

"I know you are" she smiled. "And your so tall."

He lifted the piece of paper towards her "I drew you a picture because you're a super hero cause you saved me and mommy, and now you fight the bad guys to keep people safe. So I drew a picture of you, when you rescued me and my mom."

Olivia took the picture from Eli and felt the tears building in her eyes.

"It's beautiful Eli, thank you," she said unable to stop the tears falling. Eli looked up at his Dad not sure what to do as Olivia looked at his picture. It was her in a superman outfit flying over the top of a car, that had crashed. In the car there was a woman and a little boy. Elliot looked down at Eli and nodded. Eli looked back to Olivia and stepped forward wrapping his arms around her neck.

"I'm glad you rescued me and my mommy," he said hugging her. Olivia hugged him back.

"I'm really glad as well Eli."

Elliot quickly wiped his eyes so his son didn't see him cry. "Eli why don't you go and play for a while, till the pizza gets here then we will watch a movie," said Elliot ruffling Eli's blond hair.

"Okay," he said moving away from Olivia. He gave Olivia a quick kiss on her cheek before he ran to his room, past Lizzy who had been watching from the door way.

"I will go and play with him, Give us a shout when the pizza arrives," she smiled.

Elliot reached out to help Olivia stand up.

"You okay," he asked wiping the tears away from her cheeks.

"Yeah, what have you been telling him?"

"Me, nothing. It was all Kathy."

"Kathy?"

"Yup," he said wrapping her in his arms and pulling her to him.

"Why would she?"

"Because she has always liked you. Because she knows you're gonna be a part of his life, because she knows I love you."

He brushed his lips over hers "So what did you and Lizzy talk about?" he asked her.

"Oh this and that."

"She grilled you about us didn't she," he smiled as he kissed her again.

"Maybe a little, she is just worried I'm going to hurt you. She wanted to make sure my intentions for you were good."

"She can get a little protective," he murmured between kisses.

"Mmmmm yeah she can," she moaned into his mouth as his tongue found hers. He pushed her towards the bench his hands on her hips, as his lips pushed against hers the kiss becoming deeper and more passionate.

"You taste of chocolate," he said as they broke apart for some air, before kissing her again his hand sliding under her t-shirt and over her ribs. "God you taste so good," he said as he bit her bottom lip and his hands moved up under her top brushing the underside of her breasts sending a shiver through her, as his mouth moved from her mouth down to her neck and began to kiss and suck her skin gently.

"Oh god that feels so good," she moaned quietly as the palm of his hand brushed over her hard nipple.

"This is the first time, I wish my kids weren't just down the corridor," he said as he pushed his groin towards her and she felt his erection push into her.

"Hmmmm and why is that?"

"Cause I really want to rip your clothes off and fuck you over the counter," he whispered to her crashing his lips hard against hers.

"AHEM!" said Lizzy from behind them making them jump apart and Elliot quickly sliding his hands from under her top. Elliot quickly spun round moving Olivia in front of him to hide the bulge in his pants after their make out session.

Lizzy was stood with Eli in front of her covering his eyes. She removed her hands and they all stared at each other.

"You were supposed to be ordering Pizza for tea, not eating each other," she grinned at them, making both of them turn a shade of red.

"Urgh Daddy, you're not supposed to kiss girls, its yuck," said Eli pulling a face.

Elliot and Olivia smiled as he looked at them in disgust. "Oh it is, is it?" said Elliot.

"Yeah, I keep telling Lizzy's boyfriend that when they baby sit me, it looks horrible it's like he is trying to swallow her.

"ELI!" screamed Lizzy as she pushed him away from her gently.

"Well it is," he said backing away from her. "And you make all these sloppy noises its horrible," he grinned.

"Oh really," said Elliot raising his eyebrows and looking at Lizzy. "And what boyfriend would this be."

"I swear to god you little rug rat, you better run before I string you up by your toes," she told Eli as he ran towards his bedroom screaming as Lizzy chased after them.

Elliot and Olivia burst out laughing. "You best go and calm things down before your apartment is turned into a major crime scene," said Olivia. "And I will order Pizza."

Two hours later they were all sat on the couch together watching Monsters Inc. chosen by Eli. Empty pizza boxes, chocolate wrappers and ice cream cartons were scattered on the table. Eli had climbed between Elliot and Olivia and was snuggled up to Olivia as she wrapped her good arm around her. Elliot had his arm over the back of the couch and was gently playing with Olivia's hair as they all sat giggling at the film.

There was a knock on the door making them all jump.

"You expecting anyone?" asked Olivia looking at the clock it was just after seven.

"Nope,"said Elliot standing up.

"It could be Dickie, he said he might pop over before he went to a party and you know what he is like for forgetting his keys," said Lizzy reaching over and grabbing her soda.

Elliot pulled the door open expecting to see his son stood there.

"Elliot Stabler," said Lt Tucker.

"What the hell is going on, what you doing here Tucker?" asked Elliot.

Olivia sat up right and carefully moved Eli off her when she heard Elliot. Tucker looked at the office in uniform stood next to him. The young office turned to Elliot with a set of handcuffs and wrapped one around his wrist spinning Elliot so he was against the door.

"Elliot Stabler, you are under arrest for the murder of William Lewis…."

I know I'm bad, but I couldn't have it all sweet and nice now could I LOL.
