Chapter 13
Elliot woke up and lay staring at the ceiling then smiled to himself when he realised where he was and who was lying next to him. He rolled onto his side and wrapped his arm around her pulling her back to him her back against his chest. He nuzzled his face into her neck and kissed her gently. She didn't move her breathing remaining gentle and even. He moved his hand over her stomach and lightly ran his fingers up over her breasts slightly brushing over her nipples. She squirmed against him.
"Hmmm morning baby" she sighed.
"Morning" he replied between the kisses he was now placing over her shoulders.
"Hmm El that feels good" she moaned.
A short while later They lay next to each other panting.
"Christ Stabler…. I thought you said you weren't all that experienced in the bedroom despite having kids" she laughed "I think you just broke me"
He looked at her with a cocky grin on his face "well you know we done enough to have the kids but I always had these things I wanted to try, but Kathy would never even think about it"
"Well she missed out cause that was amazing" Elliot moved forwards and kissed her.
"Your pretty amazing yourself" he said rubbing his nose against her. "Are you hungry?"
"Yeah but I haven't got anything in"
"How about we get up get dressed and head out for breakfast"
She pouted and sulked "But that would mean getting dressed and leaving the bed"
He laughed at her sulky face "I know, but we can't now base our whole relationship around sex"
"Sure we can"
Elliot grinned and jumped up off the bed "Come on" he said "Shower then breakfast, and then I are taking you away for a few days" he said disappearing into the bathroom.
"What …away… where the hell we going" she asked jumping up; she heard the shower turn on. Elliot stuck his head out the door, smiling at her, "Get ready and you will see just pack a few casual clothes that's all you will need, oh and beach clothes" he said disappearing back into the bathroom and into the shower.
After an hour in the shower they finally dragged themselves out the apartment and down to the car. Olivia ran into the coffee shop and got coffees and muffins to go.
"So you gonna tell me where we are going?"
"I thought we could go and see the twins at my Moms for a few days, get away from the city for a while"
Olivia smiled at him "Sounds great"
"Yeah they thought so when I told them, Kat and Maureen are going to meet us there later tonight"
"It will be good for you to spend some time with them after everything that has happened this week"
Elliot nodded "Yeah, there have been quite a few changes. I know what Kathy done was wrong but I don't want the kids to hate her, she is their mother. I know they are pissed but I really hope they give her a chance"
"You are amazing do you know that" she said taking his hand " That women lied to you all for over a year tore your family apart and yet here you are worried about your kids not wanting to see her"
"Liv what she did was wrong but I can't help thinking if she hadn't done what she had I would still be in a marriage I hated, with a woman I didn't love. But thanks to her and her lies I finally got the courage up to tell you how I felt" he looked over to her " if it wasn't for the fact she lied about Eli…" a tear escaped from his eye.
"El pull over" she said. He pulled into a space at the side of the road and wiped his eyes. Olivia took her seatbelt off and moved over to him taking him in her arms.
"Ssshh Baby"
"I just love him so much and the thought that he isn't mine kills me inside" he sniffed "But I can't lose him I can't just turn my back on him, I have been there for him since he was born I won't let her take him away from me"
"You know El… Kathy lied so much over the last year about everything, there is a chance Eli could be yours, get a DNA test done find out for definite instead of taking Kathy's word for it"
Elliot nodded "Yeah your right, I will get it sorted I need to know, but even if I find out he definitely isn't I'm still fighting for joint custody"
"And I will be by your side all the way…. Now let's get going Its too hot to be sat in a car I want to get in that sea and have a swim"
Elliot leaned in and kissed her "I love you" he said before putting his seatbelt back on and pulling into the traffic. Finally they left the city behind and followed the coast; they had the windows open and the sun beamed down.
"I can't believe how hot it is, it's great to be away from the city I can't remember the last time I got out the city, I was always too busy at work…I guess I never really had a reason to get away, I never had anyone to go with" she said looking out the window.
"Well you do now….. I think we should make a deal, at least once a month we put aside a few days and get away, life's too short to just work all the time, plus you're gonna have 4 kids to entertain" he grinned.
"Sounds good to me"
"Look Liv about my Mom….she isn't …she…."
"El I know" she said dropping her head "I have met her"
Elliot looked over at her puzzled "When?"
"After Kat was arrested…I went to see her to…."
Elliot interrupted her "Maybe god remembered how cute you were as a carrot" he said remembering what Olivia had said in court that day. "You went to my Mom and asked her to help"
Olivia nodded "I'm sorry, I know I went behind your back and I never told you but she asked me not to, and as long as Kat got the help she needed …." She looked at Elliot trying to see if he was angry or not. He just stared at the road ahead. He pulled the car over to the side of the road and got out.
Olivia followed him and stood by his side looking out over the ocean.
"Are you mad at me?" she asked.
He shook his head "No Liv… how can I be mad at you. You saved my daughter from going to prison. You done what me and Kathy couldn't do" he turned to face her. "You are always saving my family. Me, Kat, Eli even Kathy you have always been there for us" Olivia shrugged not knowing what to say. Elliot pulled her into a hug "You are fucking amazing" he said holding her tight.
"Yeah well you have an amazing family"
"No Liv we have an amazing family, they might not be your kids by blood but you have been there for them for the last 10 years even if they and I never realised it" they stood hugging each other at the side of the road, Olivia trying her best not to cry. "Come on "he said pulling away from her "Let's get up there" they climbed back in the car and drove off.
"At least I don't need to explain about my Mom now" he said "You already know how nutty she can be"
Olivia hit his leg "Stop it El, she is great"
"You know, we have only started talking again recently, she got in touch after Kat's case, I can't help to wonder now if that was something to do with you as well"
"Well I did tell her she had a great son, but he was pig headed and stubborn, and to not give up on him"
"Well thank you because we have talked more in the last 2 months more than we had in last 3 years."
They drove the rest of the way in silence looking over at each other every now and then. Olivia couldn't believe they were finally together, after fighting their feelings for so long they now had nothing in their way, she couldn't remember ever being so happy.
"Here we are" said Elliot pulling up to the house. It was a wooden one story beach house right on the sand.
"Wow Elliot its great" she said climbing out the car and taking a deep breath.
"Yeah Mom bought it after Dad died she needed to get away from the city. She loves it here it helps her relax and she says it's great for her painting" he took hold of her hand and started to walk towards the front door, Olivia pulled back.
"Liv what's wrong?" he asked as she pulled her hand away.
"Maybe we shouldn't hold hands" she said " Your Mom has just been told you and Kathy have split maybe it's a bit soon to be letting everyo….." before she could finish Elliot's lips were on hers as he wrapped his arms around her pulling her to him. She melted into his arms and kiss.
"Liv I have denied my feeling for you for years there is no way I am hiding them any longer. I love you and I don't care who knows, they will just have to accept it" he said leaning his fore head on hers.
"I love you to El….I just don't want your kids or your Mom thinking I took advantage of you when you were upset"
Elliot smiled "Took advantage of me. If I remember rightly you were the one who refused to do anything till I was divorced, you are always looking out for me, and you would never take advantage of me"
He kissed her again this time he felt her kiss him back as her hands stroked his neck.
"Hey get a room" said a voice from behind them. They sprung apart and turned to see Dickie and Lizzy stood watching them both with big grins on their faces.
"Hand it over" said Lizzy to Dickie.
Dickie went in his pocket and handed over a $20 bill. Elliot and Olivia just watched the exchange.
"What's going on?" asked Elliot his arm around Olivia's waste as he stood looking at his two kids.
"Dickie said you would bring Olivia with you, so you could take your relationship a step further. I said you would already be at that stage and judging by the make out session we just witnessed I won" she grinned.
Olivia smiled but felt her cheeks blush. Elliot didn't know what to say.
"Grandma is out the back" said Dickie breaking the silence "she has been fussing around since you called saying you and Livvy were coming up. She is also pissed as hell with Mom, after Maureen called and told us what happed at your Lawyers, how could Mom do that Dad?"
"I don't know Son… we will talk about it later when your sisters get here okay" Dickie nodded and they all walked into the house and through to the kitchen.
"Mom were here" shouted Elliot. His Mom came running into the room and hugged Elliot.
"How are you son?"
"I'm good Mom" he said "I promise" he added seeing the worried look on her face.
"And you must be Olivia" she said pretending to have never met her before. Elliot smiled at the act she was trying to put on.
"Mom I know" he said "Liv told me about what you did for Kat" he laughed.
"Oh right. Well in that case. Nice to see you again Olivia" she said hugging Olivia "I knew you were the one for my son" she whispered into Olivia's ear "I knew as soon as I met you"
"Thank you" said Olivia.
"Right I have put you two in the large guest room….. I take it you are sharing a bed"
Olivia and Elliot both blushed "Mom really" he said looking at Dickie and Lizzy who were trying not to laugh.
His mom just looked at him "I will show Olivia to the room while you get your bags from the car. When you're ready join me out the back for a drink and something to eat"
After being shown to the room Elliot returned with their bags they were finally left alone.
"Your Mom is really something"
"Yeah don't remind me" he laughed.
"I'm going to jump in the shower to freshen up" said Olivia as she began to undress. Elliot stood and watched her as she slowly dropped her clothes to the floor.
"Do you need you back washed?" he asked with a grin on his face.
"You know what I think I do" she grinned back as he followed her into the shower.
"You okay?" he asked her "I didn't hurt you did I " he looked worried as she turned round to face him, after the quick hard sex they had just had.
"No El that was amazing just what I needed" she said putting her arms around his neck. "I just hope your Mom or the kids didn't hear us" she said as she began to suck on his lower neck.
"Hmmm hopefully they are all out the back" he sighed as she sucked and licked making her mark on him. "Liv you do realise it's as hot as hell and I won't be wearing a shirt" he smirked. She quickly stopped and looked at his neck.
"Shit!" she said looking at the mark she had left "I'm so sorry I completely forgot and…"
"It's fine" he laughed turning off the shower "I'm sure the kids will love embarrassing the both of us over it" he grinned.
"I don't know what is wrong with me" she said "I'm never like this with anyone. I feel like …..Like a…"
"Horny teenager" he laughed as he thought back to his thoughts earlier.
"Yeah" she laughed.
"I know how you feel Liv, I'm exactly the same. We will just have to try and behave ourselves around the kids and my Mom" he grinned at her. "Now come on let's get some clothes on I could murder a beer" he said climbing out the shower.
"El….. You don't have any regrets do you, about us?" she asked him wrapping a towel around her. He walked over to her and put his hands on her hips.
"Olivia Benson the only thing I have regrets about is waiting so long to tell you how I feel, okay. So stop worrying and let's just enjoy ourselves, whilst we are here. Because when we get back we have DNA testing, court cases not to mention work to sort out" he told her. "You don't have any regrets do you?"
"God no, I have never been happier" she said pulling him into a kiss. A bang on the door interrupted them.
"Dad, Grandma said to put Olivia down and get yourselves outside" shouted Dickie through the door.
"Come on lets go" Elliot smiled at her.
