Olivia woke up in her bed, to the sound of water running. "Why are you up so early?" Olivia placed one of her pillows over her eyes to block the bathroom water.

Alex was brushing her teeth as she looked at Olivia. She smiled at her girlfriend still not wanting to get up in the mornings. She made her way to the comfortable bed. "Because I feel like I need to go for a run this morning." Olivia grunted through the pillow, "I was hoping you would join me."

Olivia pushed the pillow off her face to look at her favorite blue eyes. "Why would I want to run when it's comfortable in bed." She reaching out for Alex's hand.

Alex leaned forward to play with Olivia's soft short hair. "And that's why I'm going, I don't want to get out of shape."

Olivia smirked, "I thought we were doing a pretty good job at cardio."

"I have a marathon to run soon, and we haven't ran together in a while. Because we want to stay in bed and make love." Alex hovered her lips over Liv's.

Olivia did enjoy her runs with Alex, "But I love, loving you."

"Come running with me." Alex whispered against Olivia's lips.

Liv played with Alex's ponytail. "Okay."

Alex finished the good morning kiss, "Thank you."

Olivia rose from the sheets. Alex admire the brunette stretching from her slumber. "You are still insane to think that 6am is okay to wake up." She scoffed looking at the clock, and making her way to the bathroom.

Alex walked to the bureau to open the drawer she has claimed. "You know you love doing it."

"But we're off today we should be sleeping in." She whined.

"It's nice to get sweaty while it's cool." She got changed into her jogging outfit she kept at Liv's apartment. "Hey, do you… umm... want to catch a matinee today."

Olivia sip out her toothpaste, "Do you want to invite Abbie or El?"

Alex walked to the edge of the door, "No, I want to go with just you." Olivia gave Alex a surprised look. "What?"

Olivia stepped closer, holding her hand. "Nothing." Olivia liked that Alex is wanting to do the outing.

"'Friends' can just go to the movies."Alex defended her idea.

"Ok, then let's go to a show," Olivia smiled. "We better get sweaty."

Olivia enjoyed the run Alex convinced her to go on. They had brunch at their normal restaurant, before getting changed for the movies.

"Do you have an idea of what you want to see?" Olivia asked Alex as they stood in line at the theater.

"I want to watch Moulin Rouge." Alex answered.

"A musical really?" Olivia questioned.

Alex wasn't happy with the tone Olivia gave her, "Fine then what do you want to watch?"

"Easy Tomb Raider." Olivia stated.

"And how is that better than my movie?" She wasn't happy was disagreeing on the movie.

"Because we have Angelina Jolie is a gorgeous badass woman with guns in a movie with action." Olivia stated knowing that she rather see that. "And yours is a romantic musical."

"But don't you just want to escape from action packed life into a nice movie filled with romance." Alex's blue eyes smiled at Olivia's brown eyes.

"Because I don't need to escape to find romance." Olivia looked away from Alex to prevent her to kiss her or play with her hair. "So what do you want to watch Shrek or something if you don't want watch Tomb Raider." Olivia was enjoying to poke at Alex's nerves.

"Yeah, because that's what I want to watch, a children's movie."

They stepped up to the window, "Hi, what can I do for you?"

Alex looked at Olivia to make the decision. "Two for Moulin Rouge please."

Alex was shocked with the choice. She placed her hand over Olivia's hand and kissed Liv's cheek to reward Olivia with out thinking. "Thank you."

Olivia blushed at the kiss but happy with it. "You're welcome, let's go." Olivia received her change and the tickets.

They walked into the theater to get concessions. "Do you want to splurge for some twizzlers?" Alex smiled as they waited in the long line.

"Sure I see the twizzlers with snow caps." Olivia agreed on the junk food.

"Okay we are gonna need to schedule a work out tonight, to burn off all this crap we are about to eat." Alex cocked her eyebrow at Liv.

Olivia smirked, "I can't work out tonight, since I was woken up early today."

"That's too bad…"

"Alexandra," an older voice greeted.

Alex was afraid to look behind her, knowing the owner of the voice. "Lena, hey what are you doing here?" She took a step away from Olivia.

"I am taking the kids to see Shrek." Lena Petrovsky stated. "Detective Benson." She acknowledged Olivia.

"Is Uncle Bill here too?" She didn't really want to know the answer to that.

"Yes, he is coming." Lena stared at Liv. "What did you girls decide on." She returned the conversation to Alex.

"We are going to see..." Olivia started.

"Tomb Raider, never could resist a female empowerment role." Alex informed the woman who has watched her grow up since a teenager.

"I'm gonna get the snacks, what kind of drink do you want?" Olivia felt she wasn't wanted in the conversation.

"Okay, diet please thank you."

Lena touched Alex's arm, "Have you told Lewin?" She caught Alex at a loss of words. "I know what I saw Alexandra."

"No,"

"You are a sharp young ADA, top of your class and doing extremely well being in Special Victims. You have a great political path or a path to be the DA. You aren't going to screw that up with being in a relationship with a detective." Lena was giving Alex another lecture that she has heard numerous times. "What about your parents?"

Alex quickly looked at Lena, "They don't know anything right now." She needed her surrogate aunt to stop prying.

"Then just disclose and you'll be fine."

"Yeah to sort through appeals, that's a great path." Alex snapped back knowing that she doesn't want to do appeals.

"Then stop seeing her, because you don't want the wrong person to see you kissing her." She advised Alex. "What's more important your career or her?"

Alex fought back her tears as her heart sank, hearing someone else telling her that has been in the back of her mind for months. "I can't answer that."

"Hey kiddo," Her uncle patted her on the back.

"Uncle Bill how have you been."

"Fantastic, I went golfing with your dad last week he is looking good." He smiled.

Olivia returned to Alex with the snacks. Alex took some of the pressure off her hands. "Uncle Bill this my friend Detective Olivia Benson." Alex introduce.

"Nice to meet you. Alex the movie starts in about five minutes." Olivia tried get Alex out of the conversation.

"Yes, I'll see you later." Alex walked with Olivia to their theater.

Olivia could see Alex's expression on her face wasn't good. It was an over thinking Alex. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah," She smiled at Olivia even though her heart was ripping. "You are gonna have gonna have I promise." She informed Liv opening the door for her.
