"Hey Lex!" Olivia smiled as she watched Alex walking towards her.

"Hey Liv!" She hugged her friend and sat down across from her.

"How are you?" She asked sipping her coffee slowly.

"I'm doing alright, but the real question is. How are you doing with Elliot?" She gave a suggestive smile.

"We are better, we made up" Olivia blushed and look down at her coffee, stirring it with her spoon.

"Oh, you 'made up'" Alex smiled wide at the look of shock on her face.

"No! Alex! No! We are just friends" she huffed.

"Is that what you want to be? I mean geeze Olivia you two act like a couple! You sleep in the same bed and you are both very touchy feely with each other" Alex argued.

"We do not!" She said defensively

"Are you kidding me! Come on Olivia"

"We both sleep better in the same bed. I don't have nightmares. It's just a kind friendly gesture. He does not touch me that much"

"Does too!"

"Does not!"

"Liv I'm a lawyer you are going to lose this argument!" Alex said with a smug smiled.

"You are too much lex" Olivia said laughing. Her phone began to ring.

"Hello?" She laughed as Alex made a face, she knew it was Elliot.

Hey! Listen I feel really bad to ask you this, I know you took the day off. The nurse just called me, Maureen is sick. Can you go and get her and take her home? I have a really bad case I'll be out late.

"Of course El,"

Thank you so much Liv

"You're welcome."

Bye

Olivia smiled as she locked her phone and set it on the table. She slowly looked up towards Alex.

"Of course El" she mocked smiling.

"Oh stop it!" Olivia said reaching over and smacking her arm.

"Ouch! I'm hurt!" She whined.

"Get over it! I have to go get Maureen, i'll see you later" she said getting up.

"Oh and Olivia?" Olivia turned around quickly and Alex continued "I do know, that whether you feel it, he does"

Olivia gave a small smiled before turning around and heading to go and get Maureen from school.

The whole time she was driving to the home she was thinking about what Alex had said 'whether you feel it or not, he does' what the hell was that suppose to mean! She couldn't very well come out and say that she liked him! She would ruin what they had. He was her best friend and she loved his little girl. She couldn't risk that. As she pulled into the parking Lot of her apartment complex. She decided that she would stuff her feelings into a tiny box and lock it away. She smiled when she looked back and saw Maureen fast asleep.

She got into his apartment with Maureen on her hip and their bags in her arm. She dropped the bags and carried Maureen into the kitchen. She started to wake up as Olivia sat her at a chair.

"You want some soup honey?" Olivia asked as she took of her coat and hung hers and Maureen's in the closet.

"Yes please" she murmured still half asleep.

After Maureen had her soup she went into her room and changed into her pajamas. She walked and sat on the couch. Olivia walked out if the kitchen with two cups of hot chocolate. She went and out in Maureen's favorite movie and sat down, Maureen snuggled into her side and they watched the movie together. By then end they were both fast asleep.

Olivia jumped awake when she heard her phone start to ring. She looked down to see Maureen fast asleep on her chest. She ran her fingers through the young girls hair as she answered her phone.

"Hello?"

Do you know an Elliot Stabler?

"Yes, is he okay?" She asked nervously.

Remotely, he's here at my bar, and is too drunk to drive. Can you come and get him?

"Of course, what's the name of your bar?"

McGlynns, I cut him off he just kind of rambling now.

"Thank you" she murmured before hanging up the phone. She huffed and looking down at Maureen. She slowly got up lifting Maureen with her. She slipped Maureen's coat on and then her own. Maureen stood half asleep. Olivia grabbed her keys and picked Maureen up before heading to the bar.

"I'm sorry honey" Olivia murmured as she took Maureen out of the car and carried her into the loud bar. Maureen clung to Olivia as she wove in and out of people. Finally she reached the bar.

"You must be Olivia" the bartender said. Olivia nodded her head and he pointed down at the end of the bar.

"Elliot?" Olivia asked as she walked up to him.

"Liv? Why are you here" he slurred.

"I was called to come and pick you up." She said growing angrier by the minute. He was clearly very drunk. Something happened to upset him.

He said something inaudible before standing up. He swayed a bit before gaining his footing. He almost fell and grabbed on to Olivia.

"Jesus Elliot" she huffed as she tried to regain her balance. She took his hand and walked out of the bar. They got into the car and Maureen fell back asleep. No one spoke on the way back to the apartment.

Once they were in the apartment Olivia went and put Maureen to bed, she walked back out to see Elliot on the couch with his head in his hands. She walked over and sat down next to him.

"El?" She asked rubbing his back.

He looked up at her, she saw the tears in his eyes. He had been crying. Any and all anger she had towards him melted away instantly.

"What happened" she asked quietly. He said nothing but pulled her into a hug. He snuggled into her chest and let the tears fall. She lied back on the couch and let his head rest on her chest. She ran her fingers through his short hair as he cried. He was laying on top of her, but she didn't care he needed her and should would be there for him.

"Poor baby girl" he murmured.

"What baby?" Olivia asked

"They just killed her, no mercy"

"El, what are you talking about?" He looked up into her eyes and she saw all the pain he was feeling.

"The case we had. The baby girls parents didn't want her and so they drowned her." He said just before more tears fell. Olivia felt the tears gather in her eyes before they fell she started crying too, it was horrible what this poor amazing man had to go through everyday.

"Shhh El, it's okay. I'm here" she soothed as she kissed his forehead and rubbed his back.

She realized he was at the bar to try and drink away the pain he was feeling. She looked down and watched as the tears slowly faded. He looked nothing like her Elliot.

"El?" She whispered.

He looked up at her and she almost started crying again. The pain and fear was obvious to see in his eyes and it killed her.

"What can I do?" She asked.

"I want to feel something, God to see that little baby girl, on that autopsy table." He murmured tightening his hold on her waist.

"I have and idea" she said pushing him up and talking his hand leading him to Maureen's room. he swayed as they stood there so she wrapped her arm around him. They stood watching Maureen sleep. Elliot let out a content sigh.

"Feel better?" She asked after they had stood there for a few minutes.

"Yeah, thank you"

"It will be okay Elliot, you put them behind bars for what they did to that little girl. You will be okay. I'm here and I won't leave you" she said kissing his cheek.

Elliot pulled her close and looked into her eyes.

"You are amazing Olivia" he breathed.

She snuggled into his arms. His arms tightened around her waist. He didn't want to let go, even if his life depended on it. He had discovered that she is his lifeline. He depended on her just as much as she depended on him.

"I don't know what id do without you" he murmured kissing her hair.

"Well, you won't ever have to find out." She smiled up at him.

At that moment he wanted nothing more than to kiss her, but he was drunk and he didn't want to risk anything. He could easily blame it on the alcohol, but she mattered too much to him. He couldn't risk anything. Instead of kissing her he spoke softly.

"I'm going to go shower. Go to bed, you need a good night sleep."

"Mmmkay" she murmured releasing him and walking into the bedroom. He watched her walk away and smiled.

Olivia walked into his room and quickly stripped herself of her clothes and went into his drawer and took out one of his T-Shirts and slipped it on. She unhooked her bra and slid it off. She looked at the picture he had on dresser. One caught her eye. It was a picture of her and Maureen. They were both fast asleep on the couch. Elliot must if taken it recently. She smiled to herself. She took one last look at the picture then crawled into bed.

When he got out of the shower He felt a lot better. He wouldn't have a bad hangover. He walked into his room as saw Olivia asleep. She look beautiful. He walked over to his dresser and saw Olivia's bra on the floor. He's breath hitched. She was obviously trying to kill him. He slid on some boxers and sweats, it was to hot in his room to wear a shirt. He slowly walked over and slid into bed.

Olivia felt Elliot get into bed and she snuggled into his side. She intertwined their legs and wrapped her arm around his waist. She couldn't Get comfy so she kept shifting.

Elliot felt Olivia snuggle into him. His breath hitched. He felt her breast push into his chest. She kept moving around, she obviously couldn't get comfortable.

"You okay Liv?" He asked quietly.

"I can't get comfortable" she huffed.

"Come here" he said pulling her whole body on top of him. She put her head on his chest and grabbed his hand intertwining their fingers. Her legs fell In between his.

"Better?" He asked.

"Yeah, you are just so comfy" she murmured into his chest. She kissed his chest and smiled.

"Goodnight Liv" he smiled kissing her head.

"Night El"

Next morning

Olivia woke up, it was Saturday morning and Elliot had off work. She smiled when she thought about it. She felt a warm sensation on her breast and moaned at the feeling. She felt him squeeze her breast and toy with her nipple. She arched her back and moaned again. He was running his hand over her breasts.

"Elliot?" She asked breathless.

No response

"El?" She asked taking his hand off her chest and turned around. Elliot was asleep with a smile in his face.

"Liv" he moaned.

Olivia's mouth dropped open. He was dreaming, about her. She was so shocked, she stilled.

"Elliot?" She asked again, running her hand down his cheek. He stirred slowly waking up. He opened his eyes to see Olivia flushed.

This first thing that came to mind was that she had heard him dreaming about her. He gave her a small smile.

"Morning Liv"

"Morning" she murmured not looking in his eye.

"Is everything Okay?" He asked nervously.

She stayed quiet for a moment. Debating on whether or not to tell him what he did. He was just dreaming. It was nothing so she decided against it for now.

"Yeah, are you feeling better?" She asked.

"Much, thank you again Olivia" he smiled taking her hand.

"No problem, But next time please come home instead of going to the bar. I was so worried about you" she confessed.

"I will, I'm sorry" he leaned his head against hers.

"You better be" she mumbled.

"Did anything happen this morning?" He asked suddenly.

"W-Why do you ask" she stumbled on her words.

"Just curious" he said, he needed to know she heard him.

"Well, you kind of mumbled my name... I think you were sleeping." She said quietly he almost missed it.

"I did" he gulped.

"And-" he cut her off.

"There's more?" He groaned.

"I uh woke up to your hand on m-my breast" she finally managed out.
