Love and Danger
A/N- Sorry I haven't updated. I honestly just haven't had the motivation to write.
Chapter 23
Elliot looked at Olivia in shock. Had she really just said she would marry him? He looked into her eyes, searching for any sign of doubt or fear, but all he saw was love and joy. He slowly pulled out a little black box from his coat pocket and held it out to her.
"I wasn't sure if you would ever say yes, but I knew if you did, I wanted you to have this one." he said with tears in his eyes as he watched her open the box. Olivia gasped when she saw the beautiful diamond ring. She looked at him in awe. Elliot smiled at her and took the ring and slid it on her finger. "It is a family heirloom. My great-grandfather gave it to my great-grandmother and ever since then each Stabler gives it to the woman he loves more than anything. I could never give it to Kathy because I never truly loved her, but with you, I feel complete. I feel like I am finally home. I love you so much Olivia Benson."
Olivia looked into Elliot's eyes and smiled. "I love you too, Elliot. So much." she said before pressing her lips to his. They continued their passionate kiss and nearly forgot that the rain was soaking them or the fact that Olivia was in danger.

Fin and Munch were at the stationhouse working on a new case when they saw Cragen exit his office with a concerned look on his face. They immediately stood up and watched as he warily walked over to them.
"I think Merritt Rook is alive. I also think that he and Richard White are working together." Cragen said solemnly.
Both Fin and Munch looked at him with questioning looks. Finally, after several moments of silence, Munch broke the silence. "What makes you say that?"
Cragen looked at him warily. "The fact that I just got an email signed by both of them saying that Olivia has a number of days left before she faces a violent rape and death."

Elliot and Olivia had finally broken apart and headed to their hotel room to change into dry clothes. They had called Cragen and left him a message saying they were taking the rest of the day off. They were currently sitting on the bed, wrapped in eachothers arms.
"You know we will have to tell Cragen about our relationship." Olivia said.
"I have a feeling him and the squad already know about our relationship."
"What makes you say that?"
"They have all told me at some point over the past month that they knew I love you. Someone doesn't just say that."
"Ok. Well we should still tell him and the squad. Make it completely official."
Elliot grinned. "I don't think it can get anymore official. But we could always try." he said as he rolled on top of her. Both of them groaned with disapproval when they heard Olivia's phone ring. Elliot rolled off of her and watched Olivia as she answered the phone.
Olivia's face paled as she heard the short message. The voice had clearly been altered. This was the call of the end. She hung up and looked at Elliot's worried face.
"What did they say?" he asked. Olivia looked at him with fearful eyes full of tears.
"Three days left, detective Benson."
