Mr and Mrs

Chapter Five

Liv awoke before her alarm like she usually did but everything was different. She could smell Elliot, she could feel him beneath her, his arms around her, but she could also feel him pressing against her. Her leg was thrown over his lap and her knee was pressing against him, or rather pressing against his half hard junk.
"Liv? Are you awake?" She felt her body freeze.
"Yes"
"Sorry, I was going to move you but I didn't want to wake you"
"It's okay. I'm sorry. I'm not used to sleeping next to anyone" She awkwardly shifted, careful not to poke, prod or jab him anywhere.
"Why is this so damn awkward?" Elliot laughed.
"Because you have an erection" She teased.
"Morning wood actually" He shot back, earning a light laugh from her.
"Can we change the subject from your boner please?"
"What do you want to talk about instead?"
"Well, we need to call Rita over and the others. We need to work out a plan" He nodded.
"So, no honeymoon phase?" He teased, earning a roll of her eyes before she headed over to the bathroom.
"I'm going to take a shower. Feel free to make breakfast for your wife and stepson, Mr Benson" She teased before she stepped into the bathroom and closed the door behind her.

El had made them all breakfast before he switched with Liv and took a shower. The others arrived and Liv let them in, all of them noticing the lack of pillows and blankets on the couch.
"So where did Stabler sleep last night?" Fin asked, his eyebrows raising slightly.
"You enjoy your wedding night, Cap?" Bruno smirked.
"My couch is awful to sleep on" Was all Liv replied.
"Did you build a pillow wall between you?" Jet snorted.
"We're grown adults and don't let Noah hear you" Just on cue Noah ran out into the living room with his backpack in hand.
"Bye mom"
"Bye, have a good-" The front door slammed behind him as he left.
"So, was Stabler good to you?" Bruno teased, earning a glare from Liv.
"Nothing happened Bruno and if you want to keep your job you need to stop asking" Liv ordered as Elliot appeared, wearing nothing more than a towel.
"Liv, where did you put my clothes?"
"Third drawer down and I hung up some of your shirts in the closet" Liv didn't miss the surprised look on his face "I'm not letting you live out of a bag" He nodded in thanks before he moved back into her bedroom, closing the door behind him. Liv noticed the look on Rita's face "What?"
"Aren't you just the picture of domesticity" Liv heard the sharpness of her tone.
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You haven't told him, have you?" Liv froze "He wasn't here when it happened, have you told your husband?" Liv scoffed.
"Really? You didn't want to have this conversation before you told me to marry him?"
"You didn't have to do it, but it helps his case and you know it. What happens when this goes too far?"
"It won't"
"Based on the kiss the two of you shared at the courthouse and the after party I'm inclined to say otherwise" Liv ran a hand through his hair "If he finds out-"
"Then everything goes to shit" She bit "He has to ask, that's the rule" She sighed.
"And if he doesn't ask?" Liv lifted her eyes to meet Rita's.
"Then he won't find out from me"
"Your loyalty Olivia, it knows no bounds"
"My loyalty is earned through actions, you should know that" The door to Olivia's bedroom opened and Elliot stepped out.
"Nice to see you fully clothed" Rita quipped as Liv moved onto the arm of the chair so that Elliot could sit.
"What are we talking about?" Elliot asked, ignoring her.
"I don't know, I got lost around-"
"Bruno, shut up" Liv ordered.
"What do you already know?" Rita asked him.
"Micah Johnson is the dead kid, he was beaten shortly before his death, he died of a gunshot wound" Elliot shrugged.
"El didn't beat him"
"And how do you know this?" Rita asked her.
"I've cleaned his bloody fists too many times to count. He didn't beat the kid"
"I don't even know the kid"
"What else?" Rita asked.
"He had my DNA on a coffee cup"
"Seriously?" She scoffed "Is that is?"
"Are you saying that I married him for nothing?" Liv teased.
"No, we still need you to testify in his defence. But by the sounds of it this detective doesn't have much of a case. Do you know him Liv?"
"No, I don't work with homicide too much, they see missing panties and they send it to us as fast as they can"
"He brought up my history of violence so he's definitely got a vendetta against me" Elliot added.
"Then I'll find out what it is, luckily for you you have the best criminal defence lawyer there is"
"Good for your skell clients" He shot back.
"El, she's only helping you because I asked" Liv reminded him.
"Right, I'm sorry" He apologized to Rita before he turned back to Liv "How did you make friends with a criminal defence attorney?" Rita and Fin waited with baited breath to hear her answer.
"A case" She admitted before she turned back to Rita "When does the trial begin?"
"A week from today" Rita announced as she rose to her feet "So, act coupley and try not to screw this up"
"Is that aimed at me or him?" Liv smiled.
"Both of you. Be cute, loving, just don't get into any fights or threaten to hurt, mame or kill someone" Liv scoffed.
"That's harder than you think"
