One Thing Led to Another

Chapter 1: One Night Stand

It was a late Friday night and everyone had gone home except for Liv and Elliot.

Elliot looked over at Liv, she was the woman he loved, she was everything he wanted. He wanted nothing more to be able to just kiss her and be able to spend the rest of his life with her. But he didn't think she even liked him like that. He knew he should tell her sometime soon, what better way than to tell her when he's drunk.

It's easier and he knew if she didn't love him, then he could just drink the pain away. He made up his mind, he was going to ask her to go for drinks. "Liv." he said pulling her out of her concentration "Yeah?" She looked at him. Those brown eyes, he could easily get lost in them and just stare at them all day.

"Uh...do you want to get drinks?" she gave him a small soft smile "Sounds like a plan! Let's go." She got up and grabbed her purse and jacket. He smiled and got up, they left and went to a bar near the precinct.

They sat in a booth in the far back away from everyone. They sat in a comfortable silence for a little just enjoying being out of the precinct and taking time to themselves. Liv looked at Elliot, she loved him, she was in love with him. But she knew it would never work, he was her best friend, her work partner. Nothing more.

He looked up at her, she looked into his ocean blue eyes, those eyes made her melt, all she wanted to do was just profess her love and kiss him. But she wouldn't, she couldn't. She couldn't deal with the pain of she ever lost him as a friend, partner, or just him. She couldn't lose him, the pain it would cause would be too much for her.

She stopped her gaze "So..uh how's the kids?" her attempt to make a small conversation and cover up the fact that she was staring at him. "The kids are good, Maureen's getting married to a boy named Kyle, nice kid. You'll probably get an invitation to the wedding soon. Kathleen's in her second year of college, she wants to be a therapist. The twins are in their senior year of high school, Lizzie is class president, straight A student. Dickie on the other hand, well he's acting like how I acted in high school, not giving a crap in the world."

He laughed. "But he's doing good, he told me he wants to be in the Marines. Little Eli is starting 2nd grade soon. He is the quite the jokester/ prankster. Just last week I was taking a nap and he decided to draw a mustache on my face and put whip cream on it."

Liv smiled at the thought of his kids. She loved those kids, they always had a place in her heart. She always thought if she was to have a child she wanted him or her to be like the Stabler children, polite, funny, and caring. "That's great El." he smiled "Eli misses you." "I miss him too, maybe i'll drop by to see him." Liv smiles thinking of the little blonde curly haired little boy running up to her and making jokes.

He smiles "That would be great, he'd love it." Liv smiles. "Okay enough of this weak alcohol. I'm ready for the strong stuff. You and I both don't have work that means we can get as drunk as we want and not have to worry about work." She laughs. He smiles "Benson your getting wild there." He laughs. "You ain't seen anything yet." She ordered 12 shots of tequila, 2 beers, and 2 sodas.

Elliot looked at her "You trying to get me drunk Benson?" She laughed "Oh can big manly Stabler not keep up?" She teases. "Oh I can keep up. But can you keep up." He smirks and takes the first shot, he bangs the glass on the table and chewed on a piece of lime. "First ones always the worst." Liv said smiling. "Tell me about it."

He pushed the glass towards Liv "Okay Benson your turn." "Nah I'm good." She joked. "Oh no no you are drinking with me." she laughed and drank it.

12 shots and 2 beers later...

Elliot looked at Liv, this was the time to tell her. "Liv" he said slightly slurred. She looked at him with a smile "Yeah?" "I love you, i'm in love with you." he said quickly. "I love you too." She kissed him. The kiss wasn't just any kiss it was 16 years of pent up love, filled with so much passion. He held her hips and she held his face.

They kissed for what felt forever, they finally pulled away for air, both panting. "My house. Now." Liv said quickly. He nodded and they got a cab. They got in the cab and could barely keep their hands off each other. The cab pulled up to Liv's apartment, Elliot threw all his money at the driver and they rushed inside.

They finally got it Liv's door, she fumbled with the keys frantically trying to open the door. She let out a frustrated sigh when it wouldn't budge. Elliot chuckled behind her "Give me the keys I got it." He took the keys from her and opened the door. She smiled and walked in, he shut the door and they didn't waste anytime.

Elliot had Liv pushed up against the wall kissing everywhere he could, Liv lightly pushed him off "Not here. Bedroom. Now." She whispered slightly out of breath. He picked her up and carried her to the room.

The rest of the night was filled with what the two of them had fantasized about over the years. The two of them together in each other's arms making love.

After hours of nonstop pleasure they calmed down and fell asleep, Liv laid the other way, Elliot behind her holding her close to him. The next morning....
