Olivia walked in the next day she noticed flowers and a note attached by her desk and she smiled as she read the note
"Liv,
Last night was the best night of my life. I have never smiled so much in my entire life. I want to do it again sometime soon. Because now that I have you, I'm not leaving you. Please enjoy the Lilies that I bought you. Also clear your schedule for lunch. I'm taking you out today. I love you
Love,
El
PS here's my new cell phone number 555-2376
Olivia smiled. She's had boyfriends in the past but none that have brought her flowers and bought her dinner at the world's fanciest restaurant.
"Someone's got an admirer" Amanda Rollins one of the new detectives winked bringing Olivia out of her thoughts about how perfect Elliot is.
Olivia blushed slightly and smiled
"So who's the lucky guy Liv?" Fin asked.
Olivia didn't want Fin to know she was now seeing Elliot but Fin isn't one of those people that you can just say "No one" and he'll believe you.
"What makes you think I'm dating anyone?" she said slightly blushing
"Liv? Seriously?" Munch began "I've known you for 14 years and I've never seen you this happy."
"And" Fin added "You're completely glowing. It's not a sex glow. It's a 'I'm finally in love' glow."
"Plus" Amanda said "Even though I've only known you for a year, I can tell you're super happy which isn't normal behavior for you. You deserve this" she said smiling
Olivia looked at the three detectives dumbstruck. She'd have to tell them.
"He is my best friend" she said smiling.
Fin and Munch automatically knew "Elliot" they said in unision
Amanda looked at them "Elliot?" she asked
"Elliot Stabler. He used to work here. He was Benson's partner for 12 years. We all knew they'd eventually shack up we just didn't know when" Munch said smiling at Olivia
Olivia smiled. "Yes. He's been divorced for two years and well.. He sent me a letter yesterday with his medallion in it. He told me to meet him at the world's most fancy and expensive restaurant in New York City. Guys it was the best date ever." Olivia said smiling remembering every single detail of last night. "We danced, we laughed, we.. Enjoyed life. We were both happy for the first time in years" she said smiling at the three detectives before her.
Munch and Fin pulled Olivia into a hug "Baby Girl you've finally found your other half." Fin said smiling "By the way Munch owe me $250" Fin said to Munch
"You two betted on Stabler and I?" Olivia said raising an eyebrow
Fin and Munch nodded "I betted his scrawny ass that you and Stabler would end up together one day and he said not likely since Stabler was married. Well I betted his ass and won" Fin said smiling and holding out his hand. Munch slapped $250 in his hand. "Asshole" he grunted
"Now Munch don't be a sore loser" Fin teased
Olivia looked at Amanda and rolled her eyes and smiled
"You really are happy Olivia" she said smiling
"Yeah.. I am. For once in my life I actually feel whole again." she said smiling
Amanda smiled at Olivia. "Good. Olivia you deserve whole means you're in love" she said "And with this job, you definitely deserve it" she smiled again.
Olivia looked at her and smiled "Thanks Amanda. But here's some advice. If you feel as if you're falling for someone in the precinct, don't make it obvious. Because dumb and dumber over there will bet on it" she winked then walked off.

It was almost time for her lunch break. Olivia smiled as she looked at the clock and finished the last DD-5 of the day. She looked over to find Fin and Munch playing with a paper airplane. She rolled her eyes and laughed
"What" Nick said noticing the rare laugh of Olivia Benson
"Those two over there" she said pointing at Fin and Munch still playing with the paper airplane
Nick looked over and laughed "Dumb and Dumber" he quipped
Olivia laughed in agreement
"Hey Liv" a voice said from the door.
Fin, Munch, Olivia, Amanda, and Nick looked up
"Elliot" Olivia smiled and stood up
"Oh my god am I seeing a ghost?" Fin said
"Is this the government's clone of Elliot?" Munch said standing up
"Man really? Government clone?" Fin said shaking his head.
Elliot and Olivia laughed
"I thought I was meeting you" she said looking at Elliot
Elliot smiled
"I figured I should drop by to get my girlfriend and see my old friends" he said smiling and pulling Olivia closer
"Lets make Fin and Munch's mouth drop" Elliot whispered
Olivia nodded as Elliot gave her the most passionate kiss ever
Fin and Munch's mouths fell to the floor as they watched the two lovebirds kiss
Elliot pulled away and smiled "That was... wow"
Olivia agreed "I felt so much"
"I feel my lunch coming up" Munch said
The precinct laughed as Cragen walked into the room
Cragen stopped when he saw Elliot.
"Elliot" he said not knowing what else to say
"Cap-I mean Don" Elliot said to Cragen
Cragen laughed "You can still call me 'Cap'"
Elliot chuckled and looked at Olivia. He took her hand and chose to break the awkwardness.
"We're going to lunch" he said to Cragen
Cragen nodded "Get her back here in an hour." he instructed
Olivia chuckled then nodded
Elliot looked at her funny "What was that about?" he asked
Olivia looked at him "Cragen being all daddy like giving me a curfew" she giggled.
Everyone including Elliot looked at her
"What?" she said
"Did you just... giggle?" Elliot asked
"I think she did" Cragen said chuckling
"The government invaded her body" Munch protested
"Baby Girl don't giggle" Fin said matter of factly
Olivia laughed at all four men.
"I think I did. I'm happy I'm..." "In love" Elliot said interrupting her
Olivia looked up at Elliot who was looking down at her and smiled
Cragen looked at them "Finally" he said not realizing he said it out loud
Elliot & Olivia looked at Cragen and were going to comment but they decided against it
"Ok clocks ticking you still only have an hour for lunch so get your butts out of this precinct" Cragen said
Elliot and Olivia laughed and headed out
