Olivia held the phone between her ear and shoulder as she held the mask of the nebulizer over Noah's mouth and nose. His allergies had been especially bad this week, and the only thing that seemed to help was this machine, pumping medicine into his lungs to help open them. But he was on his last pack of medicine, and she knew he would need more. She didn't want to take Noah out, Lucy was in class, it was finals week, and her squad was terribly busy. So, she called the only person she trusted. When he picked up, his voice was worried, but raspy. "Liv?"

"I need you." He could hear the panic in her voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Noah, his allergies… he's been using his nebulizer, we're on his last pack of medicine, I don't want to take him out and Lucy and the squad… I can't get it, but he's going to need it, can you come watch him?"

"Do you want me to pick it up for you?"

"You'd do that?"

"Of course Liv. I know you, I know you don't want to be away from Noah."

"Ed, you're a life saver."

"Same pharmacy?"

"Yeah, I'll pay you back when you get here."

"Don't worry, Liv. I'll be there in 20 minutes or less."

She smiled. "I'd make a joke but I'm just too worried."

"You can make it later. I'll see you soon."

"Thank you again."

They hung up and Olivia held Noah as he finished his treatment, rubbed his back afterward, feeling him fall asleep in her arms, his wheezing gone. She let out a breath and carried him to his bed, laying him down for a nap. She kissed his head and walked out of the room, keeping the door open and she moved to the living room, leaned against the wall and let out a quiet sob, covering her face until she heard a knock. She stood up and wiped her eyes and walked to the door, checking the peep hole, opening the door and wrapping her arms around him instantly, just whispering "thank you", over and over.

He rubbed her back and held her tightly to him, walking her back into her apartment, kicking the door shut. "I'm here," he spoke into her hair, smelling her shampoo and closing his eyes. "It's okay now."

Olivia pulled back and wiped her eyes, still standing in his arms. "I… I'm sorry I had to call. I just didn't know who else to call." She couldn't meet his eyes, she knew if she did, she'd be lost in them again.

Ed tucked his finger under her chin and tilted her face up, searching for her eyes. "Hey, I'll always be here for you. Always." Their eyes locked, they moved closer, their lips almost touching, but Olivia pulled away before a kiss happened.

"We… we shouldn't."

"Right." He rubbed her arms.

"How can I repay you? It's late. Dinner? A drink? Something. Please."

"All I need is to know you and Noah are safe." He kissed her forehead. "I should go," he murmured against her forehead.

When he pulled away and started to walk towards the door she stopped him. "Wait!" When he turned around she took a deep breath. "Stay. Please. I miss you. Just.. talk?"

Ed smiled and nodded. "I miss you too," he said walking over to her. "Bourbon?"

"You got it." She smiled, a smile he'd waited months to see again, a smile that threw him right back into the pond of love that he was so deep into before he walked out of this apartment last time. Next thing he knew she was in front of him looking at him. "Where'd you go?" She asked as she handed him a tumbler of the rich amber liquid.

"Uh… I… nowhere."

"Mhm." But she dropped it, taking a sip from her own glass. God she missed him. She couldn't help but get lost in his eyes. She brought herself out of it. "Come, sit." She sat on the couch, her legs tucked beneath her. "How are things at Conviction Integrity?"

"I wouldn't know. I retired, Liv. Beginning of the month."

Olivia felt the wind get knocked out of her. "Oh, I didn't –"

Ed raised a hand. "It's okay. You've been busy. I've seen the headlines, press conferences." He rested a hand on her shoulder. "I'm proud of you."

The two of them talked for hours. Olivia looked at her watch, sitting up and holding Ed's arm. "It's one AM," she looked at Noah's room, checking on him, seeing him fast asleep, watching the rise and fall of his chest, not hearing wheezing. She turned around and saw Ed, she threw her arms around him and kissed him. She broke the kiss, "he hasn't gotten up. He's usually up by now and he's not wheezing," she wiped her eyes. Ed." She held him close and looked into his eyes. She kissed him again, more passionately, feeling him start to walk her backwards to her bedroom. Once she heard her door shut, she started working on undoing his pants, feeling his calloused hands on the skin of her back. She felt his lips move to her neck and she gasped.

Ed had missed her. He remembered every spot that made her come undone, but he intended to explore her body all over again, redraw the hills and valleys on the map that was her body. He missed her soft skin beneath his fingertips. She pulled away for a minute, he stopped and looked at her. "What's wrong?" his voice was soft as he caresses her face with his hand.

Olivia smiled, biting the tears back that were welling up in her eyes. "I…" she shook her head. "I need to know that this is going to be more than tonight." Her arms wrapped themselves around her body and her lip found her way in between her teeth. "I made the biggest mistake of my life when I let you walk out that door." She looked at the floor. "I can't do it again. I want this, Ed. I want you, but if this is just tonight, my heart can't take anymore."

He tilted her face up and looked into her eyes, wet with tears. "I never should have walked out the door. But if you'll have me, I will never walk out that door again. Not without you and Noah by my side."

She let out a sob and she nodded. "Ed Tucker," she caressed his face and smiled when he wiped her tears away. "I've missed you, I've seen what it's like to live without you by my side. I don't like it. I want you in my life, standing by my side. I want to wake up in your arms. I want to be able to come home and have an adult to talk to about my day or your day… or something other than Sesame Street." Her eyes met his. "I love you, Ed Tucker."

Ed pulled her into a kiss and held her tightly. He felt her arms wrap around him. He broke the kiss and looked at her. "I love you too, Olivia Margret Benson." He ran his thumb over her lips, now swollen from his kiss.

Olivia kissed his thumb and ran her hands over his chest. "Take me to bed." His lips found hers and he picked her up. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he carried her to her bed, setting her down and taking her shirt off over her head. He pushed her back on the bed and kissed her neck to her waist. "Oh, Ed." She'd forgotten what his lips felt like against her skin. Feeling them on her skin again set her body aflame with desire. She felt him pull her pants off and climb over her. "You seem to be a bit overdressed for the occasion… Captain."

"Not yet." He resumed kissing the newly bare skin of her body, biting, soothing, touching.

She gasped and arched her back. "My God, Ed." She let out breathy moans. She ran her hands over her body, she needed more, Ed was driving her crazy. "Ed, please," she begged.

Ed smirked and licked above the waist band of her panties. He took her panties between his teeth and pulled them down, kissing her legs. "Please what?"

Olivia groaned. "Ed." Her teeth were clenched. "You know what I want," she whined.

"Tell me."

"Ed!"

"Say it, or I'll keep going around where you want me to be all night long."

"You wouldn't."

"Wanna bet?" He was met with silence. "I didn't think so. Tell me Liv, and I'll do whatever you want."

Olivia quivered and pulled him up and kissed him passionately. "I wanted you to lick my pussy, but now I just… I just need to feel you. Please."

Ed kissed her again and wrapped his arms around her, slipping her bra off. She pulled his shirt up over his head, breaking the kiss for a minute to get it off him. "You're so beautiful." His breath on her ear as he whispered to her.

She let out a groan and pulled him close. "God, I missed this," she gently bit on his neck, hearing him groan, she smirked. "Missed that too," she chuckled.

He looked at her and smiled and kissed her again, feeling her push his pants down, taking him into her hand. He rested his forehead against hers. "Jesus, baby."

Just as he let down his guard, she flipped him over and straddled him. "My turn," she leaned down and kissed him, guiding herself over him, moaning into his mouth when she felt him fill her. "Shit." She took a minute to readjust to his size and catch her breath.

"God you feel so good," he gripped her hair and ran his free hand down her back, gripping her ass.

Olivia started to move her hips and she bit her bottom lip, as she started riding him faster. "Fuck, baby."

Ed's hands rested on her hips and he met her thrust for thrust. Olivia let out a yelp and he leaned up and kissed her passionately. "Mm, that's it baby, ride me good." His voice was hoarse and breathless. Olivia let out a strangled moan, it was the only sound she could get out. He reached between them and started to rub her clit.

She gasped and let her head fall back and rested her hands on his chest. "Fuck, fuck, fuck. Right there. Like that." She moved harder and faster and before she knew it she was on her back with Ed pounding into her.

Ed lifted her leg and wrapped it around his waist, her back arched off the bed and she scratched at his back, her body starting to shake. "Yeah, baby. Come for me. Come around me."

Olivia's breath hitched and her hips jerked against his. "Baby." She gripped his ass and pulled him into her further. "P—Please. Come." She felt him thrust into her harder and she let out a scream, louder than she liked, but soon felt his release inside of her, thrusting a few more times until he fell on top of her. Both lay there breathless and they shared a chuckle.

"You're good," he whispered against her skin.

She laughed and rubbed his back. "Right back at'cha, Oh Captain, my Captain." She looked at him and caressed his face. "Ed, I meant what I said before. I love you. I don't ever want to know what it's like to not have you in my life again. Not only as my lover, and boyfriend, but as my best friend. That's why we work so well, you know."

He kissed her nose. "Hey, I love you too, and I'm not going anywhere ever again. Liv, you're stuck with me."

"Nobody else I'd rather be stuck with." She rubbed his back and kissed him one more time, softly. "Let's get some sleep."

"Mm, you wore me out," he mumbled.

She chuckled. "Well, let's hope Noah doesn't want to go anywhere requiring too much walking tomorrow, I'm gonna be sore." He rolled off her and she snuggled into his chest. "See you in the morning."

"Always."
