"Olivia are you sure about this?" Donald Cragen asked, her captain and father like figure during her time at SVU.

"I have to Cap. Waking up every morning, doing the same thing. Those vics Cap. They're- they're getting to me." She looked at him with tears in her eyes. "I can't do it anymore." She whispered.

"Liv, you can come back when you're ready." Captain said as she handed him her badge and gun. He pushed the badge back towards her. "Keep it."

She smiled up at him. "Don, I want you to know that you have been like a father to me." She said crying.

He pulled her into a hug. "You have been like a daughter to me Liv. I'm gonna miss ya." He said.

" I will miss you too." She smiled and walked out of his office.

Olivia went to her desk and started filling up a box she had under her desk with all her belongings. Fin, Munch and Elliot walked in from court. They all noticed what Olivia was doing and they ran over to her.

"What are you doing?" Munch asked.

Olivia looked at them with tears in her eyes. "I handed in my badge." She looked at the ground.

"Babygirl, why? What happened?" Fin asked. He was like her older brother, well all of the guys at SVU were like her older brothers. Except Elliot. She wanted him to be her man. She had fallen in love with Elliot within the first year of their partnership, which was now going on 8 years.

Last year when Elliot and his wife, Kathy, got a divorce, Olivia was there for him. She helped him through everything. She let him stay with her until her got on his feet, and they became really close when that happened.

"i can't deal with the vics anymore." She swallowed hard. She hoped they wouldn't be able to pick up on her lie. Most of the time they could, then they would play along then she would find out they knew.

"Liv, you're lying." Elliot said. He knew, he knew that he was the reason she was leaving. Again she chose him over the victims.

"Elliot I have to go." Olivia said, tears forming in her eyes.

"Please stay." Elliot looked into her eyes. Elliot pulls her into a hug and holds her tight. He slowly reached down and kissed her lips. The kiss was innocent. Munch and Fin just smiled because they know that one day it would happen.

Elliot pulled her even closer if that was possible. Olivia wrapped an arms around his neck. She suddenly remember where they were and who was there. Olivia pulled away. "El-"

"Shh baby." He put a finger on her lips. "Liv. You are the most bull-headed, loud, bossiest person I have ever met. But, you are also the most self-less, kind, compassionate, helpful, sexiest woman I have ever met. And, I love you, I'm in love with you." Elliot smiled.

"Elliot, I can't. I have to catch my plane, it leaves in 45 minutes." She removed herself from Elliot's arms and looks at him one more time. "I have to go."

Elliot let go of her. He watched her walk out of the bullpen and out of his life. Cragen looked at Elliot like he didn't know him. "Elliot, go get her." Fin said.

"I can't. She's gone, I don't know what flight she is even on." He said tears in his eyes.

Fin pulled a slip out of his pocket. "Flight 5842 to Alaska, 5:30." He handed Elliot the paper.

He noticed it was a plane ticket had his name on it. " You knew?" Elliot asked.

"I saw the papers on her desk, I figured it would help if she was serious."

Elliot ran out of the precinct and got a cab. He told the man to drive him to the airport and they were on their way. He was nervous, he was scared, but none of that bothered him because he was completely in love.

"So you seem to be in a hurry." The cab driver said.

Elliot nodded, and smiled. "I have to get my best friend. She is about to make a huge mistake."

"Tell her you love her." Elliot looked at the man questionably. "I can tell by the look in your eye." They pulled up to the airport. Elliot handed the man a 20 dollar bill, but pushed it back to him.

Elliot ran into to the airport to the security, he flashed his badge and pushed it to the front of the line. They let him through with ease.

"Now boarding flight 5842 to Alaska." Elliot ran to the gate. He boarded the plane and sat in the back. He saw Olivia get on the plane, she walked a couple rows and then sat down.

The plane had free-wifi because it was the week of Christmas. The plane started and was getting ready to take off.

It was now an hour into the plane ride and everyone was sleeping. Elliot is sitting in the back, next to a young man. Elliot looked out the window, until he noticed his phone light up. The screen read, New Message. Elliot opened it and saw it was from Olivia. His heart stopped as he opened it.

'I miss you...' Olivia had texted.

'I miss you too.' Elliot smiled as he wrote back.

The man next to Elliot noticed Olivia's picture ID and it was when she had to go undercover. Her hair was curled into perfect spiral curls, her makeup looked amazing and she was wearing a black dress.

"Is she your girlfriend?" The kid asked.

Elliot looked at him, "No, she is my best friend."

"Is she single?" He asked.

"Yeah. But, I love her. She just is the best girl you will ever meet. Shes beautiful, hardworking, strong. She has the most reasons to cry, and she is on this plane." Elliot said.

"Wait, woah? She is here, now?" He asked.

"Yeah." Olivia was walking back to the bathroom and Elliot saw her walking this way.

Elliot turned and looked out the window. Olivia went into the bathroom.

Olivia splashed her face with water. She hasn't been able to stop thinking about Elliot. She even thought she saw Elliot on the plane.

Elliot thought this was the perfect time to move up to where Olivia sat. He noticed the row next to her was empty, so he moved to the window seat.

Olivia walked out and sat down in her seat. Elliot saw her sit down and waited for her to text him back. She had texted Elliot a few moments ago.

'Olivia I need to tell you something.' Elliot texted her.

Olivia's face grimaced. She hoped it wasn't bad, or he hurt himself. She hadn't thought of how much this really could hurt him. 'Yeah?' She texted.

Elliot stood up and Olivia noticed him. "El. What are you doing?"

"I'm here to be with you." Elliot whispered.

"I can't be with you El." Olivia said.

"Please listen to me." He said.

"Elliot, what do you want from me? I am so broken. No one wants me." By now they have gotten the attention of most of the plane.

Her eyes were filled up with tears. "Liv, baby. Listen to me. I want this. I want us." He gestured between the two of them. " I want all of the pointless bickering, long walks, late night phone calls, the goodmorning texts. I want cute pictures with you, to hold your hand, make food for you, to call you baby. The joking, the wrestling, the fights, the long how I feel after we make up texts. I want to be one of those best friend couples where everyone says wow you guys are still together? Thats what I want. With you."

She leaned up and kissed him. Elliot smiled and pulled away. "I want this too. I love you."

" I love you too." Everyone around them started clapping and cheering. "Come back to New York with me."

"I will, the first flight when we get there."
