Disclaimer: I sadly don't own Law and Order: CI and "Our Song" by Taylor Swift
If Alex ever had to choose a favorite moment out of her entire life so far, she would choose this moment. Here she was on vacation in Michigan with her partner/boyfriend Robert Goren. After much arguing earlier when the arrived at the car rental about who should drive, Eames fell for Bobby's cute puppy dog face and let his drive. Now, Alex had her head resting on Bobby's shoulder while Bobby kept his left hand on the wheel and his right arm around Alex's waist. The radio was on playing some country songs that Alex and surprisingly Bobby didn't even know. A new song began to play as Alex began to daydream.
I
was riding shotgun with my hair undone in the front seat of his
car
he's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
the other on
my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
he says baby is
something wrong?
I say nothing I was just thinking how we don't
have a song
and he says...
"Hey Bobby?" Alex said while raising her head off of Bobby's shoulder.
"Yeah Alex" Bobby replied while turning his head to her.
"After all this time we've been together, we've never really had a song that only we could share. I think we should have one don't you think?"
"Sure why not" Bobby said. "I've read in a book that women usually pick out subjects in our lives to remember great relationships for example songs, restaurants, funny jokes…" Alex playfully slapped his shoulder.
"Will you shh you tall information guide and listen to the song." She kissed him lightly on the lips and put her head back down on his shoulder. Bobby just shrugged and continued driving. Understanding how even the toughest woman on earth could be such a romantic puzzled him. With a lot of knowledge about psychology, he was still clueless when it came with women. So, to try to understand, Bobby listened as the song progressed.
our
song is the slamming screen door,
sneakin' out late, tapping on
your window
when you're on the phone and you talk real slow
cause
it's late and your mama don't know
our song is the way you
laugh
the first date "man, I didn't kiss her, and I should
have"
and when I got home before I said amen
asking god if
he could play it again
Alex closed her eyes as she listened to the song. Though there weren't any screen doors slammed, Alex and Bobby did have to keep their relationship a secret. Unfortunately that only lasted a minute because next thing she knew, she and Bobby were pulled into Deakins office and being told on how he wasn't going to separate them and to keep it professional at work. There were not really any long phone calls. If there were any phone calls, it was either about cases or where we were going to go for our date. She remembered her first date with Bobby and how it had to be the best date she had ever been on. He made cooked her dinner, made her laugh and for once didn't bore her with useless fun facts he learned about. Alex was happy that Bobby was in her life because he life would be pretty poor without him.
I
was walking up the front porch steps after everything the day
had
gone all wrong or been trampled on
and lost and thrown away
got
to the hallway, well on my way to my lovin' bed
I almost didn't
notice all the roses
and the note that said...
Nope, Bobby was still clueless. But somehow he was able to relate some of the lyrics that was being played to his relationship with Alex. After his mother's death, he didn't know what to do anymore. He was always sad, didn't eat right, he wasn't as perky as he was before and he wasn't sure what to do with his life anymore. But Alex stepped in and made his life a lot better. She made him laugh; made sure he ate right and got to work. She sometimes would check up on him at his apartment. Alex basically revived him from the dead and helped him rebuild his life again. That's when Bobby realized that he was in love with Alex. But, Bobby was scared that if he admitted his feelings to her, she might reject him and he would enter a depression again. But when he told her, he practically leaped for joy when her response was a kiss. He looked down at Alex and kissed her forehead and continued to listen to the song.

Alex looked at Bobby and Bobby looked down at her. "Wanna sing to the song?" Bobby asked. "Sure, but if this ends up on Youtube, you're dead meat Bobby." He laughed as they began to sing to the song making up some of the lyrics.
I've
heard every album, listened to the radio (I'm sipping my coffee
while waiting for my phone to ring)
waited for something to come
along (waiting for a case to call)
that was as good as our
song...(that we can solve…)
cause
our song is the slamming screen door (cause one man got murdered one
day)
sneaking out late, tapping on his window (at his house and in
the hallway)
when we're on the phone and he talks real slow(Eames
got a call from her phone)
cause it's late and his mama don't
know(And then we headed that way)
our song is the way he
laughs(and then we caught the bad guy)
the first date "man, I
didn't kiss him, and I should have"(because he left a
fingerprint behind)
and when I got home, before I said amen(And
when I got home, with my dear partner)
asking god if he could play
it again…play it again…oh yeah(and made love to him/her again and
again…and again…oh yeah)
I was riding shotgun with
my hair undone(Now I'm in a car that is on a road)
in the front
seat of his car(singing to this stupid song)
I grabbed a pen and
an old napkin(We're laughing and making fun cause)
and I...wrote
down our song(this is…our song
After the song was over and the laughing fits were done, Alex dived for her purse to see if she had a pen inside. When she found the pen she listened to the radio to hear if the name came up.
"Well, you've just listened to 'Our Song' by Taylor Swift and the next song…" Alex shut off the radio and scribbled the words onto her hand. "So," Bobby said. "I guess this is our song isn't it?" He smiled at her as she nodded. "Well, I hope you remember the name after our vacation because we're here!" Alex looked ahead to see Bobby driving up towards a motel. He parked the car in the parking spot and rushed out of the car to open Alex's door. When she got out and shut the door, she kissed Bobby on the lips. "Of course I'll never forget this song, and I hope you won't either. I'll be quizzing you just o make sure." Alex began to walk to the trunk to retrieve her bags. Bobby made a deep sigh as he walked after her to get the bags. Again, he would never be able to understand women.
How was that? Please review
A/N: the words in parenthesis is what Bobby and Alex sing in the car
