A/N Hello everyone. This is a fanfic that I agreed to write for Raven650, a great mind who thought up the plot for this fanfic. This fic will be different then my other stories. It's going to be a Bobby/OC pairing with Bobby/Alex friendship. I know I normally write B/A fics, which is because i'm a shipper lol. It will be a romance/drama/angst. I hope you all like it, and half the credit for this chapter goes to Raven650, the mind behind this fic. The first chapter is just a flashback of how/when Bobby/Victoria met. After that, we will go to present time.

Now, i'll begin the story.

Detective Bobby Goren and Detective Alexandra Eames were sent out to the scene of a drive by shooting. Once at the scene, the two detectives got out of the SUV, they headed toward the many police officers who were swarming the scene. Once they got closer, they could see the body of a young boy laying on the sidewalk. Alex walked over to find out what had happened, while her partner put on his white rubber gloves and took a closer look at the victim.

" I'm Detective Eames, can you tell me what happened here, " Alex asked one of the young officers on the scene, after showing her badge.

" It was a driveby shooting. One of the victims was pronounced dead on the scene, the other victim received a bullet wound to the shoulder. He's being treated at the Cornell Medical Center, " replied the young officer.

" Are there any witnesses, " Alex asked.

" Not that we know of, " the officer replied.

" Okay, thanks officer, " Alex said. Then she headed over to the body, where her partner was hovering over it.

" Looks like he was shot 6 times, i'd say he died instantly, " Bobby said. " Also has a tatoo... might be a sign for a gang, "

" It's a real shame, " Alex said.

Bobby nodded, then stood up. " Any witnesses, " he asked.

" Just the other victim, " Alex replied.

" Other victim, " Bobby asked, confused. They weren't told that there was another victim.

" Yes, there is another victim, received a gunshot to the shoulder, " Alex replied.

" Well... we're done here... might as well go ask some questions, " Bobby said.

Alex nodded and the two detectives headed to the Cornell Medical Center. Within a little while, Bobby and Alex had reached their destination. They exited the SUV and headed inside. Once inside, they asked what room the victim was in, and a nurse lead them to the room.

The young boy looked quite frightened as he lay there in the hospital bed. Alex walked to the bedside, Bobby following right behind her.

" I'm Detective Eames, this is my partner, Detective Goren. We're here to ask you some questions about what happened earlier, you feeling up to it, " Alex asked kindly.

The young boy just nodded.

" Okay, did you see the shooter, " Alex asked softly.

" No... not really, but I saw the car, " the boy said.

" What... what kind was it, " Bobby asked.

" A Ford Mustang, 2000 maybe 2001 model... it was bright red.

Just then, a nurse opened the door.

" Excuse me, I need to change the IV, " she said, then entered the room.

Bobby's eyes seemed to light up instantly as the nurse walked past him. Alex looked up at the nurse, then she turned at looked at her partner, his eyes were still glued on the beautiful nurse.Alex couldn't believe what she was seeing, she had never seen Bobby look at anyone in such a way. The nurse changed the IV quickly, then she made her way out of the room, Bobby's eyes followed her as she walked out of the room.Then he stood up, suddenly. He started walking towards the door.

" Goren, " Alex called, however, her partner just kept walking. Lost in thoughts of the beautiful nurse. " Goren, " Alex called a second time, still there was no response.

" Bobby, "Alex almost shouted. This time, Bobby stopped and looked back at his partner.

" Yes, " he said.

" Where are you going, " Alex asked.

" Oh... uh... i'm going to ask the nurse if... anyone has been in to see the victim, except family, " Bobby replied, trying to sound convincing.

Alex shot her partner a strange look. " Now? In the middle of the interview, " she questioned.

" I... I think it's... it's important, " Bobby replied.

With that, he darted out of the hospital room, and ran down the hallway after the nurse. It didn't take him long to catch up to her.

" Excuse me... nurse, " Bobby called.

The nurse stopped in her tracks. " Yes, " she asked kindly.

" Uh... has... has anyone besides the victims family been in to see him, " Bobby asked.

" No, just his parents and grandparents, " the nurse replied.

Just then, Bobby heard footsteps coming down the hallway, he turned and looked to see his partner running towards him.

" Bobby, I just got a call from one of the officers who was on the scene. Someone called in with a tip, we're supposed to go meet the caller down at the station, " Alex explained.

Bobby sighed. Then he looked to the nurse.

" We just got a tip... we gotta go. Oh... I... uh... I didn't catch your name, " Bobby said, shyly.

The nurse smiled. " Victoria... Victoria Spencer, " the nurse says.

With that, Bobby and Alex headed down to the station to interview the tipster.

A couple days later, Bobby and Alex were back at the Cornell Medical Center. The person who had called with the tip had provided some interesting information. The caller had told Bobby and Alex that the two boys who were shot were both members of a local street gang, he explained that the two gangs had been fighting over the territory and that's why the boys were shot. This confirmed Bobby's suspicion that the boys might have been members of a gang. Now the detectives were back to question the remaining victim about the caller's alligations.

Once inside the center, Bobby saw Victoria, the beautiful nurse he had briefly talked to two days before. She walked passed himand headed towards the desk. Bobby stopped dead in his tracks, he stood there, admiring her. God, is she beautiful. he thought to himself.

Victoria could feel that she was being watched as she wrote down a patients information on a chart, she looked up and saw Bobby standing there, staring at her. She flashed him a sweet smile, it melted his heart instantly. Victoria remembered the detective instantly, for she had felt an instant attraction to him from the very moment that she met him. However, she was determined not to let on.

Bobby was finally brought back to reality as his partner walked passed him. He quickly caught up to her and the two walked up to Victoria.

" Hello Victoria, " Bobby said. Shocking his partner.

" Detective, what can I do for you, " asked Victoria.

" Uh... we have a couple more questions for the victim, " Bobby replied.

" Oh... well it just so happens that I was on my way to check on the patient now. I'll walk with you, " Victoria said, quickly.

" I'll join you in a minute, Bobby. I have to use the restroom, " Alex told her partner. " Could you tell me where the restroom is, " she then asked the nurse.

" Sure, right down the hall, passed those two doors, " Victoria replied.

With that, Alex headed to the restroom, while Bobby and Victoria headed down the hall, towards the victims room. As they walked, Bobby tried to make conversation, still not taking his eyes off her.

" So... uh... how long have you worked here, " Bobby asked.

Victoria smiled. " About 6 years, " she replied.

" Do you uh... do you like your job, " he asked.

" Yes, I do, " Victoria replied. " Sometimes it's hard... when we lose a patient but overall, it's a rewarding job. " What about you, do you like your job, " Victoria asked.

" Well... yeah... I guess most times. I... I like putting the bad guys away... but it's... uh... stressful at times, " Bobby replied.

Victoria was rather surprised at how kind Bobby was. He seemed like such a nice person, and he didn't have that high ego like most of the detectives she had encountered. She also liked the way he did things, the way he acted. He was sort of odd in a way, but she liked that. He was very different from most men she'd known, in a good way. Soon, they had reached the victim's room.They both enter, Victoria checks the boys vitals then she quickly leaves the room.Alex walks into the room, as she leaves.

After questioning the boy, both Bobby and Alex exit the room and head back down the hallway. Once they reach the front office, Bobby looks around. He had been trying to decide wether or not he she ask Victoria out, and he finally decided that he wanted to.

" Eames... i'll uh... i'll be right back, " Bobby said.

" Okay, i'll be waiting in outside, " Alex replied, assuming that her partner was going to use the restroom.

Bobby searched around the center until he finally found Victoria, she was sitting at her desk, looking over a patient's medical chart.She looked up, to see Bobby coming down the hall toward her. She was having a hard time keeping her composure, as he got closer and closer to the desk. Bobby was also having a hard time keeping his composure, he had never felt quite like this before.

" Victoria, " Bobby said, once he reached the desk.

"Y-Yes, " she replied.

" Uh... can I... can I speak to you... in private, " Bobby asked.

" Sure, " Victoria replied with a nob. Then she lead him into an empty room.

" I... I was... uh... I was w - wondering if uh... if you would... um I... I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me tonight, " Bobby shammered.

Victoria looked at him in complete shock. She never, in a million years expected him to ask that question. She remained silent for a moment.

Bobby began to get nervous. Damn, I blew it! Why couldn't I just ask the question? Bobby thought to himself. He was just about to turn and walk away when he heard her sweet voice.

" Yes, " Victoria replied.
