Chapter 1

Elliot walked back into the squad room full of smiles. His skin was tanned and his mood was high. He had just gotten back from vacation with Olivia and the kids and there was nothing that could sour his mood.

"Hey there he is," Nick beamed. Despite the fact that he and Olivia were no longer partners, they both kept in touch frequently, often texting each other about play dates. Calvin had been more than happy to help out kid-sitting when Nick and his girlfriend wanted to go out as well.

"You miss me?" Elliot chuckled.

"No, just glad I won't have to third wheel with Fin and Rollins anymore," Nick smirked.

"Oh I see how it is. Just for that, I may withhold the presents I brought with me," his new partner said.

"Presents?" Fin asked as he walked into the room from the crib.

"Yes. Turns out Liv was like a kid in the candy shop when it comes to souvenir shopping," Elliot laughed.

"I knew I could count on baby girl," Fin winked.

"I'm guessing Florida agrees with you," Captain Cragen exited his office with Rollins in tow. Fin noticed the look on her face and he worried what they had been talking about while he had caught a quick nap on lunch break. She was definitely keeping him young but the long nights were starting to catch up to him.

"Indeed it does and I must say that Disneyland agrees with the family," he gave the Captain a firm handshake.

"Good. So what'd you bring us?" Cragen asked. This made everyone laugh and Elliot went into the bag he brought with him.

"All right, all right. Now Olivia picked this stuff out so any complaints, tell Nick and he'll tell Liv," Elliot chuckled. There were some giggles from Amanda and Fin rolled his eyes and shook his head.

"Hey now," Nick started.

"First, for the Captain. Liv thought you could use these. It doesn't really go with the suit you're wearing today but I think you'll enjoy it anyway," the detective smirked and handed him a box which Cragen ripped open.

"A set of ties. Mickey, Goofy, Donald, and Pluto," Don smiled.

"Not exactly One PP attire but perfect for those days when you need a smile. Also, please note, the item underneath the ties," Elliot said. Don reached into the box a little further and found a coffee mug with Goofy on it.

"No more killing trees with those paper cups," Nick smirked. Elliot chuckled and turned to Fin.

"Olivia said you requested this. I was confused but I didn't question it," he said as he handed a small square box to Fin.

"It's not for me. I had it special ordered and Liv promised to pick it up," he explained.

"Oh that makes much more sense now. Here is what she bought you for you," Elliot smiled as he handed over the second box, which was a little bigger. Fin opened it up and chuckled. The inside contained a shirt Donald Duck on it that said "Don't mess with the Duck".

"That is a keeper. Make sure you wear that to the club later," Rollins teased. He gave her a look.

"For you little lady," Elliot handed Rollins a bag and she removed the tissue paper and pulled out a medium sized stuffed Mickey kissing Minnie. The tough southern belle almost had tears in her eyes and Elliot was going to ask when the phone on her desk rang. She quickly turned away from the group and answered it. Moving onto Nick, Elliot handed something over for little Zara and her half-brother Gil. Then he handed him a third box which was for him and gave him a wink. Nick had a confused look on his face but before he could open the present, Rollins abruptly dropped the phone receiver onto the desk. The loud sound of the receiver hitting the desk made everyone turn and look at her.

"They found a body in Central Park," Rollins was white as a sheet and Fin rushed over to her.

"What's going on?" He tried to shake her out of it.

"The victim hasn't been identified yet but she had a name carved into her chest," Rollins was slow to explain but Fin got the feeling that what was about to come next was not good.

"What is the name?" Elliot asked.

"Mine," she finally admitted.
