Ahhhh! Story number two! I hope you guys enjoy this one. I really like David Haden and Olivia together, the writers should have left them together. Besides Elliot, he is the only person that I like with her and like seriously those writers could have done a much better job on the season 12 finale, it did not do those characters justice at all. But it's over now so Liv has to move on. I know this is not how Livid goes but this is an idea that I had. Please read and review.

*David won't come into the story until chapter 3.

Chapter 1

Olivia Benson was tired, and not the kind of tired that could be fixed with simply going to sleep. She was tired of being alone. She was tired of people that abused their kids when they were such a blessing to have. All Olivia wanted was a baby and maybe a man that would love her even after he saw all of her scars and knew everything that she had been through but time was ticking. She was almost forty-two years old and had pretty much given up on her happily ever after.

It had been a rough three days. The case they had really through her for a loop. Three kids had been brought into the hospital and they showed signs of being physical and sexual abuse. After lots of investigating they found out that it was the mother and step father and when Olivia and Fin went to pick them up they were no where to be found. When they finally found them they had a gun and shot at Olivia with it. Luckily it had only grazed her arm and they had still been able to catch them but it could have been much worse.

They had just closed the case and Cragen had sent them all home for the weekend. Olivia had stopped by the store and then headed back to her apartment. When she made it to her door she sat down her bags and rummaged through her purse looking for the keys. She had just pulled them out when she felt something hit her leg.

Turning around she saw that it was a little girl. She was about three and had blue eyes and brown hair that was put into two braids. "Hi sweetie, what are you doing?" Olivia asked her after she had bent down to her level.

"Hide and seek!" the little girl said happily.

Then another girl came from around the corner. "Amber what are you doing?" she said with a laugh. This girl was older, she looked to be about twelve and had brown hair and brown eyes. She was tall and had a few freckles on her face.

"Playing game." she said with a giggle.

"I thought that I told you we had to stay in the house." the older girl said to Amber as she picked her up. Turning to Olivia she said "I'm sorry if she bothered you. I must have forgotten to lock the door and she escaped."

"Oh, no she didn't bother me. She's precious. I'm Olivia what's your name?" she asked the girl.

"I'm Leah and this is Amber. It's nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet you too." Olivia said with a smile.

"Would you like me to help you carry your groceries in?" Leah asked while shifting Amber to her other hip.

"If you want to."

She put down her little sister and picked up the bags that Olivia had sat down. Olivia unlocked the door and they all three walked into the apartment. Leah went into the kitchen to put the bags down and Amber stayed with Olivia.

"Livia, hurt your arm?" Amber asked her sweetly.

"Yes, at work." she answered in a way that a little girl could understand.

Leah walked into the room just as she said that. "Where do you work?" she asked curiously.

"I'm a police officer." Olivia answered.

"Oh, that's cool. Well I think that we should get going but I'm glad we met." Leah said, picking up her baby sister.

"We come back Livia?" Amber asked before Olivia could say anything.

"Yeah sweetie. Drop by anytime I'm not working." she told the little girl.

"Thank you Olivia. Bye!" Leah said and turned to walk out the door.

"Bye Livia!" Amber squealed.

"Bye guys, hope to see you soon." she said to them before closing the apartment door and going to put away her groceries.

That night Olivia went to bed with a smile on her face for the first time in a while. Those girls had brightened up her day and she didn't know it yet but they would eventually brighten up her whole life.
