Olivia flipped as she slept. She felt someone standing by her bed. Her eyes flew open only to be met by big brown eyes looking at her. "Hey honey."

"I can't sleep" Her two year old son stated as he hugged his teddy bear.

Olivia rubbed her eyes and turned on the lamp on her nightstand. "Why not?"

"I don't know" He shrugged.

Olivia picked him up and sat him in her lap "Landon baby is it a bad dream?"

"No" Landon answered as he leaned back so his back was resting against his mother's chest. He played with his teddy bear. "I just can't sleep."

Olivia gave him a soft kiss on the cheek "Want chocolate milk?"

Landon smiled widely since he loved chocolate milk. "Yea."

Olivia smirked and got off the bed with Landon in her arms. "Chocolate Milk it is" She carried him into the kitchen and flipped the light switch. She placed him on the counter top as he played with the teddy bear Casey bought him. He started swinging his small legs back and forth.

Olivia opened the fridge and the light immediately reflected on her light purple tank top and gray sweats. She pulled the chocolate milk out and placed it by her son who reminded her so much of his father.

She didn't even hear from Aiden in three years and he didn't even know he had a son. Landon had brown eyes and small specs of Violet from Aiden's eyes. Both had the same smile and laugh.

Landon opened the cabinet above his head knowing his mother was going to get the cups.

"Thank you honey" Olivia took out two cups. A coffee cup for her and a plastic one for Landon. "Want me to warm up the milk?"

"No" Landon answered as he unscrewed the milk cap. "Pour"

"All right don't be so demanding" Olivia teased with a wink. She poured milk for each of them and then put two straws in. "Close that for mommy."

Landon put the cap on the milk again.

Olivia put the cups on the kitchen countertop. She picked up Landon and placed him on the stool. "Got everything you need kiddo?"

Landon nodded and started to blow bubbles in his milk "Yup"

Olivia sat down by him. "No making bubbles."

Landon gave her a grin. "Just because I beat you last time doesn't mean you have to be a sore loser mommy."

Olivia gave him a playful mean look "I didn't lose. You cheated."

Landon smiled and kept making bubbles. Olivia sat down by him and made bubbles with him.

Landon stopped his game and looked over at his mother who was his best friend "Mommy can I ask you something?"

"Anything" She answered as she stroked the back of his hair. Everything in her world revolved around her son. He was the most important thing in her life.

"You know how Tommy down the hall always goes to baseball games with his dad?"

Olivia glanced over at him sensing where this was going. "Yea"

"How come I don't go to baseball games with my dad? I have a dad right?"

Olivia bit her lip. "Of course you have a dad honey"

Landon looked at her a little confused "Then how come he doesn't take me to baseball games?"

The answer was simple. Aiden didn't know about him. As far as he was concerned he only left Olivia behind. Explaining it was much more difficult. "It's complicated baby"

"Why?" He asked. His curiosity was that of a two year old. If he didn't understand something he asked his mother who in his eyes knew everything.

Olivia knew this question was going to show up sooner or later as he got older. She just wasn't expecting it this soon. Landon was very smart for his age. His first word was when he was only 8 months old.

She picked him up and placed him on the table. She playfully made his hair spiky like she did when she gave him a bath when he was a baby. "You see…being an adult is much more complicated then being a kid. It's also very different."

"But you still drink chocolate milk." He stated.

Olivia smiled a little "Even more complicated then chocolate milk." She gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I'll explain when you're older."

He held up two fingers "I'm two and a half" He answered. "I'm a big boy"

She smirked since he always made her smile. She placed a kiss on his hand "How about I explain when you're a very big boy like 14 years old?"

He started to think about it "That's like…a long time away. You know how many birthdays I have until then?"

She laughed and picked him up. "I know" She gave him a kiss on his head and carried him to his bedroom. He was already growing to fast for her. It seemed like just yesterday she found out he was a boy.

She put him in his bed and gave him his stuffed toy. "Sleepy at all now?"

"Sort of" He answered as he hugged his stuff toy.

She gave him a kiss "Aunt Casey is baby sitting you tomorrow ok?"

Landon smiled widely since he loved his Aunt Casey. She spoiled him even more then Olivia did.

"If you need anything you know where to find me" Olivia winked at him.

"Ok. Goodnight mommy" He waved.

Olivia kissed him on the head and turned the light off in his room. She left the door open just a little so light came in.

Olivia went back to her room and just laid there for a couple of minutes. She wished she had told Aiden she was pregnant. It would have been easier now. Yet at the same time she would have felt guilty for holding him back on his job.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia put on her holster and kept looking at her watch. Casey was late. Landon was staring at the goldfish in their living room, which of course Casey bought him.

"Mommy should I feed it?" Landon asked as he pressed his small face to the glass.

"No. I fed it already" Olivia answered as she put on her badge. She heard a knock on her door. She quickly went to it and opened the door "You're late" She stated to her best friend.

"Well it's nice to see you also" Casey replied. "Where's my date?"

"Here I am!" Landon grinned hearing Casey's voice. He ran over to the door "Aunt Casey!" He hugged her around the legs.

Casey kneeled down and picked him up. "There is the number one two year old in the world"

Olivia pulled on her jacket "I have to go." She gave Landon a kiss on the cheek. "Be good. Both of you" She warned. More directed to Casey because she loved Landon a lot because he was honest about everything. Just like Aiden was.

"We will" Landon confirmed with a nod. "Bye mommy"

"Bye" She gave him one more kiss and went out the door.

Casey closed the door behind her and carried Landon to the couch. "Ok kiddo. What are we doing today?"

Landon started jumping on the couch. "Buy me a water gun."

"I'm not allowed" Casey answered. Olivia even told her she wasn't able to buy him anything that promoted even the slightest violence because she didn't want that life for her son.

"Buy me chocolate" Landon requested.

"You are hyper enough" Casey pointed to the couch. He got down. Casey always found him cute cause they were exactly alike. They were very blunt and wouldn't let anyone walk over them.

"Can we go play basketball?" Landon asked.

Casey sat down by him and took the remote. "Aunt Casey needs to rest a little."

"Why?" He whined. "C'mon Aunt Casey."

"Later in the afternoon ok?"

He shrugged and put his head on her lap. "Do you have a daddy?"

"Everyone does," She answered.

"Do you know who my daddy is?"

She actually didn't. Olivia told her it was a one-night stand and wouldn't tell her anything else. Especially that she was in love with him. "No I don't honey. I'm sorry" She stroked his hair.

He just nodded. "You know I'm waiting for my dad so I can play baseball? Just like our neighbor Tommy. His dad thought him how to play so I'm waiting for my daddy so he could teach me."

Casey just looked at him. She wasn't sure he would ever meet his father. "Want to go to the park?" She wanted to distract him so he wouldn't think of his hope to know his father.

He jumped excitedly. "Yea!"

"Ok. Let's get the basketball and go" Casey got off the couch as he ran to the closet and got the basketball that was half his size. He had to wrap both arms around it just to hold it.

Casey got his jacket and opened the front door for him. He ran out and waited in the hallway like he was thought until Casey locked the door. He took her hand as she walked him down the stairs.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Casey and Landon sat on the swings after playing basketball.

"Aunt Casey what do you do at work?" He asked. He was extremely curious just like his mother.

"I put people in jail" She answered. She found it funny how she could just tell him things as if he was her best friend. "Your mom arrests them and I throw them in jail."

He nodded. "So what does Uncle Elliot do? He helps mommy arrest them?"

"Yup. Uncle Fin and Uncle John help them find the man we want to put in jail."

Landon nodded and jumped off the swing. He ran up the slide. "C'mon"

Casey got up and stood by the slide so he could slide down. "Careful."

He slid down and burst into laughter. He went again "C'mon it's fun"

"I'm a little too old for that Landon" She told him with a smirk.

"So? Be a kid again," he told her.

Somehow that made sense to her. She climbed up with him and placed him in her lap. "Ready?" He nodded. Both slid down. Landon got off her lap. "Shit" She mumbled spotting her jeans were dirty.

Landon just looked over at her.

"Don't repeat that," She warned him. "If you do I'm never buying you chocolate again" She told him. Landon smiled and nodded.

Casey looked down for a second to clean the dirt off her jeans. She looked up and Landon was gone. She got off the slide and looked around but didn't see him anywhere because he was so short "Landon?"

She finally spotted him by the fence looking at the baseball field across the park. She went over slowly realizing what got his attention. There was a boy a little older then him with his father playing baseball. Landon had his small hands on the fence and just watching.

Casey slowly kneeled down by him and touched his back "Hey you" She whispered. "Want to go for some ice cream?"

He just shrugged as his small, gorgeous eyes showed sadness.

Casey spotted Olivia and Elliot walking over to them. They were obviously still on the job since they had papers with them and their badges were still on their belts.

Olivia spotted Landon and then the baseball game he was looking at. She knew exactly what was going on. Landon wouldn't let anyone teach him baseball. Olivia tried but he wouldn't. She even tried for Elliot to do it but Landon always refused. He had the idea in his head that he had to learn to play baseball from his father.

Olivia kneeled down by her son and gently pulled him away from the fence. She hugged him as he rested his head on her shoulder sadly.

Elliot slowly nodded at Olivia that he would finish the interview they had. Olivia nodded gratefully at him and picked her son up.

Casey grabbed the basketball they brought with them and pointed to her car for Olivia. Olivia followed her to her car with Landon in her arms.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Olivia looked through her file as Landon played with his Legos on the floor. Casey had the day off so she always hanged out with them during that day. Currently she was sleeping on the couch because Olivia's couch was very comfortable.

Landon's pyramid he was building fell down "Shit!"

Olivia quickly looked up hearing her son say that "What did you say?"

"Sorry mommy" he shrugged a little.

Olivia glanced at Casey sleeping and knew he heard the word from her because that was her choice of words when something went wrong. Casey just shifted a little on the couch.

Landon looked at his mother and she seemed very into her work. He looked at his Aunt Casey and she seemed out of it. He slowly crawled over to Casey since she was his partner in crime. He took one of his Legos and put it on her forehead. He held his giggles when she didn't wake up.

He crawled back to his play area and got the toy walkie-talkies that came in the gift Casey bought him for camping. He looked at Olivia and she wasn't paying attention.

He crawled to Casey and put on walkie-talkie by the headrest by her head. He got up and ran to the corner of the room. He pressed the button on his walkie-talkie. "WAKE UP!"

Casey jumped instantly getting startled.

Landon burst into laughter seeing the Lego he put on her fall down.

Olivia looked up from her folder and just let a smirk play on her lips at the intelligence of her son.

Casey took a deep breath getting very scared at being woken up that way. "That was uncalled for."

"Serves you right for teaching him a bad word" Olivia told her. "Also for buying him walkie-talkies"

Casey ran a hand through her strawberry hair and shook her head "Landon find something better to do then torment Aunt Casey."

"What does Torment mean?" Landon asked as he went over to Olivia. Olivia closed to file so he didn't see the murdered victims.

She picked him up and placed him on her lap. "It means to bother"

"Yea. Look in a mirror" Casey teased.

"Scared. Look in a mirror" Landon smiled at her.

"I wasn't scared" Casey defended.

"Ok children" Olivia shook her head. "Mommy has to work."

Casey stuck her tongue out at him. Landon stuck his out and made a goofy face.

Landon got off Olivia's lap and went over to Casey. He took his Lego that fell off her and handed it over to her as if truce. Casey nodded and took it. She picked him up and placed him on the couch to watch TV with her.

Olivia smiled at two of her favorite people in the world. Somehow Casey was always able to put a smile on his face and Landon always got Casey's goofy side to come out. She heard her phone ringing. She pulled it out and saw an unknown number. "Benson."

"Hey"

She sat up not recognizing the voice "Who's this?"

"You forgot me already? It's Macalister"

Olivia froze up. How could she forget him? She had a constant reminder of him. A two-year-old reminder. "You're back?"

"Yea. I'm in the city again." He answered.

Olivia got up and went to the kitchen so Casey or Landon didn't hear her conversation. "When can we meet?"

"When you want. I'm free tonight."

"Where?"

"Restaurant on 57th and Broadway?"

"Be there at eight?"

"Done"

"Aiden?" Olivia glanced at Landon trying to explain something to Casey but she purposefully pretended she didn't understand him.

"Yea?"

She saw her son smile. Their son. "Never mind."

"Ok. See you then" He hung up the phone at the same time she did.

Olivia ran a hand through her hair. "Case? Can I talk to you for a second?"

Casey playfully tickled Landon and then got up to meet Olivia in the kitchen. "What's up?"

"Can you baby sit him tonight?" She whispered.

"Sure. What you got a hot date your hiding from me?" Casey teased with a smirk.

"Just an old friend" Olivia answered with a shrug. "I wont be out too long."

"Take as much time as you need." Casey told her with a nod. "I'm going to teach him about the Bill of Rights tonight"

They heard Landon groan. "I know the first is freedom of speech. I don't want to know more"

"Yes you do" Casey told him strictly. She playfully winked at Olivia and returned to Landon.

Olivia went to her bedroom to get ready. She spent at least half an hour getting ready. She finally came out hearing Landon and Casey arguing.

"There isn't a difference!" Landon yelled. "It's all the same!"

"No!" Casey yelled back. "Right to Bear Arms doesn't mean you have a bear in your hands. Not the animal."

"It's the same thing I tell you!" He shook his head. "People get hurt by bears and guns hurt people. So there you go"

Olivia shook her head knowing the two were going to have a long night because both were so hot headed. "How do I look?"

They stopped arguing and looked over at her. She had a black dress on that curved around her hips and showed her beautiful long legs.

"Pretty" Landon answered.

"Thanks baby" She gave him a kiss on the head. "And I agree about the bear thing. All the same."

"Don't encourage him," Casey ordered. "He has to learn the proper law."

"I don't have to. I'm being forced." He crossed his arms on his small chest.

"Stop whining. I'll give you chocolate" Casey rolled her eyes.

"Don't give him chocolate this late at night. You wont be able to put him to sleep." Olivia shook her head.

Casey glanced at her dress again. "Just a friend huh?"

Olivia gave her a mean look and then kissed Landon on the cheek. "Goodnight sweetie."

"When are you coming back?" He asked as he stood on the couch and watched his mother grab her purse.

"Soon." She answered. "Be good for Aunt Casey ok?"

"I will." He answered. "Have fun"

"I'll try" She nodded a little at Casey as a thank you for babysitting. She went out the apartment and closed the door behind her.
