Fin was panicking as he rushed out of the apartment with his six year old son, Ken, in tow. Ken was currently sick, and Fin was taking him to the doctor for a prescription. He practically ran out to his car, opening the car door in a hurry. Ken quickly settled into the back seat while his dad drove off.

They reached Mercy General Hospital in a matter of minutes. The father and son walked towards the pediatrics wing of the hospital. Fin went to the counter, asking the receptionist about Ken's appointment. She assured him the appointment was still on then handed him a clipboard stacked with papers.

The stressed out detective sat down, writing the information on the papers. Ken sat quietly beside his dad, fiddling with the portable game player in his hands. They sat in the waiting room for fifteen minutes before a petite, red-headed nurse appeared in the door way. She called them into the examination room. The nurse measured Ken's height and weight, before telling them the doctor would be in soon and leaving, shutting the door lightly behind her.

Fin sighed; he needed to get to work. He didn't have time to wait for this doctor. A few minutes later, the door opened. Finally! Fin thought turning his attention from his son to the person walking in. His eyes widened, when he laid his eyes upon her. She was a very beautiful woman. She was quite tall and slender. She had milk chocolate colored skin and dark, curly hair.

She smiled softly at the man and the boy sitting in the examination room before her. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I'm Dr. Melinda Warner." She stated, holding her hand out for Fin to shake.

He gladly accepted her hand, and he introduced himself. "I'm Detective Odafin Tutuola, but you can call me Fin. And this is my son Ken." Fin said, noticing she wasn't wearing a wedding band. Although that didn't mean, she wasn't already in a committed relationship.

"Ah, one of New York's finest." She said before turning to Ken. She sat down in the rolling chair in front of the exam table Ken was seated on. "Now what seems to be the problem?" She asked the smile still on her lips.

Ken was a very shy child. He looked up at the woman before him. "Well my head hurts really badly, and my throat hurts." Ken mumbled, sounding very miserable.

"Is that all?" The pediatrics doctor questioned.

"He has a very high fever, and he keeps coughing." Fin told her his input.

"Alright then," She stated, grabbing the thermometer from the counter. "Now Ken, can you open your mouth, so I can take your temperature?" She asked. The boy nodded, opening his mouth. She waited for the instrument to beep, pulling the thermometer away. It read 104 degrees Fahrenheit. She sighed; the poor boy must be feeling miserable with that fever. She finished with her examination. "It seems that Ken has the flu. I'll write a prescription for him. He should rest and drink plenty of fluids."

Fin nodded, grateful it was only the flu. "Alright thank you Doctor, I'll be sure to take care of him." Fin said smiling at the woman.

Melinda finished filling out the prescription. "Okay. Now Ken, would you like a lollipop?" She asked the young boy.

He nodded eagerly, jumping off of the exam table. Melinda held out the jar full of the colorful candies, waiting for Ken to pick one. She smiled as he pulled one out and immediately ripped off its wrapping. Melinda loved children, which is the reason why she became a pediatrics doctor. She sometimes just wished she had a child of her own. She was still young though, it could happen soon. She actually thought that this detective was kind of cute, but he had a child meaning he was probably married. She was knocked from her thoughts when she heard a voice talking to her. It was the detective's.

"Well um…. Dr. Warner…. I noticed that um you weren't wearing a ring, and um I was wondering if maybe you'd like to…. go out sometime." He stuttered. He was never good at talking to women. He may have acted like a badass, but he was weak when it came to beautiful women. He hadn't been in a relationship since his divorce from Teresa almost three years ago. He decided to just take a chance with the doctor. She might turn him down, but at least he tried.

She had a look of happiness on her face. She couldn't believe this man had just asked her out. "Um sure, I'd like that a lot." She answered him.

"Really?" Fin questioned, sounding surprised. He didn't believe, she would have said yes. He was quite happy that she did though. He'd really love the opportunity to see her again and to get to know her better.

"Yeah, of course," She replied, grabbing a stray piece of paper and jotting her cell phone number down on it. "Here," She said, handing him the paper. "You can call me, when you want to go out."

"Well thanks, Doctor. I'll call you soon." He said, flashing the young doctor a smile. He then grabbed Ken's hand, pulling him towards the door.

She smiled a he opened the door. "Oh and Fin, you can call me Melinda." She added, giving his a small wink as he left her office.

When Fin shut the door, he turned to his son, smiling at him. "Daddy's got a date!" He exclaimed happily as they continued to walk out of the hospital and to Fin's car.

AN: So I wanna dedicate this fic to Sister of the Light, because she's just plain awesome. She encourages all of my stories, even when they aren't in the SVU fandom. I love getting review from her, they always make me smile.

Anyways please excuse any mistakes; it's currently 4:45am. I'm very tired now.
