I came up with the idea for this a few weeks ago. Let me know what you think about it.

Prolog: Things Get Set
She heard the ringing of the phones and the people running around. It was just a usual Monday morning but some thing was different about it. Olivia heard the little sound that told her that she had reached the 15th floor. She looked up and the door slighted opened. While stepping out of the elevator, she noticed the people running around her, the ringing of the phone and everything else that just seemed so usual to her.
"Hey, Liv! What are you doing here?"
She turned around to see Jack, her boss. She smiled and went to meet him.
"Hm, I guess I just came to work. Why shouldn't I be here?"
"Because I gave you the day off. There is nothing to do for you here and you know that."
"You amaze me over and over again, because to me it looks like here is a lot to do."
"No not at all. Everybody is working on their stuff and there is nothing to do for you. You're one of the best lawyers around. Don't believe everybody who comes in here will get you. But maybe I will have something for you by tomorrow."
"What is it?"
"Can't tell you as long as they really ask us to take care of it. But it will be big, believe me."
He smiled at her and she just smiled back. She shook her head. She was thankful that she had such a great boss, but sometimes it also was more hard to refuse something from him, than it had been with someone she had disliked.
"Thanks, Jack."
"No, thank you, that you are working with me and now go. Hit the road Dunham, I don't wanna see you here again today."
Olivia was laughing and was back in the elevator in no time. She got her cell phone out of her pocket and called Lisa.
"Hey there. Are you up for breakfast?"
"Good morning, Olive. Where do we meet?"
So they sat up a time and Olivia drove back home. When she finally entered he apartment she heard the crying of a baby. There was no other sign of life in the apartment the the crying. Olivia threw her bag on the sofa and hurried into the nearby room. She took the little boy out of the crib and carried him out room and sat down on the sofa.
"Everything is okay, Finn."
She stoked his little head. He was such a cute little boy. He had so pretty and big eyes, in the same color like hers. Even though she knew, that maybe tomorrow his eyes would be hazel again, just like Rachel's. Suddenly something moved net to her and Olivia looked up from Finn, still stoking head. She saw Ella standing next to her, looking down on Finn.
"You made him stop crying, aunt Liv."
Olivia nodded and Ella sat down next to her. Now Ella's small hand was stroking Finn's little head. Ella began to smile and Finn's eyes focused on her.
"Can you hold him?"
Ella shook her head.
"I'm scared I might drop him."
She smiled slightly at Ella, totally understanding her fear. She had felt the same when she had been a child.
"Hey you two. What are you doing over there?"
Ella and Olivia looked around to see Rachel Standing in the door to the room, Olivia had left a few minutes ago.
"What are you even doing here, Liv?"
"Jack kicked my bud for coming to work today. But I'll be gone in an hour."
Rachel shook her head. She smiled.
"Yeah, but I see that's not everything. You are stealing my little boy."
Olivia and Ella smiled at Rachel and she couldn't help but smile back. Olivia got up and went towards Rachel and handed Finn over to her.
An hour later, Olivia was waiting in front of a bakery. She had promise Ella, that she would join them at Marilyn's house.
"Hey, Olive."
It was Lisa. Like always she was smiling and happy and just herself. She hugged Olivia and than went into the bakery, Olivia only a few steps behind her.
"So, why aren't you working today?"
Lisa knew that Olivia always was working and so she really was curious, why she wasn't today.
"I..."
She was staring at the TV screen over Lisa's head.
"The owners of the company, Massive Dynamic, are accused of experimenting with children in the 1980s. Dr. Bell and Dr. Bishop invented a drug called cortexiphan. This drug had unknown effects on the children. There now will be a law suit against the two. This will damage the image of the company massive."
"Olive? Hey, Olive!"
Olivia snapped back to reality and looked at Lisa.
"Yeah, what's up?"
"You were just answering my question and than you stopped talking. What's up?"
"Nothing. Where were I? Oh yes, Jack kicked my ass for coming to work this morning."
Lisa started to giggle.
"He is such a cutie, I don't know why you just don't want him. He is totally into you and you. I don't get it."
She shook her head, but Olivia didn't cared. It was always the same. Every time she mentioned Jack, Lisa needed to tell her how much she just didn't understood her. Just in that moment Olivia's cell phone started to ring.
"It's Jack."
Lisa again started to giggle.
"Dunham?"
"Hey, it's me. I have your new case."
"Let me guess. It's called Massive Dynamic."
"How..."
"I just saw the news."
He was silent.
"Jack?"
"So I'll expect you tomorrow as usual. I tell you everything then."
"Okay, bye."
Than she hung up. Lisa was standing in front of her smiling widely.
"What did he say?"
"I just got a new case. I'm sorry, but I think it would be best, when I leave and look what I can do."
"Olive, why are you leaving me all the time when we want to do something?"
"I guess we just have bad luck."
Olivia smiled at her and hugged her.
"Maybe it will work next time."
And than Olivia was out on the street heading towards her car.
Hope you liked it, even tough it wasn't that much, but it's going to be better within the next chap.
Good or bad reviews are welcomed.
