The Holidays

Chapter 1: Sizzling

"Trick or treat!"

Olivia smiled down at the little girl that was dressed as a butterfly for Halloween. "What type of candy would you like sweetie?" She asked showing a tray of different type of candies.

"Skittles?" The little girl asked, the question more-so directed to her mom than Olivia. At the smile from her mom, she reached for the candy.

"What do you say honey?" Her mom asked her.

"Thank you!" The butterfly girl smiled.

"You're welcome." Olivia smiled watching as daughter and mother walked away. Shutting the door, she walked back into the living room where she could hear laughter. "Okay, what's so funny?" Olivia questioned taking a seat on the couch and staring at her two friends that were laughing their ass off.

"Casey got a ticket." Alex spat out through her laughter.

"You what?" Olivia asked surprised.

"I ran a red light." Casey smiled.

"Casey!" Olivia exclaimed.

"What? I was checking out this really hot police officer, so I wasn't pay attention, the next thing I know, I'm getting pulled over."

"Wait, there's more, the police officer that she was checking out is the same guy that pulled her over." Melinda added, her laughter dying down.

"That's not even the worst of it." Casey mumbled. "When he came up to me, I was so tong-tied that I couldn't even say anything. He thought I didn't speak English so he got a woman officer to come up to me and speak Spanish. I didn't understand a word she was saying and once she finished talking the only words that came out my mouth was 'really hot'. She smiled at me while the guy looked amused. I bet he thinks I'm a lesbian now." Casey groaned.

Alex and Melinda started laughing again, and Olivia couldn't help but to double over in laughter too.

"Case, how come every time you see a hot guy you get into trouble?" Alex inquired.

"I can't help it; I love a man in a uniform." Casey grinned.

Olivia got up as she heard the door bell ring. Grabbing the tray of candy, she opened the door to see a little replica of batman at her door. Grinning, she opened the screen door.

"Trick or treat!" She received a toothy-grin from the boy starring up at her with blue eyes through the mask.

"Where are your parents?" Olivia frowned seeing that he was by himself. He looked to be about 5 or 6.

"Dickie! What did I tell you about leaving my sight of view?" His father scowled at him.

"Sorry dad." Dickie apologized. "Candy?" He asked staring back at Olivia and raising his bag for some candy.

Olivia couldn't help but laugh at the innocent look he was giving her. "Sure kiddo, take your pick." Olivia said holding the tray in front of her. She watched as Dickie reached for a candy bar and then retrieved his hand back. He frowned as he looked between two candy bars, deciding which to take. "I'll tell you what; I'll let you have two if you try not to give your father a heart attack next time and its okay with him." Olivia said smiling at the boy's father.

The father smiled at her, showing his perfect straight white teeth. "Go head Dickie, choose two."

Dickie reached for the snickers and skittles that he had been eyeing. "Thank you!" He said using his manners that his father taught him.

"You're welcome." Olivia smiled watching the little boy run over to his father and grab his hand. The father turned her way once more and flashed her a smile before walking off with his son. Closing the door she retreated back to her living to see her friends collecting their things except Casey.

"Hey we're about to head out." Melinda said. "I have a late dinner with Hank."

"And I have a date with Fin." Alex grinned.

"Well you guys have fun and call me later." Olivia said as she hugged them both goodbye. Returning to the living room, she saw Casey sitting on the couch.

"Mind if I stay a little longer, I have nowhere to be." Casey grinned.

"Be my guest." Olivia smiled walking to the kitchen with Casey trailing behind.

"So what are we having for dinner?" Casey questioned.

"I'm having some spaghetti, salad, and garlic bread." Olivia grinned putting emphasis on 'I'm'.

"Yeah, spaghetti sounds good, maybe with a little wine too." Casey smirked grabbing the wine and opening it with the corkscrew and then pouring her a glass.

Laughing, Olivia pointed to the cabinet. "Hand me the pasta noodles and pasta sauce." She said putting a pot of water on the stove.

"So what's with the twinkle in your eyes?" Casey asked retrieving the items that Olivia wanted.

"What are you talking about?"

"When you came back from answering the door you had a twinkle in your eyes, like you say a really hot guy." Olivia kept quiet, not saying anything. "Oh my god! You totally saw a hot guy. So, tell me, how hot was he?" Casey grinned.

"Case, I wasn't paying attention to the father, my focus was on his son who was trick or treating." Olivia looked over at Casey to see her quirking an eye brow at her. "Okay, he was mega sexy." Olivia laughed.

"Was he married?"

"I don't know; I wasn't exactly looking at his ring finger." Olivia replied putting the noodles in the boiling water.

"Did you at least get his number?"

"What? No."

"Liv, you haven't been on a date in forever, this could have been what you needed to get back in the game. And you just lost your chance with a hot guy that you'll probably only see once."

"Actually, this is my second time seeing him. I saw him at the grocery store two days ago."

"He is definitely single then."

"How do you figure?"

"What guy do you know likes going grocery shopping?" At the silence she received, Casey continued. "Exactly, so he must be single."

"Maybe his wife is sick, and he was taking care of grocery shopping for her, or maybe he actually does like shopping, or maybe-"

"Okay, okay I get. Let's say there is a 75 percent chance he's single. That's pretty high odds."

"Case, what are the chances of me actually seeing him again." Olivia sighed.

"Well he did take his kid trick or treating around this area, so he must live around this area."

"Or he could have just decided to take his kid trick or treating in this area." Olivia offered another possibility.

"Fine, let's say there is a 50 percent chance that he lives around here and we already established that there is a 75 percent chance that he is single. So the question is, do you want to see him again?"

Olivia bit her lip, debating if she really wanted to see him. Deciding that she did, she nodded her head.

"Good, after you get off work tomorrow we'll go to the grocery store first."

"Case, I don't even need any groceries."

Casey set the bottle of wine next to the sink, and then gently knocked over the bottle. "Oops." She said innocently as the glass cracked and the liquid spilled in the sink.

"Casey!" Olivia exclaimed, surprised she just did that. "That bottle cost 30 dollars!"

"Well now you have a reason to go to the grocery store." Casey smirked

"You are soooo buying me a new bottle. You're intolerable." Olivia mumbled.

"I know, but you love me anyways."

"Yeah, yeah, just help me finish cooking." Olivia said as Casey's laughter filled the kitchen.

EO

Olivia's heels clicked on the hard wood floor as she walked down the halls of her work building. She was already ready to get the day over with. She felt kind of stalkish thinking about the fact that she was going to the grocery store later with Casey to see the mysterious man than got her attention. The more she thought about, the more she decided that she should just forget about it.

"Hey Liv." The receptionist at the desk greeted her.

"Hey Jules." Olivia smiled.

"You have an appointment in 10 minutes, but your client is here early so he's waiting in the waiting room for you." Jules said handing her the client's chart.

"Thanks Jules." Olivia said as she walked down to the waiting room. Minus well get it over with now. "Richard Stabler." Olivia announced reading the name on the chart. She looked up to see a little boy walk up to her with his father. Noticing that it was the man and boy from the other night she smiled at them. "Right this way." She said as she led them to her office. Olivia gestured them to take a seat as she continued to read the chart. She noticed that under the 'emergency contact' it said a woman's name and then grandmother when it asked for relationship. Furrowing her brow, she realized she did not once see the name of a mother that belonged to the little boy, which meant this his father, was most likely single. Redirecting her focus, she continued at the task at hand. "You must be Richard?" Olivia smiled at the little boy.

"You can call me Dickie." Dickie smiled.

"Well Dickie, you can call me Olivia." Olivia smiled. "I almost didn't recognize you without you batman costume on." Olivia grinned.

"My dad wouldn't let me wear it again. He said maybe next year." Dickie pouted slightly.

"Well all superheroes need their rest." Olivia said hoping she would earn a smile out of him, when she did she felt her heart jump with joy. "Nice to see you again." Olivia smiled directing her attention at the father.

"Likewise." He smiled.

"Olivia Benson." Olivia said extending her hand.

"Elliot Stabler." Elliot said taking her hand and shaking it.

"So, you're getting your flu shot today?" Olivia questioned Dickie, trying to keep her eyes off of Elliot.

"Yeah, my dad says I have to. I don't like shots. They hurt."

"You wanna know a secret? I don't like shots either." Olivia said trying to make him feel better. "Can you take off your jacket for me and roll up the leave of your right arm for me please?" Olivia said wetting the cotton ball and grabbing the needle after she injected the necessary liquid into it. She watched as Elliot helped Dickie out of his jacket, and then rolled up his sleeve. Olivia wiped the cotton ball on his shoulder. "Can you lean back for me?" Dickie did as he was told. "Now can you slouch for me and relax your arm muscles for me?" Olivia asked because she knew if he did that it wouldn't hurt as much. Once he did that, Olivia grabbed the syringe and gently tapped his arm with the needle and then stuck it in and injected him with the shot. She saw his eyes widen as the needle went into his skin and then he relaxed once it was over. "So?"

"It felt like someone pinched me. I don't like pinches either." Dicke said as Olivia put a bad-aid on his shoulder.

"Why don't you go pick out a sticker." Olivia said to Dickie. Olivia smiled as she went to her computer and started updating his file.

"So, how long have you been a pediatrician?" Elliot said trying to make conversation.

"A little over a year."

"So how's Mr. Benson?" Elliot asked.

Olivia laughed at his attempt to find out if she was single. "My father's great, thanks for asking." Olivia grinned knowing that wasn't what he was talking about.

Elliot smiled at her, glad to see that she had a sense of humor. "Let's try this again, are you single?"

"Oh is that what you meant?" Olivia smiled. "Are you?" Olivia asked directing the question to him.

"I wouldn't be asking you out if I wasn't." Elliot smiled.

"Is that what you've been trying to do? Hmmm, I didn't notice." Olivia held in a smirk as she enjoyed toying with him.

"You're right; I don't know what I'm thinking. Come on Dickie, time to go." Elliot said hoping that Olivia would fall for what he was doing.

"Wait." Olivia said.

Bingo, Elliot thought. "Yes?" He smiled as he turned to face her.

"Dickie forgot his jacket." Olivia grinned handing him the jacket, she knew what he was doing.

Elliot playfully growled at her knowing that she was trying to make him directly ask her out. Deciding he really did want to take her out, he sighed. "Olivia, would you like to go out on a date with me sometime?" Elliot asked giving her a dazzling smile. From the blush on her cheeks, he knew that his smile affected her which made him want to smile bigger.

"What did you have in mind?" Olivia asked trying to stay calm, even though she was jumping for joy in the inside.

"Dinner and a movie, say 6:00 tomorrow?" Elliot asked.

"Sure." Olivia smiled.

"Alright then, I'll pick you up at 6." Elliot smiled at her.

"Don't be late."

"For you? Never." Elliot smirked. "Let's go Dickie." He said ushering his son out and then shooting her a last smile.

Olivia smiled back and watched as they walked off. She sat in her chair amazed by the fact that she had a date by a very blue-eyed gorgeous guy. Oh yea, she was definitely ready for this day to be over and for tomorrow to come!
