The night was coming to an end but everyone was having a good time.

"Okay guys, I think it's time for me to go". Liv said as gestured for Nick to let her out.

"Yeah. Liv's right. I'm going to head home too". Nick said agreeing with Liv. The others decided that they should leave too so everyone was outside either waiting for a cab or just making small talk.

Dean saw that Liv was walking out the bar so he decided to follow her.

"Good luck ". Mitchel told him because he knew that he would need it.

When Dean got outside he saw that all of her colleagues were still surrounding her and he even recognized one of them. He needed to find a way to get to her without either of them being suspicious of anything.

He decided that there was no easy way to approach her so he just went to her.

Nick saw out of the corner of his eye a guy was getting close to his partner so he whispered something in her ear, letting her know that the same guy from the bar was coming her way.

"Hey Liv, can I talk to you for a sec?" Dean asked as he really wished that she would just accept his invitation.

"Dean". Liv said with a sigh. "I don't think that's a good idea". Liv told him seriously.

"Come on Liv. Please". Dean begged her wich was hard because it was in the front of other people. Any other time he wouldn't have a problem begging Liv but now they had company. He still felt the need to though.

"She said no". Nick said Turing to Dean. He didn't know the guy but Olivia was his partner and he would do anything to keep her safe, espically if an unknown guy was bothering her.

"It's okay Nick". Liv said as she led Dean to a corner to talk.

Nick and Fin decided to wait for Liv as the others left to go home for the night.

"Hey. I know you've known Liv a lot longer than I have so you might know who he is. Do you know who he is?" Nick asked Fin after a while.

"No. He's not familiar at all". Fin lied to Nick. Olivia is the type of person who doesn't want anyone to know her buisness and he respected that.

"What do you want Dean". Olivia said rather bluntly. He wanted to talk and right now he was quiet but she had to go home to relieve Casey of Noah so this had to be quick.

"Olivia, I just really want you to know how sorry I am for the way things ended between us and if I could, I would go back and change them." Dean told her truthfully and a little testy eyed. "Please forgive me".

"Dean. I don't hold what you did against you. I forgave and forgot all about it". She told him with a smile. Dean just stared at her after that. He was speechless due to that that she forgave him and she looked to beautiful tonight and all the time. He Could just get lost in her smile.

"Let me take you home Liv". Dean asked. He then saw the look on her face and just knew she would say no. "Please Liv. It's the least I could do".

"I don't think so Dean. I have to go". Liv said. Dean didn't stop her as she went to wait for a cab with the two men who were with her. What could he do?

"Hey. You all right?". Nick asked his partner.

"Yeah. I'm fine . She told him her signature remark. I cab then pulled pulled up and Fin hailed it to stop and when it did, Nick opened the door for Liv to get in and shut it after her. When the cab drove off, Nick and Fin both parted their separate ways to go home for the night. They had a whole weekend ahead of them to get some sleep.

When Liv got to her apartment building, she decided to use the stairs and climes up to the fourth floor and walked through the corridor to her apartment. When she got there, she slid the key in the door as quietly as possible so as not to awake anyone who might have asleep. When she got in, she saw Noah in his crib asleep and Casey was spread out on the couch asleep with the TV on.

She then carried Noah to the bedroom and layed him on her bed and surrounded him with pillows in case he rolled over.

She went back in to the living room to wake up Casey.

"Casey, wake us ". Nothing. She shook Casey this time and got her to wake up.

Casey felt drowsy and was having a nice dream before she was awoken.

"Hey." Liv said as she sat down next to Casey after she got up.

"Hey. How was your night?" Casey asked.

"It was... Interesting." Liv said referring to her encounter with Dean. "How was yours".

"Tiring. But we had fun". Casey said referring to Noah. "What was so interesting about you night?" Cast asked as she stretched.

"I ran in to Dean Porter". Liv told her with a sigh.

Casey sat up at the mention of the name. She knew what happened between Oliva and Dean and knew that her friend was confused after their incident and now she saw him again. "What happened ".

"He just said he was sorry for the way things ended." Liv told her, intentionally leaving out the part of his drink offer and his offer to drive her home.

"Aren't all men". Casey said as she relaxed in the chair again." What did you tell him?"

"That its no big deal". Liv said not giving Casey the specifics.

"Okay". Casey said knowing that Liv didn't tell her everything but knew she would be told at a later date.

"Are we still on for tomorrow?" Liv asked referring to their plans to take Noah to the park.

"Yeah. I even brought my clothes to stay the night". Casey said with a yawn.

"Great.". Liv said getting up. "It's late. Get to bed".

"Night". Casey got up and headed for the guest bedroom wich she always slept in when slept over at Liv's.

when Liv went to bed that night she kissed Noah goodnight and instantly fell asleep.
