Disclaimer: Not Mine

Restaurant 6:15 P.M.
"How's your food kiddo?"

"Good. Casey okay?" Abby asked looking at Casey who was leaning against the wall of the booth.

Olivia looked at Casey as well. 'She really is tired.' "She's fine sweetie, she's just sleepy."

"She no have nap?"

Olivia smiled. "No I guess she didn't. You done kiddo?"

"Yup."

"Well then let's go. Put your things on. Casey. Case, sweetie. Baby come on we're leaving."

"Huh?"

"Come on. Case you can sleep in the movie if you want but we're leaving now so come on."

After the movie 10:25 P.M.
"Casey you want to get a cup of coffee?"

Casey yawned. "I'm sorry I wasn't a better date."

"It's okay baby, I didn't mind."

"Liv you paid for my dinner which I barely touched and a movie I saw all of five minutes of and you won't let me pay you back. That's not okay."

"It is because Abby had fun and she enjoyed the movie and to tell you the truth I wasn't really watching the movie either. I was busy watching you and Abby. I could do that all day."

"Liv I promise I'll be a better date next time. But it's getting late I think I should go home and get some sleep."

"I wish you wouldn't. I mean you can stay with me I don't bite unless you want me to." Olivia teased.

"Ha. Ha. Very funny detective. But if you want me to stay with you I will."

"I do. So it's settled. You're staying with me tonight."

Apartment of Olivia Benson 11:00 P.M.
Olivia opened her door. Casey was holding Abby who had fallen asleep right after the movie. "Where do you want me to put her?"

"You can put her on the couch." Olivia said walking into her bedroom. Casey took Abby's hat, coat, mittens, shoes, and socks off. She then placed her on the couch and covered her with a blanket. When Olivia didn't come back to the living room Casey went to find her. Olivia was in the spare bedroom that looked more like a storage closet more than anything else. Casey snaked her arms around Olivia's waist.

"This is going to Abby's room once I clean it up and get a new bed for her. Maybe I'll paint it her favorite color." Olivia turned in Casey's arms. "Do you think that I'm crazy? I want to give her a
home here with me. But I don't know if I can do it. I've got one week to get everything set up or else she goes to a foster or group home and I let her down."

"You're not crazy baby. You can do it and I'll help you."

"You will?" Casey nodded. "You know I like the idea of you and me giving her a home."

Casey smiled. "Me too. I love you." Casey kissed Olivia.

Olivia broke the kiss. "I love you too. I laid out some pajamas for you in case you wanted to take a shower before bed."

Casey smiled wickedly. "Are you going to join me?"

Olivia swallowed. "Do you want me to?"

Casey bit her bottom lip then she whispered in Olivia's ear "Yes."

Casey pulled Olivia into the bathroom and locked the door. Olivia started to undress Casey slowly. "Are you sure about this? We don't have to do this."

"It's okay Liv I want to. Now shh before you wake up Abby and we won't be able to do anything."

45 minutes later Olivia wrapped a towel around Casey and herself and went into her bedroom. She closed and locked the door behind them. They made love and got dressed before they went to sleep. Olivia went to make sure the front door was locked and checked on Abby. Olivia found it a lot easier to fall asleep with Casey next to her. (Knock)(Knock) 'What the hell? It's three in the morning.'

"Owivia I'm scared." Abby cried.

Olivia sat up. 'Oh shit Abby. Did I unlock the door?' "Come in baby girl."

The door opened slowly. "Can I sweep wit you?"

"Of course you can. Come here kiddo." Liv lifted Abby onto the bed and placed her in between Casey and herself.

"Hi sweetie. You okay? What's wrong?"

"Scared dark."

"Oh you're afraid of the dark." Abby nodded. "It's okay, you're okay honey. Nothing bad is going to happen we won't let it." Casey hugged Abby until she calmed down. "You think you can sleep now?"

Abby looked at Casey. "Tay wit me kay."

"I'm not going anywhere sweetie. Neither is Olivia. We're right here." Casey talked to Abby until she was sure she was sleeping.

"You're amazing." Olivia whispered as she kissed Casey good night again. "Night. Night, baby."

"Night, night. I love you." whispered Casey as she drifted off to sleep again.

Olivia smiled and whispered "I love you." And closed her eyes.

Thursday 7:35 A.M. Apartment of Olivia Benson
Casey woke up and smiled at the sight of Olivia hugging Abby. 'She's going to be a great mother.' Casey glanced at the clock on the nightstand next to Olivia. "Shit!" She said a little to loudly.

Liv woke up when she heard Casey swear. "Hi sweetie, what's wrong?"

Casey pointed to the clock. "I'm going to be so late. I still have to go home and change."

"Baby calm down, why don't you wear the suit you wore yesterday and borrow one of my shirts."

"That's a great idea thanks babe." Casey put her trousers on while Olivia picked out a shirt for her to wear. "So what are you two going to do today?"

"I was going to start looking for a babysitter and a daycare. Why?" Liv asked handing Casey a shirt.

"Because I told you I wanted to help. Maybe I can go with you during lunch?"

"Okay, how about 11:00 A.M. or do you have to be in court?"

"That's fine as long as I'm back before one. I'll see the two of you then." Casey quickly kissed Abby on the cheek and then Olivia. "Bye sweetie."

"Bye babe." Olivia smiled closing the door.

"Owivia?"

"Yeah, sweetie?"

"Casey go?"

"Yeah, she had to go to work honey."

"Oh. She come back?"

"We're going to see her at lunch time. You really like her don't you?"

Abby nods "She nice and funny."

Olivia smiled to herself. "You hungry kiddo?"

"A wittle."
