i would just like to point out that this is the first fanfic i have write with crime stuff in it so i apologise if its shockingly unconvincing and bad...its difficult to balance that and the story i want it to have. i also apologise for any spelling mistakes, i actually wrote this chapter a long time ago and forgot about it
Entering the precinct after the drive back Olivia was more than ready to go home, she couldn't remember the last time she had actually fallen asleep in her own bed and not the lumpy mattresses that occupy the crib. Placing the car seat on her desk she quickly checked that Isabelle hadn't woken up and went to get herself a coffee before proceeding with the endless amount of paper work that was waiting for her at her desk.
Sitting back at her desk she only had time to see Cragen exit his office before Isabelle woke up. A screaming child in a police precinct definitely wasn't a normal sound as almost everyone turned to look at Olivia. Taking her from the car seat Olivia quickly climbed the stairs to the crib taking her to some where quieter to calm her down.
Turning on the light Liv tried everything to settle Isabelle after half an hour she descended the stairs with a still crying baby snatched the dipper bag sitting on Elliot's desk, turning back towards the stairs she shouted back to her colleagues "one of you better go and get some baby formula before this gets really ugly."
The sounds of Isabelle's crying grew quieter as Liv slammed the crib door. Looking at each other Elliot slowly gathered his things and started towards the door. "And where do you think your going?" Cragen's voice stopped Elliot in his tracks; turning round Elliot addressed the Capitan
"With four kids trust me you don't want to argue with a woman trying to sooth a screaming baby." With that he exited the precinct.
It was dark by the time he got back and Olivia's desk was still empty. Carrying the paper bag up the stairs he stopped short of entering the crib, not hearing anything inside he figured it was safe to enter. Pushing the door open he could just make out the outline of Olivia lying on the far bed. The light from a near by window was the only light source in the room, illuminating Olivia's face as well as the sleeping baby lying in her arms. Isabelle slept soundly happily sucking on Olivia's little finger as both of them slept. Smiling to him self at just how good Olivia was with children her quietly placed the bag on the bed next to her and backed away gently.
Like clock work Olivia woke at 5.30 blinking sleepily at the morning light that was streaming through the window she quickly remembered she was in the crib. Looking down to the sleeping infant in her arms she suddenly remembered the events of the night before. She was just about to attempt to stand up when Isabelle began to stir, quickly shifting her to a different position she was suddenly met with the violent cries of a hungry child. Quickly feeding Isabelle with the supplies Elliot had gotten the night before Isabelle's cries soon subsides much to the relief of Olivia. Taking the bag she walked back down stairs to her desk, noticing how quiet it was she guessed no one was yet at work. Sitting down at her desk Olivia placed Isabelle on her knee, taking some of the toys sitting on the chair in the corner she set about trying to keep her entertained until Elliot arrived.
She didn't know how long had passed but she suddenly found herself thinking about her own childhood again. A wave of sadness hit her as she realized that even though Serena wasn't much of a mother but she was still alive while she was growing up, something Isabelle was never going to have. Almost sensing the change in Olivia's mood Isabelle looked up from playing with her toys and looked almost questioningly at Liv. Smiling sadly at the small brunette sitting on her lap Olivia bent down and placed a light kiss on her forehead, causing a series of giggles to escape Isabelle. Laughing out loud Olivia playfully tickled the baby girl until Isabelle finally tired herself out. Snuggling up to Olivia again she quickly fell asleep to the steady beat of Olivia's heart.
Looking down at Isabelle once more Olivia silently wondered if she would ever have children. Her thought was cut short as the precinct door opened and in walked Elliot, smiling at her partner she indicated the sleeping child and gently placed her in the car seat once more. Placing the blanket tightly around her sleeping form Olivia turned back around to greet her partner.
