Chapter 10
A week later was the actual anniversary of the adoption hearing and Olivia had intended to take Calvin out for a special day of activities. Cragen had given her the next day off and she was excited as she exited his office. The slow day at the precinct had finally come to a close and she was packing up her stuff as she was getting ready to leave. Nick had disappeared into the crib in search of something in his locker and Fin was just texting someone on his cell phone. Looking around, she didn't see Amanda and she wondered where the Southern girl had wandered off to. Shrugging her shoulders and turning off her computer, she stood to leave, and Fin stood up at the same time.
"You got tomorrow off?" Fin asked.
"Yes. Calvin and I are going to spend the day together. We still haven't figured out if we're going to celebrate the hearing date or just the date the actual paperwork went through but for the first year, we figured we'd celebrate both," she smiled.
"That's cool. You know I'm glad this whole thing worked out. You've never been happier and Calvin is a great kid," he smiled slightly. Olivia beamed.
"I can't take all the credit," she said.
"Oh I think you can," Calvin said, which caused Olivia to turn around. She was about to ask how he got here when he pulled her into a hug and that's when she saw Amanda putting her car keys back into her pocket.
"You guys…" she started but never finished as Nick came out of the crib with a cake.
"We thought we'd surprise you," Munch smiled as he whipped out candles from his desk drawer and stuck them into the cake after Nick set it down on Olivia's desk.
"I don't know what to say," Olivia confessed.
"You don't have to say anything, you're family," Cragen smiled as he exited his office.
"Besides the ice cream is melting," Amanda teased as she put the bag containing Calvin's favorite ice cream, chocolate, on the desk. Olivia chuckled.
After the cake and ice cream disappeared, the group sat just chitchatting and enjoying each other's company. It was nice to take time out for themselves and just relax. Cragen looked at his watch and chuckled,
"Even in our free time, we spend more time at the precinct. All right, everyone out. I don't care where you go but you can't stay here."
"Sounds like an open invitation to get a drink. Who wants in?" Nick asked.
"I'm in," Fin said.
"Me too," Amanda smiled.
"I think we'll pass," Olivia said as she realized it was almost seven thirty and Calvin had yet to eat dinner and Elliot was going to stop over around eight.
"Bummer," Munch said as he grabbed his coat.
"Well Calvin's still on probation, so he probably shouldn't be drinking," she teased. The young man had managed to miss his curfew on Sunday, when he was hanging out with his best friend, Jason, and Olivia had been firm. No being out after eight pm until Friday when he was allowed to go sleepover at Jason's house again. The summer had been tricky as Calvin was at that age in between needing a babysitter and being home by himself. Most of the time, the lady across the hall, Mrs. Juarez, kept an eye on him and Olivia couldn't thank her enough. Her son, Julio, and Calvin got along great so it worked out for the best. In fact, when Julio needed looking after on the few occasions, the sitter wasn't available; Olivia had taken the opportunity to help out. Mrs. Juarez worked the night shift as a cleaning lady in an office building and basically the kids would play until bed and then the rest of the evening was easy.
"Busted," Calvin shook his head.
"Well y'all know a playa' has to play," Fin chuckled. Olivia shook her head as Calvin and Fin fist bumped.
"Who would have thought a detective would be such a bad influence on him?" Amanda shook her head and pushed her partner toward the door.
"I thought you guys were leaving," the Captain called from his office as he turned out the lights.
"On the move, Cap," Nick called out as they quickly left the precinct. Stepping out into the warm night air, Olivia pulled Calvin close.
"That was nice of you to surprise me," she smiled, as they approached the passenger side of the car.
"Welcome," he smiled back before climbing into the vehicle. Olivia went around, fired the car up, and they headed for home.
"Good thing I had keys," Elliot chuckled as they entered the apartment, twenty minutes past eight o'clock.
"They threw a little party at the precinct," Olivia smiled slightly.
"I told them not to spoil your appetite," Elliot shook his head as he pulled Chinese food out of the bag and set it on the kitchen table.
"Yum!" Calvin smiled.
"Go wash up," Olivia smirked as Calvin dashed off to the bathroom.
"Hey babe," Elliot leaned over the table and gave her a quick peck on the lips.
"Hey yourself," she said.
"We're going to eat right?" Calvin asked.
"Did you wash up already?" Olivia gave him a look like she knew he hadn't done it right.
"Of course," he smiled.
"Uh huh," she shook her head as Calvin took his seat. Elliot grabbed his hands and took a look.
"Pretty clean Liv," he said. She rolled her eyes, knowing that Elliot was probably making it up, and they tucked into their food.
After Calvin had gone to bed, Olivia and Elliot stayed up to watch the news. Then they turned off the TV and headed for the bedroom. More and more, Elliot had been spending the night and more than once, Olivia had brought up the fact that he really shouldn't keep his apartment if all he kept doing was spending the night with them. Now she lay in bed waiting for him to come out of the bathroom. They had something to discuss and the more she thought about it, the more nervous she was becoming.
"Hey sexy, whatcha thinking about?" Elliot asked, breaking her reverie, as he slipped beneath the sheets and pressed his lips to her cheek. He was close enough to her that she could tell he was completely naked by the fact that something was poking her in the leg.
"I was thinking about something but you seem to be thinking about something else," she waggled her eyebrows.
"Well considering this is actually the first night I'm sleeping over here since last week, so yes, I had plans," he smirked.
"And what if I wasn't in the mood?" She teased.
"Well I don't see how that's possible since I know that you and I haven't been together since last week," he pointed out. She couldn't argue with that logic. She'd been sick two weeks ago so things had been off the table until she felt better. Then the first day she'd felt better, they'd done their darnedest to make it up to each other. Then Elliot had been working late so he could have the weekend off. He had to go in tomorrow but they had dinner plans after which, they would most certainly use the empty apartment for their extracurricular activities.
Leaning over to his ear she whispered something naughty and he smirked. His hands roamed under the sheets to find she'd been jerking him around.
"You were naked first," he said as he kissed her starting with her lips and working his way down to her neck.
"Well I have to play a little hard to get," she teased as her back arched due to his ministrations with his now fully occupied hands. He chuckled and said,
"I have something to cure you of that thought."
"Show me big boy, instead of talking," at this point the game was on.
