"'It's Friday, the day of the dance! The play went well, very, very well. Everyone was there. Dickie played my counterpart/boyfriend in the play. Everyone in the giant auditorium gave us a standing ovation. What he did next was unexpected, after the director introduced us and our parts, he handed Dickie the microphone, and he got down on one knee and said, 'Trinity, will you be my girl?' and I said 'always and forever.' And….. He KISSED me. In front of his father, again, but this time, I was over the hurt, the pain, and being a victim. It was my time to shine as my own person. I did not care that Elliot was standing maybe 20 feet away off stage, or that Olivia was, or Casey. I was enjoying it. Our hearts fluttered together in perfect, romantic harmony. It lasted, a minute maybe two. That is an eternity in love. We broke, and tears came to our faces, he embraced me, and said in my ear, 'I love you.' I thought this was weird at first, 'cause we hadn't been together that long. But just the same, I said 'I love you too.' Now, I was dressed in a black, strapless dress that was a wrap, I wasn't wearing any stockings. It was simple, there was a black ribbon under my bust, and my hair was down. My hair in a pony tail was my security blanket. It felt safe. But I felt safer with Dickie. I had taken his request; I was wearing 3 inch black stiletto heels. And Olivia had helped me with my makeup. There was a knock at the door, Olivia stopped putting my blush on, and placed it on my vanity mirror table. Olivia called from the door and I stepped into the hallway, and Dickie and Elliot were there. He kissed me and took my hand. We caught a cab to the restaurant and we met up with Eric and Robin.'
"Hey." I said
"Trinity, right?" asks a red haired girl,
'Damn, she's a spitting image of Casey.' I thought
"Uh, yeah. You really look like Casey, I mean your Mom."
"That's okay, you can call her Casey." she says extending her hand, we shook and so did Eric
"So, Eric…" I started, "You're Mom's the famous Alex Cabot?"
"Yeah. She's coming back to work at the DA's office. Looks like you'll have 2 ADA's now."
"Sweet." says Dickie, hugging me from the side, "Isn't that great honey?"
"Yeah." I say, "So, shall we go inside?" I gesture
"Of course," says Robin, "Can you tell me about my Mom?"
"Sure." I say "What do you want to know?"
"Everything. Past, hair, boyfriends?"
"Well, she's a redhead, that's where you got it from. She's thin. Ah, a hell of an ADA. Takes every case to heart. Really sweet. Has a small temper. I mean REALLY small. Like, I have the WORLDS biggest temper. I mean it, when I'm interrogating a suspect, I can really lose it."
"Wait, you're NYC's youngest cop?" says Eric
"Yup. I can legally kick ass and I can't drive yet."
"Funny." says Robin, "Can we go in now? I'm starving."
"Sure." I laugh

"So, Robin," I start as I take a bite of my spaghetti, "What happened to your father?"
"He, um, was a crack addict. He O.D'd a week ago. ACS took me, and I told them that I had a mother that worked in the DA's office, and they let Eric bring me here. To meet my Mom. And, there's something else you and Dickie should know about me."
"What?"
"I'm pregnant."
"What?!" I exclaim, choking on my dinner
"Yea, don't tell my Mom. I'm getting an abortion tomorrow."
"How far along?" asks Dickie
"11 weeks. Please don't tell Casey." says Eric
"It's yours?" I ask
"Yeah." My Mom doesn't need to know either, right?" says Eric
"Ah, okay." I stammer
"Thanks, my Mom doesn't need to know that I knocked up a girl." he says
"Hey, it's 8. Lets pay and get a cab over to the dance."
