A/N: So first off I would like to send out a huge apology for the delay in updates to all my stories. I had some 'family issues' I had to deal with and then the holidays were upon me, and more family issues. I am so sorry for the delay; I am back and hopefully there shouldn't be any more delays. I do try to keep the updates to once a week or so depending on how fast I can get them out.
A/N: I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas (for those who celebrate the holiday) and I hope everyone had a SAFE New Year as well.
A/N: Let's see what 'date night' brings to our ladies, shall we? This Chapter is going to be a long one, hopefully to make up for the delay.
Olivia's POV
I finally am able to make my way back home, it's about 6am and I know Noah will be up soon. I quietly unlock, open and then close the door. I set my purse and keys down and go over to the top shelf on the book case and grab my lock box for my badge and gun. I never use to have to lock them up but since I got Noah I make sure they are high up and locked up, just in case. In my line of work I've seen what happens when kids can get their hands on guns and it's not a pretty site.
Everything is quite in the apartment so I know no one is up just yet. I make my way to Noah's room and notice his bed is empty. I hope he didn't have a nightmare and come looking for me. I go to my room and look in and notice it is also empty. I make my way further down the hall and notice that Callie's door is open. I take a quick glance in and the sight that meets my eyes has me almost in tears. Callie is lying on her back with one hand thrown over her midsection and the other hand I notice is wrapped around my little man. He is sound dead asleep at her side and lying on her shoulder. His little arm is wrapped around Callie's midsection as well; his teddy bear in between him and Callie. His mouth is slightly open and I can see where he is drooling all over her shirt. I take my phone from my pocket and quietly snap a quick photo.
"Mmmm Morning Olivia" Callie grumbles out and stretches out then I think she realizes there's a little body snuggled into her
"Morning, I hope I didn't wake you"
"No. My bladder did. How was your shift?" she gets up and makes her way to the bathroom, does her thing and comes back out and sits on the bed.
"It wasn't bad, long but good. How was your night? Did he have a nightmare?"
"Yeah, he did, he went looking for you I think and I had my bedroom door open just in case. I hope you don't mind"
"Not at all, thank you for comforting him last night"
"It was no problem, makes me miss my little one so much. I sometimes forget how important these little moments are. I have to see her and soon"
"Well, if you're up for it she can either come here or you can go to her. Take some time and go see your friends and Sofia at the same time"
"That actually sounds really good, except for one thing"
"Oh, what's that?"
"You will be here!"
"I will be yes and I will still be here when you get back, I am not kicking you out, stay as long as you need to or want to"
"No, that's not what I mean"
"Okay, so what did you mean then?"
"Olivia, I think it's pretty obvious that we both like each other correct?"
"Correct"
"And we want more than just a friendship to come out of this correct?"
"Correct again"
"Okay, so I guess what I'm trying to say is … Olivia I really like you, I want more from you than this friendship we have and I would love if you would come with me. We could spend the weekend in Seattle, I could show you around and you and Noah could both meet Sofia. I know you've already met her but I would like the opportunity to introduce you both properly"
"OH"
"I don't know if you're interested, but I could get us both separate rooms in the hotel. I need and want to see Sofia, I'm just not ready for her to move back here yet, plus I think she really loves it in Seattle; that's where all her friends are and Arizona and Jess. Plus I want to wait till I get 'back on my feet' before I take her back here"
"Okay, I have some vacation time saved up; we could make a weekend trip out of it or longer if need be. Plus I would like to meet some of these mysterious friends of yours you keep talking about."
"Really?" Callie asks a little excited.
"Yes"
"Mama, can we go? Please?" Noah has woken up and wrapped his little arms around my neck from behind and heard some of our conversation it seems and he seems excited to go so who am I to argue with the two of them?
"GREAT. I will go start breakfast; coffee and then I will book everything. Thank You Olivia. You will not regret this!"
"I'm sure I won't. Are you ready for breakfast little man?"
"Yup!"
"Okay then, let's go get you something to eat?" He wraps his arms tighter around my neck and I stand up with him on my back, take him to the kitchen and set him down in his booster chair and take a seat beside him.
"Hey baby, I heard you had bad dreams last night, are you feeling better?" I ask Noah
"Yes mama, Callie let me sleep in there with her and she sang to me till I fell back to sleep. She even let me cuddle with her"
"Wow, that was awful nice of her huh?"
"Yup, can we go to the park today mama?"
"Maybe a little bit later bud, mama just home from working all night. Maybe Steph will come over later and take you while mama has a little nap huh?"
"I can take him if you don't mind. It will also get me out of the house"
"Are you sure you don't mind Callie, I don't want to intrude on your plans for the day"
"I don't have many plans for the day. Oh I do have a few things to do but that's just for later tonight, I was wondering if tonight worked for you for our date. If Steph isn't busy, maybe she can babysit"
"Tonight sounds wonderful. Do I get any hints on where we're going or what we'll be doing?"
"Nope, just dress comfy in jeans and a sweatshirt"
"Okay, that's a little vague"
"That's the idea" and she winks at me
"Okay, well then I will wait till later for the 'surprise' then. Noah would you like to go to the park today with Callie?"
"Yes mama, I would like you to come too but I know you have to sleep"
"I will take a little nap and maybe join you both there, how's that sound?"
"YAY!" he cheers.
We get breakfast going with milk for Noah and coffee for Callie and me. We all sit down and eat together, and once we're done I start to take dishes to the kitchen but Callie stops me.
"I got it Liv, you go into the living room and spend a little time with Noah before we leave and then you can take a nap"
"Are you sure?"
"Yes"
I grab Noah and make my way into the living room to spend some much needed time with him while Callie cleans up the kitchen. We are on the floor just playing and talking about nothing really. Next thing I know Callie is standing beside us asking Noah if he's ready to go to the park, she has cleaned up, showered and dressed already. I guess time really flies when 'you're having fun'. I help Noah clean up the living room, take him into his room and get him dressed for his day out with Callie.
"Here, I know you said you had some errands to run, you can take my car" as I pass her the keys.
"Thanks" she leans over and softly kisses my lips and we hear Noah giggling.
"Sorry" she has pulled back and has her eyes locked onto mine.
"No need to be sorry, it was actually very nice" I wink at her.
"Okay buddy, are you ready? We will go do a couple of errands then head to the park and mama can meet us there when she gets up okay?"
"YAY" he shouts!
"I have my cell if you need us, and when you wake up, just text me and you can meet us at the park if we're still there"
"Sounds good" I bend over to Noah and give him a big hug and kiss.
"You be a good boy for Callie okay bud?"
"I will mama, I love you"
"I love you too buddy"
Callie's POV
After we say good bye to Olivia for the day, we get down to the car. I get Noah all buckled into his seat and get into the driver's side and start the car. I have a few errands to run today before we get to the park, hopefully Noah will be okay with this.
I drive over to a little restaurant I noticed one day out driving around and run in and make our reservations for this evening. Turns out I don't need to make a reservation and I get to talking to the owner of the place and she tells me she will make sure the best table in the place is reserved for tonight for me. We stand there talking for a while, I tell her it's our first date and I want to impress but I don't want fancy tonight. Olivia doesn't seem the type for fancy and elegant all the time. It isn't a fancy restaurant by any means; it's a local mom and pop place that has a variety of things on the menu. I have the money for fancy, but most of the time I just like good old comfort food. I seldom go the 'fancy' route. I know this is our first date and I probably should go fancy but for what else I have planned for tonight I think good ole comfort food is just what is in order. I finish talking with the owner, get everything setup and make my way back out the door. I get Noah all buckled into the car and we are off again. Onto the next step of the 'date planning'.
We finally get all the errands done and make it to the park. Once Noah is out of the car and we are safely on the grass I let him go. He makes a bee line for the playground with me hot on his heels. I decide now's a good time to call my little one. I look around there's only a couple of kids on the playground and a couple of women around. I don't see a lot of people or any men so I'm good. I take a seat on the bench closest to the playground and facing them. I can make my call and still keep my eye on him. I pull out my phone and make the call I have been looking forward to making all morning.
"Mama!"
"Hey baby girl, it is soooo good to hear your voice" I am almost in tears just hearing her voice.
"I miss you mama"
"Oh honey, mama misses you too so much"
"When will I see you again?"
"Soon baby, I promise" I look over and can still see Noah playing around with the other kids.
I sit and listen to her go on and on about her time with mommy and Jess and all her friends in Seattle. I know she misses that place so much. I keep my eyes on Noah and my mind on Sofia and I can't seem to stop her, her little rambling is enough to make my day. I miss that kid so much. I have to make a trip and SOON.
"Wow, you have been a busy little girl huh?"
"Yup, mommy and Jess take me everywhere. I've been to the hospital to see everyone there, we go to the mall, and we even went to the spa one day"
"Wow, and what did you think of that baby?"
"Oh mama, it was so much fun. It tickled a little when the lady was painting my toes but it was so much fun. You should've seen mommy, she looked so funny with a mask thingy on her face"
"Oh I bet she did. I hope you are taking lots of pictures to show me"
"We are, we take pictures where ever we go for you mama"
"Awesome!"
"Okay mama, Jess and I are going to the store but do you want to talk to mommy?"
"Yes baby please. I love you so much and miss you tons baby girl"
"I miss you too mama and I love you bunches"
"Hey Callie"
"Hey Arizona"
"How are you?"
"I'm getting better, thanks"
"Good to hear"
"So she's having fun by the sounds of it huh?"
"Oh you know our daughter, don't take much to entertain her. She does miss you like crazy though"
"Good, I miss her too"
"So, how are you really?"
"Actually I'm really good. I am slowly getting back on my feet and I even have a date tonight!"
"OH? Do tell! Is it with that HOT detective; Olivia?"
"YES! How did you know?"
"I just know you Callie, and she is HOT"
"Yes she is. I am going to take her to a mom and pop restaurant for some good ole comfort food and then I have a few things planned for afterwards"
"Oh care to share?"
I take a few minutes and fill Arizona in on my plans. I look over and see Noah still playing with the kids.
"Wow Callie, she's going to love that"
"I sure hope so"
"Well if she doesn't then she's an idiot!"
"HA! You really think she will?"
"Yes, any woman in their right minds would love a date like that"
"I hope you're right. I want her to know how much I like her and appreciate everything she has done for me"
"Oh I'm sure she knows now but if not, she will by the time the date is over"
"Thank you Arizona, for everything"
"You don't have to thank me Callie; you would do the same for me if the roles were reversed"
"In a heartbeat. OH I have something I want to talk to you about too"
"Okay, shoot"
"Well I miss Sofia like crazy, but I want to fully get back on my feet before she moves back here. But I was thinking of making a trip out there to see her, you, and everyone else. I was also planning on taking Olivia and Noah. What are your thoughts on that?"
"Really? Callie, that's awesome"
"You really think so?"
"Yes, Sofia misses you like crazy too and I would love to see you too. I miss my best friend. I would also like to meet Noah and Olivia under better circumstances"
"I agree. Okay we will plan it for next week end or so. Can you get some time off?"
"Yeah, I think Jess and I can take a few extra days off, it shouldn't be a problem"
"Thank you so much Arizona. It should be fun"
"It will be"
"Okay, I'm going to let you go, I have Noah at the park and Olivia should be getting up from her nap soon to meet us here. I will call you tomorrow and let you know how everything went"
"Oh yes, please do, I want ALL the juicy details!" she laughs out and I have to admit, I really miss her. I miss my best friend so much.
"I'll let you know, maybe not ALL the details but I'll let you know how it goes!" I laugh with her
"Okay Callie have a good day and good luck tonight"
"Thanks"
"Bye Callie"
"Bye" and I disconnect the call. I catch a glance at Noah running in my direction.
"Callie, will you push me on the swings?"
"Sure buddy, let's go!"
Olivia's POV
I awake and blink my eyes to the afternoon sun shining through the blinds I forgot to close. I look for my phone and check the time and notice I have been asleep for almost 4 hours. Wow I guess I was tired. I stretch my body out and feel everything 'pop' back into place. I get up, use the bathroom and make my way to the kitchen. I set the coffee pot earlier before I went to bed so I just have to turn it on and the fresh aroma of coffee hits my sinuses quickly. I grab my phone off the counter and notice a text from Callie from about 30 minutes ago saying they were still at the park. I told them I would meet them there so I make quick work of a shower, get dressed and grab a to-go cup of coffee for Callie and I both and walk around the block to the park.
I get to the park and look around and I notice that Callie is at the swings pushing Noah and he seems to be having a great time. I take a seat on a nearby bench and just watch them interact. Noah is the first one to notice me on the bench.
"Mama look, I fly really high!"
"I see that buddy, wow" Callie stops the swing and Noah jumps off running in my direction full speed ahead.
"Hi mama. I missed you!"
"I missed you too buddy, how was your day with Callie?" I set my coffee down and pick him up into my lap
"We had lots of fun, we went shopping, stopped at the ice cream shop and Callie even let me pick out my own ice cream flavor"
"She did? Wow that was awesome"
"Yup and the lady there told me I could put whatever I wanted on top. It was so good mama, then Callie took me here to the park and then even pushed me on the swings!" he rambles on and on about his day thus far.
"Hey Liv, how did you sleep?"
"Good, I must've been tired; I slept almost 4 hours"
"I'd say you were, you looked pretty exhausted this morning"
"Yeah"
"Oh, I called Steph before I came here and she said she'd have no problem babysitting tonight"
"Awesome!"
"Where are you going mama?"
"Well buddy, Callie asked me out to dinner tonight. Is that okay with you if I go out with her?"
"Yes mama, I really like Callie"
"Me to buddy, me too" and I look up and wink at Callie.
We stay at the park for a little bit longer with Noah playing on the swings, slide, and the monkey bars (with a little help from me). We have been at the park for a little over an hour now and we decide it's time to head home. We make our way to the car, and drive home. Once at home, we have a quick lunch and then Noah goes into his room to play. Callie and I are sitting on the couch watching TV when there's a knock at the door. I get up to answer it and it's Steph. Time seems to have flown by today; it's almost time to go get ready for this date Callie has planned for us.
Callie's POV
Once Steph stops by to grab Noah, she's taking him for the night to her place. He's been there before it seems and Steph has a little nephew she is watching as well so the boys are going to stay at her place for the night and have a sleepover. I am in the kitchen cleaning up a bit when she leaves with Noah. Then Olivia comes in and announces that she's going to get showered and ready. I take that as a hint to go to the same.
I make my way into my room and pick out my clothes for tonight. I grab a pair of black skinny jeans, a red top; walk over to the dresser and grab a matching set of bra and panties also in red. I also grab my black leather jacket and put it on the bed. I make my way into the shower and get cleaned up and shaved. I don't know where this night is going to lead but I want to be prepared; just in case.
I get out of the shower and put moisturizer on and then figure out what I am going to do with my hair and make-up. I think I will keep my hair down and straight for tonight. I apply a little make-up and then go about ready dressed. I slip into my under clothes and take a look at myself in the full length mirror on the bathroom door. Yup, I could stop some hearts in this but right now there's only one heart I want to stop. I move into the bedroom and slip into my top and jeans, pull my boots on and grab my jacket. I take one last look in the mirror and deem myself ready for this date.
I make my way out into the living room and as I am passing Olivia's door I knock softly. Waiting for a response I take a deep breath and let it out. 'You can do this Callie, even though it's been awhile since you've dated. You got this!' I tell myself. I stand here and give myself a little pep talk.
"I'm almost ready"
"Okay, I will be in the living room, take your time"
"Okay"
I move into the living room and take a seat on the couch and just wait. I know I can do this, she is an amazing woman. I can't stop thinking about her from the moment she walked into my hospital room. Her eyes are amazing and I could get lost in them. She is a very beautiful woman and I want to do this right and see where it can go. I have often dreamed about her; what it would be like to kiss her, hold her, have her writhing under me, what she would taste like and just everything about her. I see movement out of the corner of my eye and look up … and Jesus Christ this woman never seizes to amaze me!
"Callie!"
"Huh?" I look into her eyes dumb founded.
"I was calling your name a few times. Are you okay?" she walks closer to me and is standing in front of me.
"Oh! Y-Yes, sorry"
"Are you sure?"
"YES" I let out a little louder than intended.
She reaches over and grabs my chin with the tips of her finger tips and tilts my head up to look into her eyes.
"Honey, you're drooling, are you sure you're okay?" she winks at me
"Oh I am more than okay babe" the pet name slips out so easy.
I stand up and I am eye to eye with her. We stand there and just stare into one another's eyes for a minute. I can see her moving in closer to me. I lean in a little too and our lips meet in a soft kiss. I wrap my arms around her waist and hers move to around my neck as we kiss. The kiss slowly starts to get heated. I can feel her tongue running along my bottom lip, looking for access, which I quickly grant. Our tongues touch and it's like fireworks shooting off behind my eye lids.
"You know we could just stay here tonight and take this a little further" she says to me as she pulls back a little.
"Oh, I very much like that idea; however I have plans for us this evening first. I am going to take you on a date first, than we will see where this goes" as I move my hand in between us both.
"Okay, well let's go then and get this show on the road"
"Yes lets!"
"And you're sure you're okay right?"
"Well I am a little 'hot under the collar' now and with you dressed like that it may get a little hard to keep my hands to myself this evening but I will try" I tell her and send her a wink.
"Oh please, don't try too hard" she winks at me as she makes her way to the door"
She is dressed in very nice tight blue jeans that hug her in ALL the right places. She has on a white top that leaves VERY little to the imagination which also shows some cleavage and OH MY GOD it's a good thing I am not a guy because she most defiantly would've seen the effect that outfit has on me! I am sure from the drool she seen on my mouth that she already knows. Okay, let's get this date going and see where tonight might lead!
A/N: A little longer to make up for lack of updates. What do you think thus far? Next Chapter will be the rest of the evening!
