I don't own Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

Olivia's legs were shaking as she they drove through Frankfort, Kentucky. Olivia, Elliot and Carson had just gotten off the plane and rented a car to take them to the hotel. It was a bright and sunny Saturday morning.

"Mommy?" Carson asked as she looked out the window. Since they didn't have the carseat the youngster was safely in the seat belt.

"Yes darling?"

Carson bit her bottom lip and she answered. "We don't have to go and see daddy right?"

Olivia turned and looked at her daughter and said. "We have to go to court remember. But that is the only time you will have to see him love. I promise"

Carson nodded with a small sigh and said. "We are staying in a hotel?"

"Yes" Olivia said.

"Can we go swimming mommy?" Carson asked as she looked at the hotel parking lot.

"Of course sweetie. After we get settled in the hotel room okay?" Olivia asked as she got out the car and got her daughter out of the backseat. She was immediately it with the Kentucky heat. She picked up her four year old and got Elliot's hand. They walked inside the hotel and took care of what they had too. Soon they were in their hotel room. It had two beds in it and was very nice.

"Mommy now can we go swimming?" Carson asked as she hoped of the bed and went over to her mother.

"Of course sweetie. Let's get our swimsuits out the suitcase and then we go okay?" Olivia smiled as she picked up her little girl.

"Detective Elliot? You go too?" Carson asked as she looked up at him with her green eyes wide with question and happiness.

"Of course. I'll change in the bathroom to give you ladies some privacy" he answered with a smile. He went over to his bag and got out his trunks. He went to the bathroom and shut the door behind him.

Olivia gently placed her little girl on the floor and went over and got their swimsuits out of the bag. She helped her daughter into her's. It was pink and yellow one piece with Dora and Boots on it. She put her daughters into a pony tail and then put on her own dark blue bikini. She wrapped a towel around her waist and then passed her daughter the Dora towel.

"WE'RE READY DETECTIVE ELLIOT" Carson cheered as she knocked on the door.

Elliot smiled and came out of the bathroom. He had a towel in his hand he smiled at the little girl as he picked her up and then his eyes widened when he saw Olivia. "You look...you both look very nice" he caught himself.

Olivia blushed while Carson giggled and replied. "You look very nice too Detective Elliot"

Elliot laughed and kissed the top of the girls head. He then went over to Olivia and wrapped his arm around her waist. "Ready to go?"

Olivia blushed even harder feeling Elliot's arm around her waist and said. "Why yes we are"

He smiled and then walked the ladies off to the pool. They opened the door and went inside of the indoor pool. There was another couple with twins, a boy and a girl, and then a elderly couple in the hot tub.

Olivia took her towel off and then turned to her daughter, who was already waiting at the edge of the pool.

Elliot was standing next to Olivia. He was watching his best friend and her daughter. He was really watching Olivia, that swimsuit she was wearing was driving him crazy. No one would have been able to tell that she had a child or that she was in her late 30's. He smiled when she looked at him.

She gave Elliot a wink and then jumped in the pool. She came up running her hands over her face to get the water off. She then smiled up at her daughter. "Okay beanie. You just jump right into mommy's arms okay?"

Carson nodded and got an look in her eyes, a look that Elliot has seen a lot in his best friend eyes that look of fearlessness, and she cried as she jumped into the air. "COWABUNGA" She called. She landed right in front of her mothers arms.

Olivia dunked her daughter with a smile and then brought her back up.

Carson was giggling madly as she wiped the water from her eyes. She smiled brightly at their mother and said. "Again!"

Olivia laughed and said. "Okay. Get ready and close your eyes"

Carson took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She felt her mother lift her into the air and then dunked her once again into the pool water.

Olivia laughed as she brought up her laughing child and she held her in her arms.

Elliot went over to both of them and said. "Can you swim Carson?"

"Yeah! Mommy taught me how" Carson said proudly. She looked at her mother with a silent plea of wanting to be let go.

Olivia nodded and walked over to a shallower end and then let her daughter go. Like all the times she did it in her pool she felt her heart beat quicken but slow once her daughter resurfaced and giggled as she doggy paddled in front of her. "Such a good little swimmer"

"I'm a fishy mommy. Little mermaid." She giggled as she paddled over to the edge of the shallow end. "Detective Elliot! Look I'm a mermaid! Come swim" she called to Elliot.

Elliot laughed and waddled over to Olivia, standing behind her. He gently wrapped his arms around her waist and whispered. "You look beautiful"

Olivia smiled and said. "Thank you very much"

Carson giggled as she floated on her back and said. "Detective Elliot come on!"

"Coming Carson" Elliot said as he unwrapped his arm from around her waist and went over to Carson. They spent hours playing in the pool until Carson started shivering and looking like a little adorable prune.

"Come Carson let's get out and wash up. Then we can get some food." Olivia said.

Carson pouted and said. "But mama. I wanna play some more" she swam circles around her mother.

Olivia said sternly. "Sweetie it's time to get out the pool"

"No" Carson challenged.

Elliot grabbed Carson and lifted her in the air. "Little Mermaid"

"Princess little mermaid to you" Carson teased.

"Okay Princess little mermaid. Your mommy said that we have to get out of the pool and your mommy is Queen little mermaid right?"

"No silly. She is Queen Mermaid and you are King Detective Elliot Merman" Carson clarified as she giggled.

"That means you have to listen to the queen" Elliot reasoned.

Carson considered this and she said. "Of course. Sorry Queen Mermaid"

"It's okay my little princess. Let's go and get some food"

"Can we get some pizza mo- I mean Queen Mermaid!" Carson said as Elliot lifted her out of the pool. She put her Dora towel around herself and watched as her mother and Elliot get out of the pool.

Olivia went over to her daughter and picked her up and kissed her wet cheek. "Yes we can get some pizza"

"Yay!" Carson cheered. She looked at Elliot and said. "King Detective Elliot Merman? Can you get me a piggy back ride?"

"Sure"

Olivia passed her daughter over to her best friend and smiled as she watched them interact. She was truly happy at the moment. Monday was a whole other story, she was going to have to deal with her worse nightmare. She looked sideways at Elliot and Carson and she smiled, if Elliot was there she knew everything would be fine.
