Elliot closed the door behind him and looked around the small apartment. He knew that Alex would be asleep for his nap now, which made it the perfect time to talk to Kathy. "Kathy?" He walked through the apartment and knocked gently on the bedroom door. "Kathy are you here?"
He opened the door and was shocked at what he saw. Kathy looked up at him with wide, startled eyes and Elliot couldnt help but laugh. Kathy was laying, naked and covered only by a sheet, with another man. He was african american, extremely muscular and had long dreaklocks. "Elliot I-I didnt kow you would be home."
He tried to sound serious but he couldnt stop his laughing, "Yeah, I needed to talk to you. And I guess you needed to talk to me too. I'll give you a few minutes to get dressed." He stifled a chuckle and closed the door. This was going to be alot easier than he thought, especially if she was already seeing someone else as well. He just needed to work out things with custody of his son, Kathy was an amazing mother and he didnt want her to think he was trying to take Alex away from her.
She emerged a few minutes later with her guest. The man held his hand out to Elliot and introduced himself. His name was Everett Jones and he had no idea Kathy was still playing house with him. Elliot assured him it was no big deal and watched as Kathy showed him to the door. When she turned back to him, she looked as if she really was upset about the whole thing.
"Kathy, dont even worry about it. I came to tell you that I'm moving out anyway."
She nodded and gave him a small smile. "It's Casey isnt it?"
He nodded, "And I see you found someone to be close to."
"Yes," She smiled, "Everett is a good man. And he met Alex today, they get along very well. What are we going to do about Alex?"
Elliot shrugged, "You know my work schedule. I was thinking he would live most of the time with you and I could spend my days off with him."
She nodded, "You have a place for him to sleep and everything set up for him?"
"No, Casey and I are setting up his room this weekend. She's really excited to have him around. So I guess everything works out."
Kathy nodded, "Yeah, I've known that we wouldnt last for a while now, so it was easier to just let you go." She took a step towards him and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek. "I love you Elliot. I hope for all the best for you and Casey."

"What do you mean your late?"
Casey rolled her eyes at Alex, she was propped up in her hospital bed looking at her with panic in her eyes. "Exactly what I said. I'm late. I'm going to get a test on my way home."
Alex sighed and shook her head. "You guys werent using protection, were you?"
Casey giggled and shook her head, "We dont exactly plan it out so that we have time to think about those things. It just..happens."
"Casey!" Alex smacked her gently, "Well then let this be a lesson to you! Jesus, you are going to end up with eight kids you keep that up."
"Elliot already has a son, so were on the way already," Casey said with a smile.
"Case, I was kidding, please tell me you arent seriously considering the idea. You have never wanted kids."
Casey looked at her with amused eyes, "And you never wanted to settle down and look at you. You've been with Liv since high school."
Alex shook her head, "That is totally different."
Casey smiled at her and shook her head in return. "No, it really isnt. You just dont want to admit that were changing and that love is making us want things that we didnt ever consider for our lives. I cant even tell you how much I hope that test is positive."

Casey looked at the small white stick as the purple symbol became clearer. It wasnt a simple plus or minus, it was going to be either one line or two. She watched it appear and tehn quickly looked to the box..."Positive!" She yelled as she ran out of the bathroom. Elliot was sitting in the living room watching tiv on the couch. She jumped into his lap and gave him a kiss before showing him the little stick that told her that she was expecting a mini stabler.
