Chapter 46:

Friendly talk:

Casey could see that Alex hadn't eaten anything else other then hospital food for a while.

"Hey how about if I buy you lunch?I know this little place right at the corner of the hospital."

"I can't leave Liv alone."

"I saw Eliot on my way in, don't worry she's in good hands."Casey said rubbing her back trying to reassure her.

"Alright, I'm tired of that hospital food."

"Good."

"So Casey, I never got the chance to apologize for stealing your job."Alex said embarrassed.

"You didn't steal it, it had always been yours. I was just temporary reassigned to SVU until you could come of course I didn't know because i thought you were dead."Casey said ironically.

"Are you happy at homicide?"Alex asked.

"I guess, but I miss SVU a lot, I miss Liv and Eliot and even Munch."

"How would you feel about coming back?"Alex proposed.

"Well, our engagement isn't official yet and we wanted to announce it at our house warming party but as soon as we get married I won't be able to work there anymore."

"You talked to Jack yet?"

"Nope, I'm a coward and I wanted to wait for our big announcement to talk to him about I know he will agree that I have to leave SVU"

"I do agree, you don't want criminal lawyer to use your relationship with Liv against you in court ."

"Exactly, so I was thinking you could have your old job back, I mean it's yours I never should have taken it back."

"I have to think about it Alex, but thanks for offering."

"Wellm I want the best for my team and you are the best. Unlike Marlowe I know I can trust you on both professional and personal aspects."

"Yes Liv told me what happened with Marlowe. So you regret it, I mean coming back?"

"Not really, I needed to find my marks again and SVU was the best place: working with people I know, people I trust. But when Liv and I broke, my god it was hard to see her everyday. I remember just getting as close as I could just to smell her hair."

"You sound like a stalker."Casey joked.

"I know, I just love her so much. She's the only reason why I came back in the first place. I didn't care about the trial or risking my life.I was willing to risk it just to see her one last time ."

"I understand, what would you have done it Connor hadn't die?"

"I would have told her how I felt about her anyway. You know thatnight when we met and say goodbye, it was too fast I could see in her eyes that she loved me too, but it was too fast. So when Hammond and Cragen came and asked me to come back to testify I accepted because it was the only chance I might ever have to tell her how i felt and I decided to tell her the truth on that night in the safe house and then the phone rang and Liv told me he was dead."

"I see, it's pretty clear to me that you're meant for each other. When you too had broken up Liv and I had lunch several times and trust me she never lost faith in you . She always knew your therapy would be a success, she waited for you. Even when that hot cop came after her."

"I hate that Morales."

"I know I saw her once, she is hot, but she's not you and Liv have is real and it's for ever."

"I feel like your toast is going to be legendary."

"Well I am a lawyer right?Shouldn't be to hard."

So Alex and Casey had lunch together and without even noticing it became friend. At some point Alex excused herself to the bathroom so Casey called Eliot.

"El, I don't know If Liv told you, she's coming back home tonight, is everything ready?"

"Don't worry Casey, the big surprise is ready for them."Eliot responded white confident.

"Good I will see you there then."Casey replied feeling a bit better.

She had to admit that Eliot had a great Idea, moving their belongings into their new home .

Next chapter: Liv and Alex go home to their new house, and of course that's not the only surprised Eliot planned :)

PS: I also started to work on the Weddings Wows and it's going to be really special. I always wanted chapter 50 to be the wedding day. I will try to write it as I planned but at the same time I don't want to screw things up by jumping directly to it at the risk of missing important things.
