Just a short little Calvin/Olivia mother-son drabble.

It had been a week since Calvin had practically been ripped from Olivia's arms, and she'd buried herself in work everyday since. She'd been working double shifts everyday. At the end of her sixteen hour working days, she'd go home and instead of sleepling she'd cry into Calvin's pillow as she took in the smell of it because it still smelled like him.

Today was the day that Captain Cragen had finally had enough. He ordered Olivia to go home, and not to return to work for at least a week. He could tell from her eyes that she hadn't been sleeping, so he told her to go home and sleep.

Olivia didn't like being sent home, but she knew that she didn't have a choice and she was pretty tired. However, she didn't want to go home to the home she had once lived in with Calvin, because everything reminded her of him. His smell was on everything.

When Olivia arrived home to her apartment, she found a certain little boy asleep on her doorstep. For a while, she just stared at him. She rubbed her eyes and then pinched herself to make sure she wasn't dreaming. Once she realized that she wasn't, Olivia bent down and gently shook the little boy awake.

"Calvin." Olivia called in a bit of a whisper. She was trying to wake him, not scare him, "Calvin. Wake up, buddy."

Calvin rubbed his eyes sleepily and sat up. He smiled and then hugged Olivia tightly. He knew she would come home eventually. He just hadn't expected it to be so soon. He'd missed her so much.

Olivia hugged the boy back, "What are you doing here, Cal?"

"I missed you." Calvin replied

"I missed you too." Olivia told him, "But you didn't answer my question."

Calvin pulled away and looked down, "I didn't like it with my grandparents. I want to live with you again."

Olivia nodded, "Okay. Well let's go inside and we can talk some more."

Olivia opened the door and then she and Calvin headed inside the apartment. They were seated next to each other on the couch while Olivia tried to find out from Calvin why he left his grandparents' house.

"Please, Mom?" Calvin pleaded, "Just let me stay with you."

Olivia sighed softly, "Oh Calvin, I don't know. I really should call your grandparents. They're probably worried about you."

"I doubt it." Calvin blurted out

"What makes you say that?" Olivia wondered

Calvin took a breath, "It's not that I don't love them, but I don't know why my biological mom sent me to live with them. They are old as dirt. They can barely move. They can't take care of me anymore than my mom can. You're more of my mom than she is. I just want to stay with you."

Olivia gave a nod, "Okay. Well I don't have guardianship of you, but I'll see what I can do."

"Thanks Mom." Calvin replied as he smiled, "I love you."

"I love you too." Olivia admitted

I hope you enjoy. Comments are greatly appreciated.
