Chapter 2
The next morning Olivia pulled on her comfortable sweat pants. She always kept her badge, handcuffs and pepper spray with her- and tossed them in her pockets. She called Elliot after nine, not wanting to call too early, and he answered ready to go. He came by and picked her u. The twins, Elizabeth and Dickie were now seven but acted more like five. Olivia smiled as she climbed into the passenger seat.
"How you two doing?" she smiled turning back to face them.
"Hi Olivia!" Both the kids cheered. Dickie had always had a crush on Olivia, and leaned in between the two adults.
"I made this for you Olivia" he said as he gave her a card. She smiled as she looked at it. Inside it had pictures- which were actually very good- and a short poem.
"Did you write this?" she asked.
"Yep!" he told her.
"Thank you Dickie!" she smiled as she kissed him on the cheek. He raised his eye brows up and his eyes grew big. He let out a love sick laugh.
"No problem" he said smiling widely.
"Put your seat belt on lover boy" Elliot pushed Dickie back into the back seat. Olivia smiled at Elliot. What a smile.
They got to the park soon and gathered their things. Dickie followed Olivia around like a sick puppy, and she just kept smiling. Elliot got out two basketballs, just in case, and a towel, and some water. The four of them headed down a path, to get to the courts, as Dickie slid his hand into Olivia's. She looked down, for a minute she thought it was Elliot. She smiled to see Dickie smiling up at her. She held his hand back and smiled at Elliot- Elliot just rolled his eyes at his love-sick son. They got to the courts and Olivia was ready to go. She stretched a little, as the twins copied her. Elliot started shooting the basketball around as Olivia and the two kids stepped on to the court too.
"Why don't we make this interesting" she said catching the ball after Elliot missed the shot.
"How?" he asked smirking.
"Girls against boys" she grinned.
"Yeah" Lizzie echoed.
"And what does the winner get?" he asked as Olivia held the ball against her hip.
"Hmm… losers by winners dinner- any where they want to go" she smirked and Lizzie nodded.
"That sound fair Dickie?" Elliot asked his son.
"Your going to be sorry" Dickie smirked.
"That's my boy" Elliot rubbed his son's head.
"You two take out first" Elliot suggested.
"No. You" she passed the ball at him hard.
"Alright. If that's what you want. But your making a mistake" he reassured them.
"Oh yeah?" she challenged him as she started to bounce on her toes. She stood in front of Elliot as he held the ball. Dickie was down by the hoop, and Lizzie stood close by him. Both the kids were good at sports.
"You ready?" Elliot whispered as he faked a way he was going.
"Bring it on" she smirked as he started to dribble. He darted one way but she didn't fall for it. She kept in front of him and didn't let him by. He turned to try to shoot, and she stole the ball easily. She took it back, only playing half court, and dodged Elliot easily. She passed to Lizzie who was open when Dickie stole it. He passed it back to his dad, but Olivia interfered and passed it back to Lizzie. Lizzie went for the shot, missing the first time. Olivia got the rebound, knocking Elliot out of the way with her hip. He stumbled away and Lizzie made the second shot. Olivia gave Lizzie a big high five and passed the ball to Elliot.
"1 to 0, losers take out" she smirked.
