The sun pierced through the grey sky as laughter and cries cut through the air. Sitting on a park bench near the playground sat Alex observing the children play with each other. Small faces with giant smiles and dirty hands playing with each other without a car in the world. The giggles and swoosh of a jump rope breaking the air reached her ears and made her smile. Lost in her own observation she never noticed the steps of the approaching stranger until the person spoke.

"Beautiful, aren't they?" She parked her stroller close and perched herself on the same bench.

Feeling someone next to her she turned to them. "Hmm?"

"The children," she pointed to them, "they are beautiful."

"Oh yea. I could sit here for hours and watch them."

The stranger nodded in agreement. "Which one is yours?"

Alex beamed and pointed to the little brown haired boy. "That one right there. He's 4."

"He's such a cutie. What color are his eyes? I can hardly tell."

Alex beamed once again. Her little boys eyes were striking. Digging into her purse she fished out her wallet that was filled with photos of the little boy. Handing one to the stranger she answered, "Blue."

The stranger was mesmerized by the intensity of the little boys eyes. Looking at his mother she could see the same stare and immediately knew where he got it from. "Wow. Oh forgot to introduce myself I'm Linda and over there are my terrible two." She pointed at a set of twins reeking havoc at the sand pit.

Alex laughed. "I'm Alex and my little boy is Hayden."

They sat watching their respective kids when Linda commented, "If your little boy looks like that I can't imagine what his father looks like."

The blonde cringed inside. She always hated the comment about the father. Playing with the ring on her left hand she replied, "I don't know what the father looks like but I think he looks like my wife."

The smile on Linda's face falters as Alex turned to look at her with a small smile. Her response always got the same reaction out of people who didn't know her personally. She really didn't care because they were just passing strangers she would probably never see in her life again.

"I'm sorry. I just assumed…"

Alex cut her off, "It's ok everyone does. Guess people cant imagine me being a lesbian." She chuckled lightly.

Linda chuckled nervously she didn't know what to think. "So umm…your wife…"

"Olivia."

"Ok. Olivia, what does she do? I don't want to assume but you are dressed pretty good." She knew she sounded like a fool but she was interested.

Alex saw curiosity in the woman's eyes and decided to indulge her. She had time Olivia wouldn't pass by to pick her up in a while. "Liv, is a detective for the NYPD."

"That's interesting how did you two meet?"

"That's actually quite an interesting story. We met briefly seven years ago…"

-------------------------------------

"…we can't do that! Elliot he has her!"

As she neared the squad room she heard arguing about a case. Alex never knew people could get so animated over sex crimes. The soft clicks of her heels and the chatter around didn't do anything to muffle the heated argument that was going on just beyond the class doors.

"…I know we don't have enough evidence, Elliot. I don't need this from you. Not now, please. You know that look he gave us, you felt it just as I did."

"I know I did but still…" A man's voice boomed over the females.

"People, people! Settle down!" Alex heard the familiar voice of the captain. "Listen, we cant be fighting like this our new ADA should be here in a couple of minutes."

Alex swallowed hard at the captains comments. She was never a nervous person but she was down right scared. SVU, what made her take this position. Not having to think hard she knew why. She wanted to be the District Attorney. Wanted to the big chair.

As if one cue she opened the glass door and stepped inside the squad room. The poignant smell of coffee hit her first and then a pair of brown eyes boring into her. Her breathe caught. The brown eyes were so intense. Alex finally let out the breathe she was holding when the brown eyes looked away.

------------------

"Just with one look?"

Alex nodded. "Liv, is like that. Her eyes are very expressive. It's one of most…god I don't know."

"What did she say to you when she first saw you?"

"Actually nothing was said. Like I said it was brief because…."

-------------------

"…that was 2-7 they got a lead on this case. Benson, Stabler go check it out."

Alex just stood there and watched as both detectives picked up there coats and walked out the door. Alex was still shocked over the heated brown eyes stare.

"Alex, good to see you. Sorry Benson and Stabler couldn't stay an chit chat they've been working on this case for 48 hours straight."

"It's ok, Don. Introduce me to you other detectives."

"This is Detective John Munch. Munch this our new ADA Alex Cabot."

She looked at the tall skinny man. His eyes covered with dark shades so his expression was unreadable. But something about the man made her like him instantly.

"This here is our new detective. Meet Detective Odafin Tutola. Fin this ADA Alex Cabot."

"Nice to meet you." He held out his hand. Taking the hand in hers she gave a courteous shake. She was impressed by the man already just like she was with Munch. She couldn't help but wonder about the other two detectives.
