Travis and Mike were gone for 6 months, hardly ever being able to hear from Casey or Olivia. They hated being there and both just wanted to go home to their Fiancé's. They were sitting around with other soldiers; with there shirts off cause it was way too hot.
"hey guys guess what I just heard?" The rookie asked as he ran up to all the soldiers.
"what? That Travis knocked up another cop?" Ben said with a smirk on his face.
"at least he can get a girl pregnant, how's that sperm count working, Ben?" Mike said teasingly. Ben smiled and gave him the middle finger. All the soldiers smiled.
"what did you hear?" Travis asked the rookie as he was cleaning his gun.
"that they only want a limited number of us here, so as recruits come in they will send us home." The rookie said as he grabbed the football and started passing it around.
"yea, now we only need recruits to come." Ben said as he grabbed the football and hit the rookie in the head.
"leave him alone" Mike said as he caught the football.
"sergeant is coming, get your asses up!" A soldier yelled as he peeked his head in their tent. Everyone jumped up and grabbed their uniform shirt and put it on, the other soldiers hiding the booze.
"alright ladies, I have a new one for you, this is McKinley, he just got out of the reserves, and please no more shaving cream in the rookie's bed, got it, Kingsley?" The sergeant yelled out as he looked at Ben.
"Sir, yes, sir" Ben said with a small smirk. The other guys trying not to smile.
"Since I'm sure most of you heard when a recruit comes in, someone can go home, and since you four have been here the longest, its up to you which one of you will go" The Sergeant said looking at Ben, Mike, Travis, and another soldier, They looked at each other and the sergeant walked out. All the guys took off their shirts again.
"well I'm not going, and he isn't going, so it up to you two" Ben said as he threw the football at the other soldier. Travis and Mike looked at each other.
Casey finished another hard prosecution. Olivia walked up to her.
"hey, you did good in there." Olivia said as she walked next to her.
"what do you mean good? I just got my ass handed, by that stupid defense lawyer." Casey said as she walked into her office, Olivia following her.
"it was a hard case, you did good for little evidence." Olivia said as she sat down.
"thanks, did you hear from the guys at all?" Casey said as she pulled out a file.
"nope, last time I talked to Travis was 3 months ago, when I told him about the baby. You?" Olivia asked.
"no, me neither, better we hear nothing then bad news." Casey said with a small smile. Olivia nodded.
"how's the baby doing, or should I say babies." Casey asked with a smile. Olivia was having twin boys. Olivia smiled.
"their good, Travis was so happy when I told him, I actually heard him yell out 'I'm having twins' to the guys around him, it was so cute." Olivia said smiling as she put her hands on her stomach.
"yea, when I talked to Mike a month later, he told me that Travis got drunk that night, how happy he was, and almost got in trouble by their sergeant." Casey said smiling.
"you want to go get something to eat? Cause I'm starving" Olivia said smiling as she stood up. Casey smiled and followed her.
It was 4 in the morning, Olivia heard a sound, it woke her up, she thought she was dreaming until she heard it again. She slowly put her hand under the other pillow, where she always kept her gun, another sound, this time louder, she gripped the gun tighter. She felt someone next to her, she pointed the gun in that direction. Travis got scared and fell off the edge of the bed.
"don't shot, its me." Travis yelled out still on the ground.
"Travis?" Olivia asked as she turned on the light next to her bed.
"Of course, you got more violent with twins in you, it must be the mood swings" Travis said smiling as he sat next to her and pulled the gun out of her hands.
"oh my god! What are you doing here?" She said smiling as she hugged him.
"I got to come home when a reserve came," He said as he gave her a kiss.
"for good?" She asked as she started crying.
"yea, I'm home for good, please don't cry baby, I know I'm annoying" He said laughing as he lay down next to her.
"your not annoying, you'll never be annoying, I'm so happy your home." She said giving him another hug.
"I'm glad that I'm home, especially with you" He said kissing her again.
"you look so different, you have a crew cut, you have more muscle I can tell, and you look so good in uniform" She said as she looked at him, lying in his brown camouflaged uniform.
"well thank you, you look very good yourself." He said smiling as he touched her stomach. She smiled.
"so twins?" He said smiling as he gave her a kiss.
"yea, I'm going tomorrow for another ultrasound if you want to come?" Olivia said her eyes tearing up.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world, I'm sorry I couldn't be with you for everything else." He whispered as he wrapped his arms around her, his palms resting on her stomach.
"its not your fault, I know you wanted to be here, I'm glad you're here now" She whispered smiling, putting her hands over his. He smiled and kissed her.
"did Mike also come home?" Olivia asked.
"no, it was between us two who was going to go, and he said that I should go cause of you." Travis said resting his head on her arm.
"how long you think he will be there? Cause Casey is worried about him." Olivia asked putting her hands on his face.
"depends, when the next reserve comes in, he will come home, sometimes it takes couple of weeks, sometimes months." Travis answered.
"so do they have you on the desk now?" Travis asked as he looked up at her.
"yea, I'm mostly doing research and phone calls, I get leave in 3 weeks and 3 weeks after I have the babies. When do you have to go back to work?" Olivia asked.
"I get a month off, paid for by the army, and Il notify work soon and tell them that I'm back." Travis said as he gave her another kiss and smiled.
"why you smiling?" She asked with a small smile.
"cause I've been waiting to kiss you for 6 months, and also how much I love you" He answered putting his forehead on hers and looked into her eyes. She smiled and wrapped her hands around him.
"I'm going to go take shower, why don't you get some sleep." Travis said as he got up and headed toward the bathroom.
"Travis" Olivia called after him.
"yea, honey" He said turning around.
"I love you too," she said smiling. He smiled and winked at her and went toward the bathroom. She smiled and got up. Putting the gun in the cabinet above her dresser. She went to bed and closed her eyes. She felt so safe when he was in the house.
Travis woke up at 9 and turned to the side and watched Olivia sleep for a couple of minutes. He got up only wearing his boxers. Around 10:30 Olivia woke up and thought she dreamed Travis coming home last night, until she heard the T.V. and turned around and saw his uniform on the floor. She smiled and got up and saw him making breakfast well watching T.V. from the kitchen.
"hey, sleepyhead" He said smiling as he saw her come out of the bedroom.
"good morning" She said as she walked over to him and gave him a kiss.
"how did you sleep?" He asked her, one eye on the T.V.
"I'm over here, Travis." She said smiling.
"sorry, how did you sleep?" He said as he grabbed the remote and turned off the T.V. and looked at her.
"never better. Is that a tattoo?" She said as she noticed a Tattoo vertical on his inner left bicep.
"yea, you like?" He said smiling, she smiled when she read what it said, I heart Olivia.
"aww, that's so sweet," She said giving him a kiss and hugging him.
"I'm glad you like it, cause I got it the night you told me we were having twins," Travis said smiling.
"that's cute, but it wont get you out of cleaning the mess you made in the bedroom" Olivia said smiling. Travis laughed.
"Il clean that up, I promise, here why don't you eat the breakfast I made you and Il go clean it up now." He said smiling as he put the plate on the table.
"you don't have to do it now, later is just fine." She said as she sat down.
"I know but if I don't do things when I'm told I probably wont do it, and I don't want you cleaning it, so enjoy your breakfast and Il be right back." Travis said as he gave her a kiss and headed toward the bedroom.
"don't just throw it in the closet." She yelled out to him, well she was eating her breakfast. She heard Travis laugh from the bedroom, she just smiled.
10 minuets later Travis came out.
"how's the breakfast?" He asked as he sat next to her.
"it's amazing, thank you." She said smiling.
"of course, when's the doctor appointment? " He said kissing her on the forehead.
"its at 11:30" Olivia mumbled with food in her mouth.
"well finish your breakfast Il wash the dishes when your done, I'm going to get dressed, you need anything else?" Travis asked as he stood up.
"no, I'm fine, thanks." She said smiling. He went into the bedroom. She was amazed how considerate he was toward her.
"alright my love, its eleven, go get dressed and Il clean everything up." Travis said 10 minutes later as he came out in jeans and a polo shirt on.
"you got it, babe, by the way that shirt looks awesome on you now that you have more muscle." Olivia said as she got up and gave him a kiss. He smiled and took the dishes from the table.
"Thank you," He said as he turned on the water, to wash her plate.
"you didn't eat anything?" Olivia yelled out from the bedroom.
"yea, I ate half of yours well I was cooking it." He said laughing as he wiped his hands and went into the bedroom.
"you multitask, huh?" Olivia said teasing him.
"yup, just for you, but that breakfast was good wasn't it?" Travis asked as he came behind her and kissed her on the neck.
"very good, you're going to have to make breakfast from now on" She said smiling.
"you give me kids, Il give you breakfast, good deal." He said smiling.
"you got it" She said turning around and giving him a hug. He kissed her and smiled. They spent every extra minute with each other for the next week. Olivia was at work and Travis decided to go see Casey on his way to have lunch with Olivia. Casey just finished arraignment for a suspect. Travis waited as she came out.
"hey Casey." He called after her as she came out.
"oh hey Travis, welcome back" Casey said as she walked over to him and give him a hug.
"thanks" He said.
"what's up?" She asked him as she they walked to her office.
"well I was cleaning my things and Mike put this in my bag before I left I didn't know about it until I got here." He said as he handed her a letter, on the envelope it read, give this to Casey.
"oh thanks, you came all the way here just to give me this?" She said smiling as she took the envelope.
"I was getting ready to go take liv to lunch when I saw that in my bag so just thought to give it to you on my way over to the precinct. Well I'm late already so I'm going to get going. You want to come along?" Travis offered.
"no, thanks though, I have some papers to finish, but thanks for giving this to me" She said smiling as she sat down and pulled out file's from her cabinet.
"no problem, see you later, whenever I get out of all the baby preparing mode were in." Travis said smiling as he got up and headed for the door.
"have fun with that, bye." Casey said smiling.
"oh I will, bye." Travis said smiling and walked out of her office. After he walked out Casey took the letter and opened it and started reading it.
Travis arrived at the precinct, he saw Olivia sitting at a table doing research on her computer.
"hey you ready for lunch." He said as he walked up to her.
"yea, your late you know that right?" She said still looking at the computer.
"yea, I know, I'm sorry, had to drop off a letter to Casey from Mike, he hid it in my bag." Travis said as the other detectives walked in.
"John, you're being paranoid again." Elliot said smiling as he looked at Munch.
"what else is new, his either paranoid or has some crazy theory going on." Fin said as he walked in next to the other guys.
"I'm being realistic, oh Travis is here." John said as he saw Travis standing next to Olivia's desk.
"hey guys. Were going to lunch if you guys want to come along, your welcome to. " Travis said as he shook hands with the guys.
"no, they cant they have to investigate this after I did my research." Olivia said as she took the papers she just printed.
"guess not" Travis said smiling.
"Il be right back, I'm going to go give this to the captain." Olivia said as she went toward Cragen's office. The guys watched as she walked away before they said anything.
"mood swings?" Elliot said smiling as he looked at Travis.
"oh yea, that's why my two popular words now are I'm sorry, after everything I do, I don't want to mess with her during this time." Travis said smiling.
"just wait until a week before she gives birth, very emotional, crying over everything." Elliot said smiling as he sat down.
"yea, thanks for the warning." Travis said as he took Olivia's jacket as he saw her coming.
"you talking about me again." She said as she walked over to them.
"no, John's theory." Travis said as held up her jacket for her.
"I'm pregnant not stupid. Thanks, see you guys later." Olivia said smiling as she put her jacket on and waved to the guys and walked out the door. Travis smiled, waved, and followed her.
"is it just me or do mood swings creep any one else." John said looking at the guys.
"shut up John, no wonder you're divorced." Fin said. John just shrugged.
A whole month passed by, Casey just came back from the hospital visiting Olivia, who gave birth to twin boys. She finally sat down in her room and started doing notes on her next case.
"did anyone call for a soldier?" She heard someone yell as her front door got opened. The voice almost sounded familiar. She got up and went over to her doorway.
"Mike!" She yelled out as she saw Mike standing by the kitchen. She ran over and jumped and wrapped her legs around him. His dropped his bag and wrapped his arms around her.
"I missed you too." He said smiling and kissing her well carrying her to the bedroom. He put her down on the bed and kissed her neck.
"you look so different, your hair is completely different, and you're so sexy in uniform, and what happened to your voice?" She said smiling as she gave him a hug.
"we had a party couple of days ago and my throat is sore, you look so sexy, I missed you" Mike said smiling as he sat on top of her, well she was unbuttoning his uniformed shirt.
"wow," she said staring at his body, he had ripped muscles and his abs where amazing. He smiled and kissed her as he pulled her shirt off.
"you got a tattoo?" she asked as she touched his shoulder.
"yea, Travis got drunk and got one and made me get one." Mike said smiling. Casey read the tattoo, I love Casey.
"that is so sexy." She said as she kissed him, they both fell back on the bed.
Mike woke up around 10 his arm around Casey, he was so happy he was finally home, he laid still and just watched her sleep. She felt someone starring at her, she opened her eyes and saw Mike looking at her. She turned around and kissed him.
"hey, you see something you like?" she whispered smiling.
"hi, yea I do." He whispered and started kissing her neck.
"why doesn't that surprise me" she said smiling.
"did I tell you, liv, gave birth to twin boys a couple of days ago." She said smiling as he started kissing her chest.
"I'm up here, Mike." Casey said smiling.
"sorry, I'm just overwhelmed by your beauty." He said smiling as he gave her a kiss on the cheek and lay down next to her.
"good line, how come you didn't call me and tell me you were coming?" She asked smiling as she rested her head on his chest.
"and miss this expression" Mike said smiling as he did a cheesy surprised smile.
"shut up" she said laughing. He started laughing and hugged her.
"so twin boys" Mike said as he got up.
"yea, their birthday is on October 2nd, names are Jason and Josh Smith, liv wanted them to have Travis's last name, she is still in the hospital since it was 2 days ago." She said smiling as she watched him get his jeans from the closet.
"I have to go see them, and I have tell my sisters I'm back before they find out from someone else and I have to call work and tell them I'm back, I have a busy day today, so stop lounging around and get up" He said smiling as he pulled on a shirt.
"Il go with you to visit liv and Travis now but I have to be at work by 1" She said as she grabbed her jeans and pulled them on.
"alright, Il go make breakfast well you get ready." Mike said as he gave her a kiss and walked out of the bedroom. She smiled.
Travis was sitting by his sons and watching Olivia sleeping, when he heard a soft knock on the door. He turned around and saw Casey appear at the door and motion for him to come outside. He got up and came outside closing the door slowly. He saw Mike standing there.
"dude, what are you doing here?" He said in a loud voice as he hugged Mike.
"that's why we wanted you outside so you wouldn't wake up your family, daddy" Mike said teasing him as he hugged him.
"when did you come back?" Travis asked smiling.
"last night, congrats on the twins" Mike said as he patted him on the shoulder.
"thanks, you want to come inside and see them? " Travis asked.
"of course." He said as he followed Travis inside the room, Casey right behind them.
"Hey, Mike" Olivia whispered as she opened her eyes.
"hey, congratulations, did we wake you up?" Mike whispered as he hugged Olivia.
"no, Travis woke me up with his loud voice." Olivia whispered smiling.
"I'm sorry, baby" Travis whispered as he picked up Jason.
"its ok, when did you come back?" Olivia whispered smiling as she looked at Travis and then at Mike.
"last night, how you feeling?" Mike whispered looking at Olivia.
"good, thanks" Olivia said smiling as Travis handed Jason to her. He went to pick up Josh.
"so who's who?" Mike asked as he looked at the twins.
"well this is Josh and that is Jason." Travis answered.
"can I hold one of them?" Mike asked.
"of course" Olivia answered as she handed Jason to him.
"They have blue eyes like you," Mike said smiling and looking at Travis.
"here Casey you want to hold Josh?" Travis asked as he walked over to Casey.
"yea, of course." She said smiling as she took Josh.
"their so cute" Mike said smiling as he looked at Jason and Josh. Casey smiled and looked at Mike, thinking how great of a father he will make one day. They heard a soft knock on the door. Travis went to open it and before someone came in, he went outside and closed the door. Everyone looked at him with a confusing look.
"Travis, let us in" they heard Sarah say in a loud voice. Casey looked at Mike, who just rolled his eyes.
"here hold him, before my sister wakes them up" Mike said as he handed Jason to Olivia. Then walked outside and closed the door.
"Mike!" Sarah yelled out and hugged him.
"keep quiet your going to wake them up" Travis whispered. Then heard both of his sons start crying.
"nice going" Travis said and then walked into the room.
"when did you come back? Why didn't you call us?" Jennifer asked as all of Mike's sisters hugged him.
"I came back last night and was going to come by later today." Mike said as he picked up Alex. Casey came out of the room.
"Hi, aunt Casey" Alex said as he hugged Casey. Casey took him.
"aunt Casey? since when?" Mike asked with a small smile.
"Sarah got him into the habit to call me aunt." Casey said as Alex reached for Mike. Mike held him.
"he fell in love with her, so just thought it's appropriate since you're Uncle Mike," Sarah said.
"Uncle Mike, can we go play basketball now that you're back from work?" Alex said not being able to pronounce any of the r's.
"not now, later, why don't me and you go get something for you to drink well your aunt's and your mom go say hi to uncle Travis, ok?" Mike said as he put Alex down and kneeled to his eye level.
"can aunt Casey come with us?" Alex asked.
"ask her" Mike told him and smiled.
"aunt Casey do you want to come with us?" Alex asked looking up at Casey. She smiled.
"I would love to" Casey said.
"alright, since you guys have it under control, were going to go see Travis and Olivia, Casey don't let them get in trouble. Alex be good, ok? " Sarah said looking at Alex. He nodded. Sarah gave Mike a look as she saw him whispering something in Alex's ear.
"Mike loves Casey" He yelled out and started giggling. Mike smiled and gave Alex a hi-five. All the girls smiled.
"do I get my dollar now?" Alex said looking at Mike.
"Il buy you juice does that count?" Mike asked looking at Alex.
"no, I want a dollar, you said a dollar, Uncle Mike." Alex said as he wrapped his small hands around Mike's neck. Mike picked him up.
"I did? Alright were going to go negotiate about that, c'mon aunt Casey." Mike said as he put his other hand around Casey and walked down the hall. The girls went into the room smiling.
"uncle Mike, is there a baby in that room?" Alex asked looking up at Mike well he sipped his juice, he walked in front of Mike and Casey.
"yes there is, there's two " Mike answered, his arm around Casey.
"where do babies come from?" Alex asked looking up at Casey. Casey looked at Mike.
"ask your mom or dad when you get home. Don't spill juice on your shirt" Mike said as he watched Alex playing with his juice carton.
"my friend says its from kissing, cause kissing is gross, this girl tried to kiss me on the playground and I pushed her." Alex said.
"you don't push girls, Alex, you know that" Mike said.
"I know daddy told me, but she tried to kiss me, and I don't want her to kiss me, cause I don't want babies, do you like kissing girls Uncle Mike?" Alex asked looking up at Mike. Casey smiled.
"drink that juice, before it gets too warm. When we go see the babies you cant be loud or talk to much, ok?" Mike said. Alex nodded and sipped his drink.
"nice save" Casey whispered to Mike. He smiled.
They went into the room, everyone was standing by Olivia, well the twins were sleeping.
"hi uncle Travis" Alex said in a loud voice. Mike kneeled down next to him.
"what did we say about being loud?" Mike whispered.
"sorry" Alex whispered and walked over to Travis and hugged his leg. Travis picked him up.
"hi Alex, this is Aunt Olivia, say hi" Travis whispered. Alex started giggling.
"that's a funny name," Alex said smiling.
"Alex is a funny name." Emily said teasing him.
"no its not, you said that for Alexander, you cant have it both ways, she's so silly, don't mind her, are you feeling fine cause your in the hospital" Alex said smiling and looking at Olivia. Everyone smiled.
"I'm fine, thank you Alex. He talks a lot doesn't he?" Olivia said smiling and looking at Sarah.
"well considering that his related to Mike, yes he does." Sarah said smiling. Mike smiled and rolled his eyes.
"Uncle Travis, did you get a baby by kissing Oli.. I can't say your name I'm sorry. But did you get the baby by kissing her?" Alex asked. Travis looked at Sarah and then at Mike. Olivia smiled.
"Alex you want to see the babies?" Mike asked as he took Alex from Travis.
"Thanks, dude" Travis said under his breath. Mike smiled and carried Alex to where the twin's were sleeping.
"well were going to let him see the twins and then we have to get going" Sarah said as she watched Mike show the twins to Alex.
"I have a question" Alex said looking at Travis.
"what else is new, what's your question?" Travis asked him as Mike brought him over.
"not for you, you goof, for your friend" Alex said looking at Travis and then at Olivia. Travis smiled.
"what's your question?" Olivia asked smiling.
"if I can't say your name, what do I call you?" Alex asked.
"you can call me liv," Olivia said.
"isn't that a word?" Alex asked.
"its for short, like Alexander is Alex, Michael is Mike," Jennifer said.
"oh, ok, because if it wasn't uncle Mike, then it would be Uncle Michael." Alex said and started giggling. Everyone started laughing. Mike smiled.
"I'm glad my name can amuse everyone." Mike said smiling. Casey hugged him.
"don't kiss her, Uncle Mike, your going to get a baby" Alex said as he stopped laughing. Everyone smiled.
"ok, I think its time for us to go. Congrats again, will see you guys later" Sarah said as she took Alex.
"bye liv, mommy that's funny" Alex said looking at Sarah.
"Alex is funny, especially Alexander, isn't it Jen?" Emily said teasing Alex.
"very funny" Jennifer said smiling. Alex gave both of them a mean look as they walked out of the room.
"his cute, I got my name made fun of by a 5 year old." Olivia said smiling.
"don't worry, he'll get Olivia after he plays around with it, he did it for Casey for about a week. He connected it with the word case and then he figured out I worked on case's for my work and he just kept laughing, and saying over and over again. It was quiet interesting." Mike said smiling. Everyone smiled.
"his very bright for a 5 year old, it scares me." Travis said as he walked over to where the twins were.
"same here, man, were going to go, she has to go to work and I have to call my captain and tell him that I'm back." Mike said as he put his arm around Casey.
"ok, see ya later, thanks for coming" Olivia said.
"no problem, you guys need anything call me, ok?" Mike said.
"you got it" Travis said as he picked up Josh and gave him to Olivia as Mike and Casey walked out of the room
"your very good with Alex" Casey said as they walked into their apartment.
"thanks, I like to hang out with him unless he starts asking question's that I really don't want to answer." Mike said smiling as he put down his keys and phone.
"yea, but your very good at changing the subject" Casey said smiling as she went to sit at the table and finish the paper work, she couldn't do last night.
"I'm going to get changed and go see my captain at work" Mike said as he went into his bedroom.
"ok" Casey yelled out still looking at her paper work. Mike's phone rang.
"Mike, your phone" Casey yelled out.
"get it for me, please" Mike yelled from the room.
"sure" Casey answered as she got up.
"hello, oh hi, yea his right here" Casey answered the phone.
"Mike, it's Sarah, she sounds upset." Casey called into the room. Mike came out well pulling on his pants and tripped.
"your such a dork" Casey said laughing.
"I know. " He said getting up and smiling as he took the phone and put his other hand on Casey's back.
"what's up? What happened? Is he ok? Ok, yea bring him over," Mike said his smiling fading
"is everything ok?" Casey asked as Mike hung up the phone.
"Jerry was doing a hostage situation and he got shot, the bullet went through his vest, so Sarah is going to the hospital, and wanted to know if I can watch Alex, since Jen is planning her wedding and Emily left for New Jersey for school. So she's going to bring him over." Mike said as he went into the bedroom taking off his pants.
"is Jerry going to be ok?" Casey asked following him.
"yea, it didn't go in as it normally would, the vest stopped the force, so he didn't bleed that much," Mike said putting on his jeans.
Twenty minutes later Sarah knocked on their door. Casey opened it.
"hey Alex" Casey said as Alex and Sarah came in.
"hi" Alex said in low voice and walked past Casey, holding his teddy bear.
"hey buddy" Mike said. Alex said nothing and walked past him.
"Is he ok?" Mike whispered to Sarah as they all watched him sit on the couch and play with his teddy bear.
"His been like that since I told him he I had to visit dad in the hospital." Sarah said watching him.
"uncle Mike?" Alex said turning around.
"yea. Alex" Mike said turning around. Alex motioned for him to come over. Mike went over and sat on the coffee table to face him.
"is my daddy going to die?" Alex asked his eyes started to tear up.
"no, of course not, buddy" Mike said as he took Alex and put him in his lap.
"but when grandpa went to the hospital he died, and I never got to see him again." Alex said as he started crying and hugging Mike. Mike looked up at Sarah and Casey, they just starred at him.
"That was different, Alex, see your dad just got hurt and mom is just going to go see him. You understand?" Mike said as he picked up Alex to hug him. Alex said nothing. Mike took him and placed him on the couch and kneeled by him.
"you remember that time when we went to the park and I was trying to teach you to ride a bike?" Mike asked him, Alex nodded, " and you fell off and hurt your knee and I called mom to make you feel better" Alex nodded, "well this is the same, dad got hurt and mom is going to go see him to make him feel better." Mike said as he looked up at Sarah and Casey they were watching him and smiling.
"so mommy is going to put a bandage on daddy?" Alex asked as he wiped his eyes.
"yea," Mike said smiling and wiping Alex's tear
"why cant I go see him? Doesn't he want to see me when his hurt?" Alex asked looking at Mike.
"of course he wants to see you, you're the first person he wants to see, but if you go see him then who am I going to play basketball with?" Mike said smiling. Alex looked up and smiled.
"yea, there's that smile, now go get the basketball from my closet and we can go." Mike said as Alex ran over to the closet.
"that was really nice of you" Casey said hugging Mike.
"thanks or I would have to explain it him." Sarah said smiling.
"no problem" Mike said putting his arm around Casey.
"were going to play basketball, mommy." Alex came running carrying the basketball.
"yea, I know, try not to beat uncle Mike too bad, ok?" Sarah said smiling.
"Il try, you want to come aunt Casey? Uncle Mike needs all the help he can get" Alex asked as he looked up at Casey. Mike smiled.
"I'm sure he does, but I have to go to work, I'm sorry" Casey said smiling.
"uncle Mike, aunt Casey has to work on a case" Alex said as he started giggling. Mike picked him up.
"alright kid, kiss your mom and we should go so you can beat me" Mike said smiling, as he let Alex lean in to kiss Sarah.
"Il see you later" Mike said as he kissed Casey on the cheek.
"take care of him." Sarah yelled out as they headed toward the door.
"I will" Alex yelled out.
"what are you taking about?" Mike said as he started tickling Alex on the stomach and walked out the door. Alex started giggling. Casey and Sarah laughed as they watched them.
"I'm going to go check on Jerry, Il come by after to pick up Alex" Sarah said grabbing her purse.
"ok, no problem, say hi to him" Casey said as Sarah went toward the door.
"I will, bye" Sarah said as she walked out.
"bye." Casey said as she closed the door. She was so amazed the way Mike was with Alex.
Casey got home around 7. She saw that the T.V. was on and Teletubbies were playing. She smiled as she saw the show, figuring Alex left it. She came to the couch and saw Mike sleeping and Alex sleeping on Mike's chest. She heard a knock on the door and went to open it. Sarah came in.
"hey, they fell asleep on the couch" Casey whispered as she walked over to the couch, Sarah following her.
"that's so cute." Sarah whispered as she looked at them.
"well I'm going to take him so I can go to sleep" Sarah whispered smiling as she picked up Alex. He didn't wake up, he just rested his head on her shoulder and kept on sleeping.
Mike woke up as he felt Alex move.
"bye Mike, thanks for watching him" Sarah whispered as she saw Mike wake up.
"no problem" Mike whispered still lying on the couch.
"goodnight guys" Sarah said as they went outside.
"goodnight" Casey said closing the door. She went over to Mike and laid down next him. He wrapped his arms around her.
"how was work?" He asked his eyes still closed.
"good, how was your day?" She asked as she put her hands over his.
"fun, I wanted to spend it with you though" He said kissing her on the cheek. She smiled.
"I know same here, I missed you, but it seems like you had fun with the teletubbies." She said laughing. He started laughing and grabbed the remote and turned it off. He playfully grabbed her by her shirt and pulled her to kiss him. They made out for about 10 minutes. He put his hand under her shirt. She stopped kissing him.
"I'm kind of tired, and I have to wake up early tomorrow, sorry" She said as she pulled his hand out of her shirt.
"you got to be kidding me" He said still close to her face.
"I'm sorry honey, I'm just really tired." She said as she gave him a kiss on the cheek.
"just a little" He said kissing her neck.
"no, cause with you a little is always the whole thing." Casey said as she gently pushed him off.
"fine, were not even married yet and already your cutting me off" He said smiling as he lay down.
"about the wedding, I made some decisions cause you told me in the letter, but I was busy with work so I got something's done, but not a lot" She said as she got up.
"where are you going?" Mike said as he put his hand out towards her.
"come here so you can see the choices I made" Casey said as she pulled out a paper.
"I cant, I'm too tired, sorry honey" Mike said mockingly.
"shut up and come here" She said smiling.
"fine, but that talk wont work when were married." Mike said smiling as walked up behind her.
"sure it will" She said smiling as she kissed him on the neck.
"damn, I'm respecting you're right not to have sex but don't tease me like that" Mike said smiling. She started laughing.
"you're right, I'm sorry," She said smiling as he wrapped his hands around her.
"I love you" He whispered into her ear.
"I love you too" She whispered in his ear softly.
"don't whisper it like that, it gets me in the mood, I think I should go to bed cause when I look at you it gets me in the mood." He said smiling.
"ok, Il try and be unattractive for tonight, just for you" She said laughing.
"you can try but you wont be successful" He said smiling as he gave her a kiss.
"you have to stop flirting, if your not going to be in the mood." She said laughing.
"that's my problem, I know, I flirt too much with my fiancé, it's a crazy sickness, now I cant talk about the wedding cause Il think about the honeymoon" He said laughing
"you're such a guy, you know that?" She said laughing.
"no, I'm kidding I can control myself, maybe not around you, oh wait the flirting thing, scratch the last thing I said, go, talk about the wedding." He said smiling as he sat on the chair. Casey started laughing.
"will looking at my body get you in the mood?" Mike asked suspiciously giving her a suspicious.
"probably not" She answered smiling.
"you said probably not, so it could still happen, that's it" He said as he took off his shirt, and playfully threw it at her.
"what are you doing?" she said laughing as she put his shirt on the chair.
"what? I'm listening, go ahead about the wedding, if my body distracts you that's your problem, I'm listening." Mike said smiling as he put his hands on his chin and looked intensely at her. Casey started laughing.
They went to bed around 10. Mike closed his eyes.
"I'm scared" Alex said as she hugged Mike. They were in the hospital waiting for the US Marshals to come.
"I know me too, but it's for the best, this way you'll be safe and that's all that matters" Mike said holding Alex close, her blonde hair in his face, sticking to the tear that fell down his face.
"I never saw you cry." Alex said as she wiped the tear away from his face. He smiled and wiped her tear away.
"I want you to do one thing for me, Alex" Mike said holding her close.
"of course anything." Alex answered
"I want you to meet a good a guy and have a family..." He said, the words he thought he would never say to her, but he knew he couldn't be selfish at that moment.
"I'm never going to, I love you" Alex said interrupting him.
"I love you too, I will always love you, but I want you to have a family and be happy, cause that's all that matters, as long as you're happy and safe." Mike said holding her close, not being able to control his tears. How he wanted to be selfish at that moment, and not let her go, but he knew he had to. He had to let her go cause he loved her. She nodded.
"same goes for you, ok?" Alex said as she held the first man she loved, knowing she would have to let him go and probably never see him again. He nodded.
"excuse me sir, there here to take Ms. Cabot" a man with a US Marshall's badge said as he came into the room.
Alex and Mike looked at each other and gave each other a kiss, their last kiss.
Mike jumped up, sweat pouring down his face, breathing hard. Casey turnedaround and saw him.
"you ok, honey?" She said as she turned on the light next to her bed.
"yea, I'm fine, just a bad dream" Mike said as he lay down. Casey turned off the light and hugged him. Mike starred at her engagement ring. He knew he had to see Alex again before he got married.
