It had been several months of notes being sent back and forth between the detectives and Liv. Zach and Mickey were still not getting along and they avoided each other as much as possible. The gang and Mickey were getting quite close and they cared about her and Liv very much.
"Hey guys" Mickey shouted when she walked into the bullpen. She reached into her pocket to retrieve the note and her mouth dropped when she realized it wasn't there.
"Damn I must have dropped it" She ran out into the hallway to look for the note.
The detectives were curious about her odd behavior. The next thing they new she was dragging a giant box into the room with Casey's help.
"There we go" She smiled.
"C'mon, open it. Liv went shopping the other day and bought you all presents." She stepped away from the box. It was about 8 feet tall and 4 feet wide.
Cragen came out of his office and asked what was going on.
"Presents" Elliot said.
"Open it then" Cragen walked up to the box and started ripping the cardboard apart.
John looked at Casey and Mickey who were now laughing their heads off.
Once the top of the box was ripped off Cragen looked inside and laughed. The other detectives started to approach the box when Liv jumped out and yelled surprise. By this point Casey and Mickey were crying from laughing so hard.
Fin was the first one to snap out of his daze. He ran up to Liv and engulfed her in a big bear hug.
"God damn you Liv I missed you so much. The Lakers are playing on Saturday. Wanna watch it with me?" Fin asked her with a smile.
"Hell yeah" Liv accepted and wiped a few tears away.
By then all of the guys were surrounded around her. Elliot was next to hug her and he gave her a quick kiss on the cheek.
"I'm so glad your back. Oh my god. Your never leaving my sight again you got that?" Elliot looked into her eyes and hugged her once more to make his point.
"Yeah, I get it."
John was just lost in his own world when Olivia snapped her fingers in front of his face.
"You going to hug me or not?" She asked with a smile.
"Anything for you." He let out a deep sigh and hugged her as tight as he could.
"You okay?" She asked while still in the embrace.
"I'm just so glad your back. I missed you."
"I missed you too John. I'm glad to be back."
Don then walked up to Liv and hugged her. He always thought of her as a daughter. "Good to have you back honey. I saved a place for you so your job is wide open if you want it."
"Of course I do" She said and looked around at all of her friends. Her family. Her eyes then settled on Zach.
"You're the new detective?" she asked furiously. She recognized him from the trial that Mickey had to go through and she knew all about him.
"You're the old detective?" Zach asked her back.
Olivia searched the room for Mickey and she was nowhere to be found.
"Where'd Mickey go?"
"The roof. She walked up there a couple minutes ago and I thought I'd let her have some time to herself." Casey answered.
"I'll go talk to her" Elliot offered and started walking up the stairs to the roof.
"Thanks El" She said appreciatively.
"Hey kiddo." Elliot said when he spotted Mickey looking over the railing.
Mickey looked up at Elliot and sighed long and hard.
"What's wrong?" He asked.
"Nothing"
"Don't lie, something's wrong. You can tell me" Elliot placed his hand on her shoulder.
"What's going to happen to me? Liv is going to move back here and I'll be left alone again. She wont want me to live with her when she starts working and she isn't going to have enough time or energy for me anymore" Mickey placed her head in her hands.
"Whoa. Rewind. I read those letters she sent and I don't know if you read them or not but she loves you to death. Mickey, you mean the world to her."
"I…I know. I'm scared"
"Well you don't have to worry. We all care about you too much for you to ever be left alone." Elliot started to lead her back off the roof when she stopped him.
"Thanks." Mickey gave him a quick high five and they both went back downstairs.
After work Liv, Mickey and everyone else went to the restaurant down the street. It was family friendly but also had a bar adjoined to it so you could order alcohol.
Everyone was sitting down eating 3 plates of nachos that they shared. Everyone except Mickey had a beer and she was drinking root beer. The mood around the table was fun and happy. Olivia looked up to see an older guy approaching the table. He looked to be in his late 30's. He walked behind Mickey whispered something in her ear.
"You son of a bitch" Mickey turned around jumped into the guy's arms and hugged him.
"Hey baby girl. I missed you." He whispered into her ear.
"God Jake I missed you too." She broke the hug and looked up at him and then back to the table of confused faces.
"Guys this is Jake. He is an extremely good friend of mine. That is Liv, beside Liv is Don and across from Don is Elliot, Fin and John. At the end here is Casey." Jake looked around the table and his eyes settled on Olivia. He waved and Olivia smiled at him.
"Hey Jake. You got plans tomorrow?" Mickey asked.
"I can take the day off. Why?"
"Well Liv and I are moving into our new apartment tomorrow and we might need a little help. You up for it?" Mickey smiled up at him and then Olivia.
"Sure. I guess if you need it. What time and where?"
"Liv?" Mickey looked over at her.
"9:00 and here's the new apartment complex that you can meet us at" She wrote the address down on a napkin and handed it to Jake.
"Well I gotta go. It's getting late. I'll see you all tomorrow then and it was nice meeting you. See ya kid" Jake waved to everyone and gave Mickey a kiss on the forehead. When he was gone everyone else decided to call it a night too.
"I gotta get home. Stephanie is waiting." Elliot had been going out with Stephanie for a while now and they just moved in together.
They all gave Liv and Mickey a hug and promised to come by sometime tomorrow if they didn't get called in for a case. When Mickey and Liv got back to their empty apartment they went straight to bed. Before Liv fell asleep she kept thinking about how sexy Jake was.
