A/N ok Welcome back everyone! First I would like to say sorry for the long update! I could not write anything that even closely resembled what I really wanted to say and accomplish between Kalinda and Alicia, which was really just them not really talking and just enjoying each other's company. I hope you enjoy this chapter and THANKS for all the wonderful reviews! Until next time!

The bar the two women sat in at barely before noon was the last place you would expect to find the First Lady of Illinois. It wasn't seedy but certainly was a far reach from the usual hotel and upscale bars of Downtown Chicago Alicia and Kalinda usually frequented.

The women had only been there for about 20 minutes but seemed to be well on their way to being trashed. Kalinda ordered another round from a rough looking bartender with hair down his back and tattoos up both arms. Alicia and Kalinda were far enough gone to have had a discussion about whether or not the bartender was a guy or a girl followed but giggles. Alicia couldn't help but remember a night 5 years ago when she and Kalinda had been drinking and a random stranger had hit on her and Kalinda and she couldn't help but laugh at the man. It was odd how history seemed to be repeating only under different circumstances. As she sat laughing with her friend she thought about how much her life had sucked without Kalinda in it, not having Kalinda had been almost as bad as not having Will. It was well after 4 in the afternoon when Kalinda excused herself and stumbled to the bathroom. When she reached the bathroom she dialed Will's cellphone trying her hardest not to giggle she announced to Will,

"you're up slugger, you gotta pitch this one all the way home." Kalinda barely got the sentence out before dissolving into a fit of giggles.

"And where can I find this particular ball park?"

Kalinda gave him the address to the bar and told him to take a cab so that he could drive her car home. She hung up the phone and returned to the booth to find Alicia launching peanuts at the opposite side of the booth with a spoon. Kalinda gave her a quizzical look which cause Alicia to giggle hysterically.

"I used to do stuff like this for the kids. During the first campaign when there were events we had to be there as a family for. I would invent games for them to play sitting at the tables. "God that was so long ago" Alicia stared off with a dreamy look on her face. She shook herself out of her silent revere and looked at Kalinda.

"did you ever imagine this is how your life would turn out K? I have it all, I am still technically the First Lady of Illinois, two great kids and a gorgeous house in Highland Park. And you know that with the exception of my kids I'd rather have none of it. I just want to be an amazing lawyer that wins cases. I want life to be far less interesting than it is."

As Alicia took another sip of her tequila, Kalinda noticed a familiar face enter the bar, and she raised her hand to get his attention extremely thankful for the distraction from the serious turn the conversation had just taken.

Will approached the two women trying to hide his grin, the two probably did not realize how disheveled they looked.

"I hear you two ordered a baseball player to bat clean up?"

At the familiar voice Alicia jumped and turned in her seat. For a reason only Alicia would know fueled by more alcohol than she had consumed since college, she started giggling yet again. Her giggles set of a mini chain reaction causing Kalinda to giggle along with her.

Will found himself lost

"You know laughing at a man is not the best way to boost his ego…"

It was Kalinda who answered him,

"if you came here for an ego boost you came to the wrong bar," Kalinda tried her hardest to keep a straight face but couldn't handle it and immediately began giggling again. Will surveyed the scene and determined for the health and safety of two of the most important women in his life he'd better get them home.

" Well since I'm not here for an ego bump how about instead I get to walk out of here with two stunning women?"

Alicia and Kalinda eyed each other and this time broke out in full blown laughter. Will walked to the bar and asked the bartender for the ladies tab and proceeded to pay it in full as well as leaving a generous tip. Then he walked back to the booth and asked Kalinda for her keys.

Neither woman was really able to keep themselves upright so Will stood between the two of them and acted as a leaning post for them. They headed to Kalinda's SUV and he put Alicia in the backseat and belted her in. Alicia giggled as he placed the seatbelt across her waist. Will returned to where he had left Kalinda leaning against the car and he walked her to the driver's side of the car and proceeded to strap her into the backseat just as he had Alicia, which had Kalinda slapping at him

"Stupid"

The two women giggled most of the ride to Kalinda's apartment. Will left Alicia in the car and walked K to her door. He assured her that he would get her car back to her and hurried back to the car. While he was gone Alicia had managed to put herself in the front seat. Will checked to assure her that seatbelt was fastened then turned the car on and puled into traffic. As they drove Alicia stared at Will until suddenly she reached over and clumsily began pulling his tie off and then ruffling his hair. She sat back in her seat grinning.

"What was that for?"

"you looked too serious, I like you better when you are a little messy!"

"I see. Well please then by all means."

"Nah it's good now." Alicia continued to stare at Will as they drove toward her house.

"quit staring at me you're making me nervous."

"Deal with it Gardner, I'm going to be doing it for the rest of your life."

The happy feeling that shot through Will at the sound of Alicia speaking of the future with him filled him and he grinned like an idiot.

"don't take me home Will, take me to your house. Let me spend the night with you. I want to be somewhere that Peter can't find me easily and maybe spend the evening to some 'extracurricular' activities, if you were interested" Alicia let her hand slide up Will's thigh making lazy circles with her fingers, Will placed his hand on top of hers and gently squeezed her fingers,

"You're making it hard for me to concentrate on driving, I've already had brush with death this year and I try to keep them to a minimum. So if you can wait we'll be at my apartment in about 10 minutes and then you can do whatever you want to me."

The rest of the ride passed in silence until they reached Will's apartment and pulled into a parking space. Will helped Alicia in the door and she immediately launched herself at him unsteadily as soon as he had her in the front door. While still kissing her Will backed her up to the couch and gently pushed her down onto the cushions. He broke contact for a moment to tell her to wait just a moment so that he could get her some water. She protested as he backed away and headed to the kitchen. When he returned moments later he found Alicia curled into the cushions and completely dead to the world. As gently as he could although he didn't think she'd have noticed either way Will carried Alicia to his bedroom and placed her on his bed. She had already kicked off her shoes when she had curled up on his couch so he removed her business suit and put one of his Georgetown shirts on her. He managed to accomplish this with no assistance from Alicia and only minimal protest displaying to Will just how out of it she was. It was still early in the evening so he decided to order them some food and to settle in and watch TV next to her. Just before he settled in he set out some tylenol and the water bottle he had grabbed earlier on the nightstand on her side of the bed. He hoped that she would feel better about the situation with Peter after this, because the possible hangover in the morning would be a high price to pay to not receive any relief.

A/N 2 The scene with Alicia ruffling Will's hair and loosening his tie was inspired by an amazing Tumblr follower who gave me the idea, and I promised her that I was going to use it. Once I figure out which one it was I'll gladly tag her until then know that there is untapped Willicia genius floating around Tumblr!
