Her parents hugged her, and Shanice tried to dislodge the bump in her throat
Her parents hugged her, and Shanice tried to dislodge the bump in her throat. "Baby, just please be careful." Mr. Valentine said as the driver closed the door.
"Honey call us as soon as you get in." Mrs. Valentine said squeezing her hand.
"Come on guys you're gonna make me cry." Shanice said as she kissed her mother's hand. "I love you" she said above the noise of the engine as Danny the driver pulled the limousine out of the parking lot.
"Ms. Valentine, would you like to listen some music?" Danny asked when he noticed how quiet the vibrant Shanice was being.
Shanice gave him a quick smile and he placed in a CD and Shut Up and Drive started to play and they both started laughing.

Olivia was sitting across Cragen who was looking furious as hell. "Benson, I don't like these men in over priced suit." He said as he tapped his fingers on his desk. "The Chief wants you to pair with new comer. Sorry there's nothing I can do about it" he said she asked.
"So what about Elliot?" she asked not liking the news one bit.
"He'll be transferred temporarily." Cragen replied pulling the file of the new comer.
"Liv, I don't like this any more than you do. Just teach the kid the ropes and we'll get back to work as usual.
"So when does this take effect?" she asked not wanting to apply more pressure than was needed to her boss.
"Tomorrow morning bright and earlier, I suggest you call it a day and prepare for the rookie." Cragen said a smile forming at the corners of his lips as he remembers having this same conversation with Elliot nine years ago.

Olivia was half asleep when the buzzer chimed. Pulling the covers back she answered the door knowing it would be no one else but her partner. "Good-night to you too" Elliot said as she opened the door and he strode in with a box of pizza and to cups of coffee.
"Sorry." She said closing the door and following him into the kitchen.
"Cragen told you?" he asked as he shared the pizza and placed them in her microwave to be heated.
"Yea, I got rookie duty." She replied running her hand through her hair.
"Well, I'll be at computer crimes, I swear they are going to get me glasses." He said with a smile.
"You glasses?" she snorted. Remembering how pissed he was when the schizophrenic had smashed his head in.
"What I look sexy in glasses." He laughed and the microwave beeped. Taking it carefully from the microwave he placed it on a tray and they walked to the living room.
"Hmmm" Olivia moaned as she bit into the cheesy crust of the pizza. Elliot couldn't help but laugh this woman never ceased to amaze him.
The pizza was done and so was the movie, they stretched lazily, groaning. Olivia placed a hand on her stomach and Elliot watched her and wondered what it would be like if she was pregnant?
"Liv don't you want kids?" he asked softly as he stretched out in her couch refusing to face his empty apartment.
Clearing her throat she forced a smile and let the question slide.

Shanice walked into 1- 6 precinct and was pleasantly surprised as the place buzzed with life and the people moved purposefully.
"Um… excuse me Sir," Shanice said to a dark haired man who stood well above six feet. Turning around the man greeted her with a smile and dazzling blue eyes. "Um…I'm trying to find Mr. Cragan"
"It's Captain Cragen," he corrected her politely. "It's that office to the far left." He smiled then shouted over his shoulder. "Liv, come on before Munch makes it to the coffee pot."
