Olivia purposely stayed at work longer than usual doing paperwork so she could think how to approach Calvin with this. She hoped he accepted this better than he did accepting the date yesterday. She left work about seven and headed over to the Stabler's. Elliot had left about two hours earlier.

When she got to the house, she walked to the door and heard laughter from the inside. She smiled before knocking on the door. After a few seconds, she heard the door being unlocked and it was pulled open. "Hey, Olivia," Kathy greeted her with a grin. "Come on in." She stepped through the front door into the living room. "Calvin's in the kitchen with Elliot." Olivia followed Kathy into the kitchen and smiled at the sight that she saw.

Calvin was sitting at the rectangular shaped table with Dickie to his right and Elliot across from the two boys. But this isn't what had made her smile, rather the potato peelings that were all over the table, floor, and a few that had somehow managed to get into Calvin's hair. Elliot looked up at her, "Hey, Liv."

Calvin twisted around in his chair to look at her, "Hi, mom, can we stay for dinner?"

Olivia walked over and picked the potato peelings out of his hair, "Are we invited to stay for dinner?"

"Of course," Elliot told her.

"You're more than welcome to," Kathy agreed while taking a dish out of the oven. "All of the kids are out except Dickie."

"Well?" Calvin prompted, leaning his head backwards to look up at her.

"Sure, we can stay."

"Yes!" Calvin grinned excitedly.

"Can I help with anything?" Olivia asked looking over at Kathy.

"Nope, everything's about finished, but thank you. Elliot," She added, "You need to clean up that mess you made with the peelings."

Olivia raised an eyebrow in question at her partner.

"We were peeling the potatoes and one of mine flung across the table," He explained. "Needless to say, a competition followed suit."

"I won!" Calvin piped in cheerfully.

"Just because you couldn't almost chop off your fingers with that cast," Dickie told him.

"I would have won without it too," Calvin defended.

"Would not have."

"Would too."

"Not."

"Too."

"Not."

"Too."

"Boys, please, clean up your mess."

"Yes, mom," Dickie said hurriedly, starting to pick up the peelings. Calvin followed suit.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

After dinner, they were all sitting at the table, just talking.

"So, Liv," Elliot started. "Don't you have something to ask Calvin?"

Calvin, along with everyone else, looked up at her in interest.

She glared slightly at Elliot before turning to her adopted son, "Marcus wanted to know if you minded if he tagged along with us on our Friday movie night."

"Mr. Wright?" Calvin asked.

Olivia nodded in confirmation.

Calvin looked thoughtful for a minute, "Sure, I don't mind."

"Are you sure?" Olivia asked him, "He doesn't have to come if you don't want him to."

"No, I really don't mind."

Olivia smiled at him softly, "I'll be sure to let him know he has your approval."

"I never said he had my approval," Calvin said flatly.

Elliot and Kathy shared amused glances while Dickie tried to hold in a snort.

"But you just said…"

"I said I didn't mind him coming," Calvin corrected. "That doesn't mean he has my approval yet."

Olivia shook her head at Calvin, "Well alright, I'll tell him you don't mind him coming along then, okay?"

"Okay," Calvin said with a smile.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

The next day, Olivia had promised Calvin she would pick him up since she had stayed at work later. She got there extra earlier so she could go in and talk to Marcus. Getting out of her car, she walked towards and into the middle school. Her heart started beating slightly faster as she opened the school office door.

"Miss Benson," The secretary greeted kindly, remembering her name. "How can I help you? I don't recall Mister Wright saying anything about Calvin coming to his office."

"I'm actually here to see... I'm here to talk to Mister Wright," Olivia told her awkwardly.

"Oh, well please, go right in."

"Thank you." Olivia walked over to his office door before opening it quietly and peeking her head in. Marcus was staring at his computer screen when he noticed her staring there. Surprise flickered across his face briefly before his face broke into a charming smile, "Olivia."

She smiled at him before cracking the door and walking in further, "Hey."

"What're you doing here? Not that I'm not happy to see you," He added quickly. "I just wasn't expecting you."

"Well, I'm here picking up Calvin, so instead of calling you I thought I would just come tell you myself that Calvin said he wouldn't mind if you tagged along on Friday."

Marcus' eyes lit up, "Really?"

Olivia nodded, "If you still want to come, that is."

"I'd love to come."

"Great, well I better go back outside…" Olivia started heading towards the door.

Marcus stood up and grabbed his jacket, "I'll come with you."

She offered him a smile as he opened his door for her, "Okay."

They walked in comfortable silence out to her car that was parked across the pickup lane. Olivia turned and leaned against her car so she could watch for Calvin, Marcus followed her example.

Marcus broke the silence, "What time do you normally go to the theater?"

"Usually right after school," Olivia responded, glancing at him.

He nodded, "Alright. I can follow you over there, or I could pick you and Calvin up and then we could go over there."

"Let's meet there, that way you don't have to drop us off."

He looked down and smiled gently at her, "I don't mind dropping you and Calvin off, Olivia."

Olivia looked into his eyes, "I know. But Calvin… I don't want to make this too much for him."

"I understand. Alright, we'll meet at the theater."

Olivia, not being able to help herself, glanced down at his lips then back to his eyes. He leaned towards her slowly, and was about an inch away from her lips when the school bell went off, starling them both. Olivia cleared her throat and shot him an apologetic smile. He reached down and squeezed her hand softly.

Olivia looked back towards the crowd of kids coming out of the building and spotted Calvin walking over. He eyed his principal before crossing the pickup lane and coming to stand by Olivia.

"Hey," She told him warmly wrapping an arm around his shoulders. "How was school?"

"It was good," He told her with his eyes on Marcus.

Marcus grinned at Calvin, "Just because I'm the principal doesn't mean you have to act like you like school when you're around me. Besides, school is over."

Calvin looked back at Olivia, "School stunk," He told her truthfully. "It was boring."

Olivia and Marcus laughed and Calvin smiled.

"That's more like it," Marcus told Calvin, his green eyes bright after laughing. "I appreciate you letting me come along with you on Friday."

Calvin nodded, "No problem."

"Well I should get back," Marcus looked at Olivia, "I'll see you Friday."

She smiled at him, "See you then."

"See you tomorrow, Calvin."

"Bye." Calvin turned to Olivia after Marcus had left. "Can we go now?"

"Yep, get in the car," She responded, ruffling his hair before jogging over to the driver's side before he could swat her.
