A/N: Chapter two of the day! Tomorrow's chapter is the laaaast one. I realized while writing this chapter, that I had completely left out Elliot Junior…I was going to add him in during this chapter, but then decided that's pointless. So he doesn't exist in this story, haha. Everything goes to its rightful owners, enjoy!

Updated: Forgot to add, Go check out Piper Chris Melinda Halliwell's story, Absent Love that I beta if you haven't already have. I'm not going to spoil anything, but it's about to get REALLY good ;-)

Calvin stood there in shock, his mouth hanging wide open. He looked back at Olivia who started laughing at his expression. "You knew about this?" He demanded, a wide grin spreading across his face as he glanced at all the people around the room, Elliot, Dickie, Lizzie, Casey Novak, Fin, Munch, Michael, and Marcus.

"I planned it," Olivia told her son with a grin.

Calvin turned to wrap his arms tightly around her waist, "You're the greatest mom ever."

A soft smile touched her face and she ruffled his hair affectionately. "Go enjoy your party."

He grinned at her before walking over to his guests. "Happy birthday, Calvin," was echoed several times. Each time Calvin's smile grew bigger. "Thanks for coming," He responded sincerely.

"Hey, kid. We gotta go," Fin said to Calvin, gesturing to Munch, Casey, and himself. "We, uh, technically didn't get permission to leave… Don't party too hard," He finished, slapping his shoulder.

"Our presents are on the table," Casey told him with a wink before following the detectives out.

Calvin's eyes drifted over towards the table where several presents were wrapped and waiting, he looked over to Olivia who was chatting with Marcus. He walked over to them and waited patiently. She finally turned to him, "Yes?" She asked him with a knowing smile.

"Can I…open the presents now?"

"You don't want cake first?"

"No. That can wait."

"So can presents," Olivia countered.

"Please."

"Alright, alright," Olivia said giving in. "Go on ahead."

He rushed over to the table. "Who's this one from?" He asked, picking up three rectangles wrapped in blue paper, tied together.

"That one's from us," Dickie piped up.

Calvin grinned at him before ripping up all three of them at once. He held up the contents, three PSP games. "Thanks!" He turned to the next one, a small package, wrapped in orange paper.

"That's from me and Uncle Marc!" Michael yelled out.

Calvin opened it slower than the first one, when he got the paper off; there was a box which he opened carefully. He studied what was inside for a second before nearly dropping it.

"What's in it, Cal?" Olivia asked, sharing a knowing look with Marcus.

"They…they… they gave me baseball tickets to the next pro game!"

Elliot whistled, "Wow."

Calvin looked over to Marcus, "I could hug you…but I'll leave that to mom."

Olivia narrowed her eyes at Calvin as Marcus laughed next to her. Calvin quickly changed the subject before she could say anything, "Mom, now I need a mitt so I can catch a ball at the game!"

"Why don't you open your last one," She told him. "That one's from me."

Calvin turned towards the large present wrapped in red. He tore it open and fist pumped as he discovered all of the baseball equipment, and the new PSP game. "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" He said excitedly, nearly tackling her with a hug.

"Glad you like it," She told him.

"Like? More like love."

"Here," Elliot said, handing Calvin a stack of cards that were left on the table. "I think these are from Casey, Fin, and Munch."

"Ah," Calvin responded, quickly pulling open each card. "Money!" He said giddily, his eyes lighting up.

"You're rich now," Dickie commented with a grin.

"Sixty dollars," Calvin said to Olivia, waving it around.

"Want me to hold it for you?" She held out her hand.

"Only if you promise not to spend it," He said seriously.

"I promise not to spend your money."

"Okay," He handed her the three twenty dollar bills. "Can we have cake now?"

Elliot walked over to the kitchen counter, bringing the cake over to the table. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out a lighter and quickly lit the thirteen candles that were on the cake.

Everyone gathered around the table as Calvin went to stand in front of the cake. A chorus of Happy Birthday was sung and Calvin shut his eyes for a minute, making his wish. He reopened his eyes and blew out the candles in one breath.

"Birthday boy gets first piece," Olivia told him, picking up a knife to cut the cake. "Which piece do you want?"

"The corner piece, with all of the icing!"

"How did I know you were going to get that one?" Olivia said, cutting the piece and handing it to him. Then she cut two more rows of pieces and handed them out.

"That was good," Calvin said satisfied as Olivia handed him a napkin to wipe off his red stained mouth.

"You look like you're wearing lipstick," Michael kidded.

"So do you," Calvin said smirking. He turned to Marcus, "When's the game?"

"Two weeks," Marcus answered. "Think you'll be ready to catch a home run ball by then?"

Calvin nodded enthusiastically.

"Good, I'm glad you like them."

"Uncle, Marc?" Michael asked. "We should get going so I won't be late to practice."

"Oh, right," Marcus turned to Olivia. "Baseball practice," He explained. "Sorry to have to leave early on you, Calvin."

"No problem," He assured. "Have fun at practice, thanks for the tickets and for coming!"

"Thanks for inviting us," Michael said, walking to the door.

Olivia followed them to let them out. Calvin turned to Elliot, Dickie and Lizzie. He put a finger over his mouth before reaching for another piece of cake.

"Calvin Benson!" Olivia called from the door. "Don't even think about it."

Calvin turned to Elliot, "How'd she do that?"

"She's got eyes in the back of her head," He answered.

"Yeah, right." They heard the door close before Olivia walked back in.

"Did you have fun?" She asked Calvin.

"Yeah, best party I've ever had." He looked up as Elliot pulled his keys out of his pocket. "You guys leaving too?"

"We better," Elliot told him. "Kathy and I are going out."

"Here, take some of this cake," Olivia offered, handing him a few slices.

"Don't mind if I do," Dickie said grabbing them before walking to the door. "Happy Birthday, Cal."

"Thanks!"

"See you around," Elliot said with a wave before walking with his kids out the door. Olivia walked behind them and relocked it. She came and sat besides Calvin at the table. She dipped her finger in the icing of the cake and stuck it into her mouth.

"Hey, you told me I'm not allowed to do that!" Calvin said.

"Well I'm an adult."

"So? What does that have to do with anything?"

"Fine, my hands are clean, yours aren't."

"It's my cake."

"Fine, go ahead."

Calvin looked at her suspiciously, "Seriously?"

"Seriously."

At her encouraging nod, he reached over with two fingers and ran them across the side of the cake. He licked it off and reached back to get more.

"Nu-uh!" Olivia said grabbing his arm, "You can only do it once. Or else you'll get spit all over the cake."

"I already did that when I blew out the candles."

Olivia wrinkled her nose slightly, debating the information. "Very true. Okay, but don't be complaining when you have a massive stomach ache later."

"I'll feel fine after I throw up," He answered, getting more frosting.

"You are such a boy," She said with a grin.

"That's why you love me."

"That's one reason I love you, yes."

"What are others?"

"There's too many," She said with a smile.

"We have all day."

"True. Okay, well there's…"
