Olivia entered her apartment and checked her messages

Olivia entered her apartment and checked her messages. Casey brought the remainder of the cake kitchen.

Hey Liv, its El happy birthday I hope you live to see many more.

Hey Captain, Happy Birthday I miss you, you can visit me some time you know you are like my daughter Visit the old Cap'n sometime, have fun.

Why can't you keep your cell on? Happy Birthday Crazy Girl. Give me that, hey Cap'n Benson, I don't hear anything Fin was saying, that's because it's voice mail dumb-bell. Oh Ok Happy Birthday As she listened to the message from Munch she laughed Casey joined her in her room.

Hi Olivia its Mark from Dawson's International Banking Corp. I was going through you file and noticed it's your birthday, and I was wondering if you wanted to grab a bite to eat if some lucky man hasn't already made the offer.

"Okay girl friend spill who is Mark?" Casey asked. Olivia blushed and turned away her face.

"He's an accountant, pretty cute but... I'm not interested" she finished off. Casey gave her a quizzical look.

"Liv when was the last time you got some?" Casey asked, raising her eyebrow Olivia blushed and hid her face with her hand. "Come on girl spill" Casey said.

"Exactly one year five months two weeks and three days" Olivia said. She had memorized and counted everyday since the last time she saw Elliot.

"Girl aren't you thirsty?" Casey asked bringing back Olivia to the present moment.

"Casey butt out, I'm not going to discus this with out."

"Oh come on, don't you know it's healthy?" Casey said grinning.

"Yes, but I don't want to, I think I lost my sex drive" Olivia said, but saying so she knew it was a lie. As each night before she went to bed and thought of him she felt a ache down there and in her heart. Casey noticed the mood changing and could have smacked herself. She hadn't realized she was still in love with Elliot.

"I'm sorry Liv, I thought you were over you know... him" Olivia felt the tears sting at her eyes and blinked hard to hold them back it was her birth-night and she was going to enjoy it.

"It's okay Case let's talk about..." her sentence was cut off by the ringing of the phone.

Getting up Olivia answered the phone on the second ring. "Hello" she said. Casey scooped ice-cream into her mouth. "Cap'n is it you?" Olivia asked as she listened to the low voice on the other end of the line. "What's wrong?" Olivia asked sitting on the edge of her bed, gripping the phone. Casey watched as her skin got pale and her voice became soft with worry. "I'll be there" Olivia said as the tears formed in her eyes and hung the phone back on its hook.

"Liv what's wrong?" Casey asked, more concerned about her friend who had tears streaming down her face.

"It's Cragen, he's in the hospital" Olivia said picking up the keys from her nightstand and grabbing her coat from the rack. Casey followed her and grabbed her coat.

"So what are you doing?" Casey asked, Olivia was walking around like a zombie as locked the door.

"I'm going to see him, he says he misses me" Olivia said, wiping away the tears and starting the car. Casey couldn't quite understand her behavior, but she didn't bother to question it.

The drive was long and quiet with out even the radio playing. Casey was dozing off to sleep, when Olivia turned the radio on, and came back to life.

"Liv are you okay now?" Casey asked, hoping that she wouldn't upset her.

"Yea, I'm sorry about that, I was just a little out of it." She said and a smile came to her lips once more

"Good caused you had me worried there fpr a second, and mind telling me what that was all about?" Casey asked.

"Okay since I've known Cragen he's always been solid invincible, so I was a bit shaken when he told me he was in the hospital, and I felt guilty for not visiting him." she said, with a fake smile, but Casey wasn't buying.

"Liv you don't have to put on a face for me" Casey said rubbing her arm.

"Good cause, I'm scared to death!" Liv said and perked up.

Okay let me know what you think. I hope you enjoyed it. And thanks for the reviews they've made me happy
