The moment seemed to last a life time as the two women touched for the first time. The palm of Olivia's hand felt like fire, she had never experienced anything like this before the feeling was so strong she almost forgot to breath. It wasn't until she head a quiet cough from behind her did she realize that she was still in the precinct. Tearing her eyes away from the depth of the blue ones in front of her she snatched her hand away and nervously pushed her hands in her pockets, anxiously waiting for someone to break the silence.

"So I take it you two have met before." Cragen was the first to speak, he almost felt guilty for interrupting what looked like a personal moment.

"No not really we only met briefly" came Alex'x response, Olivia was glad she didn't have to explain things at the moment. All other higher brain functions were currently keeping her breathing and the idea of multi tasking wasn't high on her priority list as the moment.

"Does anyone want to explain to me why there's a baby in here." Alex was finally given the chance to ask the question that had been bothering her since she heard the violent cries of a child.

"Child services were meant to pick her up this afternoon but no one showed." Elliot answered before anyone could reply. "She's the vic's baby, we haven't found any living relatives so Liv's been playing mommy for the past two days." He continued offering the rest of the group a small smile.

"Any more comments like that Stabler and your going to be playing mommy from now on." Olivia had finally gained the use of her brain just to hear Elliot's remark. The group once again turned to look at Olivia as she pushed past Elliot to sit down in front of her desk. "Oh and before I forget were out of diapers, so someone is going to the store."

"I went last time so it's not my turn, I vote Munch" replied Fin before he could be nominated to go on another baby run.

"I second that motion." Replied Elliot as he was retreating to his desk to continue with his paper work.

"Before anyone goes anywhere does anyone want to tell me why she's still here, have you phoned child services? The last thing I need is my unit down a detective because she's stuck with diaper duty." Barked Cragen stopping all of his detectives in their tracks.

Alex couldn't suppress the giggle that left her lips at the absurdity of the conversation. "Well detectives I will leave you to it, I don't actually start until tomorrow but if you need anything don't hesitate to call." With a smile still on her lips she turned and started towards the door. As she approached Olivia's desk she looked directly at her and spoke so quietly Olivia had to strain to hear her. "It was nice seeing you detective." And with that she was gone, leaving very confused detective in her wake.
