"It's a girl!" Fin nearly shouted through the phone.
Elliot looked at his clock and smiled. "That's great, man. When was she born?" It was almost seven in the morning.
"About an hour ago." Fin said. "Eighteen hours of child birth. Most painful experience ever. I'm guessing it was that way for Casey too." He paused. "I heard that another little girl got taken from a grocery store. Do you guys think it's the same guy that took Summer?"
"We think it is, but we really have nothing to go on. He's not in the system, but we have his DNA. He knows where to go. The grocery store didn't have security cameras." Elliot said. "Cassidy left."
Fin let out a breath. "I heard. I'm replacing him. I'm going to be working with John on Summer's case tomorrow." He paused again hearing Elliot's breathing. "How are you taking all of this?"
"Well, Cragen doesn't want Liv or I coming in since he knows we'd try to work the case." Elliot sighed. "I just want to find this guy for my daughter. It's going to be hard enough telling her what happened when she's older. Imagine telling her that we still don't know who did that to her."
"I'm sorry, El. This can't be easy." Fin sighed.
Elliot shook his head, getting rid of the thoughts. "Hey, what's her name?"
Fin grinned. "Carly. Casey's sister, Kendra, suggested it if we had a girl. Casey fell in love with it. Hey...did you hear about John and Alex?"
"Uh, no. John hasn't really been himself lately. What's going on?" Elliot asked worried about his friend.
"John called me last night and told me that he and Alex are planning on getting divorced." Fin sighed. "Alex talked to Casey this morning."
"Are you serious? That's crazy." Elliot said leaning back on the head board of his bed. He ran a hand down his face. "How are they taking it?"
"Surprisingly well. Aparently, they just wanted more time with each other. John works at all hours and Alex is trying to get through college as fast as possible. They saw each other a total of two hours last month. I don't know how they made it this long. We all were betting John and Alex would get cold feet at the wedding." Fin said.
Elliot nodded. "Well, we'll come see you guys later. Bye Fin. Congrats!"
"Thanks, enjoy your day off." Fin chuckled hanging up.
Elliot let out a breath and set down his phone. He felt his wife's hand slap onto his leg. "We finally have a day off and you decide to wake up early?" Olivia asked. She turned to him and opened her eyes. "What'd they have?"
"Well, do you want the bad news or the good news first?" Elliot asked. He brushed back Olivia's hair. "They had a girl named Carly. Fin is taking Cassidy's place in the unit. Alex and John are getting divorced."
Olivia shot up with wide eyes. "What? Divorced? When did that happen?"
"They still love each other. It was just too hard not seeing each other everyday. They saw each other for a total of two hours last month." Elliot sighed. He put his arm around Olivia and brought her to his chest. He kissed her head. "Two hours...that would be hell if I couldn't see you for that long."
"Well, I don't think that's going to happen. We live together. We're married; we work together." Olivia said kissing his chest. She looked into his eyes. "If that ever does happen, do you think we'd end up like John and Alex?"
Elliot pulled her into his lap and kissed her temple. "That's an absolute no. I love you too much to let you go. We'd work at seeing each other more. I mean, if that ever did happen, it'd only be for a certain time period." He held her tighter. "Liv, if I ever lost you, I don't know what I'd do."
"Good, it's the same way for me." Olivia said. "You're the only one I trust with my life. If I lost trust in you, or you completely, it would be hell on earth. I love you."
"I love you too." Elliot breathed leaning his head against hers. After a moment, he spoke up again. "So, my mother said she wanted to take the kids to the museum with Joe and Jordan. We're going to be here with Summer all day. What did you want to do?
Olivia smiled in anticipation. "I have a few ideas for when she goes down for her name. What time is she coming?"
"Uh, about quarter after eight. We have a little time with the boys before she comes." Elliot smiled. "We should call the doctor about Summer when he gets to his office. Actually, I think Dr. Lucas is in today."
Olivia smiled. "You love him too much."
"Whatever." Elliot huffed. Just then, they heard Summer start whimpering through the monitor. "I'll go get her." He jogged down the hallway and found Summer tossing and turning in her sleep. "Summer, baby. Wake up." He gently picked her up to find her trembling. Summer opened her eyes with tears in them and gripped onto his neck. "Murmur, what's wrong? Did you have a bad dream?" She nodded into his neck. "What happened?"
Summer pulled back from him rubbing her eyes. "You went bye bye and didn't come back." She whimpered. She wrapped her arms back around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder.
Elliot sat down on the window bench with her. "I'm not going anywhere, soldier. I love you too much to leave you. You get to spend the whole day with me. Mommy and I have the whole day off. How are you feeling?"
"It's cold." Summer whined.
"Well, there's a first. You are my heater jr." He felt her forehead. She was burning up, but not as bad as last night. "C'mon, let's get you feeling better." He rubbed her back and went out into the hallway to find Olivia yawning.
"Hey, how you feeling baby?" Olivia asked walking up and putting a hand on Summer's back. She saw the tear stains. "What's wrong?"
"It's cold." Summer repeated. She reached for Olivia. Olivia took her and kissed her head.
Elliot looked at his wife's worried face. "She had a nightmare. Apparently, I left and I didn't come back. She didn't want that to happen."
"I wouldn't want that to happen either." Olivia said leaning her head against her daughter's. "She's doesn't have as high of a fever from last night."
"Yeah, I noticed that." Elliot breathed. "I'll get Kendle and Dickie up. You want to take care of her?"
"Yeah, let's go get your fever down." Olivia cooed as she took her daughter into the bathroom. She sat Summer down on the counter and kissed her head before searching for the children's medicine they gave her the night before. "Once we get downstairs, should we cuddle up in our fluffy blanket?" Summer nodded and rubbed her eyes again. Olivia shivered. "Good, Mommy is cold too. But, according to Daddy, that's all the time."
"Movie?" Summer asked.
Olivia smiled giving the medicine to her daughter and watching as she drank it down slowly. "Yeah, we can watch a movie. Should we watch Sleeping Beauty?"
"Yeah." Summer smiled lightly. She reached for Olivia once she put the medicine away. Olivia took her.
"How about we go get it and watch it in Mommy and Daddy's room? That way, Dickie and Kendle won't get sick." Olivia asked. Summer nodded and wrapped her arms around Olivia's neck. "This is going to be a fun day with you. Hopefully, you'll feel good enough to enjoy it." She kissed her daughter's head and started walking downstairs."
