Previously on Family:
At the end of the movie Bayard looked down to find Olivia sleeping. He had to watch her for a minute, she looked so peaceful, the weight of the world was not on her shoulders when she sleeps. He reached for the remote and turned the TV and DVD player off. He was tired himself and he didn't have the heart to wake up Olivia, so he gently laid back against the arm of the couch lifting his legs up at the same time turning Olivia careful not to wake her up so that her head was on his chest. He was glad that Jessica was spending the night at Lisa's place tonight. Bayard wrapped the throw that was on the back of the coach around them. He wrapped his arm around Olivia kissing the top of her head. "Goodnight Livia," Bayard then proceed to fall asleep himself enjoying the feeling of having Olivia wrapped in his arms.
Chapter 5: Bonding
The next morning Olivia woke up noticing that she wasn't in her bed, she quickly realized that she was lying on Bayard's chest. The last thing she remembered was cuddling with Bayard watching the movie. She figured she must have fallen asleep while watching the movie. Olivia then felt a hand rubbing up and down her arm. She looked up to find Bayard looking down at her smiling.
"Good morning sweetheart," Bayard said kissing Olivia's forehead.
Olivia couldn't help but smile, she like that name and she knew he meant it. "Morning, sorry for falling asleep last night, didn't realize how tired I was."
"Don't worry about it; it was fine I enjoyed myself last night. Plus I like holding you, watching you sleep and waking up with you in my arms." Bayard said leaning down kissing Olivia on the lips. He pulled back to look Olivia in the eyes that were sparkling. He leaned forward, they start kissing again. Bayard glided his tongue over Olivia's mouth seeking entrance into her mouth. Olivia parted her mouth granting him access, allowing him to deepen the kiss making Olivia moan. The kiss was interrupted by a knock at the door. Reluctantly Olivia pulled back getting up to answer the door, cursing who ever interrupted them.
Olivia was surprise to see Alex standing there when she open the door, "Hey Alex." Olivia said greeting her friend.
"Hey Liv, I was just stopping by to see if you wanted to grab something to eat and go by the mall before practice and the game." Alex said walking in, then stopping in her tracks when she saw Bayard in the living room. "Hello," Alex said turning to Olivia, "Sorry didn't know you had someone over, we can do breakfast and shop later. I'll see you guy's at the game." Alex said starting to walk towards the door.
Bayard stepped forward, "Ms. Cabot there's no need, I should be going anyways I have to change for the game anyways." Bayard said.
Alex gave him a smile, then glance at Olivia, "No you and Olivia could go out for breakfast and just hang out together. I'll see you guy's later." Alex said hugging Olivia then waving goodbye to Bayard as she left.
Olivia turned back to Bayard, "Sorry about that." Olivia said. She knew what was going through Alex's mind when she saw Bayard here.
"You didn't know she was coming over." Bayard said walking closer to Olivia. "How about I make breakfast for us," Bayard said giving Olivia a kiss.
"Mmm, that sounds good, and while you make breakfast I'll go take a shower." Olivia said giving Bayard another kiss. Then she walked into her bedroom.
When Olivia came out she smelled bacon, eggs, and French toast. "You make French toast?" Olivia asked walking up to Bayard.
Bayard turned around, "Yup, is that ok with you?" He asked hoping she did.
Olivia nodded, "I love French toast." Olivia said giving Bayard a kiss, "I'll set the table." Olivia went to grab some plates and silverware.
They soon set down to eat their breakfast, "Hey I was thinking since I have the weekend off if Jessica could spend the weekend with me, if it's ok with you." Olivia said remembering that she wanted to have Jessica over.
Bayard was glad that Olivia wanted to spend some time with Jessica. He knew they will get along very well, "I think that is a great idea. I'm sure she'll like the idea also. "Bayard said smiling, and then he thought of an idea. "Hey what about Sunday when I pick up Jessica we all go out that day?" Bayard added.
"I think that's a great idea Bay. Maybe we should head out so that you can change before practice. What time is practice anyways?" Olivia asked wondering how much time they had.
"Practice is after school, so around 3:30, game start at 5." Bayard said standing up getting the plates.
Olivia stood up, "Bay let me do the dishes, you made breakfast it's only fair." Olivia said taking the plates from Bayard.
After Olivia washed the dishes, they headed to Bayard's house. They drove talking here and there just making small talk. When Bayard pulled up in front of his house Olivia was amazed at how beautiful it looked. "Bay you have a beautiful house." Olivia said looking at the beautiful mansion.
Bayard smiled at Olivia, "Thanks." Bayard said getting out.
When they walked in it was as beautiful as the outside was, "Make yourself home, I'll go shower and change." Bayard said receiving a nod from Olivia. Bayard then proceeded to head upstairs.
Olivia walked around looking at the various pictures that were around. Just from the pictures she could really see how much Jessica loved her father.
After Bayard changed they sat down on the couch in the living room.
"Bay I love how you decorated this place." Olivia said making small talk.
"You'll have to thanked Jessica for that, she helped with the decorations…Oh by the way I sent a text to Jessica letting her know about staying with you this weekend." Bayard paused laughing, "I think I could hear her scream in excitement all the way here." Bayard said making Olivia laugh also. "Cabot seemed ok with us two being together." Bayard said.
Olivia nodded, "Yeah I told her about us when you asked me out. Alex is my close friend, I trust her. And according to her you are perfect for me." Olivia said getting more comfortable on the coach.
"Well I'm glad she thinks so and that she's ok with dating you despite me being a defense attorney." Bayard said glad he got one approval from Olivia's friends. His biggest concern though was the Captain who was like a father to Olivia.
"Well I think that was no problem, she was just shock that I decided to date a defense attorney, but she was ok with it. I'm considering telling Cragen about us though. He figured out that I was seeing someone and he seems to agree with Alex." Olivia added. She was starting to agree with them.
Bayard was happy that Olivia wanted to tell people about them. "Olivia…Do you agree with them, that I'm right for you." Bayard said curious of how Olivia felt about him.
Olivia looked down at the floor for a minute before looking back up at Bayard, "It's strange how we only gone on two dates and I can't stop thinking about you. My co-workers have never seen me smile so much. They do know that my reason for being so happy is because of some guy who keeps sending me flowers and texting me." Olivia said smiling at Bayard. Olivia turned her body fully towards Bayard, "It's scary because I never thought I could fall for someone so fast. Bay…I'm falling in love with you." Olivia said with a smile on her face. She has never openly confessed to a man that she loved them, maybe that was because she never truly loved a man before.
Bayard smiled back at Olivia, "That's good because I'm falling in love with you too." Bayard said leaning forward to give Olivia a very passionate kiss.
Olivia felt herself falling back against the arm of the couch. She wrapped her arms around Bayard's neck. The kiss was becoming heated very quickly. She felt Bayard's hands move down to her lower back. The only thing she could think of was deepening the kiss.
"Oh My God, get a room you two!" Jessica yelled, catching her father and Olivia making out on the couch.
Bayard jumped up off of Olivia as Olivia sat up straightening out her shirt, she couldn't believe she was caught making out by his daughter she was truly embarrassed.
"Jessica what are you doing home so early?" Bayard asked as he too was trying to straighten himself out.
Jessica shook her head, "How can you be a lawyer and yet forget everything. Because of some teacher's meeting we had a half day, which is perfect so that I can pack for the weekend." Jessica said happy that she could spend some time with Olivia.
Olivia stood up, "I'm glad that you are happy about this weekend." Olivia said.
After Jessica packed her things they dropped her stuff off at Olivia's place and picking up Olivia's car. They then went to the park for practice. They practice for an hour and half before the game. Once again they won, so far this was their best season.
After the game Olivia walked up to Alex, "Hey Alex." Olivia said giving her a hug.
"Hey Liv…congratulations on the win," Alex said, then giving Olivia a knowing smile, "Now about this morning, Bayard and you." Alex said folding her arm.
Olivia shocked her head, "Nothing happened, we watched a movie and fell asleep. We just woke up when you stopped by." Olivia explained as Jessica ran up to them. Alex gave her a 'we'll talk later' look.
"Hey Liv, we're ready to go for the pizza." Jessica said smiling. She turned to face Alex, "Hi I'm Jessica."
Alex smile at Jessica, she was pretty girl, "Nice to meet you Jessica I'm Alex, Olivia's Friend."
Bayard walked over to them, "You guy's ready to go." Bayard said as he grabbed Olivia's hand giving her a kiss on the cheek.
Olivia gave him a smile giving him a kiss on the cheek also, "We're ready." Olivia turned to Alex, "Want to go for pizza?"
Alex thought about it for a minute, "Sure," Alex said happily.
Olivia nodded, "Great let's go," Olivia said heading towards her car still holding Bayard's hand.
Alex watched as Olivia and Bayard walked away holding hands with a smile on their faces, yes her friend was in love.
Jessica walked up to Alex, "Their cute together. This afternoon when I got home from school I caught them making out on the couch. No child should have to see that." Jessica said laughing walking away to catch up with the group.
Alex stood there for a minute with a shock look on her face. The next time she had lunch with her friend she would have to talk to her. Alex jogged to catch up with the group.
They all left heading to the pizza place, they had fun talking and eating pizza. Once they had their full they all headed their separate ways.
Jessica gave her father a hug goodbye, "Be good Jessica and have fun with Olivia." Bayard said giving Jessica a kiss on the forehead. Bayard turned his attention to Olivia, "If you need anything just give me a call."
Olivia nodded, "I will but I doubt I'll need anything, we'll be just fine." Olivia said wanting to give him a kiss. Bayard read her mind because he leaned in to give her a gentle peck on the lips. And with that Bayard left.
Olivia and Jessica left heading over to Olivia's place. Olivia was looking forward to spending some time with Jessica.
They soon arrived at Olivia's place, when they walked into the apartment Jessica took a seat on the couch. Olivia grabbed two bottles of water and gave one to Jessica as she sat down on the couch next to Jessica.
"So do you want to watch a movie?" Olivia said. She planned the things to do for Saturday but forgot Friday night.
"Um…can we just talk a little?" Jessica asked wanting to know Olivia a little better.
Olivia nodded liking the idea herself. She made herself comfortable. "Do you play any other sports?" Olivia asked starting off.
"Yup, I'm on the swim team, tennis and of course softball. I like to stay moving. It's also gives me a chance to spend some time with dad." Jessica said taking a sip of her water. "So what sports did you play in high school?" Jessica asked.
"Well you know about softball, I was also on the swim team, that's about it." Olivia said glad they had something in common.
Jessica nodded, "Cool…Olivia I really do appreciate you having me over and spending some time with me. When my dad did date, the women would never want to spend time with me, my dad would invite them to my games and they'll give an excuse why they can't come, which is why my dad never stayed with them."
"You two come as a package deal." Olivia said laughing yet understanding what Jessica said.
Jessica laughed also, "Exactly, you know I have never seen my dad so happy, I'm so happy that you two are together…Hey do you think it's possible for you to convince my dad that I'm ready to date. I just mention boys and he has a heart attack." Jessica said laughing.
Olivia laughed also, "I'll try but don't count on anything. He's a father, most if not all fathers are very protective of their daughters. I know my old partner was very protective of his three daughters." Olivia said taking a sip of her water, "Do you think you're ready to enter the dating world?" Olivia asked the thirteen year old.
Jessica thought about it for a minute, "I think I am." Jessica said not all that confident.
Olivia smiled, "Well just to let you know the dating world is not all what its crack up to be. Yes it can be fun, but you have to make sure you're prepared for the heartbreak and disappointment that comes along with it. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but I don't want you to go into it blind." Olivia said starting to regret saying anything.
Jessica could tell that Olivia wished she didn't say anything, "Olivia I'm glad you said something. To be honest when I think about dating I only think about the fun part but not the so fun part." Jessica said pausing for a minute, "I think I'm ready to date someone as long you can be there to give some advice. I want someone to tell me how it is instead of sugar coating it, you seem like the person who gives it straight." Jessica said happy that she has someone that she can talk to about these things other than her father.
Olivia nodded, "That's from being a cop for over fifteen years, but whenever you want to talk just let me know. And like I said I'll see what I can do about convincing your dad about you dating." Olivia said hoping she would be of good help.
Jessica smiled and nodded as she stood up walking over to Olivia's movie collection, "Thanks, it will be nice to get some advice from someone your age then my age." Jessica said looking through the many movies Olivia had.
Olivia watched her for a second, "Do you have a certain boy in mind that you want to date." Olivia asked thinking that was why Jessica brought up the subject in the first place and the reason why she wants her to talk to Bayard.
Jessica turned around smiling, "You can say that…he's sweet, very smart, and very cute. He asked me out today, I told him I had to talk to my dad first. He seemed ok with that because he said just let him know." Jessica said her smiling getting even bigger as she talked about him.
Olivia laughed, "Well then I will try my very best to convince your father to let you go out on a date with this boy."
Jessica turned around in excitement, "Thanks…You have Despicable Me." Jessica said picking up the movie.
"Oh yeah, and when Despicable Me 2 comes out I'm going to see it."
"You have to let me know when you're going, I love this movie and I'm sure the second one will be just as great if not better." Jessica said excited.
"I will let you know, we can go together. It's supposed to come out July 2." Olivia said getting excited also.
Olivia and Jessica talked some more. They both found out that they both liked The Big Bang Theory, so they watched the show before going to bed.
That Saturday they met Alex at the spa. They received the full works while there. After the spa they went shopping and then headed back to Olivia's apartment to order pizza and watch Despicable Me getting a good laugh. After the movie Alex headed home.
That Sunday morning Jessica woke up smelling food cooking. She got up and walked into the living room seeing Olivia cooking.
Olivia turned around when she heard movement, "Good morning," Olivia said smiling turning back to the eggs on the stove.
"Good morning," Jessica said sounding tired still. She walked into the kitchen, "Need any help?"
"Yeah thanks, you can grab some apple juice out of the refrigerator for me. Breakfast is all done, I hope you like eggs, bacon, and pancakes." Olivia said carrying two plates to the table.
"I love pancakes," Jessica said sitting down at the table.
"I'm glad, want to do anything before we meet your dad for lunch?" Olivia asked.
Jessica shrugged, "We can just hang out here until then," Jessica said, "Unless you had something in mind." Jessica added no wanting to ruin Olivia plans.
"Not really…but we can just hang out here until then." Olivia said taking a bite of her eggs.
Jessica nodded, "Olivia…will your co-worker be ok with you dating a defense attorney?" Jessica asked knowing that cops weren't all to found of defense attorney's.
Olivia nodded taking a sip of her coffee, "My captain would understand and be happy for me…the others I'm not all that sure of right now. I just hope they'll be happy for me." Olivia said. She was nervous about having to tell the squad about Bayard and her, she just hope they'll all understand and be happy for her.
Jessica nodded in understanding, "Well if they care about you, they'll be happy for you." Jessica said eating some pancakes, "I forgot to ask you, do you have any siblings?" Jessica asked remembering what she wanted to ask Olivia.
"Yeah, I have a younger brother name Simon. He's married with two kids, one of which he named after me." Olivia said still couldn't believe Simon name his daughter after her.
"I want a little brother or sister some day." Jessica said smiling at Olivia.
Olivia eyes grew wide when she saw Jessica give her that look. Olivia cleared her throat, "Slow your row, me and your dad just started to date." Olivia said.
Jessica laughed then sobered up, "Olivia…do you want kids?" Jessica asked seriously.
Olivia took a deep breath, "I would love to have children some day. I always wanted children, I just never found the right guy to have kids with." Olivia said trying to keep her tears at bay, the pain of being rejected to adopt and then Calvin being taken away was threatening to come up.
Jessica could tell this was a touchy subject for Olivia, "Did dad say where we're going for lunch today." Jessica said trying to change the subject.
Olivia was thankful for the subject change, "Um no he didn't, he just said he'll pick us up around 1." Olivia said. They finish eating after cleaning up they got dress for the day. They watched The Big Bang Theory for a little while enjoying themselves. Around 1:15 Olivia and Jessica heard the buzzer go off, "That must be your dad." Olivia said walking over to buzz Bayard in. Couple minutes later Bayard knocked on the door, Olivia let Bayard in.
"Hey," Bayard said pulling Olivia into a kiss when they pulled apart, "Hey Jess hoped you had fun." Bayard said hugging Jessica.
"Yeah I had a blast, we went to the spa yesterday with her friend Alex and I found out that Olivia loves The Big Bang Theory and Despicable Me, we're supposed to go see Despicable Me 2 when it comes out." Jessica said.
Bayard laughed, "Glad you had fun." Well are we ready to go for lunch?" Bayard asked.
"Yeah we're ready." Olivia said grabbing her purse as Jessica grabbed her bag. They walked out of Olivia's apartment, Bayard and Olivia holding hands as they walked towards the elevators.
They walked into the little Bistro, they were seated and their orders were taken. They ate, talked, and laughed enjoying the time they were spending together with each other. After eating lunch they headed towards the boardwalk to spend a little time at the carnival.
After the carnival they headed back to Olivia's place to drop her off. Bayard walked Olivia to the front entrance to the apartment building not wanting to leave Jessica in the car alone at night. "I had a great time today, and so did Jessica. She really enjoyed herself this weekend with you." Bayard said.
"I'm glad you guys had fun, I know I did." Olivia said smiling at Bayard.
"Whenever you have a free time this week, want to go out for dinner and do a movie." Bayard asked
"I'll like that; I'll give you a call." Olivia said giving Bayard a passionate kiss.
"You two need to really get a room," Jessica yelled out of the window.
Bayard and Olivia laughed, "If I don't see you between now and Tuesday hopefully I'll see you Wednesday at practice." Bayard said giving Olivia another kiss,
"Ok, I hope to see you this week too." Olivia said giving Bayard another kiss deepening it some. They laughed again when they heard Jessica say 'Oh My God, you two act like teenagers.' "Good night Bayard," Olivia said opening the door.
"Goodnight Olivia," Bayard said watching Olivia enter the building then the elevators, he walked back to the car and got in. When he saw her lights come on he pulled away.
Jessica looked over at her father, "I think Olivia is the one for you, dad, she really likes you and I know you really like her. You two make a cute couple. Even though you two act like two teenagers." Jessica said with a little laugh.
"I'm glad you like Olivia…and I think she's the one too." Bayard said. After the talk Olivia and him had Friday morning he was happy that Olivia felt the same way. He was just glad that Jessica liked Olivia because it made things a whole lot better for Olivia and him.
