Alex took the drink that Serena handed her, taking a sip then sat it down in front of her.

"How have you been?" Alex asked her.

"Busy, I've been promoted with the ACLU" Serena tells her while sipping her own drink.

"That's great! I'm running my own department at the DA's office." Alex says back.

"And how is dear ol Jack?" Serena asked.

"He's now the DA so he finally made his way to the top" Alex replies.

Serena went to open her mouth to reply when her phone rang. She looks down at the caller ID and gives Alex an apologetic look.

"Southerlyn here" Serena answers.

"I see" Serena says, grabbing the napkin from under her drink.

"What's the address?" Serena asked, pulling a pen from her bag.

Serena wrote down the address and hung up stuffing the napkin in her pocket. Serena sighed.

"Sorry Cabot, I'm going to have to head out. Next time this will be on you" Serena tells her throwing a couple bills down smirking at her.

"Next time!" Alex says holding up her drink to Serena's parting figure.

Alex had another couple drinks before heading home herself.

Olivia got home and the lights were off except for the light above the stove. Olivia turned on the switch by the door so she could see better. Olivia looked around the room not seeing Alex anywhere.

"Alex?" Olivia yelled out.

Olivia didn't get a response so she sat her stuff down and followed the hallway back to their room. Olivia opened the door and didn't see Alex in bed either. Olivia pulled out her phone and dialed her number, as the phone rang out Olivia heard the front door open so she hung up.

Olivia made her way back down the hall to hear Alex mumbling trying to pull out her phone. Alex shut the door and tried to take her shoes off.

"Alex" Olivia says, seeing Alex leaning against the door pulling her shoe off.

"Liv!" Alex says back face flushed with her alcohol buzz she has going on.

"You look like you're feeling great" Olivia says, chuckling.

"I am, I had a couple drinks" Alex says, wrapping her arms around Olivia's neck pulling her into a quick kiss.

"Mm, I see that" Olivia says against Alex's lips.

Alex kissed her again deepening the kiss.

Alex slid her hands down Olivia's neck to her arms and down further grabbing on to her waist.

Alex tried to pull Olivia's shirt up but Olivia stopped her. Alex made a huff of annoyance moving her kisses to Olivia's neck.

"How many drinks have you had?" Olivia asked, trying to catch her breath.

"Not enough to not know what I'm doing" Alex says back nipping at Olivia's neck.

"Alexandra" Olivia says, scoffing a little leaning back from Alex's grasp and memorizing lips.

Alex pulled back looking at Liv's face.

"Olivia" Alex says teasingly.

Olivia lifted an eyebrow at her, a smirk starting at the corners of her lips.

"You are not taking advantage of me. I want this, I want you in our bed. Take me to bed Liv" Alex states boldly.

"Yea?" Olivia questioned

"Yes" Alex confirmed, smirking at her.

Alex leaned in to kiss her and started to slowly walk her back towards their room. They get about halfway through the hallway and hear a phone ring out.Olivia groans against Alex's lips.

"Don't answer it" Alex says back biting Olivia's lip.

They quickly make their way to their room and shred the rest of their clothes. They stayed up late into the night until finally falling back on their bed sheets slick with sweat.

In the morning they slept in a bit later than usual due to their late night activities. Olivia woke up first, taking a quick shower and starting on breakfast. She made them omelets, toast with coffee. Nothing fancy but healthy nonetheless. Olivia went into the room and went to Alex's side of the bed, slightly moving the hair from her face. Alex's eye peaked open and saw Olivia staring back at her.

"Good morning," Alex's raspy voice says to her.

"Good morning, beautiful" Olivia whispers to her eyes shining at her.

"I smell coffee" Alex mumbles into a yawn pulling herself up to a sitting position.

"And breakfast, we don't want it to get cold" Olivia says, taking one of Alex's hands and pulling her up.

They eat breakfast and each drink two cups of coffee before it is over. Alex puts the dishes in the sink and rinses them off before putting them in the dishwasher.

Olivia comes to stand next to her leaning against the counter.

"So I know we didn't get a chance to talk about our days when we got home" Olivia starts out saying.

Alex is finishing up putting the last cup in the dishwasher and turns to face her.

"Mhm" Alex responds smiling back at her rethinking about their activities.

"So drinks with your co-workers?" Olivia asked softly.

"No, actually Serena and I went to get drinks but she had to leave for some reason not too long after I got there" Alex tells her shrugging her shoulders.

"Southerlyn?" Olivia asked her.

"Yea, we ran into each other the other day and tried to make tentative plans to catch up. How was your re-interview with your victim?" Alex asked back knowing this case has been a mess from the start.

"Well she lied about writing the book so that puts a damper on her credibility. I'm sure Barba will figure it out." Olivia says, sighing deeply.

"I'm sorry, Liv" Alex tells her, rubbing her arm in support.

"Me too. But enough about work, what would you like to do on our last kid free weekend?" Olivia asked her, giving her a quick peck on the lips.

"We could go to the rock climbing place you keep telling me about, then maybe lunch in the park?" Alex suggested.

"Sounds great to me" Olivia states back.

They both get ready for the day and head out. They enjoy a few hours at the indoor rock climbing gym then go to an outdoor patio restaurant for lunch and conclude their day walking around the park with ice cream. The park had a music festival going on with a few singers and guitar players that they stopped to listen to for a while.

As they were leaving they saw Jake with his arm in a cast walking around with his family. They made a mental note off it and went home for the evening. They made a quick dinner and settled in with a movie they picked up on the way home. The next day they cleaned up around the house and got ready for the next week ahead of them. They needed to pick up Calvin on Friday from the airport so they coordinated their schedules to make sure one of them were there to pick him up.

Alex sat through a grueling few days at trial presenting her case and listening to the defense attorney present their's. In the end the boyfriend got convicted and Alex was able to breathe a sigh of relief. Alex went home feeling lighter. For once the criminal justice system worked in the victim's favor.

When Alex walked into the apartment to find her two favorite people cuddled up on the couch. Alex let a smile blossom on her face.

"Hey guys" Alex yells over to them.

"Hi babe" Olivia says back to her.

"Hey Ma" Calvin says excitedly.

Alex walks over to them, kisses Olivia's cheek in greeting and then gives Calvin a bear hug.

"I'm so glad you're back" Alex says, kissing his head and finally letting go.

"I missed you guys too, '' Calvin tells her.

"I'm going to get changed, I'll be right back"

Alex threw on a pair of sweatshorts and one of Olivia's NYPD shirts. Alex goes back out to where they were and sits on the other side of him.

"So tell us all about this great summer you had" Alex says grinning at him.

"Well, I think I have a girlfriend" Calvin says excitedly.

Olivia held her breath for a second and then exhaled. Alex put on her winning politician smile.

"That's great bud, how'd you meet her?" Olivia questioned shocked.

"It's Riley, my friend that I went to the festival with." Calvin tells them.

"Well that's great sweetheart, what about Emily? We thought you liked her" Alex asks him.

"Well yea, but she's my friend, I think we should just be friends" Calvin says shrugging.

"Okay. Anything else happen this summer?" Olivia asked, laughing.

"Oh, I learned how to fish. My grandparents took me to this nice lake for a picnic and taught me how to fish. I didn't actually catch anything but I got a few bites" Calvin tells them and looks at both of them.

"Can we go fishing? There has to be fishing lakes here, right?" Calvin asked them.

Alex and Olivia looked at eachother shrugging.

"You know what bud? We will look into it for you" Olivia tells him and Alex nods in agreement.

"Okay, Oh and can we go swimming tomorrow?" Calvin asks them excitedly.

"Sure" Alex says, chuckling at him.

They settle in for the night, waiting on their pizza to come watching some comedy they found on the TV. When the pizza came they sat it on the coffee table and munched on it during the movie. Calvin fell asleep not even halfway into the movie, his head leaning on Olivia's shoulder. Alex took a quick picture of them before Olivia moved, putting a pillow under Calvin's head and throwing a blanket over him. They each gave him a kiss on the head. Olivia put the rest of the pizza away, after that she met Alex in the room as she was turning down the bed to get in. Olivia went to her side and sat down pulling the covers up over her. Olivia laid on her side looking at Alex, she reached a hand out playing with the ends of Alex's hair.

"So what do you think about this Riley?" Olivia asked her softly.

"I think it's summer puppy love, if this Riley makes him happy right now then so be it. It's not like she's here and they can see each other" Alex tells her back just as softly.

"You're right" Olivia sighs.

"I'm always right" Alex sassed back smirking.

Olivia looked at the time on her phone rubbing her face.

"We should get some sleep, someone promised our son a day at the beach tomorrow" Olivia says pointedly.

Alex rolled her eyes at her girlfriend.

Olivia just grinned and pulled Alex into her arms cuddling her until they both fell asleep.

Calvin comes bouncing through the door the next morning in his swim shorts and a T-shirt on.

"Mom! Ma! Good morning!" Calvin shouts excitedly jumping on the bed.

Calvin heard muffled groans coming from them.

"Good morning to you" Olivia says to him rubbing her eyes to get the sleep out of them.

"You're already dressed?" Alex questioned flinging her hand out to her phone to look at the time.

Alex saw the time was a little after eight in the morning throwing her arm over her eyes.

"Yes! Come on guys get up!" Calvin says excitedly.

"We're up, we're up" Alex tells him.

Alex and Olivia get out of bed.

They follow him out to the kitchen where he already has his bag on the table. Alex looks in it and it has a towel and squirt guns in it. Alex just chuckles.

Olivia starts making scrambled eggs and toast for them. They eat breakfast and finish packing up to head out to the beach.

They spend their day at Manhattan Beach. They bask in the warm July weather. They swim, Alex watches Calvin and Olivia chase each other around with the water guns, Alex tries to help Calvin build a sandcastle. After they get done swimming for the day, they walk along the pier stopping to get snow cones and looking at the gift shops.

On the way home Calvin falls asleep in the backseat, even with the sunblock he put on they could see his face and shoulders were turning a pink from the sun. They drove home humming along to the radio.
