"Cabot."

It was in the middle of the night when the phone rang, Alex answered it half asleep.

"Hey, it's Liv, we need a warrant, can you come down to the precinct?"

The ADA checked the clock, it was 2 AM.

"It's the middle of the night Liv. I have a kid now."

"I know, I'm sorry. But we just can't let this perp go. Please, Alex." The detective pleaded.

"Fine. I'll be there in 10."

"Thanks so much." Alex ended the call in exhaustion and swung her legs over the edge of the bed.

Then the blonde quickly got up and dressed herself.

She checked on Hugh and found them sound asleep. Not wanting to wake them up, Alex left the penthouse quietly. (Cause Alex is rich and they lived in a penthouse)

At the bullpen, the detectives and the ADA worked hard all night collecting enough evidence for a warrant and soon it was morning.

"Cabot."

Alex was at the courthouse looking for a judge to sign the warrant when she got a phone call from Olivia for the second time that day.

"Hey, it's Liv again. Sorry to bother you but um... Hugh is at the precinct... And they're asking for you."

"Are they okay???"

"Yeah, they're fine but I think they look like they're about to cry."

"Okay, I just got the signed warrant, I'm coming back. Liv, could you stay with them until I get back? Get Fin and Munch to execute the warrant."

"Sure Alex," Olivia replied.

The blonde hurried back to the precinct.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alex almost ran into the bullpen, which was hard to do in heels.

"Where are they???" asked the ADA urgently.

"They're in the lounge. Don't worry- "

Alex didn't let Olivia finish her sentence, she rushed towards the lounge and found Hugh teary eyed holding a cup of steaming hot chocolate.

"Is everything alright?" The blonde quickly asked.

"You came back..." the kid said almost with disbelief.

"Of course, I came back. How did you get here?" She asked concerned.

"I walked."

"What happened?"

"I got scared, I didn't know what happened. You weren't there when I woke up and looked for you..."

"Oh. I'm sorry I had to come to work."

"Why aren't you mad at me?" They asked after a moment of silence.

"Baby, why would I be mad?"

"Because I left the house without telling you."

"No, I should be sorry that I didn't tell you that I was leaving. I will do that next time, I promise. Maybe, I'll write you a note."

"Okay... You're not going to leave me right?"

"Of course not. I'm not going to leave." Alex held them in her arms and soothed them.
