Cassidy [A SVU Fan Fic]

Twelve

Olivia slept decently in her bed. She could care less if her husband was angry at her because it meant that her son wasn't going to be lost to a man who could care less about his safety. But Brian did care. He wanted his son to be in a safe and healthy place and that can only be in the home he's been raised in since the day he was born.

Around 5 in the morning, Elliot came into their bedroom to get ready for work. Sometime during the night, Cassidy, Danny, and Hunter had climbed into bed with Olivia and were all sleeping peacefully. Elliot wanted to ruin his wife's morning because he was so angry, but he didn't want to wake his sons up too early and have them not feel good all day.

As the bathroom door shut and the shower was turned on, Olivia woke up. She looked over at the clock, before slowly climbing out of bed. She moved her sons towards the middle of the bed, before leaving the room and checking on Joey. Once checking on her son, she went back into her bedroom and opened the bathroom door. Elliot was standing with his razor in hand as he tried to shave.

"Ever heard of knocking?" He questioned coldly.

"We need to talk about this, El. Before the boys start to notice." Olivia replied, as she grabbed his razor and started to gently help him shave. She had noticed that this early in the morning her husband always ended up nicking himself when shaving.

"All I want is for Brian to be sleeping under a bridge with a dirty needle in his vein." Elliot frowned, as his wife titled his head a bit.

"I can't believe you sometimes."

"Yet you continue to procreate with me." He spoke, which caused his wife to roll her eyes.

"Elliot, Brian will be just another uncle to Cass. Just like Fin, Nick, and Sonny. He won't be anything more, because you are his Daddy and he loves you. He wants to be a cop like you and he wants to be as good of a father one day, as you are now." Olivia spoke, as she finally tilted his head back down. She looked into his eyes and watched as the anger faded away.

"He's my kid."

"He is. He may not look like you, but he is watching you and copying you."

"Are you sure that Brian knows that limits?"

"Yeah, because if he tries to cross that line, I will kick him so hard in his balls, Cassidy will be his first and last child." Olivia grinned. Elliot laughed, as he drew his wife close. They ignored the fact she now had shaving cream in her hair from where Elliot rested his chin against her hair.

Elliot and Olivia took the youngest boys back to their beds, and when they went to move Cassidy, he woke up and was ready to spend some time with his parents without his brothers being there.

"So, what are we going to do today, Momma?" Cassidy questioned after Elliot walked out of the house to leave for work.

"You and I are going to hang out together until your brothers wake up." Olivia smiled, as she reached out and grabbed Cassidy's empty plate.

"Yay!" He exclaimed, as his mother chuckled.

"I know they can get a little annoying sometimes, my love. But they look up to you like you look up to your Daddy."

"I love Daddy. He's awesome." He smiled.

"He's the best." Olivia agreed. She was wishing that Cassidy would look up to her as much as he looks up to Elliot. But she rarely works anymore since they had a kid every year since Cassidy was born, and if she wasn't pregnant, she was trying to keep up with the other kids. Cassidy didn't even really know what his mother had done before she decided to spend time at home with her sons.

"Momma, you're the best too, you know." He spoke sweetly.

"I am?" She questioned, as she looked at her son. Cassidy nodded as he climbed off his chair. He walked over to his mother and hugged her waist.

"Yeah. You are the best Momma I know!"

Olivia and Cassidy went upstairs when Joey woke up with a small cold. She knew that something like this would happen and would mess up her plan for having Brian over. 

"Alright, baby, please go play. I'm going to give Joey a bath and then feed him. Okay?"

"Okay. I hope he feels better soon. I don't like when he is sick." Cassidy frowned, and Olivia nodded her agreement. She walked past the front door, but as she did, Brian knocked on it from the outside. She took a shaky breath as she removed a hand from Joey's small back and slowly opened the front door.

"Hey, Bri."

"Hey, uh, I'm sorry that I'm a little early. I'm just excited." He smiled, and Olivia nodded.

"It's okay. Uh, this little man has a cold. So I'm going to give him a bath so you'll have some time with him alone. Just don't say anything about... you know what." Olivia spoke, and Brian.

"I won't press my luck."

Olivia let Brian into the house, before looking at Cassidy.

"Buddy, this is my friend Brian. He's going to hang out with us this morning for a bit. He'll play with you while I take care of Joey."

"Okay." He nodded, before standing up and handing Brian one of his cars.

"Let's race, Mr. Brian!"

Olivia sat in the kitchen as she fed Joey some oatmeal. She listened to Cassidy talking to Brian, and she noticed how much laughter came from her living room. She was happy that they were getting along, but she was still worrying about what might be said if Brian slips up a bit and Cassidy notices.

"How is it going?" Elliot whispered. Olivia jumped a bit as she saw her husband standing in the doorway that led from the garage into the kitchen.

"What are you doing here?"

"I just wanted to check in. Is everything going well?"

"Yeah, everything is fine."

"Good," Elliot spoke, before walking over to his son and wife. Joey squealed Daddy, which sent Cassidy running into the kitchen.

"Daddy! What are you doing home?" Cassidy exclaimed as he hugged his father's waist.

"I'm-"

"Hey, Elliot," Brian spoke.

"Brian." Elliot breathed.
