Single and Seeking Barson story

Chapter 1

Author's Note: I have been using the name Authorgirl for many years. Someone else uses the name on this site, that is why on this site I chose AuthorgirlOlivia.

Olivia Benson awoke to the sound of her 4 year old son's cries, she instantly went into mommy mode, throwing the covers off herself, jumping out of bed, and running to his room. Fear gripped her heart. "Oh sweet boy. She said picking Noah up. "What's wrong?" He continued to cry loudly. She felt his head, and found he was silently warm. "Poor baby", she said. Still holding him tightly she ran to the bathroom. She grabbed and wet a washcloth. She placed it on his head. His crying quieted a little. She carried him to her bed, laid him down, and placed the washcloth back on his head. She grabbed the phone on her nightstand, and hit speed dial. She got the answering service."Dr. Lee's office" said a woman with a thick Brooklyn accent. How may I help you?""I need to make an emergency appointment for my son, Noah Benson. He needs to be seen this morning as soon as possible. When can you get him in?""I'm sorry Dr. Lee is on vacation, for the next 2 weeks.""What?"My son needs to see a Dr. I'm sure, if Dr. Lee is on vacation she has someone covering for her.""She does, but the Dr. is all booked for today. The soonest I can get your son in is Friday morning." "Friday morning? No, it's Wednesday, that's not good enough. He needs to see a Dr. today. Dr. Lee has kept a very close eye on him. My son has a history of respiratory issues."Olivia head the woman sigh loudly before speaking again. "Get him here by 8AM that's the best I can do, I'm leaving a note for the Dr.""Thank-you", Olivia answered glancing at the clock on her nightstand, It was 6:45. She heard the woman on the other end of the line hang up. She sat next to Noah on the bed, and rubbed his face. She then felt his head again, he was slightly cooler. She called Lucy, and asked her to meet them at the doctor's office instead of the apartment. Lucy said it was no problem and hung up. Olivia fingers flew across the keypad of her phone once again, she knew the number she wanted to reach by heart."Hello?" said the familiar voice on the other end."Barba, I know we said we would meet for coffee at 8 to discuss the Sanders case, but something came up.""Everything Ok Liv?""I have to take Noah to the Dr. I'll call you when I'm done.""Liv if you need anything, let me know.""I'm sure it's not serious, but I don't want to take any chances. If everything works out do you have some time later today to go over things?""I'll make the time, just call me.""OK, thanks Barba." She quickly hung up the phone and ran to get ready."Ma", Noah said. The sound of her son's little voice filled her with relive, Noah could now speak but he didn't like to speak when he didn't feel good, she took it as a good sign, and carried him to the bathtub.
