Is it a Mike Dodds fic if you don’t address “Heartfelt Passages”? And while @carisiismyhomeboy and I would like to apologize for all the pain we’re gonna cause, the truth is, we’re not sorry.
The day started just like any other. You and Mike woke up and got ready for work together, making sure to squeeze in a goodbye kiss as you walked out the door. Although it was his last day at SVU, he didn’t want to treat it as such. With all of the fallout relating to the investigation of Gary Munson, he wanted to keep everything else at the office as normal as possible. You’d been texting back and forth trying to decide on what to do for dinner until he mentioned that he had to step out of the office.
Lisa Munson wants to leave. Liv and I are going to go over there to help her get out.
You had agreed to watch Noah for Olivia while she was at work. You didn’t mind, you loved Noah. He was a sweet kid. Today was just not his day. He was getting cranky because he didn’t get his nap. You tried to lay him down for one, even tried to lay down with him but you couldn’t. The moment Nick walked through the door, he heard the crying of the toddler.
“Jeez, what’s going on in here?” Nick asked as you were doing everything to try to get Noah to stop.
“I’m not drunk enough for this. You take him.” You said as you handed Noah over to Nick. It was like instantly Noah calmed down. You groaned and threw your hands up in the air.
“You alright, babe?” Nick asked as he began to bounce Noah some and wrapped on of the blankets around him.
“He’s been crying for two hours. I’ve tried getting him to take a nap and nothing worked! You come home, and he stops!” You said as you were close to crying due to frustration. Nick frowned and came over to you.
“Hey, it’s alright. Noah’s still trying to get used to you babe.” Nick said. You shook your head and sighed some to calm your nerves.
“W-what if when we have kids it’s the same way, Nicky? A-and I can’t get them to calm down?” You said as tears formed in your eyes. Nick frowned and gently sat Noah on the couch before wrapping his arms tightly around you.
“You’ll be an amazing mother, babe. Trust me. You just have to give Noah some time to adjust to you. I love you. Now let’s put Noah down for a nap.” Nick said as he turned to pick the toddler up. The two of you walked to the bedroom and cuddled with Noah between the two of you.
“What the hell was that? You were fucking him with your eyes, Y/N” Sam barked. “Another couple minutes and I think you would have screwed him right there.” Sam pushed you up against the car.
“Well, at least I didn’t fuck a co-worker, Sam. Someone I have to see every day.” You regretted the words as soon as they left your mouth. Sam backhanded you across the cheek so hard you saw stars and tears stung your eyes.
Sam grabbed your shoulders and slammed you against the car.”Oof.” The wind was knocked out of you.
“That wouldn’t have happened if-”
“NYPD. Back away from her Sam.” The strong voice was a welcome sound. “Now turn around, slowly. Put your hands behind your head.”
Sam narrowed his eyes at you. “This isn’t over.” He gave you a malicious smile before turning around, making your skin crawl.
Nick hurried over, handcuffed Sam, shoved him in his car, then radioed for a patrol car and a medic. Once that was done, he approached you. He gently grasped your shoulders. “Are you okay?” He gingerly touched your face where a bruise was already forming.
You sucked air through your teeth and winced. “Ah.” Nick’s jaw clenched at your pain. “I’m fine. Really. I’ve had…,” you cleared your throat. “I’m fine.”
You saw the disbelief in his eyes. Nick shook his head. “This isn’t the first time he-” Nick stopped his question. He already knew the answer. He scratched the back of his neck. “I’m sorry. It’s not any…”
The arrival of the squad and cops halted the conversation, much to your relief. This was not a conversation you wanted to have with a stranger. A medic helped you onto the back of the squad. You watched as Nick hauled Sam out of his car and into the cruiser.
“So how soon will he be out?” Nick looked surprised at your question. You averted your gaze from NIck to your feet.
“I don’t think anything is broke, but you should still get an X-ray. Examined for a concussion.” The medic put a small bandage over the small cut on your cheek.
You nodded your head. “Thanks.” When you looked back to Nick, he was studying you. “It’s not as bad as it looks.”
“Uh, you’ll need to give a statement. I assume you are pressing charges?” You nodded in the affirmative. Nick offered his hand to help you from the squad. “C’mon. I’ll give you a ride. But first, the hospital.”
Nick left you with one of the officers to give your statement. “I’ll be right back.” He touched your shoulder and gave it a reassuring squeeze.
“Hey, Marino. How ya doin’?” They shook hands and exchanged pleasantries.
“Nick. You gotta see this guys file.” He pushed it to him. “I don’t know how he is still on the streets, let alone a doctor.”
Multiple assault, domestic violence, harassment and other charges- all dropped or dismissed. A couple were from you, the rest were from other women, over the last 10 years. He looked over where you were sitting. Now he understood your question about how soon Sam would be out.
“He is a piece of work. She okay?” Marino nodded toward you.
Looking over to where you were sitting, he sighed. “Yeah. She will be. I’ll be sure of it.” He turned back to Marino. “Where is he?”
“Mr.- excuse me, Dr. Wonderful,” Marino said sarcastically, “is making his one phone call.”
“Hey, baby. It’s Sam. I need something-” He chuckled. “We’ll get to that later. I need a favor…”
@justanotherwriter280 asked: Can we have “See you later, Muggles!” with nearlycanon!Sonny sweetheart Carisi?
“Alright, who’s ready for some warm butterbeer?” Sonny asks as he comes back into the living room carefully balancing a tray full of mugs.
A chorus of affirmation fills the room as his nephew and nieces shoot their hands up. His parents had agreed to watch their grandchildren for the weekend, but Sonny being Sonny decided to stick around part of the evening. A Harry Potter marathon was on the agenda and the familiar soundtrack looped as the movie was waiting to be played.
“Okay, everyone sit back down. You have to be good if you want to get your snacks,” Sonny directed gently as he wound his way through pillows tossed on the floor.
They straightened up and listened obediently, faces turned up in eager anticipation, and you sent up a silent prayer of thanks that you weren’t responsible for putting them to bed later. There was a fifty percent chance of them all falling asleep during the movie, but also an equal possibility of them being wide awake and bouncing off the walls. Sonny didn’t seem too concerned as he carefully placed half full mugs in their hands before sitting back down beside you.
“Everyone have their snacks ready?” Sonny asked and a chorus of cheers went up. He laughed a little and you hid your own laugh in the shoulder of his sweatshirt. It was the one from Fordham and after several years it was finally beginning to mould itself to his broad shoulders.
“Everyone ready to hop on the Hogwarts Express and say, ‘see you later, Muggles’?” he asked as he reached for the remote.
“We’re ready, Uncle Sonny,” one of his nieces turned to reply with a solemn expression. You reached out to rub her arm, ducking your face close to hers.
“You know we’re not going anywhere, right, my love?” you asked her gently at her resigned expression. You and Sonny exchanged a look over her head and you looked back down at her for her response.
“I thought we were leaving to take the Hogwarts Express,” she whispered. “Kyle said we won’t see mommy and daddy until next year.”
“Aww, baby cakes, Kyle was fibbing,” you reassured her as you carefully picked her up and situated her between you and Sonny. “Mommy and daddy will be back in two days. Tonight we’re going to watch a movie and tomorrow nonna and nonno are going to take you to the zoo!” you told her excitedly.
“Promise?” she asked with the same serious expression after a few beats.
“I promise, love bug,” you confirmed, bending down to rub your nose against hers lightly. She giggled and you pulled back and nodded at Sonny to start the movie.
The opening flash of logos crossed the screen as you picked up the bowl of popcorn on your other side and settled it into your lap. She reached for it tentatively and when you smiled in encouragement she dug her little fist into the bowl with a smile of her own. She stuffed some popcorn in her mouth as the dialogue started, already enraptured with the movie, and you let out a small breath of relief. You startled slightly a moment later as you felt something touch the hand that was braced begin you, but you relaxed when you realized it was Sonny’s hand. When you looked over he squeezed slightly and you winked back before turning and watching the movie.
