SVU fanfic

[Nola]

Okay, so in the main thread, I posted a request for help writing a fic based in the SVU fandom and starring Detective Nick Amaro. And I also said I would maybe write a drabble and see if that sparks anyone's interest....so I did that. Only problem is I didn't get that far, and so there is no sneezing or really anything yet *blush* Anyways, here it is....

An unexpected, yet pleasant surprise from his ex-wife, Maria, had brought their daughter Zara to his house for a week. The reason he chose not to dwell on; she would be spending that week with another man. A political hopeful, and an arrogant one, at that. But, weren’t they all?

After a night getting in touch with his feminine side and braiding Barbie doll’s hair, he put Zara to bed early because she complained of a sore throat. And his daddy radar was on full alert the next morning when he dropped her off at his mother’s house and she wasn’t her usual happy self when in the company of her grandmother. Turns out being a part-time dad did not dampen those instincts, because his mother called him with the unfortunate news about an hour before he went home. “Zara’s come down with something, honey,” she told him.

A part of him thought to curse Maria, but he didn’t voice it, because he knew his mother wouldn’t be pleased to hear that. “Do you think I should stay home with her tomorrow?” he asked, phone between his ear and shoulder, as he multitasked between his mom and the last report of the night.

“I can handle a sick baby, el cariño,” she said in that tone of hers that he knew so well. “I handled you just fine, didn’t I?”

“Of course, mama,” he replied. “I guess you shouldn’t keep her up until I get home then,” he continued, a tad sadly.

“Nonsense,” his mother replied, “What does an eight year old have to do on her summer vacation if not sleep in? She’ll be up when you get home, Nicky.”

Time lapse…sorry…

“Morning, Amaro,” Detective Olivia Benson said as Nick strolled in the next day. And slightly tongue in cheek, she added, “Did Zara keep you up last night?” It wasn't hard to notice, even with his tanned skin, that the color underneath his eyes was slightly darker. Also, he already had his usual energy drink opened; the man never drank coffee, and yet, he usually didn't start any kind of caffeine supplementation until at least noon.

A small smile crinkled the corners of his dark brown eyes. “Actually yeah, she did.”

Olivia’s face now registered concern, and she put a hand on his arm lightly. Ever since she had been given temporary command of the SVU unit she had treated him far more like a child than a partner. He wasn’t sure if it annoyed him, yet. “Is everything alright?” she asked.

“Sure. Just a cold. She’ll be fine.” He, on the other hand, wasn’t so sure. He couldn’t remember the last time he’d been sick, but when he woke up with a sore throat himself, he figured he was in trouble. However, he certainly wasn’t going to voice it to the woman who was suddenly showing a lot more concern for him than usual. He already had one suffocating mother, God bless her, he didn’t need two. Maria had never been like that, and he had always been fine with that.

Alright, that's all for now, or maybe ever, haha. Help??
