Chapter 1
A lot can happen in nine months Olivia thinks, she is sitting at the desk she has used for the past 15 years despite the move to the new building. The 1-6 is abuzz with all kinds of chatter, people working on cases. Everyone that is except Olivia, she is seven and a half months pregnant. Seven and a half months pregnant, she still can't believe it. Olivia's mind drifts back to seven and a half months ago
.FLASHBACK.
Elliot had shown up at her apartment and told her he and Kathy had been divorced for 2 months. He went on to tell her that things had gone south after the shooting and they decided divorce was best. Elliot had kissed Olivia then. Something they had both wanted for a while. The kiss was warm and passionate. His hands on her waist pulling her closer to him…
"Olivia go home, get some rest" Cragen says but Olivia doesn't respond.
"Liv," Cragen says as he gently shakes her arm.
"hm what? Sorry Cap, I was thinking and didn't hear you" Liv says.
"I said go home and get some rest. I don't need your doctor yelling at me for letting you stay on your feet all day. You've been here all day, Munch and Fin can handle anything that comes in" Cragen says.
Liv looked at her watch, she hadn't been paying attention to the time. The baby started moving pretty early this morning so she had decided to get up and clean the apartment then got ready for work.
"yeah I guess I should be getting home. I was up early this morning" Liv says
"take the weekend off, get some rest. I'll see you back here on Monday" Cragen says
"Thanks Cap" Liv says as she picks up her purse. She walked out the double doors to the elevator.
Olivia's Apartment
Once Olivia was home she curled up on the couch with a blanket and one of the pregnancy books she had bought months ago. She read for an hour or so then headed to her bedroom. She was so read to climb or rather wobble into her bed. She stopped in the hallway in front of the nursery. Everything was ready for this baby girl. Munch, Fin, and Cragen had all pitched in to help Olivia move from her old apartment to the new one. They had also helped set the nursery up. Olivia peers into the room, making sure everything is the way she left it.
The next morning Liv woke up feeling refreshed. It was Saturday and Olivia had the whole day to relax. Maureen had called last week and told Olivia she needed her address to mail her a wedding invitation. Liv thought the invitation would be here by now, not that she was going to the wedding. Olivia loved each and every one of Elliot's children and she would do anyting for them. But there was no way she could show up to Maureen's wedding pregnant or with a baby because Elliot would be there. Liv gets a shower, then dresses in a pair of her standard NYPD sweats and T-shirt. Come to think of it, she thought, these are probably a pair of Elliot's sweat pants and t-shirt because neither would fit if she weren't pregnant. Olivia is standing in her room in front of the full length mirror, a mirror that was never used until she found out she was pregnant, her arms protectively wrapped around her belly. Other than a few photographs and some clothes this baby was the only thing of Elliot she had left. Thinking about Elliot only brings her mood down so Olivia tries not to think about him.
"Coming" Liv says when she hears a knock at the door. Olivia is stunned by who is standing at her door.
