Olivia stood there frozen in shock, staring at her confused self in the mirror. So many emotions going through her head, she had always dreamed of this moment but not at all in this situation. As she looked at the positive pregnancy test, she wondered how on earth she was going to tell Elliot.

There was no doubt in her mind that Elliot was the father of this baby, he was the only man she had been with in over a year. Olivia had wanted a baby her entire life and knew how great of a mother she could be to this child, but how was she supposed to break the news to a married man who already has children of his own? She then began to think about what exactly happened that warm, summer night…

Elliot and Olivia had just finished a long, tough case that involved the rape of a close friend of Olivia. Because of the little evidence collected, they were unable to convict the perpetrator. This of course caused a great amount of stress on Olivia as she could feel the pain her friend felt when the jury announced their verdict of non-guilty.

After consoling her friend, Olivia asked Elliot if he would join her for a drink at the bar down the block. Elliot, also stressed out due to his wife Kathy leaving him with his children, instantly agreed to the drink offer.

Hours and hours passed as they both confided in each other about their personal problems. Elliot and Olivia had always been extremely close after being partners for almost ten years, but he never spoke about his marital problems until that night. Olivia could see how devastated he was that his three children were taken away from him. Him and Kathy had been having marriage problems for years, but his kids were the most important things in his life. She thought to herself, "what kind of woman would ever leave such a strong, kind man like Elliot?"

After numerous rounds of drinks, their relationship began drifting away from the platonic side into the romantic realm. Elliot began rubbing Olivia's leg as he told her what a wonderful woman she was.

"Liv, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met, if only I had met you when I was twenty," Elliot confessed.

"Oh please El, you know Kathy will come back. She needs you and so do those kids," Olivia replied.

"I am not sure I want her to come back," he revealed.

Olivia did not need to hear any more. Her and Elliot quickly paid the bar tab and rushed to the car, barely being able to keep their hands off each other.

As soon as they got inside Olivia's apartment, Elliot took Olivia's hand in his while he gently brushed his other hand down her cheek as he confessed his true feelings, "Liv, I have waited for this day forever. I have been in love with you since day one."

Elliot and Olivia spent an incredible night together wondering how they had gone this long without being together…

Olivia nervously walked into work that morning knowing that she had to tell him about the pregnancy. All morning she stayed quiet, trying to find work to keep her busy and to avoid talking to anyone, especially Elliot. Finally, Elliot confronted her.

"Hey Liv, you okay," he asked.

"Uh," she tried replying, but instantly ran to the bathroom not knowing if she was going to make it before vomiting. Elliot ran after her not knowing what was going on. He made his way into the bathroom repeatedly asking Olivia what was wrong.

"Liv, Liv! Are you sick? Do you need anything? Are you okay," he asked worriedly.

Olivia knew that there was no better time than now to tell him. She slowly lifted her head from the toilet and looked at him, tears swelling up her eyes.

"I'm pregnant Elliot. I'm pregnant and it is with your child," she confessed.
