New story! It's not going to be to terribly long, but I hope its good! It was random inspiration, finished in one night. Please rate and review!
Olivia Benson sat at her desk filling out another file of paperwork. She hated desk duty, but being that she was three weeks away from her due date, she wasn't allowed to go out into the field. She wasn't really suppose to be at the squad, but really, who was going to stop her.
"Hey, Liv. Still here I see. And still pregnant." Fin said as he walked behind her to the coffee machine.
"Yeah definitely still pregnant. You should feel how much she is kicking. I swear, I'm ready for her to be out, but God, I'm terrified of the birth." Olivia said. She got up and went to lean on Fin's desk.
It was nice right now. Nobody was in the precinct. It was just her and Fin.
"Ooo! Can I feel her kick?" Fin said excitedly. Olivia laughed and nodded. Fin only showed his soft side when there wasn't anybody else around. Even Elliot hasn't seen it, and they've been partners for a year since her and Elliot got married. Olivia grabbed his hand and put it on the top of her stomach, smiling when Fin's face lit up when her little girl gave a strong kick. "You're going to do great Olivia. I mean seriously, labor isn't going to hurt. Otherwise so many women wouldn't do it." Olivia just laughed and shook her head.
Olivia and Fin were still sitting at his desk obsessing over the baby kicking each time Fin would say something when Cragen walked in.
"Olivia. Look, this is going to be a one time thing. It's beyond simple and nothing more than what you do going to the bathroom when you wake up. I hate having to do this, but you're our only option. Fin, you're going to be her escort. Olivia, you need to go undercover, two days tops. Fin's you're body guard. He'll be with you at all times. Normally I would assign Elliot, but seeing that IAB is still very touchy about you two just working in the same precinct, I'm trusting Fin." Cragen briefed them on their assignment. Olivia was to be the pregnant, rich woman next door to this couple. They "move in" next door to single pregnant women all over Manhattan. After the first day or so next door in these rich houses, they break in and steal almost everything, sometimes raping the women. Fin is going to be silent and never seen outside. Olivia will. The bust will happen in no more than three days. They start now.
Olivia was putting her things by the door when Fin called. He said he'd be there in five minutes. Olivia looked at her watch and decided that that was plenty of time to go to the bathroom and be back in time for Fin to be at her door. She had just started the sink to wash her hands when a knock was at the door.
"Hold on Fin!" Olivia made her way to the door and looked out to see Fin dressed in all black and leaning against her door. Olivia hadn't locked the door so she decided to just start this little operation off with a bang. She quickly turned the door knob, and pulled the door back before Fin could know what was going on. He hit the floor in front of her, scrambling to get up.
"Baby Girl! Not cool! I didn't even hear the door unlock!" Fin said, straightening his clothes as Olivia laughed, shoving a duffel bag at him.
"That's cause I didn't have it locked. You were going to be here soon, so I unlocked it and was waiting. Unfortunately this kid thinks my bladder in a soccer ball." She said between laughs as they made their way to his car. The ride was short, thanks to their playful jokes at each other. Olivia loved having Fin as one of her best friends. He was like her brother in so many ways. They made their way up the stairs in this old Victorian style home. Olivia walked right in and straight into Elliot's arms.
"What?" Olivia was stunned.
"Couldn't let you be out of my site for a while. Had to say goodbye. Cragen is setting up the video feed in every room down here. The second floor has only one window and its double pane glass, and bullet proof. Small and round. Sorry to do this, but that will be you're room. There's a bathroom up there too, as well as one down here where Fin will be. Right beside the stairs is his room. Nobody will go up the stairs without us knowing. We'll be at the precinct keeping an eye on this video. We can be here in ten minutes. I have to go now, but I love you more than anything. You know that. I wouldn't of let you or our baby go into harms way, I feel safe about this." Elliot kissed her deep and passionately as the CSU team and Cragen started to leave.
"I'll see you in a few days." Olivia said. She kissed him again, and when they finally pulled apart, he slowly left, holding on to her hand till the last minute.
It was uneventful the rest of the day. Olivia made herself known outside by decorating the yard a little bit, and painting the mailbox a little, making it feel more like a home. She walked back inside long enough to get a book and some cold water. She sat in a rocking chair outside with her feet up in a rocking stool, reading until the sun went down. Fin was inside doing almost the exact same thing.
Olivia and Fin talked for hours after dark upstairs. She laughed and told him "You know Fin, I feel like a kid sitting here talking to my best friend at a sleep over. Only I'm swollen pregnant, and we have perps wanting to steal everything in this house." They both laughed and finally Olivia gave in and yawned.
"Bed, now. You need all the sleep you can get." Fin said getting up.
"Fine, but I'm taking a shower first. Help me up." Olivia said. Fin helped her up and he decided to go take a shower himself.
The next morning Olivia woke up to the smell of pancakes and bacon. Fin knew what she craved this last month. He's been sent on food errands while Elliot was in the field. Olivia dressed and walked downstairs in her robe just in time to see Fin set the plate on the island. Olivia took a glass and got some milk, peanut butter and syrup along with the plate to the table and started eating, smiling when she saw Fin shake his head and go back to making him a plate.
The day went by normal. Fin sat and was trying to pry the baby names from Olivia, and feeling her kick when the doorbell rang. Olivia smiled and stood, telling Fin to disappear. The doorbell rang again this time a little longer.
"Coming!" Olivia bellowed. She waddled her way to the door and opened it, revealing a woman with a basket, and a man standing with his hand on her lower back. Their smiles gave Olivia Goosebumps.
"May I help you?" Olivia asked. She was thinking they were the perps they were looking for.
"Yes, I'm Ella, and this is my husband Jimmy, we're new next door and we were just noticing you were obviously pregnant and it looks like you like to do crafts. We decided to be good neighbors and make a good first impression. I know it's backwards, but I thought we could become friends. Maybe our husbands could talk." Ella said, she passed over the basket with a bunch of craft supplies.
"Oh! Thank you! You really didn't have to do this. I'm Olivia, and I'm sorry, Jimmy, but I'm not married. Single mother. But I think we could hang out together. It would seem like fun." Olivia said. She sat the basket on the table.
"Oh I'm sorry. Such a lovely lady like you, and with that beautiful belly of yours I jumped to conclusions. We'll see you later though. We need to finish packing. See you around!" The very chipper family left the front porch, holding hand by hand down the yard to the house next door.
"Meet the neighbors." Olivia thought. Fin walked out and said the same thing.
This is going to be fast. Should hit tomorrow or the day after.
Olivia and Fin relaxed the rest of the day, Olivia calling Elliot and giving them the heads up. The night went by quietly, Olivia turning in early. Her back was hurting and she needed some sleep.
Olivia woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of glass breaking. Olivia turned to look at the clock, only to not see anything. The power was out. Olivia grabbed her phone to use as light, only to see that it was dead. She felt her way around, all the way down the stairs. She opened the door to Fin's room, only to see a bright ass huge flashlight lighting up the room, and Fin sitting on the bed, a gun pointed at him.
"Olivia, dear. What in the world are you doing up?" Ella said.
"I heard glass breaking. What is going on?" Olivia said, wincing as a sharp pain went through her back.
"Well, I came in because I saw the front door open, and this man was snoring here. I remembered you saying you were single. I thought he was had broken in." Ella turned when Jimmy came rushing in smiling.
"She's got more stuff than the last people, Ella. Look!" Jimmy stopped short when he saw Olivia.
"Damn it Jimmy! Blew my cover story. Guess we're going to have to kill them. But for now, we need to finish. I can't sand doing a job with the smell of blood in the air. I already took his phone, she doesn't have pockets for hers. Leave them here. Jam the door. Kill them when we're done." Ella said, turning and slamming the door.
Olivia stayed silent, only moving enough to lean against the door, her hands on her belly, eyes closed.
"Liv? Baby girl, you OK? You're looking pale." Fin said, getting up and walking towards her. He only stopped when she held her hand out, palm facing him.
"No, I'm not. Fin, my water just broke." Olivia said, finally looking up, the fear evident in her eyes.
