The sunlight got through the bedroom blinds and danced across her face. Olivia opened her eyes and immediately searched for Noah. When she realised that he wasn't sleeping in his crib next to her she panicked. She threw the covers off her body and hurried to the living room.

"Noah we should be very very quiet because mama's sleeping. So you need to tell me what you need here, little man. There is this peach baby cream but there is also this fruit cream with banana and apple. What's the deal here,Noah?" Nick said eagerly holding the two baby creams up for the baby to decide. Olivia couldn't help but elicit a small laughter and she leaned herself at the fridge door making her presence known.

"Good morning, Liv!"Nick smiled happily and looked questioningly between the two creams. She chuckled again and grabbed the banana apple one from him.

"I knew it!" He said triumphantly.

"Good morning to you,too!" She said back while she got seated next to him and looked him suspiciously.

"What?" He said innocently looking.

"How did I end up sleeping at my bed?"

"I had to carry you because you fell asleep in my arms - not that I am complaining- but in the morning you would probably kill me because your back would have hurt like hell" he explained while feeding Noah in his high chair.

"Thanks" she simply said and ther eyes locked with his. Noah picked the exact moment to push his tiny fist into the bowl and then he applied the fruit cream all over his face. Nick made a grimace while trying to clean up the mess.
Olivia laughed again and to him it was pure bliss. He didn't get to hear her laugh often. He loved her laughter. It was like a magic melody to his ears especially when he knew too well what she's been through.

"I love listening to you laughing. It's a soothing sound, I don't know, I just love it" he tried to explain the best he could.
She smiled again and hugged him the best she could while sitting next to him.

"I can't help but to fall even more for you" she said instantly regretting her choice of words.
She was about to speak again in a vain attempt to save face,but it was too late. Nick lifted her head to face her and searched her face for any signs that he misunderstood her words. She kept averting her gaze from him, but finally their eyes locked.
He gently cupped her face and kept running his fingers on her cheeks.

"Your face is so beautiful, Liv, you need no make up to cover up because you're perfect"
She smiled timidly and he went on.

"Your eyes, God, they are so expressive and as I have learned through the years they can hold so many emotions. Even if you say different, even when you say you're fine, I look in these beautiful brown eyes and I know if you're lying or telling the truth. I love your eyes. In fact, I love everything about you." He finished and gave her a soft peck on her lips. She gasped and tried to escape from his embrace but she couldn't.

"Liv, don't run. I am telling you that I love you, that I am in love with you. Don't you feel the same?"
She tentatively closed the gap between them and kissing him passionately. He responded with equal passion as he pulled her closer to his chest.

"Bbbooooo" Noah's attempt for attention brought them back to reality and they turned their attention to the hungry baby.

"We'll talk later, Ok?" He asked kissing her cheek. She smiled brightly and nobbed while she made funny faces to Noah and Nick finished feeding him.


Next morning

Her cellphone went off and she cursed as Noah had barely slept last night because of his teething. Wait, that was not her cellphone. She could have sworn that hers was on silent. She turned abruptly to her left and saw a sleepy Nick trying to answer his phone without waking up Noah. No such luck. The infant started fussing and Olivia reached for him to rock him back to sleep.

"Amaro." He answered sounding far from professional.

"Thanks for telling me... Yes, I was informed by my Sergeant about the transfer... I will make sure I come by to discuss... Ok. Have a nice day" he disconnected the call and turn to Olivia.

"I am sorry, Liv. I thought it was on silent." He apologized.

"It's ok. Besides it's already 7 p.m. I would wake up anyway."she gently placed Noah on his crib while heading to the kitchen to prepare a bottle. She came back to feed Noah and Nick had taken him out of his crib and rocked him gently humming a melody. She couldn't help but smile as Nick silently took the bottle and fed the hungry baby so lovingly.

"You were born to be a father" she whispered softly as she sat beside him. She ran her fingers through his dark hair and kissed his temple. He smiled brightly at her and whispered back : "I was born to be the father of your child" he said truthfully and she teared up hearing him say something so emotional.

"I love you" she mouthed to him.

"I love you more" he said back gently.

"He's asleep" he whispered after a while. He gently placed him in his crib and started heading out of the bedroom.

"Where are you going?" She asked laying on the bed.

"You want me there?" He asked hesitantly motioning to her bed.

"Of course I do" she smiled and patted the right side of the bed.

"Well, how can I turn down such an offer" he said teasingly and laid on the bed embracing Olivia.

"Liv..."

"Shhh... don't talk" she commanded.

"I don't wanna mess this up"he said quietly waiting for her reaction.

"Then don't"

"I don't know how..." he admitted.

"Me neither...Nick I am afraid this won't work out"

"Don't think like that. I would never hurt you, you know that, right?"

"Yeah. I know. I trust you."

"Ok. So we will try for the best." He said and it was more of a statement than a question but she answered anyway: "Yeah."
She traced patterns on his bare chest while he gently ran his fingers on her soft brown curls.

"I've always loved your hair." He admitted.

"Just my hair?"she fainted annoyance.

"Everything about you" he said back and silenced any response by kissing her passionately trying to convey his strong feelings for the woman he cared so much about.

"I'm making breakfast" he mumbled against her lips.

"Good luck with that"she said while she headed for a morning shower. He smiled and before he headed to the kitchen he mumbled something about her already taking advantage of him and received her laughter, which made his heart swell from joy.


After some time she walked to the kitchen still fixing her hair for the day and Nick embraced her from behind giving her a sweet peck on her exposed neck. She sighed happily turned to kiss him on his lips. After some time she mumbled something about getting ready for work and they broke apart.
"I made pancakes and hot coffee is waiting for you" he said softly.

"Hmm...As hot as you?" she asked playfully and gave him another chaste kiss on his lips. She tasted the pancakes that were already served at the kitchen table and moaned appreciatively.

"These are really good. Especially considering that I rarely have breakfast before work."

"Now that I am here I will take care of it and anything else you need"he said truthfully and their eyes locked. She smiled widely at him and they had the rest of their breakfast in a comfortable silence while stealing sweet kisses from each other.

"So was it your captain earlier on the phone?" She asked while she was washing the dishes and he was getting ready to leave.

"Yeah. He told me about the transfer. So I am gonna go and talk to him about it." he announced happily and gently kissed her temple while embracing her.

"You sure you gonna be Ok with Noah?" He asked worried.

"Yeah. Go! The sitter will be here in any minute!"she waved him and pushed him to the door's direction. He chuckled and kissed her again this time on her lips. She kissed him back sweetly and then Nick finally passed through the front door.

"I'll call you when I am done with my exciting job on the streets" he winked at her and gently closed the door.

She sighed happily,washed her hands and went in the bedroom to check on Noah. The little baby was peacefully sleeping in his crib, his face relaxed and his hands two tiny fists at his sides, a very common sleeping position for babies.

The peacefully moment interrupted Olivia's phone which discreetly rang from the living room announcing the baby's sitter's arrival. She checked her phone,opened the door at the young girl whom Noah loved just a little less than Olivia and welcomed her in. Then she grabbed her badge,weapon and purse and made her way to the door after kissing Noah goodbye, a small smile forming on her lips for the rest of the day.

So Bensaro is together? What do you think?
