I am so surprised at how many positive reviews I got on this story! I'm glad you all enjoy it so much. So, I maybe kinda lied in the last chapter, saying they would be JUST friends raising the baby. You'll see in this chapter what I mean. So, without further ado, here's chapter two!
Olivia left Barba's office and went to the squad, walking past her desk to Cragen's office. She knocked on the door, hearing his gruff, "Come in."
She opened the door, obviously nervous for the conversation she was about to have with her captain. "Hey, Cap, do you have a sec?"
"Yeah, Liv, what's up?"
She closed the door and sat down across from his desk. "I um… I'm pregnant. Three months along." Her captain stayed silent for a minute. "Why is it that when I tell people that they stare at me like I have ten heads? Can you please say something instead of pulling the disappointed father routine?"
"I'm just startled; I didn't know you were seeing anyone."
She took a deep breath. "I'm not. It was a one night stand; he's the only other one who knows."
"Is it someone we know?"
Olivia looked into her captain's eyes. She bit her bottom lip. "It's Barba's."
"Bar—Rafael Barba? The SVU ADA?"
"Yes, but like I said it was a one night stand, it hasn't affected our ability to objectively do our jobs. We didn't want to disclose a one night stand, but now that I'm pregnant—"
Cragen cut her off. "You two are going to be together?"
Olivia shook her head. "No, Don, we're friends, nothing more. He's going to help with the baby, and we're going to live our lives. I only told him because I thought he had a right to know. If he didn't want anything to do with this baby then I would raise it myself."
Don took a deep breath. "I know that you're early, but with as high risk as you are—"
She put her hand up. "I know its fine. I'll stay out of the field; just let me talk to the victims, so I don't go absolutely bat shit."
"You got it. What are your plans for the rest of the day?"
"Barba is insisting on taking me grocery shopping to stock up on, quote, real food, as he calls it."
"You have what, wax food at your apartment?"
"No, it's real food, but it's not nutritious in any way, and he's going to be one of those over protective dads who is going to make sure that no caffeine touches my lips for the next six months. I'm going to be a miserable bitch with no caffeine."
"You go meet Barba to go grocery shopping and take it easy the rest of the day. We're slow around here anyway."
Olivia nodded. "Thanks Cap." She got up and walked out, seeing her colleagues staring at her. She walked back out to the elevator and jabbed the button.
Amanda walked over to her. "Hey Liv, you okay?"
She looked over at the blonde detective. "Never better."
"You're heading out of here pretty early."
Olivia looked around. "If I tell you something you swear on your life you won't say anything?"
"Hand to God."
She smiled and rested her hand on her belly. "I'm gonna be a mama."
Amanda's eyes went wide. "Liv!"
"Shh! You and Cragen are the only ones here who know."
Amanda covered her mouth. "Oh my God, Liv, who?"
She took a deep breath. "Barba."
"You and…"
"We had drinks after a case a few months ago and one thing led to another and… we slept together. God it was mind blowing. But I just found out two weeks ago, I only told Barba today. I wasn't sure whether I should or not. I figured that he had a right to know he's going to be a father. He's now taking me grocery shopping so that I have more than pickles, peanut butter, and leftover take out in my fridge."
"He's going to be one of those dads hmm?"
She smiled and nodded, rubbing her belly. "Yeah, I have a feeling he'll be one of the guys who will rush over to my apartment in the middle of the night with enchiladas and pizza when I get a craving." The elevator doors opened and she smiled. "See you around."
Olivia drove back to the DA's office seeing Barba standing outside. She looked at him and smiled. "How'd it go for you?"
"Well, I didn't get ripped a new asshole. How'd it go with you?"
"I got just a wee bit of the disappointed father routine, he'll get over it." She shrugged.
"Ready to go food shopping?"
She smiled. "I think we both are. Just promise we can get some cravings foods."
"Such as?"
"I don't know. I'll know it when I see it," she smirked and looked at him, pouting. "Please, Rafi."
He put his hands in his pockets. "Alright, alright, come on."
They drove to the grocery store and they made sure that she had enough food to last her a while, sure to get plenty of foods high in protein and iron. They picked up a few things for him to make her enchiladas and made sure to get plenty of hot sauce. They headed back to her apartment and brought everything inside and got everything put away.
"I'm going to start on the enchiladas, why don't you go get comfortable."
She smiled. "You're the best, Rafi. I'm going to take a quick shower, I'll be out in a few minutes." She kissed his cheek and walked into her bedroom, grabbing a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt. She padded into the bathroom off her bedroom and started the shower, undressing and stepping under the hot spray.
She washed her hair and body quickly. She got done and dried off, quickly getting dressed and walked back out to the kitchen, seeing him still making the enchiladas. "Mm, this place smells delicious."
He looked back at her and felt his breath catch in his throat. "Liv, you look… beautiful. You're absolutely glowing."
Olivia blushed and bit her bottom lip. "You're just saying that. My hair isn't combed, I don't have any make-up on," she shook her head.
"You don't take compliments well, do you?"
She smirked and shook her head. "No, not at all."
He stepped closer to her and wrapped her in his arms. "Well, as long as I'm around, friend, father of your baby, however this relationship grows, get used to compliments out of the blue."
Olivia closed her eyes, feeling his arms encircle her. She felt safe, welcomed, and warm. She let out a gentle sigh of contentment and looked up at him. "It's not going to be easy Rafi, but I'll do my best."
"Why do you have such a hard time accepting them, Liv?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "My mom, she never liked me. I don't even think she loved me most of the time. I didn't get compliments about how beautiful, pretty, cute, smart, or funny I was as a kid. If someone tried to tell me I was one of those things my mom would tell them not to lie to me." She hung her head. "You get used to hearing the negative; you start to think it's true."
He lifted her chin with his finger. "Olivia Benson, you are beautiful, pretty, cute, smart, and funny. You're incredibly sexy. Olivia you're the whole package. Any man would be lucky to have you."
She rolled her eyes and fought the tears that threatened to fall. She shook her head. "It's funny no one seems to be lining up to date me, much less marry me."
He caressed her face and looked into her eyes. "They don't know what they're missing," he whispered, shaking his head gently.
She looked deep into his eyes, searching for something. What exactly that was, she wasn't sure. Doubt, sincerity, dare she say love? She let out a breath and rested her hand on the back of his neck, pulling his face closer to her. "I don't know what we do or where we go or what we're supposed to feel from here, Rafi. All I know is that right now, looking into your eyes, I just want to kiss you. I don't know if it's me or baby and the hormones, but please, Rafi, kiss me."
He cradled her face in his hands, pulling her lips to his in a kiss that was soft and slow, sensual. She wrapped her arms around him, letting out a gentle moan. His tongue teased her lips and she gladly opened her mouth for his tongue, allowing him to massage her tongue, explore her mouth. He broke the kiss and rested his forehead against hers. "You're perfect, Olivia."
She smiled and bit her bottom lip. She shook her head. "I'm not. I'm damaged, more than I care to admit. I'm a mess, and all I know, Rafi, is I need you in my life to help me with this baby. I didn't have a mother to teach me how to be one. I don't know the first thing about taking care of a baby. All I know is that I've known about this baby for two weeks and I already love it more than anything, myself included." She felt tears start to slide down her face and she turned away from him, not used to being this vulnerable in front of someone she worked with.
"Hey, Liv, I will be here for you and this baby, however you want me, as a friend, as a lover, as a husband. Whatever you want."
"I don't want you trapped in my insanity. I can reign it in around kids, but adults, I slip."
"Just let me be here for you."
She smiled gently and nodded. "Yeah." She took his hands in hers and chuckled softly. "Absolutely."
Rafi wiped her eyes with his thumb. "Whatever you need, Liv, I don't care what time of day or night it is, just say the word."
She bit her bottom lip. "You mean it? Anything?"
"Of course," he whispered. "Why, what did you have in mind?"
She shrugged. "Well, I'm pregnant, my hormones are going to be going crazy. There is only so much my fingers can do."
"Hey, if that's what you want, I'll more than gladly oblige. Even if you just need me to get my fingers deep inside of you, making you come because your hormones are driving your crazy."
She gasped and looked up into his eyes, feeling her arousal pooling between her legs. She swallowed hard and felt his arms snake around her waist and pull her closer. She gently bit on his ear lobe. "So, how long til the enchiladas are done?"
He smirked. "Long enough for me to get you off, if you need me to."
She bit her bottom lip and took his hand and slid it down the front of her pants, in her panties. "You tell me," she whispered.
He smirked and ran his fingers up her slit before dipping two fingers inside of her, hearing her moan. She seethed and bit her bottom lip. His thumb swiped across her clit as he started thrusting his fingers in and out of her, curling them, hitting her g-spot over and over again. She gripped the counter and let her head fall back. She pulled him in for a passionate kiss. Her hips started grinding into his hand.
She arched her back and gasped. "Mm, fuck me!" she groaned, her hips grinding against him. She felt him get his fingers deeper inside of her, his palm rubbing against her clit. Her eyes went wide and her knees almost gave out. She gripped onto him, feeling his fingers start to move harder and faster inside of her, his palm vigorously rubbing her clit. "Ooh, Rafi, baby, yes!" She threw her head back and felt her orgasm start to take over, her walls starting to clench around his fingers.
"That's it, Liv. Vendido por mi, Mami," he cooed softly in her ear, gently biting on her earlobe.
Her eyes rolled back in her head and she felt her orgasm reach climax, her walls clamping down around his fingers so tight that it stilled him. Her mouth was open in a silent scream before letting out a guttural grown. "Oh, shit," she whined and pulled him in close, kissing him passionately. She felt him still rubbing her clit and she grabbed his hand, breaking the kiss. "Oh, God, Rafi… Baby, it's too much, please," she begged.
He smirked and pulled his fingers out of her, earning a groan of protest from her lips. He looked into her eyes as he brought his fingers to his mouth, sucking the juices off of them. "Oh, Liv, you taste so sweet."
She groaned. "Fuck that's sexy," she whispered and kissed him again, tasting herself on his lips. "Mm." She broke the kiss and ran her hands over his chest. "Stay and hang out, Rafi?"
"As long as you want me to stay."
"If you want, you can stay the night."
He smiled and kissed the top of her head. "Come on, the enchiladas should be ready, then we can relax, pop a movie in."
She smiled and looked up at him. "You're an incredible man, Rafi. You're going to make some woman one hell of a husband one day, and an amazing father to our child."
He caressed her face and kissed her cheek. "You're going to make an incredible wife, Olivia, and an even better mother, no matter what anyone says or said."
"If anyone saw us now, they wouldn't think we're just friends."
"We're friends with a special connection, Liv," he smiled. He rested a hand on her still flat belly. "This little one." He got down on his knees and lifted her shirt. He kissed her belly. "I can't wait to meet you, baby. I know mama can't either."
Olivia looked down at him and smiled, tears in her eyes. "You're incredible," she whispered, her fingers running through his hair.
