Chapter 2

Alex froze, Olivia was pregnant she had found someone else. While she was happy for the detective, Olivia had always wanted a family of her own, Alex's worst fear was being realized Olivia had moved on. Alex began to shake it felt like her world was coming down around her. The only reason she had for coming back was no longer hers. Alex muttered a quick goodbye and quickly headed for the door. She could vaguely register Olivia's voice but she was so upset she didn't hear what was being said. She had just gotten out the door and in to the hallway when she felt Olivia's hand grab her arm. She turned and looked at Olivia through her tears; she was also able to make out tears in Olivia's eyes as well.

"Alex, where are you going?" Olivia asked in a confused tone.

"I'm happy for you Olivia I really am but I need to go" Alex said as she tried to free herself from Olivia's grasp.

Olivia pulled Alex back into the apartment "Why do you need to go? Can you not handle the fact that I'm pregnant?"

Alex wiped the tears from her eyes and hung her head "I can accept the fact you're pregnant, in fact I'm thrilled for you. What I can't handle is the fact that you found someone else" she looked up and noticed the confused look in Olivia's eyes "I know I don't have any right to say that considering I told you that I would understand if you didn't want to wait for me. Honestly I never expected to be back this soon. I just hoped… I came here in the hope that you hadn't found someone else and we could maybe pick up where we left off"

Olivia gave Alex a small smile "What makes you think I'm with someone?"

Alex stared at the brunette "Your" she was cut off by Olivia.

"Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm with someone" Alex was even more confused at this point. She felt Olivia take her hand and pull her toward the couch "Alex I think we need to talk"

Alex took a seat on the couch and turned so she and Olivia were facing one another. All she could think about was Olivia was pregnant, but what did Olivia mean when she said she wasn't with someone? She knew Olivia had dated men in the past but she knew for a fact Olivia's strict rule of using protection. She was trying to figure out everything she had been told in the last few minutes when she felt Olivia take her hand. She looked up and smiled "I'm ready to listen"

"Okay first off I'm not seeing someone I couldn't bring myself to do that. The thought alone made me feel like I was cheating on you"

Alex smiled and squeezed Olivia's hand "I know I felt the same way. That's why I never dated anyone while I was gone"

Olivia nodded before continuing "After the Connor's trial I felt even more alone. That night in the hotel was one of the best of my life even though nothing happened. Just sleeping wrapped in your arms made me happier than I'd been in a long time. It also made me realize what I was missing. I was so lonely" Alex squeezed her hand even tighter she knew exactly how Olivia felt. "I started thinking about having a child. I knew adoption wasn't an option no agency would give me a child with the hours I keep. So I looked into artificial insemination"

Alex slowly smiled as it was becoming clear how Olivia had become pregnant. "You used a donor?" Olivia nodded. "And you went through this all alone?" Olivia nodded once again. Alex reached over and hugged her "I wish I could've been here for you"

Olivia smiled as they separated "I wish you had been too. I wasn't completely alone Casey has been there to listen" Alex stiffened for a second and Olivia laced their fingers together "She was only there as a friend and she didn't find out until after I was certain I was pregnant. She and Elliot are the only ones who know" she gave Alex a small grin "Well Casey, Elliot and now you"

"I'm glad she was there for you, but I wish I had been too. I hate that you had to go through the process alone. You must have been scared" Alex said as she reached out and pulled Olivia closer to her.

"I was but I was thinking about you the whole time" Olivia ducked her head.

Alex reached over and placed her hand under Olivia's chin and pulled it up so they were looking at each other. She noticed Olivia was crying and she wiped the tears from the other woman's eyes "Liv, what's wrong? Please tell me"

Olivia sighed "Promise you won't run out when I do, and promise you won't be mad?"

"I promise, I shouldn't have ran out a few minutes ago" Alex took Olivia's other hand in hers "I'm here for you"

Olivia smiled the smile that Alex knew was reserved only for her. "Okay" Olivia took a deep breath "I know we hadn't been together that long before you had to leave, but I was already thinking that we would be together no matter what. At least that's what I wanted" Alex smiled and nodded urging Olivia to continue "I also thought that if we would've never caught that case we would've had a future together and that future would've included children"

Alex wiped a few tears from her eyes "You thought about us having children?" Olivia nodded "Oh Olivia" Alex said as she leaned over and kissed Olivia on the cheek. She almost kissed her on the lips but didn't want to frighten Olivia; she decided it was safer to wait a little longer.

"That's why when I went to the clinic I looked for a donor who matched your description. I wanted a child who would look like a mix of me and you. I figured if there was a chance I wouldn't see you for years or maybe ever I could at least have a child who would remind me of you"

Alex released a breath she wasn't aware she was holding; Olivia had specifically picked a donor to match her. She wanted a child that could look like a child they would've had had they been given the opportunity. She smiled at Olivia "Tell me about him"

"Well like I said I picked someone who matched your physical description. He's tall, blonde hair, blue eyes. He's athletic likes to run and loves football and baseball. He loves music, specifically rock music, he also loves to read" Olivia stopped a moment before smiling "Oh and he's a Harvard graduate. Does that sound like anyone you know?"

Alex let out a laugh and threw her arms around Olivia "You know it does sound a little familiar" When they separated Olivia leaned over and rested her head on Alex's shoulder as Alex wrapped her arms around her. Alex squeezed Olivia's hand that she was holding. They sat there in silence allowing the news to sink in. Alex couldn't believe it, Olivia was pregnant and she had chosen a donor who was physically similar to her. Alex thought about the nights she had dreamed about how their life would have been had she not been shot. She often thought about how she would've loved to spend her life with Olivia, she also knew that if they had been given the chance she would have wanted to have children with her as well. The only thing that worried Alex now was would Olivia want her in her child's life, and in what capacity. Would she want her as a close friend, her girlfriend, or would she want Alex to be a parent to this child? Alex was pulled from her thoughts when she felt Olivia snuggle closer to her. She looked down and smiled "So how far along are you?"

Olivia sat up and placed her hand on her stomach "I'm nine weeks"

Alex looked down at Olivia's stomach for a moment before looking back up "So are you out of the danger zone?"

"Well not completely. I'm older so there's always the chance of something going wrong, but so far everything looks good" Olivia paused a moment and looked down at their joined hands.

"Olivia what's wrong?" Alex encouraged her to look up "You know you can tell me anything"

"I know I asked you to have a picnic in the park with me tomorrow, but do you think you could spend the morning with me also?" Alex looked puzzled for a moment. Olivia sighed "I have a doctor's appointment in the morning and I was wondering if you would go with me?"

Alex stared at Olivia a moment; she couldn't believe it Olivia wanted her to go to the doctor with her. What does this mean? Alex was trying to figure out why Olivia had asked her to join her when she suddenly knew what she needed to do. She sat up a little straighter and looked Olivia in the eyes "I would love to go with you, but I think we need to discuss things first"

"What things?" Olivia asked a little nervous.

Alex ran her fingers through her hair and hesitantly began "Olivia for the past two years all I've been able to do is dream about coming home to you, and now here I am. I know it's going to sound cliché but being away from you made me realize how much I truly cared for you, and the night in the hotel sealed the deal for me" she took a moment to wipe her tears from her face "Olivia I love you and I think I always have" she noticed Olivia was crying as well. Olivia started to say something but Alex cut her off "Olivia I want a life with you" she reached out and placed a hand on Olivia's, which was still resting on her stomach "and I would like to be part of your child's life. However I need to know in what capacity you want me in your life. I'm afraid of becoming attached, to you and your baby, and then not being allowed to be part of your life. Olivia I would love nothing more than for us to be able to pick up where we left off, but I need to know how you feel. Olivia I need to know what you want"

Olivia took a moment and the longer the silence continued the more worried Alex became, finally Olivia took a deep breath and began "Alex the entire time you were gone I was the same way, all I could do is hope and pray that you would be able to come home" she reached her hand out and placed it on the side of Alex's face "Alex I love you too. I know it may sound silly considering we have only dated for a month but in my mind we've been together for two years. This time apart has only served to show me how much you mean to me. I couldn't even entertain the thought of seeing anyone else because I was with you" She reached down and moved Alex's hand from covering hers and placed it flat against her stomach "Alex I want you in my life and I want you in my child's life"

They were both openly crying at this point and Alex couldn't help the smile that crossed her face. Olivia loved her and wanted a life with her. Alex reached out and placed her hand on Olivia's cheek and wiped a few tears away. She knew what she wanted but didn't want to push Olivia but in that moment she couldn't help herself, she leaned forward and slowly pressed her lips to Olivia's. She could taste their tears and she couldn't help but whimper when she heard Olivia moan into the kiss. Alex wasn't sure how long she had been kissing Olivia but she finally had to pull away for air. When she opened her eyes she couldn't help but smile, she was staring at the one woman she loved more than anything.

Olivia leaned in and placed another kiss on Alex's lips "So you never answered my question" Alex cocked her head for a moment trying to remember what Olivia had asked, she then grinned when she remembered "Yeah that question. So will you go to my doctor's appointment tomorrow?"

Alex smiled and wiped a few tears away "Yes I'll go with you, I'd love to go with you" Alex stood "I should probably get going. What time is your appointment?"

Olivia stood and held Alex's hand "Well my appointment is at ten" she hesitated for a moment "but I was hoping maybe you would stay here with me tonight"

Alex grinned "I would love to stay here, but are you sure? I don't want you to feel that you have to ask me. I don't want to push you"

"Alex you're not pushing me. I've dreamed about this moment and I just want you here with me. I don't mean we have to do anything, I think it would be good to wait just a bit. I just want to fall asleep with your arms around me, I want to wake up and see you"

Alex pulled Olivia into a tight hug "I can't wait to wake up and see your face. I need to go back to my hotel and get a change of clothes for tomorrow, okay?"

"Okay, but hurry back"

Alex leaned in for a kiss "I will" she walked to the door she turned back to face Olivia "I love you"

Olivia smiled "I love you too"

Alex practically skipped down the steps and back to the sidewalk. She didn't think she could be this happy. She had her life back, she had Olivia back and Olivia was expecting a baby and wanted Alex to be part of the baby's life. For the first time in a long time Alex was happy.

A/N: Okay I know this chapter was a little fluffy but I couldn't help it. In case you're wondering there will be drama coming down the road.
