I'm really happy with this story and I hope you are too! You should review and let me know! I'd love to hear from everyone!

"Casey! Casey!" Alex squealed running into the court house where she knew her lawyer friend would be.

"Did somebody die?" Casey asked.

"No! Have you talked to Olivia?"

"Yes!" Casey squealed now knowing what they were talking about, "Isn't it wonderful? I'm really glad Olivia's happy."

"It's amazing! I think we should throw her a baby shower. I know she isn't really pregnant but, it still feels right."

"You're right," Casey said grabbing her briefcase off the floor, "Let's fill the others in and it can be a surprise."

The smile on Alex's face went from ear to ear. She loved Olivia like a sister and always knew she wanted kids. Now she was getting everything she wanted, including a baby shower. She had always talked about them when they went to lunch on Sunday's.

"Wait a minute..." Alex said, "First we have to let Liv tell everybody and then we can fill them in on the baby shower. Let's just start planning!"

Casey nodded her head in agreement with Alex and they took off heading for the shopping malls.

"I love this movie," Olivia said about a movie her and David had caught on TV.

"It's a chick flick," he smiled yawning and putting his arm around Olivia's neck.

"We are going to need a bigger place if we are going to have a baby," Olivia said motioning her eyes to meet David's.

"Then tomorrow, we go house hunting."

The thought of moving out of her apartment of 20 years and moving into a new place with her fiance soon began to weigh a toll on her. All of a sudden her life was changing and she wasn't used to it. Her old life consisted of busting perps all day and now she wasn't even sure if she wanted to go back to work. She didn't know what to think anymore.

"Can I be honest with you?" Olivia asked interrupting the silence.

"Of course," David said with a furrowed brow, "What's on your mind?"

"Well, um. I'm not- I just... Oh I forgot I have plans to meet Alex and Casey for lunch!" She sprang up off the couch and rushed into her bedroom slamming the door shut behind her to throw some nice clothes on and she ran out the door without saying goodbye. Little did David know she didn't have plans with Casey and Alex.

"Come in Olivia," George Huang greeted, "Have a seat on the couch."

"Thanks for letting me talk to you." Olivia didn't really want to talk to a shrink but right now she just needed some answered and George Huang was the best guy to give them to her.

"So what's on your mind Liv?"

"David and I are adopting a baby," she blurted out with a smile.

"Congratulations!" George beamed.

Olivia nodded her head, "We are also going house hunting tomorrow."

"That's exciting."

"It's just that... I'm not used to things being like this. I don't know how or what to feel," she admitted keeping focus on her hands that were placed in her lap.

"Well how do you feel Olivia?"

"I'm happy." This was the first time that she had said it out loud. She was happy. "I'm happy and I'm afraid of it being taken away from me."

George nodded his head slowly as he realized what Olivia was trying to say, "You're scared that he's going to leave?"

Olivia just blinked as she finally looked George in the eye. "How come you aren't having this talk with David?"

Olivia had thought about telling David how she felt but, she didn't know if he was the type of man who wanted to hear a woman wail about her feelings.

"I don't know."

"Maybe you should try talking to him," George said in his shrinking voice.

"Thanks George," Olivia gave him a friendly hug before leaving his office and almost bumping in to Fin on the way down the stairs.

"My bad Baby Girl," he said switching his cup of coffee to the other hand, "What are you doing here?"
"I got shrinked," Olivia laughed. She didn't see the need to keep it a secret from Fin, he was one of her best friends.

"Do I need to beat somebody up?"

"No," Olivia smiled, "It's all good things."

"Good, I'll see you later Liv." Knowing that Olivia was happy made Fin happy. He had been watching her since the day he came to the unit and even that day he realized how special of a person she was. She deserved to be happy and she was finally getting it. What Fin couldn't understand was why Olivia needed to see a shrink if she was happy. "It didn't matter," he told himself, "She's happy."

On her way back home to David, Olivia came across a beautiful brownstone for sale. It was three bedrooms so there was a room for the baby, David and Olivia, and a guest room, even though nobody stayed over. There was big enough back yard where they could put a swing set and Olivia fell in love. She quickly looked at the address so she could tell David about it and they could further check it out.

"David I need to talk to you," Olivia said walking into her apartment and sitting her keys down on the kitchen table.

"About what?" he asked walking out of the kitchen with a beer in his hand.

Olivia was taken back by the sight. She hadn't seen him drink before and didn't think he was that type of person.

"You're drinking?"

"It's just a beer Olivia," David said confused, "Chill out. What is it that you wanted to talk to me about?"

Olivia couldn't help but get angry that David was drinking. She knew that adults could drink responsibly but ever since her mother passed, she couldn't handle drinking.

"How often do you drink?" Olivia asked not being able to ignore it.

David walked over the kitchen table where Olivia was still standing and sat down in a chair with the beer still in his hand.

"I drink one beer every few months," David answered, "You're treating me like I'm an alcoholic."

Those words. She hated that word. "My mom was an alcoholic," she said quietly sitting down in the chair next to him.

"I'm sorry," David said, "Is that what you wanted to talk about?"

She shook her head no but since they were already on the subject she wondered if she should just continue.

"Liv?" He could see her eyes starting to water and turn red and he wondered what was bothering her, "Olivia you can talk to me."

"I didn't mean to treat you like that... It's just that my mother was alcoholic. She passed away because she was drunk and fell down a flight of stairs."

"I'm sorry Liv," was all he could say. He took his thumbs and wiped the tears out from under her eyes until they weren't falling any longer.

"Anything else you want to talk about?"

"I didn't have lunch with Casey and Alex today," she admitted, "I went to talk to a shrink."

"You're not crazy are you?" David teased walking to the trash can to throw the rest of his beer away.

"No," she laughed. "I talked to him because I'm not used to being this happy. It's all new for me."

David just smiled a huge grin as he made his way back the table, "That's a good thing. I want you to be happy."

"When I was driving back home I saw a really nice brownstone for sale."

"Really?"

"Uh-huh. It had a back yard big enough for a swing set," she said in awe.

"We will have to check it out tomorrow."

Olivia leaned into David a little farther and planted a kiss smack dab on his lips. Neither one of them seemed to want to pull away. It was a like a force was pulling them together. They made their way into the bedroom and the night had only just begun.
